Xian Tour

In the heart of China lies Xi'an, the country's old capital and a city of mystical charm. As the starting point of the ancient Silk Road and home to the world-famous Terracotta Warriors, Xian is a cradle of history and an astounding treasure trove of cultural and riligious relics that beckon travellers from far and wide.

10 Reasons To Visit Xian

  • Xian, a chronology of Chinese history, possesses more items of archaeological interests than any other cities in China
  • Meander among the mysterious and overwhelming Terracotta Army of Emperor Qin Shihuang, one of the most spectacular archaeological discoveries of the 20th Century
  • Visit the pretty nice Big Wild Goose Pagoda, a masterpiece of Buddhist architecture in a distinctly Tang dynasty style
  • Stroll around Xian's Muslim Quarter, and visit the still active Great Mosque - a good metaphor for the cultural mix of the area
  • Get to the old Xian landmark - the magnificent Drum Tower and Bell Tower, located in the exact center of the ancient city
  • Take the opportunity to climb up the ancient City Wall, simply walk, and enjoy the ambience and views of the city
  • Visit the Shaanxi Provincial History Museum, a striking Tang-Dynasty style pavilion with a large collection of historic and cultural artifacts unearthed in Shaanxi
  • Enjoy the Tang Dynasty Dinner Show, which showcases the costumes, music, and dancing of China's golden age: the Tang dynasty
  • Do not miss the opportunity to relish the outstanding Dumpling Feast, a culinary highlight of the region
  • Struggle up one of China's sacred Taoist mountains Hua Shan in the pitch-black night to see the gorgeous sunrise

Exquisite hand-made dumplings in Xian

My guide in Xian was proud of how much she knew about Xi'an, and she was always able to answer my questions. She was also anxious to go the extra mile whenever I requested something new or wished to make a deviation. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the Terra Cotta Warriors, the Xi'an City Walls, the Bell and Drum Towers, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and the "extra" sights I visited with friends including the Muslim Quarter and the 8th Route Army Museum.

Booking Notes
