What you’ll do
Your morning begins with a greeting from your guide right in your hotel lobby. Relax in an air-conditioned vehicle for a 1-hour drive to the Terracotta Army Museum, as your expert guide shares insights into this UNESCO World Heritage site.
Beat the crowds with early entry and enjoy an immersive, 3-hour journey through the 2,200-year-old Terracotta Army of China’s First Emperor. You’ll fully explore all three burial pits housing over 8,000 life-sized warriors, horses, and chariots, as well as a special exhibition featuring rare artifacts. Pit 1: Stand in awe before the massive army, alongside occasional excavation work. Pit 2: Decode the ranks of individual warriors from their postures and armors. Pit 3: Explore the command center of the entire underground army.
Your guide won’t just recite history. They’ll bring the legendary Qin Empire to life with fascinating trivia and hidden secrets, revealing a dynasty that once rivaled the Roman Empire. Ready to step back in time?
For lunch, refuel with an upscale buffet featuring over 25 gourmet dishes. Watch chefs prepare authentic local specialties like Chinese hamburgers and hand-pulled noodles right before your eyes in the open kitchen, while enjoying Western favorites like macaroni, fried chicken, and croissants. Finish with a selection of pastries, fruits, and a soft drink. Skip the overcrowded tourist restaurants and low-quality village lunches.
Drive back downtown to visit the pagoda, another World Heritage site and a Silk Road landmark, where Buddhist scriptures brought from India by Monk Xuanzang were translated and spread across China. Built over 1,300 years ago, centuries before Columbus set sail, this architectural marvel famously survived more than ten major earthquakes.
