In the morning, your English-speaking guide will pick you up at your hotel lobby and then accompany you on a 1-hour drive directly to the Terracotta Warriors Museum.

After entry, spend at least 2.5 hours seeing over 8,000 pottery soldiers, horses, and chariots in three burial pits of the mausoleum of China’s First Emperor 2,000 years ago, and observe myriad undisclosed collections up close in a special exhibition hall. Around noon, enjoy a simple buffet lunch with Chinese dishes and soft drinks.

At last, your guide and the driver will escort you back to downtown Xi’an and stop at the square of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. Here’s the end of your half-day Xi’an tour. If you like, explore the nearby areas independently before returning to the hotel on your own. Your guide would be willing to provide you with the transportation advice for your return.
