Your experience
Stop 1
Meet your professional guide and driver in your hotel lobby to kick off your wonderful Xi’an sightseeing tour. Your first stop is the Terracotta Army Museum. Covering an area of 16,300 square meters, the museum consists of three main pits: Pit 1, Pit 2 and Pit 3. As the largest pit, Pit 1 features neat rows of terracotta soldiers in the front and ancient war chariots in the rear. Pit 2 houses over 1,000 terracotta warriors and 90 wooden chariots, serving as the troop’s command center in ancient times. Your guide will elaborate on the profound history and interesting stories behind this world-famous UNESCO heritage site throughout the visit. After the museum tour, recharge yourself with an authentic local lunch at a specialty restaurant. You will get to taste the iconic Biang Biang Noodles and a variety of classic Shaanxi delicacies.
Stop 2
In the afternoon, you will head to Qinling Four Treasures Science Park. It is the top spot near Xi’an to see giant pandas. This is China’s earliest conservation facility of its kind and one of the country’s four major panda breeding bases. It is home to Qizai, the world’s only brown giant panda. Besides pandas, the park boasts the world’s largest groups of crested ibises, golden snub-nosed monkeys and takins. Your guide will introduce these endangered species to you in detail. You can watch the pandas — including the unique rare brown panda — playing and feeding. They look lazy but incredibly adorable. Once the sightseeing wraps up, we will transfer you back to your hotel.
