Summary：

 3 days Xi'an tour with Must-Sees

DAY 1

Xi'an Arrival

As soon as you land in Xi’an, you will be greeted by your private guide and driver who will take you to the Hanyang Tomb, one of the top 10 things to do in Xi’an according to TripAdvisor. This is the final resting place of Emperor Jingdi, the father of Wudi, who opened the Silk Road in 138 BC. You will learn how the Han Dynasty developed its own distinctive culture after the turbulent times of the Qin Dynasty, and what made it reach its zenith of power and prosperity.

You will be amazed by the sight of thousands of small clay warriors, each with a unique facial expression, displayed under a glass walkway. You can walk over them and observe the details of their craftsmanship. Some of them have mysterious smiles on their faces, which contrast with the solemn expressions of the Terracotta Army. You will wonder what secrets they are hiding and what stories they can tell.

After this fascinating tour, you will be driven back to your hotel and have some free time to relax and enjoy the evening. You can ask your guide for some recommendations on where to eat, shop, or explore in Xi’an.
