Day 2 Xian

In the morning, our tour guide will meet you at your hotel lobby to start your exciting Xi'an exploration. You’ll then be driven to the Terracotta Warriors, an approximately 50-minute journey. The Terracotta Warriors, often hailed as the Eighth Wonder of the World, are an awe-inspiring archaeological marvel discovered in 1974 near Xi'an. Created to accompany Emperor Qin Shi Huang in the afterlife, this vast collection of life-sized statues was designed to ensure his protection and grandeur even in death. Each warrior is intricately detailed, showcasing unique facial expressions and armor that reflect their distinct military ranks and roles. The site includes three main pits filled with thousands of soldiers, chariots, and horses, arranged in precise battle formations. This remarkable discovery provides an extraordinary glimpse into ancient China's military history and artistic sophistication, highlighting the immense scale and significance of Qin Shi Huang's legacy.

The Terracotta Army showcases a fascinating array of figures, each meticulously crafted to represent the diverse roles within Emperor Qin Shi Huang's military. The height of the figures varies according to their rank, with the tallest being the commanding generals who stand as imposing symbols of leadership. The army includes not only soldiers but also chariots and horses, each detailed with individual characteristics that reflect their specific functions and statuses. As of estimates from 2007, the three main pits housing this vast army contained more than 8,000 soldiers, along with 130 chariots and 520 horses. Additionally, there were 150 cavalry horses, all arranged in precise formations to reflect the grandeur of ancient military strategy. Despite the immense scale of this underground army, the majority of these figures remain buried, preserving their original state and awaiting further exploration. The sheer scale and intricate craftsmanship of the Terracotta Army provide a stunning testament to the power and vision of China’s first emperor.

Enjoy a delightful lunch at a local Chinese restaurant near the Terracotta Warriors, where you can savor authentic Xi'an cuisine.

After lunch, you'll be driven back to downtown Xi'an to explore the Ancient City Wall, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its historical significance and architectural grandeur. Built in the 14th century during the Ming Dynasty under Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, the wall was designed as a formidable military defense system. Spanning approximately 14 kilometers in length and rising 12 meters high, it remains one of the largest and best-preserved ancient city walls in China. The current structure is an enhancement of the original Tang Dynasty wall, showcasing a complete example of feudal rampart architecture. As one of Xi'an's premier attractions, the wall offers a fascinating blend of historical insight and panoramic views of both the ancient and modern city.

After breakfast, our tour guide will meet you at your hotel for an exciting day of exploration. Your first stop is the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, also known as the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, a defining symbol of historic Xi'an. Constructed in 652 during the Tang Dynasty, this pagoda originally featured five stories and has since become renowned for its Buddhist significance and elegant, minimalist architecture. As a National Key Cultural Relic Preserve, the pagoda played a crucial role in housing Buddhist sutras and statues brought from India by the esteemed monk Xuanzang. Today, it stands as a treasure of ancient Chinese architecture, reflecting profound Buddhist culture and historical importance. The pagoda not only serves as a prominent landmark in Xi'an but also as a revered site for welcoming distinguished visitors and leaders.

The museum boasts an impressive collection of over 370,000 relics, spanning from over a million years ago to the late Qing Dynasty. Often referred to as "the pearl of ancient dynasties and a treasury of Chinese heritage," the Shaanxi History Museum offers a comprehensive view of over a millennium of Chinese history. It highlights not only the rich cultural legacy of ancient Shaanxi but also the peak of China’s cultural and economic development, showcasing the evolution of its society through meticulously preserved artifacts.

After exploring the Shaanxi History Museum, you'll head to the vibrant Muslim Quarter, situated just 100 meters west of the Bell Tower, one of Xi'an's most iconic landmarks. This bustling area, renowned for its lively atmosphere, is lined with an array of shops offering silk scarves, personalized name chops, and colorful local artwork, including the intricate and beautiful paper cuts unique to Shaanxi.
