Our Xi'an tour guide will warmly welcome you at your hotel lobby, Xi'an train station or airport, holding a sign that reads "Your Way Holiday."

As you embark on the scenic drive, your guide will provide a brief introduction to the Yucha Grand Canyon, preparing you for the upcoming adventure. Get ready to witness some of the most stunning natural landscapes and formations in the region!
Upon arrival, your exploration of Yucha Grand Canyon begins. Known for its stunning, winding canyons, towering rock formations, and vibrant colors, the canyon offers a unique landscape shaped by centuries of erosion. The tour also includes stops at key viewpoints within the canyon, where you can pause, relax, and take in panoramic views of the rock formations and the lush landscape surrounding you. You will have the chance to walk along the winding trails, marvel at the impressive rock structures, and discover the hidden beauty of this natural wonder. As you explore the canyon, your guide will provide insightful commentary on the formation of the landscape, the geology of the region, and the various flora and fauna that call this area home. Be sure to take your time to enjoy the peaceful surroundings and snap some photos of the striking scenery.
After exploring the breathtaking Yucha Grand Canyon, your guide will lead you on a comfortable drive to Yan'an, the heart of China's revolutionary history.

Your adventure begins with a scenic drive from Yan'an to Wavy Valley (Jingbian County), located in Shaanxi Province. Along the way, your expert guide will provide fascinating insights into the local culture, history, and geological wonders you’re about to witness. Get ready for an unforgettable experience in one of China’s most stunning natural landscapes.
Upon arrival at Wavy Valley, your first stop is Flaming Danxia. Known for its vivid red and orange sandstone formations, Flaming Danxia is often referred to as the "fire mountain" due to its fiery appearance. These formations were shaped over millions of years by natural forces such as erosion, which sculpted the land into towering rock pillars and ridges. The vibrant colors and dramatic rock shapes resemble flames, particularly at sunrise and sunset, creating an awe-inspiring visual feast. Your guide will share the geological history behind these incredible formations, explaining how the sedimentary layers in the rock give it its distinctive hues. You’ll have plenty of time to explore the area and capture stunning photos of the fire-like landscape.
Your journey culminates at Water Danxia, where the land meets water in a breathtaking display of nature’s power. Over centuries, water has eroded the soft sandstone, creating intricate gorges, pools, and natural sculptures in the landscape. The smooth curves and water-worn textures contrast beautifully with the rougher, sharper rock formations seen earlier in the tour. Here, you’ll see rivers and streams winding through the Danxia formations, enhancing the surreal beauty of the landscape. Your guide will point out how water and time have combined to create a landscape that’s both tranquil and powerful, making this area a photographer’s paradise.

Your guide will take you to a local restaurant nearby, offering an authentic taste of the region's cuisine. The restaurant is known for serving traditional Shaanxi dishes, ensuring that you get a real taste of the area’s rich culinary culture.

Hi I'm very interested in this 4 day tour from Xi-an. My husband and I will be travelling to Xi-an in September. We have been to Xi-an before so do not need any tour of Xi-an. My interest is to visit all the sites in your itinerary. However we would only like premium 5-star hotel like Wanda in Yan-an, as well as a premium SUV. Can you let me know the price? We are looking at dates 7-10 September for this tour. Also interested in adding the Huashan extra day but as we do not have good knees we want minimum hiking and cable cars etc both ways and any suggestions to reduce the hiking time. Please let me know the proposal and price. Thank you!
Replied:14 April 2026
Dear Katherine,
Thank you for reaching out! It sounds like an amazing trip to explore the surrounding areas of Xi’an, and I’m happy to help you tailor the perfect itinerary for you and your husband.
Customized 4-Day Tour (7th-10th September):
Accommodation:
We can book premium 5-star hotels such as Wanda in Yan'an, as requested. All accommodations will be luxury properties that offer top-notch service, comfort, and convenience.
Private Transportation:
Since SUVs are not typically used for luxury tours, we can certainly provide you with an equally comfortable and spacious vehicle that will meet your needs. We usually opt for premium vehicles like luxury vans or high-end sedans, which offer a smooth and comfortable ride for longer distances. Rest assured, we’ll make sure your transportation is just as luxurious and suited to your preferences.
Tour Activities:
Yan'an: Explore the historic sites with minimal physical exertion. We'll adjust the itinerary to minimize walking while still offering you a fulfilling experience at all key attractions.
Huashan (Extra Day): Since you prefer minimal hiking, we can take the cable car both ways (up and down) to Huashan, significantly reducing walking time. We will plan the route so that you can enjoy the majestic mountain views without too much strain on your knees.
Additional Customizations:
Given your preference for limited hiking, we'll adjust the activities to ensure you're not involved in strenuous walks. We can also suggest alternative routes or ways to enjoy the sites comfortably, using transport options like cable cars or scenic drives.
I’ll follow up with you by email to send a tailored proposal and confirm the final pricing, ensuring everything is customized to your preferences. I’ll also include detailed information on hotel options and any additional recommendations for the Huashan visit.
Let me know if you’d like to adjust anything further, and I’m happy to make those changes for you!
