Your Xi'an journey begins with a warm and personal welcome from our local tour guide, who will be waiting to greet you at the exit of Xi'an train station or your hotel lobby, holding a "Your Way Holiday" sign for easy identification. After a friendly introduction, you'll be escorted into a comfortable private vehicle for a scenic 40-minute drive to the iconic Terracotta Warriors. During the ride, feel free to ask your guide any questions you might have about the day's itinerary or Xi'an’s rich history. This smooth and efficient transfer ensures that you arrive at the Terracotta Warriors refreshed and ready to explore one of China's most remarkable archaeological sites.
Your visit begins with the remarkable Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum, often celebrated as the “eighth Wonder of the World.” This extraordinary site showcases one of the most significant archaeological discoveries of the 20th century. Here, you'll encounter an impressive array of life-sized terracotta soldiers, horses, and chariots, meticulously crafted to accompany China’s first emperor, Qin Shi Huang, into the afterlife. The museum reveals a staggering total of 179 burial pits of diverse designs and purposes within the Emperor’s Mausoleum complex. These pits provide invaluable insights into ancient burial practices and the grandeur of Qin Shi Huang’s reign. Remarkably, despite the ravages of time and natural elements, none of these pits have suffered significant damage, preserving their historical integrity and the marvel of their creation.
After viewing the main excavation pits, you’ll take a short 9-minute walk to reach two unique and immersive experiences designed to deepen your understanding of the Qin Dynasty. To further enrich your visit, you’ll also have the opportunity to experience the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum VR Encounter, where cutting-edge virtual reality technology transports you back over two thousand years to witness the making of the Terracotta Army. Through immersive visuals and storytelling, you’ll gain a rare glimpse into the lives of the craftsmen and the visionary ambition behind this monumental project. For those seeking an even deeper emotional connection to history, don't miss the “Resurrected Legion” immersive performance. This mobile theater experience invites you to follow performers as they bring to life the tale of Qin soldiers preparing for battle. With dramatic staging, atmospheric effects, and close-up interaction, the production transforms history into a vivid, living journey.
Lunch will be enjoyed at a local Chinese restaurant, where your tour guide will recommend some of the best regional specialties. You might savor spicy Hunan-style tofu, a flavorful stir-fried dish known for its bold flavors, or try steamed dumplings filled with juicy pork or vegetables. Another popular option is Shaanxi-style hand-pulled noodles served with a rich, savory broth. For a unique treat, your guide may suggest crispy roasted chicken or sweet and sour fish. With your guide's help, you'll experience the diverse and delicious culinary traditions of Xi'an.
In the afternoon, your journey continues with a captivating visit to the Tomb of Emperor Jingdi, also known as the Hanyangling Museum, located about 30 kilometers (19 miles) north of Xi’an. This extraordinary archaeological site is the final resting place of Emperor Jingdi (188–141 BC) and his wife, Empress Wang Zhi, of the Western Han Dynasty. Unlike the famed Terracotta Army, which showcases military grandeur, Hanyangling reveals a more intimate and human side of ancient life. The tomb contains over 50,000 finely crafted miniature figurines, including civil servants, laborers, livestock, and daily-use items — all meticulously arranged to reflect the emperor’s vision of a harmonious and prosperous afterlife. What makes this site especially unique is the museum’s innovative design: visitors can walk across glass floors directly above the burial pits, offering a rare, close-up perspective of the excavated relics beneath their feet. The seamless blend of history, art, and immersive archaeology makes Hanyangling not just a visit, but a journey back into the elegant complexity of Han dynasty culture and imperial philosophy.
As the final stop of your tour, you’ll visit the fascinating traditional cave houses, offering a unique glimpse into China's rural past. These cave dwellings, carved directly into the loess soil, were once home to local peasants, designed with remarkable ingenuity to remain warm in the winter and cool during the summer months. Preserved by the local farmers, these homes now provide visitors with an authentic experience of traditional Chinese living. While exploring these historic residences, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the daily lives and cultural heritage of the region, immersing yourself in the simplicity and practicality that defined old China. This visit perfectly concludes your journey, connecting you with the ancient and rural traditions of Xi'an before returning to the comforts of the modern city.
Once you have completed your exploration of the traditional cave dwellings (yaodong) in Xi’an, your dedicated guide and driver will be ready to take you back to your hotel in the city or to the Xi’an train station. Throughout the comfortable return journey, your guide will be happy to answer any remaining questions or share additional stories and cultural insights, making sure your day ends on an enriching and memorable note. With our experienced driver ensuring a smooth ride, you can sit back, relax, and reflect on the unique architectural heritage and deep-rooted traditions you’ve just discovered.
