Destinations: Xi'an
Activities:
This morning we visit Xian’s most stunning site, the Terracotta Warriors. Dating from the second century BCE, the thousands of modeled soldiers, officers, horses and wagons form a small component of the underground army buried to protect the legendary first Emperor of China during his afterlife. His reign, unifying competing kingdoms, anticipated Xian’s subsequent rise to global prominence as the capital of mighty empires in both the Han (206BCE - 220CE) and Tang (618CE - 907CE) dynasties. You will have private access to go further and have a close look at these warriors. Lunch on your own, DaWanCheng Restaurant nearby is recommended. In the afternoon, we will continue the visit to the Banpo Museum and ride a bicycle on the Ancient City Wall. In the evening, you will be treated to a Traditional Shaanxi dumpling banquet.
