Terracotta Army Day Trip
Description
No visit to Xi'an would be complete without exploring the iconic Terracotta Army. Prepare to be amazed by the extensive collection of over 7,000 life-sized figures that stand in remarkable formation.
Tour Overview
Our adventure begins as we pick you up from your Xi'an hotel at the scheduled time, embarking on an exciting journey to the Terracotta Warriors. Are you ready to uncover one of the most significant archaeological sites?
Following a scenic drive of approximately one hour, we will arrive at the Mausoleum of Emperor Qin Shi Huang Museum, where the renowned Terracotta Army is located—a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. It’s often hailed as the eighth wonder of the world.
Delve into the fascinating history surrounding China’s first emperor, Qin Shi Huang, celebrated for uniting the nation and establishing the first feudal system. Our tour of this remarkable museum will last around 2.5 hours, showcasing over 7,000 intricately crafted terracotta warriors and horses, which remained buried for two millennia until their discovery in 1974.
Curious about the creators of this grand army and their original intent? We will address these queries and share the enigmatic stories of these ancient soldiers. This experience is sure to leave a lasting impression!
Following our exploration of the museum, we invite you to savor a traditional lunch at a local eatery. Here, you can indulge in the popular Sanqin Combo, featuring the delicious Chinese Rou Jia Mo (often referred to as a Chinese hamburger), the chilled Liang Pi noodles, and the fizzy Bing Feng Qi Shui. A true delight for your palate!
After this culinary experience, we will return you to Xi'an, concluding the day with a drop-off at your hotel, wrapping up a memorable 7-hour journey.
