Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: The Museum of Qin Terra-cotta Warriors and Horses, Qinling North Road, Lintong District, Xi'an 710600 China

Our English-speaking guide will pick you up at your hotel lobby between 8:00 am and 9:00 am depending on other customer’s hotel pick-up. The exact time will be informed by your guide a day before the tour starts, normally after 6:00 pm, by a phone call to your hotel.

On the way to the Terracotta Warriors Museum, we will first make a short visit to the Terra-cotta Figures Factory which focuses on the reproduction of the Terracotta Soldiers. Once in the Terracota Army Museum, learn about the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty, who ordered the making of this terracotta army during his reign. You can see some of the estimated 8,000 life-size soldiers and horses that were buried in Qin Shihuang’s tomb, a UNESCO World Heritage site, to protect him in the afterlife — a testament to his power.

In the main and most impressive vault, see figures arranged in typical battle formation in 11 columns comprising officers, soldiers holding spears and swords, and others steering horse-drawn chariots, as if ready for one last battle. If you’d like, explore the museum exhibits displaying artifacts and a film on the fascinating history of the mausoleum.

Next you will enjoy a traditional Chinese cuisine lunch in a local restaurant.
