Great time in Xi’an
Our guide Jenny Zhang had arranged for porter service to greet us and give us a hand with our luggage as soon as we got off the train. We had gone to Xi’an during the public holiday period and there was also a visiting diplomat so there was going to be large crowds especially at the Terracotta warriors. She was able to troubleshoot and rearrange our itinerary to avoid the crowds. more

Our Guide - Jenny
Arriving at the train station late evening, we were greeted by Jenny - a super friendly and enthusiastic Guide who accompanied us in the car to our hotel. First impressions were very good! The next day, Jenny met us at the hotel and we set off to see the Warriors. Jenny was very positive, informative and energetic - kept us updated on travel times, meal plans and showed us to all the best spots to see the Warriors. Her knowledge was very good, her English excellent and she was very engaging and we got on great. She knew when to give us our own space and time - the balance was just right. After the Warriors, she took us for lunch and took time to understand what we wanted to eat - noting that local dishes were somewhat different to what we are used to in the UK. After that, she took us to the Wild Goose Pagoda and explained everything very clearly. A super day in Xi’an with a super guide. Thank you, Jenny - you did a super job today. more

Suggested Itinerary
Here is a suggested itinerary. We are happy to customize a tour according to your interests and schedule.
You will start the tour with an early flight from Beijing Capital International Airport to Xi'an. Upon arrival, meet your tour guide and begin your sightseeing with the most essential highlights of Xi'an.
See the incredible underground army of over 7,000 soldiers, horses, chariots, and archers that has been guarding Emperor Qin Shi Huang's tomb since 210 BC.
After lunch at a popular local restaurant, walk on the Ancient City Wall or ride a bike to see great views of the city on either side. Built in the 13th century, the walls, ramparts, gates, and watchtowers form one of the oldest and most complete city defenses of China that still stand firm today.
In the afternoon, you will be transferred to the airport for your flight back to Beijing and end the memorable tour.
Trip Notes
Snacks in Xi'an
Xi'an is a paradise of wheaten food. If you have some free time on the day, it is a fun to forage snacks at local food street. Usually we recommend Muslim Quarters that serve more Muslim food and Yongxingfang Food Street where gathers traditional food of Shaanxi Province and it is nearby East Gate of the City Wall.
These snacks are recommended: Shaanxi Sandwich (La Zhi Rou Jia Mo), Cold Noodles (Liang Pi) Dumpling Stuffed with Hot Gravy at Jia Brothers' Restaurant (Jia San Guan Tang Bao) Bread Soaked in Mutton Soup (Yang Rou Pao Mo) Various Noodles
