The Pagoda was built in the 7th century to house the Buddhist materials that Xuanzang (Tripitaka) brought back from his epic journey to India. The Temple complex has several large halls with some great Buddhist statues and murals.
- The Terracotta Warriors and Horses (2 hours): Discovered accidentally in 1974, this incredible army of over 7000 soldiers, archers, horses and chariots in full battle array has guarded Emperor Qin's tomb since 210BC. Each figure is unique, and the painstaking repair and excavation continues in 3 pits which are protected inside huge hangars. 1.5 hours from Xian, there is also an excellent museum and film about the history of the vaults. Photos (no flash) are allowed. Wear comfortable walking shoes.
- A Wa Shan Zhai Restaurant(Qinling Branch): A Wa Shan Zhai Restaurant was established in 2004, mainly specializes in Hunan and Sichuan cuisine. It provides delicacy by using the material from Shanxi, obtaining a nationwide reputation from customers. It would be a nice choice to dine while traveling the nearby Terra cotta Warriors and Horses.

Most customers would like to try some real Chinese food during their visit, so we usually will arrange local food in local restaurants to give you an authentic flavor of Chinese food. But if you prefer to have other type of food such as Muslim or western one, we could aslo arrange it for you with different requirements. Please send me your tour information such as tour date and requirements for this tour so that we will send you the proposal for your Xian tour.
Dear Amy,
All tour guides who have signed contract with our company need to pass the Englsih skill and service quality tests each year, so they are qualified tour guides no matter male or female guide. Anyway, if you would prefer to have a female guide for your trip, it will be strongly requested but should subjects to guide schedule's availability when we get your selecting tour dates, as you know, the tour guide booking will be very tight in peak season from Apr 1-Nov 30.
Most of our customers would prefer to start the tour around 9:00 and ends the tour around 17:00, but it depends on where they will go for that day. Our tour guide will discuss with you about the tour arrangements for the next day in advance, so that you could adjust the arrangements if you want to make your own arrangements for that day earlier.
We could buy the tickets for Tang Dynasty Show for you if you book the land service with us; it is because that if you book the tickets only service from us, you have to pay for the delievery fee and get the tickets from our guide, which may cost much more than that for tickets only. If you book the tour with us, our suggestion is: people might feel tired after whole day’s sightseeing or change their mind of watching the show because of weather or other reasons when they arrive in China, so most of the time we will suggest our customers to book these extra activities when they arrive the city, there is a price for reference in our confirmation letter and our guide could book it for you and send you to the certain place and drive you back to hotel after you finish it. Of course, we could book them for you if you prefer.
Our recommending toursit, deluxe and superior class accommodation is specified in the itinerary of the tour (bottom part of the page). Our starting point of choosing hotels for our customers: good location, comprehensively competitive facilities, feedbacks, service and of course, the price. We understand that most customers have their own taste and requested for the hotels, but as travel agency, we could get better price for most hotels all over China, so please feel free to let me know if you have preferred hotels you want to stay so that we could modified the itinerary and quotation for you with suggestion.
Yes, we could buy the tickets for Terracota Warriors museum for you and charge the tickets delievery fee besides the tickets fee. If you just need the tickets but no other land service from us, this way is not recomended because you could purchase the tickets at the entrance when you arrive. Of course, no delivery fee is needed if this scenic spot included in the itinerary that we design for you.
