Zwei Abenteuerinnen in Xi'an
Gemeinsam mit Jenny Yang habe ich drei Tage die wundersch?ne Stadt Xi'an erkundet und bin mit tollen Entdeckungen weitergefahren. Jenny's Wissen der historischen und aktuellen Bedeutung der Region für deren Entwicklung hat mich begeistert. Temperamentvoll und engagiert lie? sie mich auch am authentischen Leben in der Stadt teilnehmen, dadurch hatte ich wundervolle Begegnungen mit interessanten Menschen. Meine Ispiration Xi'an nochmals zu besuchen und wieder mit Jenny Yang Neues zu entdecken, habe ich mit nach Hause genommen. Mein Programm waren, Die gro?e Wildganspagode, die Terrakotta Armee, das muslimische Vietel, die Stadtmauer, die Dynastie Show und viele kleine Begegnungen haben mir bleibende Erinnerungen geschenkt, dafür herzlich Dank Barbara more

Our little " Pocket Rocket "
My friends and I are here to celebrate a couple of birthday's one being a big special one. Visiting Xi’an was an unforgettable experience, made truly exceptional by our incredible tour guide Crystal . From start to finish, she went above and beyond to ensure every moment was seamless and special. Nothing was ever too much trouble—her kindness, deep knowledge of the city’s vast history, and genuine care made us feel so welcomed and cared for, we had a great laugh with her, my friend gave her a new name, "Pocket Rocket " she was so fast and got things done. Thanks to her, we not only saw the sights but truly connected with the culture. I would % recommend her to anyone visiting Xi’an, I doubt you'd find a more dedicated or thoughtful guide. She's passionate and thoroughly enjoys her job. more

Suggested Itinerary
Here is a suggested itinerary. We are happy to customize a tour according to your interests.
Board the morning train from Beijing to Xi'an. Your personal Xi'an guide will greet you upon arrival and guide you through an afternoon city tour.
A trip to the Ancient City Wall offers spectacular, sweeping views of Xi'an. This magnificent fortification, complete with its high walls, ramparts, gates, and watchtowers, is recognized as one of China's most intact ancient defenses.
Wander through the vibrant Muslim Quarter, where the tantalizing aromas of street food mingle with the bustling sounds of local markets.
Sample Xi'an's famous snacks: roujiamo, biangbiang noodles, and lamb soup with pita bread. Or, if you're feeling adventurous, try something even more popular and daring.
Your day begins with a convenient hotel pick-up, followed by a visit to the iconic Terracotta Army. For almost two thousand years, these silent warriors have stood guard over the tomb of China's first emperor.
With your guide's expertise, delve into the mysteries of their construction, preservation, and the long-lost hues that once adorned them: how were they made, how are they preserved, and what were their original colors?
To truly understand the artistry, you'll visit a local shokunin family in their traditional cave dwelling. There, learn the delicate craft of creating miniature Terracotta Warriors and take your own handcrafted piece home as a cherished souvenir.
