Highlights
- Xi’an Mosque - Begin your day in Xi’an with a pick-up from your hotel in the downtown area. We will take you to the Great Mosque, a historical landmark with over 1200 years of history. Xi’an has an important place in the history of the Silk Road, which facilitated trade between China and the Arab world. Many Arabian businessmen traveled to China and settled in Xi’an, resulting in a Muslim community of over 100,000 people in the Muslim Quarter.
We will visit the Great Mosque in the morning when it is quiet and peaceful. The mosque’s buildings were rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty over 600 years ago and the architecture resembles that of a traditional Chinese garden. The atmosphere is both beautiful and steeped in history.

Terra-cotta soldiers and Muslim Mosque and city wall - Our tour guide Owen brought us to the Muslim Quarter in Xi’an. Of particular interest was the mosque which looks very much like a prayer garden. Owen pointed out many points of interest. He brought us to the prayer hall. We could not enter but doorways are open so that you can peer in. It is one of the oldest mosques in existence. Thanks to Owen we discovered this.
Also we visited the Terra-cotta soldiers. This was a great tour. Since this is a popular site, our guide, Owen took us there when others would be leaving for lunch. A great strategy! Owen explained what was happening in each of the 4 pits. Without his excellent explanation it would have been a bunch of figures in a pit. I would highly recommend this tour. Thank you Owen!
The city wall is worth the climb. Beautiful view of the city and an opportunity to get an understanding of life in the past. Our guide, Owen, did a superb job of explaining the wall structure as well as the purpose and the different gates, etc. I highly recommend going to the city wall.

WOW....Terracotta Warriors - a must see! - What a great experience! Who would have ever thought that you would make such a discovery when digging a well! Dodo was great about explaining everything and answering questions. And then we even got to meet the farmer who made the discovery! The icing on top of the cake was the tea service at lunch. Thanks, Dodo, for a great day.

Great Option for Terra Cotta Warriors - We had a great tour of the Terra Cotta Warriors with Dodo. Having the van ride and being able to skip the line for entrance was great especially given how hot it was. Lunch was perfect. We also got to see the great mosque and the east gate of the city wall. Very good for families with younger children.

Excellent experience - Jessica shared lots of information about the Terracotta Warriors and the City Wall. She provided an excellent, informative private tour for our small group of three. The tour was professional and informative, and lunch on the tour was great. The weather was extremely hot in July, so dress accordingly. Highly recommended.

One day tour: Xi’an with Dodo - Beautiful sites, very rainy day. Driver was kind, gave us two umbrellas in addition to our two. He also helped us with the baby carriage, always smiling and friendly. We travelled with two young children. Dodo took us around all the sites and gave us a good history lesson. The Wall was a great photo op, and the Terracotta Warriors was very busy. Good day.
