- The Museum of Qin Terra-cotta Warriors and Horses - Arrive at Terracotta Warriors Museum. Your guide will explain every details of this museum and its history as well facts. You will be fed with tons of knowledge. As the world’s eighth wonder, Terracotta Warriors Museum represented the highest clay craftsmanship. It also provided a great source for historians to study the Qin Dynasty and its prior histories. Through the visit to the Terracotta Army, you can have a general idea of how prosperous Qin Empire used to be and what ancient people hold dear in their afterlife.
- Farmers’ Caves - Visit a local family living in a Traditional Cave and learn about the local farmer’s lives. It’s hard to picture someone actually living in a cave, but people do indeed. In fact, it was pretty popular back just a few decades ago in Shaanxi Province. Believe or not, the cave dwelling was comfortable. It’s very cool in the hot summer and warm in the winter. Some people in the northern part of Shaanxi province still live in such a way today.
- Tomb of Emperor Jingdi (Hanyangling) - Set out to the Hanyangling Museum, also called Jingdi’s tomb. It is located at Zhangjiawan Village, about 25 kilometers north of Xian City. It is a joint tomb of Liu Qi, a notable emperor of the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-220AD), and his empress, Empress Wang. It was built in the year 153 AD, now it covers an area of 20 square kilometers. This mausoleum which combines modern technology, ancient civilization, historical culture and garden scenery is the largest museum in China.

Great tour with guide Cathy - Such a wonderful day spent with our guide Cathy, who introduced us in the world of chinese history.
Very well organized, the tour allowed us to also be a part of a tea ceremony.
Our guide even helped us get to the station, we had a train to catch.
I highly recommand Cathy, you will have a great day of finding out old and new things about China, in a very good English and a friendly atmosphere!

See the best of Xi'an! - An excellent tour to pack in a bunch of must see sights in Xi'an! You can't not do the Terracotta Warriors, so why not throw in a couple of other interesting sights while you are at it.
Michael our guide was highly knowledgable, flexible and well organised, making our tour both interesting and enjoyable at the same time.
The lunch part way through the tour was delicious too!
We would highly recommend this tour!

Perfect way to tackle Terracotta Warriors and Emperor Jingde’s tomb - What a spectacular day! The two main destinations are MUST see sights for any visit to Xi’an. We were blown away. Combining them into a one day tour worked fabulously and we did not feel rushed. Our guide Cathy Kong expertly navigated us through the attractions overcoming very long lines at the Terracotta Warriors museum. Her English was awesome - she majored in it at university. She was extremely helpful and had great energy. She helped us with our Chinese and recommended a show Legend of the Camel Bell and helped arrange tickets. Highly recommend her as a guide to ask for.

Very nice day in Xi'an with multiple attractions - This tour is a very good option to spend a full day in Xi'an. There are multiple attractions on the itinerary, including the amazing Terracotta Army, a taste of local life and culture (cave homes), and more.
My guide was Michael and I thoroughly enjoyed spending the time with him. He spoke English very well and was able to provide a lot of interesting information to me.
I can certainly recommend this trip to everyone!

Day in Xi'an - I had an excellent day with Jackie on this amazing tour. He was very informative and able to speak to with ease as there was a driver. Jackie was very knowledgeable about the sites visited, and also about life in Xi'an . The Hangyaling museum was very interesting and very evocative and not at all busy. In contrast, the visit to the terracotta warriors was very crowded, but Jackie was extremely helpful in helping me negotiate the crowds and deal with tickets, gates etc. The lunch and cave house were also both enjoyable. Thank you Jackie for an excellent day!

Go yes or yes - Do not let them tell you. Don't tell yourself, I saw an exhibition here, they have nothing to do with it. I can't tell you much, I don't like to spoil visits. Everything well explained and with plenty of time to see and enjoy the site. Places to eat in the same complex

Extremely fascinating tour - Extremely fascinating and well organized tour. The explanations of our guide Michael were very interesting, he speaks very good English and is familiar with thousends of years of Chinese history. He's also a very nice person. The Terracotta Army is one of the most impressive things you can ever see and experience, but without Michael's explanations the experience would not have been half as deep. The museum is also worth seeing (and one of the few sightseeing spots in China where you don't have to fight your way through crowds). And the lunch with the freshly prepared noodles tasted good, too. We can only recommend this tour.
