breakfast.
We'll then drive an hour outside the city to see Xian’s greatest attraction, and one of the greatest sites in all of China, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum. The
Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses Museum is the result of the most significant archeological excavations of the 20th century. Work is ongoing at this site, which is around 1.5 kilometers east of Emperor Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum. Upon ascending the throne at the age of 13 (in 246 BC), Qin Shi Huang, later the first Emperor of all China, had begun to work for his mausoleum. It took 11 years to finish. It is speculated that many buried treasures and sacrificial objects had accompanied the emperor in his after life. A group of peasants uncovered some pottery while digging for a well nearby the royal tomb in 1974. Life size terracotta figures of warriors and horses arranged in battle formations are the star features at the museum. They are replicas of what the imperial guard should look like in those days of pomp and vigor.
 Following a Chinese lunch will drive back to the city for more of your Xian tour. Will first go to the the
Big Wild Goose Pagoda, a pagoda surrounded by a still functioning Buddhist temple (named Da Ci’en Temple). The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is one of the most famous Buddhist pagodas in China. The Pagoda was built in the Tang Dynasty (618-907) for the study of Buddhist scriptures. Although it has been attacked by centuries of weather, war and seismic activity, which destroyed most of the original material of the structure, a pagoda by this name and style still exists on the site.
You'll then get a chance to walk or take a bike ride around Xian's still functioning
City Wall. Xian is one of the few Chinese cities that still has its city wall intact. Xian has one of the largest Chinese Muslims populations, and we’ll cap off your time in Xian with a walk through the Muslim Quarter. Near Xian's
historic Drum and Bell Towers is the famous Muslim Quarter in Xi’an. Here you can find many Muslim restaurants and food stands, and shops selling traditional handicrafts. Almost all the local food and snacks are also available at the Muslim Quarter.
For dinner, you will enjoy a splendid dumpling banquet of all shapes and sizes in downtown Xian, and afterwards you will be taken to the train station where you will make the ride back to Beijing. You will have a soft sleeper room
with choice of shared cabine or luxury cabin. |
