Xi'an City Wall (Chengqiang)
Your guide and driver will pick you up from your Xi’an downtown hotel at your selected time, 8:30 in the morning or 1:30 in the afternoon. Please choose your preferred starting time when you make the booking. You will first visit the ancient City Wall. It is the most complete city wall existing in China. Walking on the wall, you may see the modern Xi’an outside the wall and the old Xi’an inside. If you are daring, try a bicycle ride on the bumping wall.
Big Wild Goose Pagoda (Dayanta)
After that your tour guide will transfer you to visit the Big Wild Goose Pagoda standing in the Da Ci'en Temple complex. The pagoda used to hold the old Buddhist relics and classics taken from India by the hierarch Xuanzang. If you are lucky, you may catch a fantastic musical fountain show at the north square of the temple. Many entertainment and relaxation facilities surround the temple, so you may also enjoy yourself a bit or buy a nice souvenir to take back home. At last, you will be transferred back to your hotel to conclude the tour.
