The Museum of Qin Terra-cotta Warriors and Horses
Meet your tour guide at the Museum. Once at the museum, which is divided into three main sections: No.1 Pit, No.2 Pit, and No.3 Pit. The original site was discovered by four local farmers in 1974 while they were drilling a well. Since then, it has become one of the most significant attractions not only in Xi'an but around the world. As you stroll through the museum, your tour guide will be there to answer all your questions and provide you with rich historical and cultural insights. If time permits after the museum visit, your tour guide will take you to a local eatery where you can savor authentic Xi'an cuisine. Do note that the cost of lunch is at your own expense. After the tour, you will be transferred to the railway station to take the train back to Beijing. Our driver in Beijing will pick you up from the station and transfer you back to your hotel in Beijing, ensuring a seamless end to your wonderful trip.

The tour was fantastic, both the drivers and the guide. The guide gave a detailed explanation to the sites and the history of Xian. After pointing out the most important details he also talked about lesser known details and sites related the different dynasties. But not to take away from the drivers, Sun in particular was helpful and outgoing to offer help. It can be confusing to go through a foreign country and railway system without knowing the local language but Sun gave a detailed explanation and was always punctual. A perfect experience I will recommend to anyone that can’t stay in Xian.
