What To Expect

The Museum of Qin Terra-cotta Warriors and Horses

The Terracotta Warriors are considered as one of the eighth wonder in the world. Since their discovery in 1974, more than 8,000 soldiers, 670 horses, and 130 chariots have been unearthed. Each warrior is unique, with distinct facial features and heights, though the average height is 6 feet (1.85 meters). Now there are total 3 pits covering over 22,000 square metres where all these warriors are buried and 1 hall for the bronze chariots and horses.

Big Wild Goose Pagoda (Dayanta)

The Big Wild Goose Pagoda was built in 652AD. It was built to store the scriptures and statues Master Xuanzang had brought back from India. You will have an acquaintance with the Buddhist temple in China and the pagoda, and get to know how did the Buddhism come to China in the history. If you like, you may ascend to the top of the ancient wooden-and-brick pagoda and have a bird’s eye view of the cityscape around. Music fountain show in the the North Square is quite amazing, considered as the largest music fountain in Asia. It is nice to stroll around both north and south square of the pagoda, view the beautiful garden and local people dancing in the square sometimes.

This was our second visit to Xi’an. Cindy was our guide in Xi'an and I cannot speak highly enough of her! She organised transport for us and gave us suggestions of places to visit and eat while we were not with her. Cindy was very accommodating, even finding me a local laundry and picking up my clean clothes at the end of the day! She was flexible and keen to please, very knowledgeable about Xi'an and happy to share much of her knowledge with us. She is a great guide and I wish her every success!
