Xi’An, the eternal city, records the great changes of the Chinese nation just like a living history book. Called Chang’Aan in ancient times, Xian is one of the birthplaces of the ancient civilization in the Yellow River Basin area of the country. During its 3,100 year development, 13 dynasties such as Western Zhou (11th century BC - 771 BC), Qin (221 BC - 206 BC), Western Han (206 BC - 24 AD) and Tang (618 - 907) placed their capitals here. So far, Xi’An enjoys equal fame with Athens, Cairo, and Rome as one of the four major ancient civilization capitals. The Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses is a sensational archeological find of all times. It was listed by UNESCO as one of the world cultural heritages.

Note: If you need to go to any other cities after the tour instead of Beijing, please contact the local tour operator once you make the booking.

This was the best tour we had in China – perfectly organized and unforgettable. Flying from Beijing to Xi’an was smooth, and visiting the Terracotta Army was simply breathtaking, a true must-see. We learned so much about the history and the city itself, thanks to our excellent guide Jackie who made everything clear and engaging. The whole experience exceeded our expectations and left us deeply impressed. Highly recommended!
