As the ancient capital of China, Xi'an has a rich history that extends well beyond the Terra Cotta Warriors. In the walled city of Xian, tour the doorway to the Silk Road and discover the rich ancient history it has to offer.

The Xian half day city tour begins at the doors at your hotel, where you will be picked up and transported by an air-conditioned coach service to the Shaanxi History Museum. Shaanxi is the province that houses Xi'an, and the museum provides a wealth of incredible information on the history of the well-protected, rich ancient city. Your professional guide will enrich you with Xian's history from Qin Shihuang all the way to the present day. Afterward, you will travel to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda to tour a major symbol of the city. The Tang-era Buddhist pagoda features a massive, seven-story pyramid that is sure to drop your mouth to the floor. Once you have visited the pagoda, if time allows, your guide will lead you through the pedestrian streets of Xi'an to sample the local cuisine Xi'an is famous for at your own expense.

The Xi'an half day tour is the perfect complement to the Terra Cotta Warriors tour if you are pressed for time. You will experience the best of Xi'an sightseeing and tour the ancient city in just half a day before being dropped back off at your hotel as a satisfied visitor.
