The guide and driver take the group on a one-hour bus ride to the Terracotta Army Museum. Visitors spend two and a half hours exploring three burial pits containing over 8,000 pottery soldiers, horses, and chariots, as well as a special exhibition hall displaying artifacts related to the First Emperor of China. After the museum visit, a Chinese buffet lunch with soft drinks is provided; halal and baby food are not available. After lunch, the group returns to downtown Xi'an by bus to visit the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, an important site connected to the spread of Indian Buddhism along the ancient Silk Road. This visit lasts about two hours. Next, the group walks along the 600-year-old ancient City Wall for about three hours, observing the mix of historic and modern city views. Bicycle rental on the City Wall is available at the guest’s own expense. The tour concludes with a short stop at the Muslim Bazaar, a busy food market in the city center. Guests who wish to explore dinner and the evening atmosphere further can leave the tour at this point and make their own way back, while the rest are escorted to their hotels. The tour includes entrance fees to the Terracotta Army Museum, Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and City Wall (when selected), bottled water with unlimited supply, a professional English-speaking guide, headset for commentary, and transportation. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included for downtown hotels if that option is chosen.
