Day 1 (Beijing - Xi'an)
You are picked up from your hotel or residence in downtown Beijing and transferred to railway station for high speed train to Xi’an (2nd class seats).
Based in Shaanxi Province, Xi’an is considered to have played a decisive role in the history of China. Previously the administrative hub of the ancient Silk Road, it was once the world’s most populous city.
Upon arrival, your Xi’an guide will meet you and take you directly for a city tour. Your first stop is Xi’an Museum, which is located by Small Wild Goose Pagoda and covers an area of 245 hectares. It was officially opened to the public in May 2007 and collectively reflects the long history of Xi’an city.
You will then move on to the old town, passing by the Ming City Wall, which dates back to the 7th century and is one of the oldest fortified walls in China. You will take a stroll along the bustling Muslim Street and experience its colorful stalls and cuisine.

Day 2 (Xi'an - Beijing)
This morning, you will check out hotel and depart for visit to the Eighth Wonder of the World – The Terracotta Warriors and Horses.
For 2200 years, the Xi’an terracotta warriors silently guarded the tomb of Qin Shihuang, first Emperor of China. These life-size figures were uncovered by accident when peasants digging a well in 1974. It then became the major archaeological discovery of the 20th century. And Xi’an, a dusty industrial city in the province of Shaanxi, suddenly became one of the world’s premier tourist attractions.
Your lunch will be arranged at the museum restaurant before heading to railway station for your high speed train back to Beijing.
