Welcome to Xi'an. Our guide will meet you at your hotel or the airport/train station, and then take you to begin this cultural and historical journey through Xi'an. First, you will visit the historic Xi'an Ancient City Wall. [Xi'an Ancient City Wall] was first built in the Ming Dynasty, also known as the Xi'an Ming City Wall. It is one of the largest and best-preserved ancient city walls in China. You can climb onto the wall, walk on the historic blue bricks, and feel the charm of the ancient city wall, or ride a bicycle to tour it and enjoy the superb scenery formed by the ancient city wall and the modern city together. Afterwards, you will go to the famous Xi'an food culture street - [Muslim Quarter], to experience the local living atmosphere while tasting local specialty snacks. In addition, the [Great Mosque in Huajue Lane] near the Muslim Quarter is also well worth a visit. It is an Islamic mosque formed by a typical Chinese architectural style combined with Islamic architectural features, and is very distinctive. Then you will continue to visit Xi'an's famous cultural landmark - Giant Wild Goose Pagoda. [Giant Wild Goose Pagoda] is located inside Daci'en Temple and is the earliest existing and largest Tang Dynasty square pavilion-style brick pagoda, with seven stories and a height of about 64 meters. Here you can admire the ancient architectural style, view the scriptures and Buddha statues brought back from Tianzhu by Master Xuanzang that are collected in the pagoda, and also climb this thousand-year-old pagoda to look out over the city scenery of Xi'an. In addition, if interested, you can also wear Hanfu and take photos with the antique pagoda, leaving beautiful travel moments. In the evening, you will go to the brilliant and popular [Grand Tang Mall], a large pedestrian street of Tang-style architecture complexes set against the culture of the High Tang. Here you can check in at phenomenal cultural IPs such as the "Tumbler Lady," the "Li Bai" who matches poems for roujiamo, the "Fang Xuanling" and "Du Ruhui" of the Tang Dynasty Mystery Box, the "Stone Man," and "Dunhuang Flying Apsaras," and you can also wander among the bustling streets and alleys, enjoying the elegance of Chang'an in its former prosperity.

After breakfast, you will drive about 40 minutes to visit the Terracotta Army, one of the "Eighth Wonders of the World."
