Today's excursion will take you to modern China's greatest archaeological discovery - The Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses, which silently guarded the tomb of China's First Emperor for more than 2,200 years. In 1974, a local farmer uncovered the first of three massive earth and timber vaults while digging a well. The extensive excavation, still in progress, has yielded more than 8,000 life-sized Terra Cotta warriors, each individually sculpted with the physical characteristics of the humans they were modeled after. Archers, infantrymen, and horses, but it's only a fraction of the total buried there to protect the tomb of the first Qin emperor.

In the afternoon, tour The Wild Goose Pagoda, a Tang Dynasty landmark. This seven-story pagoda was initially constructed in 652 A.D to house the Buddhist sutras brought back from India by the monk, Xuan Zang, who later translated them into Chinese. His pilgrimage to India is immortalized in the Chinese classic - The Journey to the West.

The optional evening tour of Tang Dynasty Pedestrian Street will give you another perspective to fall in love with this city. It is the only one in the country with the flourishing Tang culture as the background of large-scale imitation Tang architectural complex pedestrian street, as a local landmark scenic spot.

This morning, you will visit the City Wall, the best-preserved city defense system in China. Time to take a leisure walk or bike along the ancient city wall for impressive views of the old and new city. See you off in Xi’an airport or train station. Whether you are taking the high-speed rail or taking a plane to leave Xi’an, your guide and driver will take you to the station or the airport.
