Terracotta Army and Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum + Huaqing Palace (If you choose not to visit Huaqing Palace, you can also choose to replace it with a city attraction: Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Xi'an City Wall, Muslim Quarter)
English-language group tour itinerary:
Terracotta Army and Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum + Huaqing Palace (Huaqing Palace included, attractions cannot be substituted)
Departing from the city center early in the morning, your driver and guide will pick you up on time and take you directly to the core area of the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum Museum, trying to avoid peak tourist seasons. Your guide will accompany you throughout your in-depth exploration of the three terracotta army pits: in Pit 1, stand before the thousands of uniquely styled terracotta warriors, witnessing the grandeur of the Qin Empire; in Pit 2, the still-unexcavated painted terracotta pits allow you to closely observe the details of the cavalry, crossbowmen, and other military figures, feeling the vibrant life of this "underground army"; finally, in Pit 3, before the layout of the ancient military command system, listen to the wisdom of the Qin army in troop deployment.
In the afternoon, we moved to Huaqing Palace.(If you book a private tour and choose not to visit Huaqing Palace, you can replace it with one city attraction: Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Xi'an City Wall, and Muslim Quarter; the itinerary for English-speaking group tours is fixed and cannot be changed.)Stroll through the hot spring palace where Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and Consort Yang Guifei once lived, walk across the ripples of Jiulong Lake, explore the ruins of the Tang imperial hot springs (Haitang Hot Spring and Xingchen Hot Spring), climb Mount Li to overlook the panoramic view of Lintong, and immerse yourself in the lingering charm of the Tang Dynasty amidst the blend of history and nature.
After the tour, the driver will safely take you back to Xi'an city (private tours will be taken back to the hotel, and English-speaking group tours will be disbanded at a designated location in the city).
