About this activity

Maximize your time with a full-day private excursion from Beijing to Xi'an via bullet train and return flight, combining two of China's most iconic archaeological and historical sites. This 17-hour itinerary lets you experience the Terracotta Warriors, ancient city walls, and vibrant street food culture without the logistics headache.

At 5 am, you will be transferred from your centrally located Beijing hotel to catch 5-hour bullet train from Beijing to Xian.
Upon arrival at Xian, your guide will meet you and transfer you from Xian North Station to visit the eighth wonder, Terracotta Warriors Museum. There are 3 pits exhibiting about 7000 warriors and horses, and you will learn the history from an experienced local guide.
