About this activity

Explore three of Xi'an's most significant cultural landmarks on a private 8.5-hour guided tour: the Hanyangling Museum's terracotta warriors, the iconic Small Goose Pagoda, and the serene Xingjiao Temple. This curated itinerary combines imperial history, Buddhist architecture, and spiritual heritage with personalised attention from a local expert.

Xian is a historical city with many cultural sites to visit. This private day tour will let you visit Hanyang Mausoleum Museum, Small Goose Pagoda, and Xingjiao Temple with a local guide.
Pickup time is 8am from your centrally located Xian hotel.

Highlights

  • Hanyangling Museum – lesser-known terracotta figures from the Han Dynasty (2,000+ years old)
  • Small Goose Pagoda – Tang Dynasty brick structure and active Buddhist temple with city views
  • Xingjiao Temple – sacred Buddhist site with historical significance and peaceful gardens
  • Private guide ensuring flexible pacing and in-depth cultural context
  • Hotel pickup from central Xi'an included

Insider tips

  • Visit Hanyangling early in the tour when you're fresh – the museum's underground galleries benefit from full attention to detail
  • Small Goose Pagoda is less crowded than the famous Big Goose Pagoda; climb the interior stairs for panoramic city views
  • Wear comfortable shoes – expect 2–3 hours of walking across three sites with uneven surfaces

Good to know

  • 8am hotel pickup from centrally located accommodation; confirm pickup location 24 hours in advance
  • Bring water, sun protection, and a light jacket – sites have limited shade and open courtyards
  • Modest dress recommended for temple visits (covered shoulders and knees)
  • Tour duration is 8 hours 30 minutes; plan for a late afternoon return
  • Private tour means flexible itinerary – communicate any accessibility needs or time preferences with your guide
