About this activity

Fly from Shenzhen to Xi'an for an expertly guided whistle-stop tour of China's ancient capital, covering the world-renowned Terracotta Army, the atmospheric Muslim Quarter, and a 600-year-old city wall—all in a single day with air transfers included.

Get to the Shenzhen airport by your own, and catch your flight to Xian in the morning. Specific flight timing will be informed after your booking.
Upon arrival in Xian, you will be met by a guide at the airport and you will go directly to visit the Terracotta Warriors Museum. Your guide will narrate your tour of the life-size terracotta figures of warriors and horses arranged in battle formations.
You will then be transferred to the Muslim Quarter after a quick lunch. It's a main street with a few intersecting roads that has become a famous attraction of Xian for its Muslim cultural atmosphere.
Finally you will explore the Old City Wall. Built about 600 years ago, it is one of the oldest, largest and best-preserved Chinese city walls.
You will then be transported back to the Xian airport to catch your flight back to Shenzhen where this day tour concludes.
