As you walk the museum, your guide will tell you stories about this culturally-rich venue. Learn about how the emperor at the time had these vessels buried underground for years.

After your tour of the Terracotta Warriors Museum, you will be brought to the Muslim Quarter, along with the snack street area. See how the Muslim cultured has had quite the influence on Xi'an. Wander around the old city wall, that was built about 600 years ago, yet remains in good condition. Transfer back to the Xi'an airport after your tour to catch your flight back to Beijing.
