Fly to Xian in Early Morning/Take an Early Train to Xian
You will take a morning flight at 7 am from Beijing and arrive in Xian in just two hours. Or, you can also take an early bullet train at 6:20 am and arrive by 11 am. Either is convenient, but flying will give you two extra hours in Xian.
Upon arriving at Xian Airport or Train Station, your English-speaking guide and driver will meet you at the exit. From there, we will drive about an hour outside the city to visit the iconic Terracotta Warriors.
The Eternal Romance of the Terracotta Warriors
"Qin Shi Huang drank mercury, thinking it would give him eternal life."
- BBC, April 12, 2017
A group of peasants uncovered some pottery while digging for a well nearby the royal tomb in 1974. Lifesize terracotta figures of warriors and horses arranged in battle formations are the star features at the museum. They are replicas of what the imperial guard should look like in those days of pomp and vigor.
After pausing for lunch at a nearby restaurant, we’ll continue the drive back to Xian. Once we’re back in Xian, you’ll get a chance to walk or take a bike ride around Xian's still functioning City Wall if you fly to Xian in the morning. Xian is one of the few Chinese cities that still has its city wall intact.
Following your visit to the City Wall, you’ll be taken to the Xian train station to go back to Beijing.
