Activity itinerary

Day 1: Xi'an Arrival / Han Dynasty Culture Discovery

1 stop
Meals: Not included
Accommodation: Hotel options: Grand Noble Hotel Xi'an Wyndham Grand Xian South

Xi'an

When you arrive in Xi'an, your private guide and driver will accompany you to the Hanyang Tomb, which is near the airport. It is listed as one of the top 10 things to do in Xi'an on TripAdvisor. It is Emperor Jingdi's mausoleum. His son, Wudi, established the Silk Road in 138 BC. After the war-torn years of the Qin Dynasty, the Han Dynasty had its own cultural characteristics. Discover the reasons for it reaching its peak at that time. This attraction has fewer tourists and you'll see lots of small clay warriors displayed under a glass walkway. Very different to the serious faces of the warriors in the Terracotta Army, these warriors have mysterious smiles on their faces. The walkway provides a wonderful insight into how they were built. Afterwards, you'll be driven back to your hotel and you can enjoy some free time for the evening. If you arrive at night, we can arrange for you to visit the Hanyang Tomb on the last day as it's in the same direction as the airport.
