Itinerary

Welcome to Xi'an, the traditional starting point of the Silk Road. This old walled city, the capital of Shaanxi Province, is a vivid example of old and new China as the modernised new city bustles around the quaint, winding lanes of the Old Quarter. This morning you will be met by a driver at either the train station or airport (depending upon your arrival transport) and transferred to our well-located Xi'an hotel to freshen up. The rest of the day we will tour the sights in Xi'an with a local guide. The Wild Goose Pagoda is a classic example of Chinese temple architecture. Built in 652 AD it houses Buddhist Scriptures brought back from India along the Silk Road. The Shaanxi History Museum, built in huge classical-Chinese style, houses a collection of chronologically arranged items and includes material previously housed in the Provincial Museum, with many objects that have never been on permanent display before The Muslim quarter of Xi'an provides a different feel to the city with its elaborate markets and the Great Mosque. Overnight: Grand Noble Hotel or similar

Meals: L,D

This morning we will drive out to the site where in 1974 local farmers discovered the tomb of Qin Shihuang with its army of warriors. Excavation of the area continues and we will be able to see this amazing sight in the many stages of pain staking reconstruction work of archaeologists. Each warrior stands over 6 feet tall and has different features and characteristics. Some stand in a vanguard with crossbow and longbow bearers; others hold spears, daggers and axes at the ready. They are accompanied by dozens of horse-drawn carriages and enormous terracotta horses. The sight of the warriors arising from their muddy grave, some intact, others still submerged in the ground, is an extraordinary one. Our local guide will be on hand to escort you and provide further information on this site. Overnight: Grand Noble Hotel or similar

Thank you very much for what was an absolutely fabulous holiday in China. The first trip we did (bike ride) was excellent, but the extension was also fantastic. Everything went to plan. Our guides, and drivers, in Shanghai, Xi’an and Beijing were excellent, knowledgeable and always on time.
