(The recommended visiting time is 2.5 hours, and the area is mostly flat.) The museum tour includes three original pits: Pit 1: Represents the main combat force. Pit 2: Known as the "Flexible Troupe" (mobile unit). Pit 3: Serves as the command center. Undoubtedly, this is an invaluable resource for exploring the history of China’s first imperial dynasty, the Qin Dynasty.

Activities & Attractions: In the afternoon, vist the City Wall, which is an iconic building in Xi'an City and also a defensive structure of the ancient city. Our tour guide will take you to walk on top of the wall, enjoy the scenery of the city, and understand the historical and cultural significance of the wall(Bicycle rental fee on the City Wall is not included).
Activities & Attractions: The Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, located in the Great Ci'en Temple in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, China, is one of the city's iconic landmarks. Built in 652 AD during the Tang Dynasty, it was constructed to house the Buddhist scriptures, relics, and statues brought back by the famous monk Xuanzang from India. Standing at 64.517 meters tall, the pagoda has a square base and seven stories. Its simple and elegant architecture, with gray bricks forming the structure, showcases the unique style of Tang - Dynasty architecture. Inside the pagoda, there are many cultural relics and inscriptions, which are of great value for studying ancient Buddhist culture and history. As a symbol of the ancient Silk Road and a witness to the cultural exchange between China and India, the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda attracts numerous visitors from home and abroad every year.
