The One-day Tour to Terracotta Army and City Wall from Xi'an introduces you to two of the city's most famous landmarks. The Terracotta Army needs little introduction – an archaeological discovery so significant it reshaped our understanding of ancient China. Standing before thousands of life-sized warriors, horses, and chariots, you get a real sense of the power behind China's first emperor and the craftsmanship of the Qin Dynasty.
From there, the tour continues with a walk along the Ancient City Wall of Xi'an, the oldest and best-preserved city wall in China, with broad views over both the historic centre and the modern city beyond.
Perfect for travellers who want to cover Xi'an's highlights without spreading them across multiple days, the One-day Tour to Terracotta Army and City Wall from Xi'an packs it all into a single, well-organised day.
