Itinerary

Day 1 Arrive in Xi'an

Arrive in Xi’an, one of China’s former capitals and one of the few cities in China to have retained its city walls; probably because they are so big that no revolutionary was willing to tackle the huge task of removing them. After your transfer to the hotel in Xian the afternoon is free. It is possible to hire bikes (optional) and cycle on the city walls to appreciate the sheer scale. Accommodation: Skytel Hotel/Bell Tower Hotel Xi’an (or similar)

Day 2 Xi’an city tour; free time in the afternoon

We take a guided tour of the city with the Bell and Drum Plaza at its heart, along with the Great Mosque. The Muslim quarter is a fascinating place to visit, especially in the evening as it comes alive with the bustle of the bazaars and food stalls. Accommodation: Skytel Hotel/Bell Tower Hotel Xi’an (or similar)

Day 3 Terracotta Warriors; free time in the afternoon

Today we visit the famous mausoleum of Emperor Qin with its staggering display of Terracotta Warriors. His tomb lies covered by a grassy mound amidst green fields. Originally four armies were planned, at each point of the compass, life-size and lifelike. Three have been found and it is assumed the emperor’s successors decided enough was enough before the fourth was begun. The first pit excavated had an estimated 6,000 figures in one army. The third pit has been opened to the public, which contains the ‘command post’ for the entire operation. This is one of China’s greatest tourist attractions, and some people may find the sheer numbers of visitors rather overpowering. Upon your return to Xian the afternoon is free. It is possible to hire bikes (optional) and cycle on the city walls to appreciate the sheer scale. Accommodation: Skytel Hotel/Bell Tower Hotel Xi’an (or similar)

Day 4 High-speed train to Beijing

Depart Xi’an and take a high-speed train (about four hours) to Beijing.
