Two Day Luxury Tour

This is fit for those tourists who want to explore Xian from a local's perspective. Both the real historical interests and the market which local like are included in the tour.

You can see the Great Mosque which is very different from Arabic mosques and stroll along the main street of the Islam quarter, also, you can see the most spectacular site of the Terra Cotta Army and Horses Museum, and the ancient city wall.

The Great Mosque

The Great mosque is close to the Islamic street, in the HuaJue lane. It was built a long time ago as well, dating back to 1,200 years ago in the Tang dynasty. In the Ming dynasty, the emperors asked to repair it. Now it is the biggest mosque for the Muslims in Xi'an. You can see the buildings of Chinese traditional style with long and bent eaves, and the old furniture which was used by the people in the Qing dynasty-300 years ago. The whole mosque looks like a traditional garden, however, it is a really an Islamic mosque that is still used by the Muslims today.

The Muslim Quarter (Night market)

The ethnic minority groups Hui live in the Muslim Quarter. All the Hui people who take up 1% of the population in Xi'an believe Islam. They open many restaurants in their area, becoming one of the most popular local places in Xi'an. Since the area has been in existence for more than 1,200 years, it is a cultural place of the old city. Every night after 8:00pm, the night market for food begins, and you can experience how people live in Xi'an.

The Terra Cotta Army and Horses museum

The Terry Cotta Army and Horses is one of the most spectacular things in Xi'an. It is one of the burial pits belonging to the mausoleum of the first emperor of the Qin dynasty, Qinshihuang. You can not find a place anywhere else like this where so many soldiers have been standing here and waiting for you for such a long time. The museum has built several modern buildings in which contain the excavation work sites. Three pits have been discovered. They were named pit one, pit two and pit three by order of discovery. In pit one, you can see the main part of the army, although most part of the pit is still underground. In pit two and pit three, you can find the other parts of the whole underground army. All of the Terra-cotta Warriors are believed to represent the real Qin army soldiers. Each one is different, having varied facial expressions, even the hair and moustache styles. The works of Terra-cotta Warriors are nearly as tall as a nreal person, between1.78m to 1.97m, and different weights and sizes.

City wall

This ancient city wall which was built in 1370 to 1378 still encircles the old city today. It is 13.7 kilometres long with 17 gates on the wall. Xi'an city wall is the most complete city wall in the world. We built it as a defence in ancient times and the city wall has remained standing through three wars. Since the top of the city wall is 12 metres wide, you can ride a bicycle on the wall if you have enough time and the weather is nice. It will take you about 1.5 hours to complete whole circle and you can see the old city from different part of the city.
