Xi'an City Wall

In the morning, we will drive to Xi'an City Wall to explore this ancient structure that was built during the Ming Dynasty over 600 years ago. It is an impressive 14 kilometers long and is considered the best-preserved and longest city wall in China. The top of the wall is 12-14 meters wide, while the bottom is 15-18 meters wide, and it stands at a height of 12 meters.

The Museum of Qin Terra-cotta Warriors and Horses

After visiting the City Wall, we will drive to the world-renowned Terracotta Warriors museum, where you can witness over 8,000 life-sized Terracotta Warriors and pottery horses that were unearthed from three burial pits. The underground army was buried to protect the first Chinese emperor in the afterlife. Interestingly, there are no historical records of the Terracotta Warriors army until 1974 when a local farmer discovered them while digging a well. This remarkable discovery has been hailed as the eighth wonder of the world.

Chengdu

After visiting the Terracotta Warriors museum, we will drive you directly to the Xi'an bullet train station to catch the train to Chengdu, which will take about 4 hours. The train ride will take you through the scenic Qinling Mountains, offering breathtaking views of the landscape. Upon arrival at Chengdu station, our local tour guide and driver will be waiting to greet you at the exit. From there, we will head to a restaurant to enjoy the famous Sichuan hot pot for dinner. If you prefer non-spicy food, we can choose a milder version of the hot pot. After dinner, we will drive you to your included 4-star hotel for check-in, where you can relax and rest for the night. The following morning, a delicious buffet breakfast will be included at the hotel.

Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding

In the early morning, we will visit the famous Panda Breeding Center in Chengdu. This center is home to over 60 pandas, including adorable newborns. Pandas are most active in the morning, so we will have the chance to see them munching on bamboo for breakfast, as well as watching the playful baby pandas fight and play with each other. This will be a memorable experience, and you can take some interesting pictures of these lovely creatures.

Wenshu Yuan Monastery

After finishing the visit to the Panda Breeding Center, we will head to the Wenshu Temple, the oldest temple in Chengdu dating back to the Sui Dynasty 1400 years ago. Here, we will have a tea tasting experience to relax and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the temple. Chengdu is known for its slow-paced lifestyle and being a paradise for delicious food, particularly Sichuan cuisine. For lunch, we will take you to a local popular restaurant to try some of the famous Sichuan dishes. After lunch, we can drop you off at your own booked hotel in downtown Chengdu, or at the airport or train station according to your preference.
