Private Half-Day Terracotta Warriors Tour from Xi'an

Your private driver picks you up from your hotel (or station/airport at extra cost). During the hour-long drive, your guide will tell you about the history of Qin Shi Huang and the 1974 discovery that astonished the world.

With priority access, you enter directly into Moat 1, where thousands of warriors in formation escort chariots. Continue to Pits 2 and 3 to see kneeling archers, command units and the famous bronze horses in the exhibition gallery. The guide points out polychrome techniques, military hierarchies and the unique facial differences of each figure.

To complete the experience, there are two options to choose from:

• Morning option: private transfer, skip-the-line entry, full guided tour of the three moats and Qin-themed lunch at a local restaurant (biangbiang noodles, cumin lamb, agripicante soup). Return to the hotel in the early afternoon.
• Evening option: private transfer, skip-the-line entrance, guided tour of the three moats and, at the end, dinner-banquet of sixteen handmade dumplings followed by Tang Dynasty music and dance show in standard stalls. Return to the hotel around 9.30pm.
