Stop At: Shaanxi History Museum, 91 Xiaozai E Rd, Xi'an 710061 China

Shaanxi Provincial Museum, was completed and opened to the public in June of 1991. As the capital of 13 imperial dynasties in Chinese history, Xi'an is endowed with rich treasures in both culture and substance. Thanks to that, Shaanxi History Museum, the first large-scaled modern national museum of China, got the chance to preserve a great number of the historic and cultural relics.

Stop At: Xi'an City Wall (Chengqiang), Zhongxin District, Xi'an 710001 China

At the age when the city gates were the only entrances of a city, city walls were undoubtedly the crucial defense points that feudalistic rulers focused on. Therefore, city walls were constructed nationally when the emperor unified the country. The circumvallation in Xi'an today was one of the achievements, which was built and expanded on the former imperial city of Tang Dynasty (618-907).

Stop At: Muslim Quarter, West of Bell Drum Towers Square , Beilin District, Xi'an 710000 China

Like visiting any historical sites, an experience and interesting guide makes the difference, and we were fortunate to have Helen.

It was 2012 when we visited the Terracotta first time by ourselves and this year is different with a tour guide. Lots of information and we were lucky to see the founder of the site. A lot more people this time and difficult to enjoy more time as we would like to. The small pagoda was very interesting and well worth to visit with less people AND FREE!

We were really looking forward to seeing the Terracotta Warriors and this private tour didn't disappoint. Thankfully it wasn't full of other tourists so we had an awesome time. Loved the Xi'an City highlights as well and plenty of history was discovered.

This is a must for a China tour. It is awesome in size and spectacle. There is something spiritual about the place as you marvel at the rows upon rows of clay soldiers and the human endeavour and sacrifices made to build and the conceal this mausoleum for it only to be discovered at the bottom of a well in 1974! Truly remarkable The main hanger is heaving and there is quite a crush to get to the front to get a could picture from the front. Not for the feint hearted and tolerated being tall and a bigger build

Sadly there is a reason there are only 2 reviews posted and our review matches the previous one. We had no contact from the company guide right up until the morning we were supposed to leave, in fact we had to get our hotel to call on our behalf as they had not contacted us. The guide was then 20 mins late and when we eventually found him (after the hotel called the company again) he tried to blame us (3 British sitting in a lobby full of Chinese are not hard to spot!) We then set out only to find out all we had paid for was a driver to take us there and back and for him to show us around the museum. Sadly my daughter was more knowledgeable on the history of the warriors so we did feel quite disappointed. We asked him lots of questions which he seemed to deflect and we felt he was really just there to show us where to go from one point to the next. Jerry was a nice guy and was very apologetic about the confusion that we had to buy tickets etc., as extra but at one point he stopped the car and said we could leave if we wanted to. Again a very unprofessional approach. We were shown all the tourist stores for jade, tea etc., and it felt very hard sale and off putting. To be honest, you don’t need to do this trip with a car and driver. You can get a taxi there, buy your tickets and walk around yourself as it’s all very self explanatory and they offer excellent audio guides or booklets. Very easy to get taxis back into the city after and then you can avoid being shuttled around all the shops after and rushed around the warrior pits.
