This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: The Museum of Qin Terra-cotta Warriors and Horses, Qinling North Road, Lintong District, Xi'an 710600 China
Your guide will pick you up at your hotel and you will travel together in a comfortable private vehicle to see the The Terracotta Warriors and Horses. During the trip, your guide will explain the city's rich history.
The Terracotta Warriors and Horses are one of the most significant archaeological excavations of the 20th century when they were discovered by local farmers in 1974. The army was built as a form of funerary art and was buried with Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China, in the third century as a mean to protect the emperor in his afterlife.
After visiting the Terracotta Warriors you're free to explore the rest of the museum, which houses other artifacts and showcases films on the mausoleum’s history. At midday, enjoy a traditional Chinese cuisine lunch at Defachang, one of Xian’s most renowned restaurants, and choose from a selection of dumplings and other tasty and authentic regional dishes.
