4-Day Mt Hua, Terracotta Warriors Museum, and Big Wild Goose Pagoda Tour

You will be met by your tour guide at the airport and transferred to your hotel by a private car and driver. Your guide will be happy to give you a general introduction to the ancient city.

Hotel options:
4-star: Grand Noble Hotel Xi'an (superior class)
5-star: Wyndham Grand Xi'an South (superior room)

After one hour's drive from the city center, you will arrive at the Terracotta Warriors Museum. Discovered accidentally in 1974, the repairs and excavations still continue in the three pits, where over 7,000 soldiers, horses, chariots, and archers stand in full battle array. There is also a circular-screen short film that describes its historical background and how it was discovered.

In the afternoon, visit the ancient city wall that has been guarding the inner city for 600 years. Biking along the wall provides a good view of the city.

After about 2½ hours' drive from the city, you will arrive at Mt Hua, which is one of the Five Great Mountains in China, and was once called the West Mountain in ancient times. It is known for being one of the most precipitous mountains in China, and a variety of temples and other religious structures nestle on its ridges and peaks.

The mountain has five summits: South Peak, which is 2,160.5 meters above sea level, East Peak, which is the best place for watching a sunrise, West Peak or Lotus Flower Peak, North Peak, and Middle Peak.

We will arrange a round-trip cable car for you to get up and down the mountain, and enjoy the scenery along the way. Walking on the cliffside narrow plank at South Peak is a challenge for thrill seekers.

About the Cable Car on Mount Hua

The cable car on North Peak is 1,550 meters long while the one on West Peak is 4,211 meters in length. We recommend that people suffering from acrophobia do not take the cable car.

The Small Goose Pagoda was built during the Tang Dynasty and stands at 43 meters tall. The pagoda is part of the Jianfu Temple complex and is known for its intricate architecture. You will have chance to ring the bell for blessings and good luck.

Nearby, the Xi'an Museum showcases Xi'an's rich history. The museum's collections include items from various dynasties, such as pottery, calligraphy, paintings, and sculptures.

As this tour of Xi'an comes to an end, you will be transferred to the airport for your departure flight. Your tour guide will accompany you from the check-in desk to the security gate before waving goodbye.
