Full Day Terracotta Warriors And Xi'an Markets

Take a bite out of Xi’an with this fascinating tour that takes in commercial hot spots and reveals culinary secrets and the legends of the past. In the morning, join a friendly local guide and travel to one of Xian’s busy markets. Spend some time here seeing what locals stock up on each day and learning about some of the key ingredients used in Chinese cooking. While here, why not take the chance to shop for some tasty local snacks to eat later in the day? Or start the day with a traditional Xi'an breakfast? Try fresh soy milk, pancakes or steamed buns.

Next, travel to the site of the famous Terracotta Warriors - one of the greatest archaeological finds of the past century and the pride of Xi’an. Marvel at the burial pits filled with life-sized chariots, horses and warriors, all buried to ensure the emperor had safe passage to the afterlife. Wander this vast mausoleum, take photos and learn about the historical significance of this remarkable site.

We’ll then travel to the nearby village of Lintong, where we’ll feast on a flavoursome lunch of local specialties. Choose from regional dishes such as roujiamo or soup noodles then finish the tour back in central Xi’an where the afternoon is free to further explore the city independently.
