Xian Full-day Terracotta Warrior, City Wall & Evening Food Tour

Experience the perfect blend of history, culture, and local flavors on this full-day Xian tour. Begin with a guided visit to the Terracotta Warriors, exploring all three excavation pits where over eight thousand soldiers, one hundred thirty chariots, and six hundred seventy horses were meticulously crafted by seven hundred thousand workers to protect China’s first emperor in the afterlife. After discovering this vast underground army, enjoy an authentic countryside lunch featuring rural Shaanxi comfort food such as Grandma’s Fried Pancake with smoky chili paste, steamed pork belly coated in toasted rice flour, buckwheat noodles once reserved for emperors, and Jiangshui Yuyu, a tangy noodle dish. The day continues with a visit to Xi’an’s Ancient City Wall, one of the oldest and most complete military defenses in the world. Walk or bike along the top of the wall while taking in views of moats, archer towers, and the city it was built to protect.

The tour concludes with a top-rated evening food tour by tuktuk through the hidden corners of the Muslim Quarter, sampling iconic dishes like hand-pulled Biang Biang noodles in chili oil, BBQ skewers, soup-filled dumplings, and gourd chicken, a centuries-old specialty. End the day with local craft beer at a brewery tucked inside Xian’s city walls. This full-day experience showcases Xian as a city where history and flavor collide, offering an immersive journey through ancient sites, cultural heritage, and the rich culinary traditions that have defined this historic Silk Road city for centuries.
