Daily Itinerary
Arrive in Xi'an, meet the airport or railway-station transfer and check in at the hotel. Keep the rest of day 1 light after the journey, because the first full outing is Xi'an, Hukou Waterfall and Hancheng Ancient City.
Make an early start from Xi'an for Hukou Waterfall on the Yellow River, then continue to Hancheng Ancient City before returning to Xi'an. The road journey occupies much of the day, so expect an early departure and a late arrival back at the hotel.
Visit the Terracotta Warriors and allow ample time for the main excavation pits and museum displays. Continue with the arranged rubbing activity, then return to Xi'an for the evening performance if it is included for the selected departure.
Explore Xi'an Museum before continuing to the Bell and Drum Tower area and the lanes of the Muslim Quarter. Later, see one of the city's historic pagodas and the illuminated architecture around Datang Everbright City.
Keep the final hours in Xi'an flexible for check-out, luggage and the terminal transfer. The trip ends after Xi'an Museum, Bell and Drum Towers and Muslim Quarter, with a traffic buffer around the booked flight or train.
