Description
Early Morning | Hotel Pickup & Train Assistance
Your journey begins before dawn with our seamless door‑to‑door service. Between 5:30 or 6:00 AM, your private Beijing driver will greet you in the hotel lobby (within the 4th Ring Road). Choose the All‑Inclusive option for pre‑booked round‑trip train tickets, or select Ground Service Only if you've already purchased your own tickets for the recommended departures. Your driver doesn't just drop you off—they'll escort you to Beijing West Station and guide you to the correct gate, ensuring a stress‑free start.
Morning | High‑Speed Rail to Xi’an
Settle into your comfortable seat aboard the bullet train (approx. 4.5 hours) and watch the urban skyline give way to the dramatic Loess Plateau. On arrival at Xi’an North Station, your private guide and Xi'an driver will be waiting with a sign bearing your name at B1, Meeting Point 1 (We will send you a meeting point picture one day in advance). The experience begins immediately—feel free to ask anything about the landscape or history during the scenic drive to the museum.
Midday | A Taste of Xi’an (Lunch at Own Expense)
Near the site, your guide will ask about your lunch preference. Lunch is optional and can be enjoyed before or after the Terracotta Army visit. Your guide can take you to a local favourite food hub buzzing with authentic street-food energy. Dive into iconic dishes like hand‑pulled Biangbiang noodles or savoury Roujiamo (Chinese burgers). Lunch is at your own expense, and your guide is always on hand to help with menu translation and ordering.
Afternoon | Exploring the Terracotta Army
Our carefully paced tour ensures you get the most out of this ancient wonder:
Pit 1 – Stand before the vast main infantry formation, an army frozen in time for over 2,000 years.
Pit 3 – Uncover the compact yet vital command post that directed the underground legions.
Pit 2 – Get up close to star exhibits, including the famous Kneeling Archer and the majestic General figure, both exquisitely preserved.
The visit finishes at the Special Exhibition Hall with new discoveries and colorful warrior statues.
Evening | Full‑Circle Return to Beijing
After the tour, your Xi’an driver will transfer you back to Xi’an North Station with ample time for your return train. Arriving at Beijing West Station in the evening, you’ll be met once again by your morning Beijing driver holding your name sign at the meeting point (We will send you a picture one day before), who will escort you directly to your hotel within the 4th Ring Road—closing the loop on a truly door‑to‑door journey. If you chose Ground Service Only, please remember to book your return ticket in advance to align with this pickup schedule.
