📌 Product Overview

This private Xi’an day tour is designed for travelers who want the Terracotta Warriors and a memorable evening performance in one complete day.

Start with the Terracotta Warriors Museum, then continue to Lishan Garden / Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum Site Park for a deeper understanding of the First Emperor’s mausoleum area.
