Attractions: The Museum of Qin Terra-cotta Warriors and Horses, Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Shaanxi History Museum

Meal: Not included

Hotel: Overnight in Xi’an

Your first stop in today’s tour is the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum. The countless numbers of terracotta figurines and horses have been painstakingly painted. The colour of the faces, hands and feet of the terracotta figurines is pink, showing the texture of the muscles. The colouring of the face is especially wonderful. Even the pupils of the eyes are painted vividly.

Then, come to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda which has been included in the World Heritage List in 2014. It is typical evidence of Indian Buddhist temple buildings such as pagoda blend into Central Plains and Huaxia culture. It is the integration of the ancient Chinese working people's wisdom of the crystallisation of the landmark building.

Near the Pagoda is the Shaanxi Province History Museum. The appearance of the building of the Shaanxi History Museum deliberately highlights the elegance of the Tang Dynasty. Chang'an has been the capital of emperors and kings since ancient times, and has been the capital of thirteen feudal dynasties such as the Zhou, the Qin, the Han, the Sui, and the Tang Dynasties, etc, which has a wealth of cultural relics above and below the ground, forming a unique historical and cultural landscape in Shaanxi.
