From Beijing: Xi'an Terracotta Army Private Day Tour by Bullet Train

Leave your Beijing hotel
and ride the bullet train to Xi'an

Your dedicated driver meets you in your hotel lobby within the 4th Ring Road between 5:30 and 6:00 AM, takes you to Beijing West Railway Station and guides you to the correct gate. The all-inclusive option includes pre-booked round-trip second-class bullet train tickets; with the ground-only option, buy tickets for the recommended departure time yourself.

After about 4.5 hours on the bullet train you arrive at Xi'an North Station. Your private guide and Xi'an driver wait at B1, Meeting Point 1, holding a sign with your name, and a photo of the meeting point is sent the day before.

Enjoy local Xi'an food for lunch

You can have lunch before or after visiting the Terracotta Army if you wish. Your guide takes you to a food hub popular with locals and helps translate the menu and order signature dishes such as biangbiang noodles or roujiamo (Chinese burger). Lunch is at your own expense.

Skip the line and explore Pits 1, 2 and 3

Enter the Terracotta Army Museum without the long wait and spend about 2.5 hours touring with your guide. In Pit 1, stand before the massive infantry formation preserved for more than 2,000 years, and in Pit 3 discover the command post that directed the underground army. In Pit 2, get close to key exhibits such as the kneeling archer and general statues, then finish the tour at the special exhibition hall.

Ride the bullet train back to your Beijing hotel

After the tour, your Xi'an driver takes you to Xi'an North Station with plenty of time for the return train. When you arrive at Beijing West Station in the evening, your morning driver waits with a name sign and takes you back to your hotel within the 4th Ring Road. If you chose the ground-only option, please book round-trip tickets that match this schedule in advance.
