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

Take the high-speed train
from Beijing to Xi'an

Meet your driver holding a sign with your name in your downtown Beijing hotel lobby at 5:30 or 6:00 AM. Transfer to Beijing West Railway Station, where the driver will take you to the waiting room and help check your tickets. Then enjoy the approximately 4.5-hour high-speed train journey to Xi'an on your own in second class.

Ride a private car from Xi'an Station
to the Terracotta Army Museum

On arrival, a local driver will be waiting at the arrival exit with a sign bearing your name. Board a private air-conditioned vehicle for the approximately 1.5-hour drive to the Terracotta Army Museum. On the way, meet your tour guide, who will share the history and stories of the site, so feel free to ask questions.

Meet Emperor Qin's army
in Pits 1, 2 and 3

The Terracotta Army was made to accompany the tomb of China's first emperor, Qin Shi Huang, and protect him in the afterlife. It includes thousands of finely crafted, life-size figures representing the emperor's guard. The site was discovered in 1974 by four local farmers digging a well. Since then, more than 2,000 soldiers and horses have been excavated from three pits, and around 6,000 are believed to remain underground.

Follow your guide through Pits 1, 2 and 3 and explore this world-famous archaeological site for 2 to 3 hours. If you would like lunch, let your guide know. Depending on the time, they can recommend a place to eat at your own expense.
