Itinerary
Your tour guide and driver will pick up you at your hotel in the morning. First you will be escorted to the Bell and Drum Towers Square, where you will have a photo stop. It is the best time to take photos of these two towers in the morning with golden sunlight.
Then your guide will lead you to visit the Forest of Stone Steles Museum which has a collection of ancient stone tablets, epitaphs and stone carvings of all ages.
Following is a visit to the Banpo Museum, which is the site of a matriarchal clan of Yangshao culture during the Neolithic period about 6,000 years ago. The museum mainly includes the Unearthed Relics Exhibition Hall where you can see their production tools and living goods made of stone, bone and pottery clay, the Historical Site Hall which is a part of a primitive village, as well as the Supplementary Exhibition Hall where you will see some thematic exhibitions related to the prehistory.
Then you will continue the trip to the Shaanxi History Museum and learn more of the profound Chinese civilization, especially during Zhou (1046 - 256 BC), Qin (221 - 207 BC), Han (202 BC - 220 AD) and Tang (618 - 907) dynasties.
Afterwards, head to the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda square to appreciate the Pagoda from a distance. It is the earliest and largest square tower built of bricks during the Tang Dynasty. You will also have some free time to explore the Great Tang All Day Mall, which is just opposite to the pagoda temple. It is a long pedestrian street full of Tang Dynasty culture. At the end of the trip, drive you back to the hotel. Any part of the itinerary can be customized to meet your interests and needs.

About Xian
Xi'an, capital of many Chinese dynasties and the start of the Silk Road, is home to the Terracotta Army and intact Ming city walls.
The Terracotta Army, found by farmers digging a well in 1974, stands in vast pits outside the city: thousands of life-size clay warriors, horses and chariots buried to guard the tomb of Qin Shi Huang, China's first emperor. Each figure has its own face, and the scale is staggering.
Top-ranked sights in Xian: Emperor Qinshihuang’s Mausoleum Site Museum (Terracotta Warriors), Xi'an City Wall (Chengqiang), Big Wild Goose Pagoda (Dayanta).
