Highlights

Travel from Beijing to Xi'an by high-speed train for a private same-day visit to the Terracotta Warriors. This long but efficient itinerary is designed for travelers who have limited time in China and want to see one of the country's most important archaeological sites without arranging train tickets, local transfers, and museum admission separately. Your Xi'an guide meets you on arrival, leads you through the Terracotta Warriors Museum, and shares the history of Emperor Qin Shi Huang's underground army. Private transfers in Beijing and Xi'an are arranged to keep the day as smooth as possible.

About Beijing

Beijing, China's capital for centuries, holds imperial palaces, sacred temples and stretches of the Great Wall within reach of its modern boulevards.

At the city's heart, the Forbidden City spreads behind vermilion walls, a labyrinth of halls and courtyards that housed the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Tiananmen Square lies to its south, and the hill of Jingshan Park to its north gives the finest view over its golden roofs. The Temple of Heaven, set in a park where locals practise tai chi and dance, is a masterpiece of imperial design.

Top-ranked sights in Beijing: Mutianyu Great Wall, Forbidden City (Palace Museum), Tiananmen Square (Tiananmen Guangchang).
