We had an english speaking guide for the duration of our stay who is eager to show off this magical city to us.

Our itinerary in Xian :

Experience the thrill and awe of seeing the individually sculpted faces of thousands of life-sized terra cotta warriors. Farmers accidentally discovered this army, buried with the first emperor for two millennia, including numerous of horses and chariots.

More visits including the Huaqing Hot Spring, a magnificent summer residence for Tang emperors.

Finish the day with a Tang Dynasty Palatial dinner and show.

 Enjoy a morning visit to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, the Bell Tower and the Great Mosque with its surrounding alleys and shops. 

Xian exceeded my expectations , the sightseeing, shopping and the cuisine was simply amazing
