Itinerary

In the morning, your guide will pick you at your hotel lobby, then we will head to Giant Wild Goose Pagoda which is the earliest and largest square tower built of bricks during the Tang Dynasty. The pagoda, rising to a height of 64.5 meters, was built by the famous Buddhist master Xuanzang to preserve classic scriptures he bought back from India during the early Tang Dynasty. Xuanzang was the prototype character for Tang Seng in the famous Chinese novel “Journey to the West”. (Note: It costs an extra 30 RMB if you want to climb up the Big Wild Goose Pagoda). Afterward, we will continue the trip to the Shaanxi History Museum to learn more about the profound Chinese civilization, especially during the Zhou (1046-256 BC), Qin (221-207 BC), Han (202 BC-220 AD), and Tang (618-907) dynasties.

In the afternoon, we will head to Hanyangling where you can enjoy a quiet lesson on archaeology.

You actually walk on glass over the top of the archaeological site, which gives an intriguing perspective. Then the driver will transfer you to the hotel downtown Xi’an.
