Itinerary
Day 1: Xi'an
Terracotta Warriors and Horses--Da Ci'en Temple--Big Wild Goose Pagoda-Ancient City Wall
We will drive about 40 kilometers to the world-famous Terracotta Warriors and Horses. These Terracotta Warriors were built by China's first emperor, Qin Shi Huang, to protect him in the afterlife. Over 8,000 life-size terracotta figurines, horses and chariots were buried underground for over 2,000 years until they were discovered in 1974. Standing in front of these spectacular statues, you will be awed by the ambition of Emperor Qin Shi Huang and the skill of ancient Chinese artisans.
Before visiting the Terracotta Warriors Museum, you will also have the opportunity to experience traditional culture by making a miniature Terracotta Warrior under the guidance of a local potter.
After lunch, we will return to downtown Xi'an and visit the Da Ci'en Temple.
This temple was a famous translation site of Buddhist scriptures during
the Tang Dynasty. The temple has a 64.5-meter-high pagoda, the Big Wild
Goose Pagoda, which was built by the Buddhist master Xuanzang to
preserve the scriptures he brought back from India. If you are interested, you can climb the Big Wild Goose Pagoda (extra charge applies) for a great view of the city. Then we will go to the Ancient City Wall,
which is
the largest and best-preserved ancient city wall in China. You will pass
through the Hanguang Gate, as if traveling back to the prosperous
scenes on the ancient Silk Road. On the city wall, you can rent a
bicycle (extra charge applies) for a leisurely ride and enjoy the
panoramic view of modern Xi'an.

Shopping on Nanjing Road in Shanghai was just amazing! It's truly the "First Commercial Street of China", where tradition and modernity blend perfectly. You can find awesome souvenirs and experience the trendy vibes in cool stores. The neon lights at night are just spectacular, shining bright like Times Square in New York. The food here is incredible too. I had a feast for my taste buds. Shanghai, I'll definitely be back!

As a solo traveler from Canada, I was nervous about navigating China alone—but this 11-day tour was PERFECT! From hiking the Great Wall at sunrise (Day 3) to gasping at the Terracotta Army (Day 5), every day delivered ‘pinch-me’ moments. The real showstopper? Zhangjiajie’s Avatar Mountains (Day 7)! Our guide made the stone pillars come alive with stories.
Massive thanks for handling all logistics—bullet train tickets, entry passes, car! And the 4-star hotels surprised me.

Our 2-day Zhangjiajie tour was beyond spectacular! As someone who’s visited Beijing and Shanghai for work, this trip revealed China’s wild, magical heart. Day 1 in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park felt like stepping onto Pandora—I’m a huge Avatar fan, and Yuanjiajie’s floating peaks left me breathless. The misty pillars and lush valleys like pure movie magic!
Then came Fenghuang Ancient Town, we eat dinner beside the thundering waterfall. It seems Unreal! The night views of stilt houses glowing over the river were straight from a fairy tale.
For fellow Avatar lovers and adventure seekers: Don’t miss this bucket-list experience! 10/10 would return.
