Weekend
Half a day with the warriors, an afternoon on the wall, one night in the lantern alleys. Enough for a first taste.

Route anchor
Should Xi'an anchor your China route?
Xi'an is a useful starting point when the season, pace and next city are planned together. Use this page to judge whether it belongs in your route; the final plan is written after your travel month, party size and priorities are clear.
This is a planning starter, not a fixed package or a live supplier promise. Current access, ticketing, weather, transport and guide availability are checked before any quote is prepared.
Next step
Add Xi'an to your request. The form gives the planning team enough context to decide whether it should be a main stop, a side trip, or something to save for another route.

Moments worth discussing before the route is written
Not every idea fits every month or travel style. Treat these as conversation starters, then let the advisor check what is realistic for your dates.
Walk in with the very first wave at the Terracotta Army
Cycle the 14-km loop on the Ming city wall
Tear flatbread into a bowl of lamb paomo in the Muslim Quarter
Hear a Tang-dynasty music set under the Big Wild Goose Pagoda

Spring blossoms and autumn skies are the sweet spots. Summers are hot and dusty, winters cold with occasional haze.

5days

Xi'an plus a slow-paced Silk Road taster — Famen Temple, the Qianling tombs, and a stay in a courtyard village like Yuanjiacun.
