Take a Xian tour and explore the region's history with a knowledgeable local guide.

Other travelers will tell you that no trip to China is complete without a visit to Xian's awesome Terracotta Warriors. One of the most significant archaeological finds ever, the 7000 life-size warriors and horses were constructed around 200 BC - and no two are alike. Afterwards, take a stroll through the city's Muslim Quarter, pausing to contemplate the 8th century Grand Mosque, with its unique blend of Chinese and Islamic architecture.
