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.

Afterwards, you will come to The Tang Paradise. This scenic spot, modeled after the royal gardens of the Tang Dynasty, recreates the splendor and prosperity of the flourishing Tang Dynasty. You can enjoy wonderful Tang Dynasty song and dance performances and palace culture displays, and you can also experience the etiquette and culture of the Tang Dynasty court.

As night falls, we will take you to Grand Tang Dynasty Ever Bright City. It is a unique Tang Dynasty cultural theme imitation complex in China, where you can enjoy rich singing and dancing performances and charming night scenery.

• Xi'an Museum-Anrenfang Ruins Exhibition Hall-Small Wild Goose Pagoda-Xi'an Bell Tower-Ancient City Wall-Muslim Quarter

• Breakfast

  
  

In the morning we will visit Xian Museum. Items on display at the Xi'an Museum include Shaanxi history and culture, ceramics, bronzes, calligraphy and painting, and stone carvings. The most distinctive part is the Shaanxi history and culture area, which shows the historical changes and cultural inheritance of the Shaanxi region from ancient times to modern times.

Leaving the Xi'an Museum, we will head to the Anrenfang Ruins Exhibition Hall. This was once a bustling marketplace in Chang'an City during the Tang Dynasty, but today only ruins remain. The simulated restoration and detailed explanation in the exhibition hall will make you feel like going back to the flourishing times.

Then head to the nearby Small Wild Goose Pagoda, which functions as a repository for Buddhist scriptures.

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.

Then we will also take you to visit the bustling Muslim Quarter to taste the authentic local snacks and experience the different cultural atmosphere.
