The tour begins with a visit to the Shaanxi History Museum for a cultural and historical overview of the province, beginning with the great Emperor Qing. You’ll relive the rise of the city’s greatness as guardian of the wealth that came from the Silk Road. After a comprehensive historical overview at the museum, you’ll travel to the Small Wild Goose Pagoda. The Pagoda is a square brick construction with dense eaves, 45 meters high but missing it’s top which was shaken off by an earthquake! It is uniquely and delicately shaped with a hollow inside.
Next, you will hear history ring at the Bell Tower, a city tower that hold great significance for the local community. Xi’an is also the home of the Great Mosque, your last stop on the tour.

This was a really good tour to take the hassle out of trying to find all of these places on foot or by taxi. It does everything that is missing on the Essential Xi’an Full Day Tour. Make sure you give yourself an extra 3 or 4 hours on one day to cycle around the city wall, though; it’s really worth doing!
