2. Day 2: Xian to Shanghai Tour by Flight
   Marvel at the Wonders of Ancient Architecture

   After breakfast, your guide and driver will meet you at your hotel lobby and start today from the No. 1 highlight of Xian: Terracotta Warriors. Known as the Eighth Wonder of the World, the Terracotta Warriors slept under the ground for 2,200 years before the accidental discovery by local farmers who were digging wells. The life-size terracotta warriors differ from one another in clothing, hairstyle, posture, and facial expression. Since its opening to the public in 1979, it has become one of symbols of China throughout the world.

   

   After a Chinese-style lunch, drive back to Xian downtown to visit the Ancient City Wall, the largest and best-preserved ancient city wall in China. It served as the military defensive system in ancient times, which can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty. After arriving at the City Wall, you can explore the wall by foot or optionally ride a bike to enjoy the panoramic views of the city and take in 600 years of history whistling past your face.

   

   Then it’s time to say goodbye to this ancient capital. Your guide and driver will escort you to catch the flight back to Shanghai. When you arrive in Shanghai, the local driver will wait for you at the exit of the arrival hall by holding a name sign and transfer you to the cruise port. Our 2-day Xian tour will end here. Wish you a pleasant journey.
