Xian Holidays


asia
Xian was once an exuberant city, alive with poets, monks, and warriors from many cultures and religions. Xian also marked the eastern end of the legendary Silk Road.

Today, the city's rich history is still visible in its temples, streets, and markets, while modern Xian rises within the ancient city walls. Visitors can walk along these walls or choose to explore the city’s neighbourhoods for a glimpse into the Xian's fascinating past.

A visit to Xian wouldn’t be complete without seeing the remarkable Terracotta Army at Bingmayong. Thousands of life-sized warriors stand in formation, guarding the tomb of China’s first emperor, Qin Shi Huang. This is considered one one of the greatest archaeological finds of the 20th Century.

Trailfinders offer a range of China holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand experience. Whether you want to explore China with your own private guides and drivers, on a sociable small group tour or on a stopover en route to another destination - they are the perfect people to ask.
