Itinerary

1. Shaanxi History Museum
We will depart from your hotel and visit the Shaanxi History Museum, which has two venues: the Main Museum on Xiaozhai East Road, Xi’an, and the Qin‑Han Museum in Xixian New Area, China’s only museum dedicated to Qin‑Han civilization. Designed by architect Zhang Jinqiu, its seven buildings are arranged like the Big Dipper and connected by corridors, showcasing Qin‑Han architectural style. The core exhibition *Unity of the World* occupies two floors and displays 732 relics, covering centralized governance, economic policies, the rise of Confucianism, script unification, Han papermaking, and Silk Road exchanges. Highlights include the 9.71m‑long *Silk Road No.1* ship—the earliest known wooden vessel in China with craftsmanship linked to Roman techniques—and the Qin Du Hu Tally, a two‑part military credential. There are more treasures to explore. Enjoy your journey into Qin‑Han civilization!
Duration: 180 mins
2. Xi'an Museum
Xi'an Xiaoyanta Museum is where history and culture converge. Also known as Jianfu Temple Pagoda, it was built between 707 and 709 AD during the Tang Dynasty. As a landmark of ancient Chang’an, it stands facing the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda. The 43.3‑meter brick pagoda originally had 15 stories. It has a square base (11.38 meters per side) and tapers gracefully upward. Exquisite Tang‑dynasty carvings of celestial beings decorate its door lintels. The museum houses more than 43 stone steles from the Tang and Song dynasties, including the precious Attendant Bodhisattva inscription. Twenty steles record military examination candidates from the Ming and Qing dynasties, providing valuable materials for historical research. Come and experience the charm of the Tang Dynasty and profound traditional culture here. Enjoy your visit! After the visit, the tour guide and driver will take you back to your hotel, concluding the tour.
