There are many hanfu to choose from, especially the flowy kind. The girls at the shop were very kind and helped me wonderfully. After getting your makeup done, you have to go to a park near the big pagoda to take photos, and then to a shop to choose which ones you want retouched. I had a fantastic time! Although, it was about three hours in total!

I participated in the Terracotta Army and paper-cutting activities. Xi'an is an ancient capital of thirteen dynasties. The activity was carefully taught, and the teacher explained in detail the development history of the two activities and related history. As a tourist in Xi'an, I felt it was very meaningful to be able to personally create my favorite cultural activities. The location instructions were clear, and the center was well-maintained and clean.

it was on summer discount so it was definitely worth it. guide was very knowledgeable and patient. only downside was that the lunch provided was very average, definitely could've been better, and also they could've at least provided a bottle of water.

pick up was a bit chaotic as there was only a Chinese guide. but then we stopped at a second gathering spot in Xi’an where there was an English guide. he explained the trails etc. going up west and going down north is the easiest way, as it’s mostly down hill. any moderate fit person can do it. they provide small lunch and small breakfast. they did have us pay an extra 50yuan for a gps and insurance they said. as it’s just a guide for the transfer to the mountain and you do the hike by yourself nobody gave tips at the end.

my family and I had such a nice time during this trip. our Guide was Carol, and she was so lovely and knowledgeable. she always took care of the group and shared a lot of history. The tour was very thorough and covered the main attractions to see in Xian. Because we only stayed for two nights, it was very helpful to take this off the list in one tour. i must say, the food was also not bad at all. We have tried food from different tours, and this was definitely one of the best we tried lol. At the end, they also give you the choice to be dropped off back at the hotel or to stay at the Muslim Quarter, which really shows how much flexibility they provide during this tour. Once again, I want to praise Carol for her professionalism and for truly representing the hospitality of China.

It was a wonderful tour. Everything went smoothly according to plan, and the tour guide explained the history of the Terracotta Warriors and the emperor very well. The guide was knowledgeable and made the experience very enjoyable.

It was a truly enjoyable experience. Tickets are usually very difficult to get, but I was able to purchase them easily and affordably, and the guide was incredibly kind. Any minor communication difficulties were easily resolved with Papago. If you come to Xi'an, I believe the Shaanxi History Museum is a must-visit, provided you can secure a reservation. It was a truly wonderful experience.

It was an unforgettable experience. Our guide Andy was extremely knowledgeable and thoughtful. Thanks to his tips, we managed to skip the queues and get close to the Terracotta Army, allowing us to see it in the best possible way. Since our hotel was located in the Muslim Quarter, the bus picked us up just a 5-minute walk away, which was convenient and punctual. The lunch at Andy’s parents’ home was delicious and well arranged, and his parents were very kind and friendly. Highly recommended!
