FLEXIBLE ROUTE IDEA
Xi'an · 3 days
Xi'an is split between the walled city, the Terracotta Army and a final day for museums, temples and Shaanxi food traditions.
This is a planning framework, not a fixed group tour. Stops, transport and daily pace can all be changed.

Suggested route rhythm
The day ranges below show a comfortable starting rhythm. Exact trains, flights and driving time are arranged after your dates are confirmed.
Main interests
- Days 1–3
Xi'an
Give the Terracotta Army its own day and keep the city wall, mosque, food streets and museum appointments in logical clusters.
Arrival and departure
Use Xi'an Xianyang Airport or Xi'an North railway station for arrival and departure. The Terracotta Army lies outside the city, so reserve it for a full middle day rather than an arrival or departure day.
Why this route works
The Terracotta Army receives its own day, while the old city and museum day remain walkable and can be adjusted around ticket availability.
