Xian Holidays

Xian was once an exuberant city buzzing with poets, monks and warriors of various religions and cultures and the eastern end of the Silk Road.

Today, Xian is a modern city surrounded by the old city walls. A visit here is not complete without seeing the spectacular and iconic archaeological site, Bingmayong, otherwise known as the Terracotta Army, where thousands of life-sized warrior figures were buried with China’s first emperor, Qin Shi Huang.

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.
