Can someone please give us a 5 days itinerary for 2. We will be arriving in the afternoon on day 1 and leaving in the evening in day 5 . The must see for us is Qianling .Is Xianyang Museum worth the trip?
Thank you
Firstly, I would like to give you a brief introduction about Xianyang Museum. The Museum focuses its exhibition on the historical relics of the Qin and the Han dynasties with nine exhibition halls and a stele corridor. Among the rich cultural relics, the 3,000 Painted Terra - Cotta Soldiers and Horses of the Western Han Dynasty (206 B.C. - 25 A.D.) are the most famous.
Secondly, I learnt that you plan to spend 4 days or plus another half day in Xi'an, since you said you will be ariving in Xi'an in the afternoon of the 1st day, and leaving in the evening of the 5th day. So, you may choose one 4-days-itinerary:
1st day
Shaanxi Provincial History Museum; Tang Dynasty Music and Dance Show; Xi'an City Wall
2nd day
Big Wild Goose Pagoda; Forest of Stone Steles Museum; Terracotta Warriors and Horses;
3rd day
Han Yang Ling Museum; Qianling Tomb; Tomb of Princess Yongtai;
4th day
Great Mosque
Hope you have a nice tour!
Cheers!
I think Qianling is part of the Western Route, am I right? If so, that's usually combined with Zhaoling and Famen Temple for a full day, vehicle hire. For Famen Temple, the "treasures museum" was more interesting for us than the main temple itself.
Sorry, not sure about Xianyang Museum.
I presume you'll be staying in central Xi'an, by the Bell Tower and Muslim Quarter?
Day 1: arrive afternoon, check-in hotel, Muslim Quarter, dumpling feast dinner
Day 2: Terracotta Warriors, bike riding on city walls, Tang Dynasty performance and dinner
Day 3: Western Route
Day 4: Shaanxi Provincial Museum, Big Goose Pagoda, musical fountain (outside Big Goose Pagoda)
Day 5: Grand Mosque, Bell & Drum Towers, Hanyangling (enroute to airport, best if you arrange for vehicle hire here), off to airport
Thanks that was very helpful
Hi elyses I understand that we must stay at a hotel within the city can u recommend any? and do u know anyone guide for hire?
thanks
When are you staying, and what price range are you looking for?
I might be able to hook you up with a guide. VTMail me if necessary.
visit #1) TERRACOTTA WARRIOR SOLDIERS - There are several buildings containing the statues. Quite impressive. From Xi'an, take a bus to the site. #2) GREAT MOSQUE -Never knew that there was a prominent Muslim population in China. It was fascinating to see this part of China, in Xi'an. #3) OLD XI'AN - Near the Great Mosque. Take some time to walk around the walled portion of the city. Ha, so many. Please read 'restaurants.'
The international airport at Xi'an is rated state first-class airport in China. It has regular flights to Nagoya and Hong Kong and chartered flights to Singapore and Bangkok in addition to domestic lines to more than 50 major Chinese cities. There are 2,600 kilometers of railways within Shaanxi Province. Besides a road network that links up all the county- seats of the province to Xi'an, there are express ways radiating from Xi'an to Lintong , Tongchuan and Huashan.
Xianyang Airport is approximately 40 km northeast of downtown Xi'an. A CAAC airport shuttle bus service operates between the airport and CAAC ticket office. A ride downtown takes about 1 hour. A ride by taxi takes about 45 minutes.
Take a nice 2 hour tour in this museum on a lazy afternoon. You might find it very enriching to know what the Chinese did in the old days, especially during war. Check out the tea pot or kettle without any lid, and some of the fine bronze work and carvings. You will be amazed.
This is basically a street for food and souvenir. I wasn't really sure what food to pick when I was there for the first time.. i walked through the whole street without picking a single stuff. Finally a local friend took me there and I was introduced to taste some local snacks.. Hmm.. I think I like the BBQ beef stick the most.. yummy.. and everything was amazingly cheap!
When in the muslim quarters, have a look at the Great Mosque, one of the biggest or oldest in China (I forgot :P). It looks like a chinese temple actually, probably because of the architecture and all, but if you look closely, the designs are not really chinese, or something like that :P You have to see it for yourself, I suck in description haha :P
