Xian and Mt Huashan tour from Beijing

You will be picked up at 06:00 am from your hotel lobby, and head to the railway station for a 5-hour fast train ride to Huashan . Beginning by taking a cable car to the North Peak climb up the Ear-Touching Cliff, Heavenward Ladder and Black Dragon Ridge until reaching the Golden Lock Pass. After a lunch break, continue on to visit the Middle Peak (Jade Maiden Peak) and the East Peak (Facing Sun Peak) before the hike to South Peak (Landing Wild Geese Peak). Then finally we reach the West Peak. The West Peak is the symbol of Hua Shan; it is the most spectacular of the five peaks. From the West Peak we take the cable car down and return to the hotel.

This morning set off to visit the Terracotta Warriors. Marvel at this incredible archaeological find, discovered in 1976 by farmers digging a well, after being buried for 2,000 years. Three main pits are open for you to view, where just under 2,000 of the total 6,000 warriors – each individually sculpted from clay, each having a different costume, height, and even facial expression – stand in battle formation. Then it is one hour to Xi’an where a cycling tour around the ancient city wall is waiting for us. This is the most significant and best-preserved city wall extant in China, running over 13 kilometers around Xi’an.
Later, we will take a walk around the popular Muslim quarter before boarding an evening soft-sleeper train back to Beijing. Service ends.
