Dreams come true in Xi'an
My family and I visited Xi'an for two days and were accompanied by Sherry, our tour guide! Even though we stayed for a very short time, Sherry made sure we visited everything important and on time. And when the person who we were going to cook dumplings with got sick, Sherry managed the schedule changes smoothly and skillfully. Beyond that, witnessing the Terracotta Soldiers was a dream come true, but Sherry's explanation and availabilty to answer questions pushed it even further! And also, not only was she a fountain of knowledge, she was very kind and open, sharing with us her day-to-day experience living in Xi'an. Finally, since my area is Asian Studies and I study Chinese, Sherry also helped me with the language and academic curiosity in an enthusiastic way. In the end, my two favourite Xi'an activities were visiting the Terracotta Soldiers and its museum, of course, and making dumplings! I highly recommend China Highlights' tour in Xi'an, especially when accompanied by Sherry. more

Xi’an with Jenny from the Block
Xi’an is a fantastic city to visit, the Terra Cotta Warriors are incredible but there is more to see and do—and eat! Make sure you ask for Jenny, she is a fabulous guide, super interesting and informative and FUN! Our group ranged in age from 15-80 and she took care everything with a keen attention to detail and nuanced suggestions to make the trip extra special. The dumpling making experience was amazing and delicious and surprisingly maybe our favourite activity? Thank you thank you Jenny! more

Xian
Helen was our tour guid and we very much enjoyed Xian and wished we could have spent more time as we only had a day. Our guide made sure we experienced all that we needed to see while out there even with our limited time. I would highly recommend visiting Xian and staying a few days to further explore the history. more

Suggested Itinerary
Here is a suggested itinerary. We are happy to customize a tour according to your interests and schedule.
Tour Duration: 7 hours
In the morning, your private English-speaking guide will collect you from your hotel. The starting time is flexible for you to decide. Your guide will call you at the hotel one day in advance or leave a message to double-check the collection time with you.
Your guide and driver will transfer you directly to Lantau Island. Drive along Tsing Ma Bridge as you enjoy good views along the way to Lantau Island.
Visit Po Lin Monastery, one of Hong Kong's principal centers of Buddhism. It boasts the world's largest seated outdoor bronze Buddha statue on the mountain peak.
Take the Ngong Ping 360 cable car to have a dramatic view of the Big Buddha (one-way ticket is included).
Visit Ngong Ping Market, and enjoy a vegetarian lunch (at your own expense) at the monastery, which is famous for providing high quality Buddhist vegetarian cuisine in Hong Kong.
Continue to Tai O Fishing Village, where the traditional life on water is well-preserved. It's a little village with many houses built on stilts over the water. People get to their houses by walkways or by boats, so it's sometimes called the 'Venice' of Hong Kong, offering a glimpse into Hong Kong's past and provide a striking contrast with the modern city.
Then your guide and driver will send you back to your hotel.
