Xi'an brings Chinese history alive for families in ways that captivate children and adults alike. Over three memorable days, your family will meet the ancient Terracotta Warriors, cycle atop the magnificent Ming Dynasty city wall, feast on delicious street food in the Muslim Quarter, and experience the magic of Tang dynasty culture through colorful shows and interactive museums. The pace is designed for families with built-in rest time and kid-friendly activities throughout.
Arrive early to explore China's most famous archaeological site with fewer crowds. Kids love counting the different warrior faces and spotting the horses. Rent the family audio guide for engaging stories about the ancient army.
Visit the tomb mound of the first emperor included in your ticket. The park-like setting is great for kids to run around. Electric carts available for tired little legs.
Eat at one of the family-friendly restaurants near the museum exit. Simple noodles and fried rice options that kids will enjoy. Avoid the tourist trap restaurants and look for busy local spots.
Take the tourist bus back to the city center. Kids can nap on the ride. Check into your hotel and freshen up before the evening adventure.
Explore the famous Muslim Quarter food street as it comes alive for evening. Try roujiamo (meat sandwiches), yangrou paomo (lamb soup), and sweet persimmon cakes. Kids love the candy and dried fruit stalls.
