    China Tour, leg 2: Xi'an + Terracotta Warriors

    Day 4 - departed Beijing via bullet train to Xi'an, a region which experienced 13 Dynasties in its long history. The funeral tribute to Emperor Qin Shi Huang - first Emperor (259 - 206BC), discovered by local farmers (we met one of the original four men) and saw 3 open pits of relics including Warriors, horses and other artefacts. Later we moulded a clay warrior, with an artisan's help to perfect our creations, which we could take home. Then on to an ancient (& still occupied) Buddhist monastery, The Wild Goose Pagoda & gardens. That evening we were entertained at a splendid dining theatre with historic musicians & dancers in vivid, colourful performances. Next day we climbed Xian's fortress wall, divinding the ancient Muslim quarter from the modern growing city outside. We strolled through gorgeous Penjing-styled monastery gardens and admired the ancient Pagodas. A master Tai Chi instructor led a class for several tourist groups, beneath the fortress wall, overlooking yet more beautful civic gardens, designed for the health & fitness of local citizens. We had opportunity to select our own menu choices from a market restaurant; yet more plentiful, fresh and delicious local cuisine. That evening we boarded a smooth internal flight to the next town; Wulinyuan (home of the Zhangjiajie National Forst Park). We thoroughly enjoyed leg 2 of our 11 day China tour!

    Response from the operator: Thanks for sharing your amazing Xi'an experience! From meeting a Terracotta Warrior discoverer to moulding your own warrior, from the Wild Goose Pagoda to the dining theatre, from the fortress wall to Tai Chi, and delicious local food, you packed in so much. So glad leg 2 of your 11 day tour was thoroughly enjoyed!

    History, art and nature - perfect combination

    A wonderful trip organized by TCG that allowed us to see so much, from history, art and performances, beautiful gardens, and a bit of everyday Chinese life in just 11 days. A trip that was made effortless by the TCG staff, starting with Wendy who quickly answered all our questions and fulfilled all our requests. And I would especially like to thank our dear "follow Kitty" and Jolin who were exceptional, and whom we will certainly not forget.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful and heartfelt review. We're thrilled that Wendy, Kitty, and Jolin made your 11-day China trip so memorable – from history and art to gardens and daily life. We're especially touched that you will never forget Kitty and Jolin. We truly appreciate your kind words!

    Definitely Recommend the Tour company and this itinerary

    Amazing - the tour company organised everything very well indeed - hotels, pickup, guides, internal transport - it was all smooth - the booking was v smooth as well - they answered questions very clearly and promptly - my consultant Kina Lu did a great job - she sorted out a mix up super efficiently on my first pickup at Beijing which was my fault about not informing them of a change in my incoming flight. Definitely recommend them.

    Response from the operator: Dear guest, thank you for kindly sharing your lovely experience. Your satisfaction of this trip gives us endless thrill. Thank you again for choosing us. We have tour service in more than 120 countries globally and we will be happy to have a chance to serve you in the future to explore more travel destinations. Best regards from TravelChinaGuide Tours.

    Amazing experience in China.

    A very successful stay in China, which fully met our expectations. Preparations for the trip began several months in advance. Thanks to our travel consultant Kina Lu, everything was under control – from the beginning of the preparations to the very end of the trip. I appreciate Kina's involvement. I was in constant contact with Kina and was able to update on all matters related to the trip. A local guide took care of us at every stage of the trip. Two places exceeded our expectations: a visit to The Tang Dynasty Xi'an and our entire stay in the mountains in Zhangjiajie. Incredible experiences.

    Response from the operator: Dear guest, thank you for taking the time to rate our travel service. We are very pleased to receive your praise for our travel consultant. There is nothing better than seeing that you enjoyed your trip. Best regards from TravelChinaGuide Tours.

You made my time in China <3

    11-Day Small Group China Tour to Beijing, Xi'an, Zhangjiajie and Shanghai: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Beijing.

    How much does 11-Day Small Group China Tour to Beijing, Xi'an, Zhangjiajie and Shanghai cost?

    +

    Prices start at $2809 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Beijing usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 11-Day Small Group China Tour to Beijing, Xi'an, Zhangjiajie and Shanghai take?

    +

    Plan for about 264 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Beijing is not rushed.

    Is 11-Day Small Group China Tour to Beijing, Xi'an, Zhangjiajie and Shanghai worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Beijing, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 11-Day Small Group China Tour to Beijing, Xi'an, Zhangjiajie and Shanghai?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is 11-Day Small Group China Tour to Beijing, Xi'an, Zhangjiajie and Shanghai suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 264-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 11-Day Small Group China Tour to Beijing, Xi'an, Zhangjiajie and Shanghai?

    +

    Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Beijing can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Beijing and add a light layer if any part of the 264-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 11-Day Small Group China Tour to Beijing, Xi'an, Zhangjiajie and Shanghai start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Beijing within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Beijing?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Beijing experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Mubus: Mutianyu Great Wall Bus Tour with Summer Palace Options, Beijing: Top 6 Highlights All Inclusive 2-Day Private Tour, Private Mutianyu Great Wall Trip With English-Speaking Driver. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Beijing?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Beijing?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
