Xian Tours
As the capital of thirteen dynasties, the city of Xi’an is honeycombed with fascinating remnants and brilliant culture.
The icon of the city - the Terra Cotta Warriors and horses of the first emperor Qin Shihuang , is an awe-inspiring sight with alleys of soldiers, horses and chariots ranked in battle array and each with unique facial presents. The most complete ancient city wall, the Shaanxi History Museum with comprehensive historical treasures and the well preserved Hanyang Tomb are also great choices to get a touch with the city’s glorious history.
75 miles from Xi’an, The Mt. Huashan, one of the five sacred mountains in China, offers an overwhelming thrilling experience with its precipitous crags, narrow and steep paths.

What is the best route for a Mount Hua tour?
We suggest you take a cable car to the West Peak first, and then hike to the South Peak, where you can walk on the Changkong Plank Path. The plank path is so steep that you have to catch hold of the chains beside the path to keep balance and move forward. After the South Peak, you want to get down by cable car from the North Peak.
