Meet your guide and group and head to the Terracotta Army. Skip the crowds with an exclusive route and focus only on the 3 essential pits. Hear stories about the warriors’ craftsmanship, history, and excavation secrets that you won’t find in guidebooks.

Next, visit Huaqing Palace, where you’ll learn the tragic love story of Emperor Xuanzong and Yang Guifei — the inspiration behind the evening show. Explore the ancient imperial hot springs, hidden photo spots, and listen to the background of Bai Juyi’s famous poem, so you can fully understand the spectacle later.

After a relaxed dinner break, head to the Song of Everlasting Sorrow show — a stunning outdoor performance with lights, fire, water effects, and real mountain scenery. Your guide will help you understand every scene and its cultural meaning.
