From Beijing you will fly to Xian, the vital city to the Tang Dynasty which controlled a magnificent cultural period from 618 to 907 A.D. Once back in Xian, experience the historic grandeur of the era as you dine surrounded by its traditional song and dance.

Take the morning in Xian to tour the mausoleum where Emperor Qin Shi Huang was laid to rest over 2,000 years ago. There are views of the entire manmade burial ground from the walkways where, in the 1970s, the Terra Cotta Army was located. Here you will find thousands of life-sized warriors, infantrymen and archers made out of terra cotta, each with individual distinctive features. After lunch, you will fly to Chongqing to board your ship which will cruise through the night.
