This was a day round tour from Beijing to Xian for attractions of Terra-cotta Warriors and Ancient City Wall then back to Beijing. I liked this tour very much. I made friends with many Chinese during the tour. All of the Chinese were very friendly to me. And they told us many interesting things about Beijing and Xian. I expected the next chance to have this tour. And I would recommend this tour to all of my friends!
