Option 1: Pure Xi’an Dumpling-Making Cultural Experience

Get picked up from your hotel and visit a local family. Spend 2 hours making dumplings—from kneading dough, rolling wrappers to preparing fillings. Experience the traditional craftsmanship and the meaning of “reunion” embodied in Xi’an dumplings.

The fresh dumplings will be cooked and served immediately, accompanied by 2 meat dishes, 2 vegetable dishes, delicate desserts, and seasonal fruits, plus soft drinks, beer, or hot tea. Savor the hospitality of Xi’an locals while satisfying your taste buds. After the meal, your guide will help you book a DiDi ride, allowing you to arrange your subsequent itinerary flexibly and wrap up this healing local life experience with ease.

Option 2: Terracotta Warriors + Dumpling-Making Cultural Experience

Get picked up from your hotel and head to the Terracotta Warriors—the “Eighth Wonder of the World.” Walk through the three iconic pits with professional commentary, admire the 2,000-year-old Qin Dynasty military formations, exquisite armor, and unique facial features of the terracotta figures, and gain insight into the ancient craftsmen’s wisdom and the power of the Qin Empire.

In the afternoon, seamlessly transition to the dumpling-making experience: Visit a local family to make Xi’an dumplings by hand, unwind from travel fatigue through this hands-on activity, and enjoy the meal with 2 meat dishes, 2 vegetable dishes, and drinks. You’ll have exclusive driver transfers throughout the day; after the meal, you’ll be dropped off directly at your hotel, no need to worry about transportation details—making your journey more hassle-free.

Option 3: Xi’an City Wall + Giant Wild Goose Pagoda + Dumpling-Making Experience

In the early morning, first climb the Xi’an City Wall (a 600-year-old Ming Dynasty structure), stroll along the ancient brick paths, and watch the morning light glide over the majestic city gates and the scenery around the wall. Then head to the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, a site where the monk Xuanzang once translated Buddhist scriptures. Admire the grandeur of this Tang Dynasty wood-imitated brick pagoda and listen to the millennium-old dialogue between Buddhist culture and architectural art.

In the afternoon, start the dumpling-making experience: Learn to make dumplings from the local host and enjoy the meal with 2 meat dishes and 2 vegetable dishes, extending the warmth of your cultural journey through food. You’ll have driver transfers throughout the trip—from hotel pickup to return—no need for you to arrange anything; just focus on enjoying the journey.
