After lunch, take a bus to visit the masterpiece of Buddhist architectural art in the Tang Dynasty in China, the Dacien Temple (about 1 hour tour, excluding the 30 yuan per person for climbing the tower). The temple is where Master Xuanzang translated Buddhist scriptures. This millennium old pagoda tells the story of the vicissitudes of this ancient city. Dacien Temple is the most famous and magnificent Buddhist temple in Chang'an, built by the imperial decree of the Li and Tang dynasties. It is one of the three major translation sites in Chang'an, and has been in operation for more than 1350 years. Xuanzang presided over the temple affairs here, led the Buddhist scripture translation site, and founded the Yogacara school, one of the eight major sects of Chinese Buddhism, becoming the ancestral home of the Yogacara school.
Afterwards, we will visit the "Music Fountain of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda Square" (stay for about 30 minutes). The Big Wild Goose Pagoda Square was built in 589 AD and is one of the iconic buildings in Xi'an. The Tang Dynasty monk Xuanzang once translated scriptures here. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda Square is located at the foot of the world-renowned Buddhist holy site, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. It is the largest Tang culture themed square in Asia and has become a cultural and tourist attraction for Xi'an people to enjoy, gather, and relax. Professor Huo Songlin, a master of traditional Chinese studies, happily wrote a poem after visiting: "The water, wood, and Tsinghua buildings are new, and the flowers are as beautiful as brocade and the grass is as lush as grass. The square combines the beauty of a garden, offering scenic views and leisure for millions of people.
Afterwards, we will go to the 'Tang Dynasty Never Night City' (with a stay of about 1 hour), which is set against the backdrop of the prosperous Tang culture and features Tang style elements. It has four major squares, namely the North Square of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Xuanzang Square, Zhenguan Square, and Chuangling New Era Square, as well as four cultural venues including the Xi'an Concert Hall, Shaanxi Grand Theater, Xi'an Art Museum, and Qujiang Pacific Film City.

After breakfast, go to visit the Terra Cotta Warriors Museum, the eighth wonder of the world (about 150 minutes). This is the world's largest "underground military museum", one of the greatest discoveries in world archaeological history, and can be called the "Eighth Wonder of the World". Walking among these highly infectious artworks, history seems no longer distant. Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang and Terracotta Warriors have been approved by UNESCO to be included in the The World Heritage List, and known as the "eighth wonder of the world". More than 200 national leaders have visited them, becoming a golden card of China's glorious ancient civilization.
After enjoying Chinese cuisine, we will visit the most complete landmark scenic spot of Tang culture in China, the Huaqing Palace where the Xi'an Incident broke out (tour time is about 120 minutes). It is located south of Mount Li and north of the Wei River. Due to its timeless hot spring resources, the love story between Emperor Ming of Tang and Concubine Yang, the site of the Xi'an Incident, and rich cultural and historical resources, it is a representation of the Huaqing Palace of the Tang Dynasty. The Huaqing Palace was originally an ordinary royal winter palace, and the Huaqing Pool has been renowned throughout history for Yang Guifei. More than a thousand years ago, the love between Sanlang and Yuhuan, in the Feishuang Hall, on Jiulong Lake, under the pomegranate tree, and by the Guifei Pool, was not worth ten years of affection compared to the mutiny of the cavalry soldiers. Is it love? Is it hate? The beauty has passed away, but the pool is still there. I came here to see the fragrant place where the noble consort took a bath. The shocking site of the Xi'an Incident, the "Five Room Hall" in Huanyuan, also took place here. Later, when you reached the Lishan Military Advisory Pavilion and looked down the mountain, you could see the pavilions, towers, flowers, and ponds of the entire Huaqing Pond.
