Xian & Mt. Huashan 5 Days Gay Tour Itinerary

Day 1 - Xian, China
Welcome to Xian! Our local professional guide and experienced driver will meet you at the airport after your baggage reclaim and customs clearance, and then escort you to Hanyang Tombs before taking you to hotel.

Hanyang Tombs
Hangyang Tombs are the tombs of Emperor Jing and His wife in Han Dynasty. Meanwhile, it is also called "underground treasure-house of cultural relics" for ther are more than 80 burial pits and 5000 subordinate tombs.The artifacts and mini terracotta warriors are displayed beautifully in the tomb, thanks to the smart use of modern technology and exhibits arrangement. The burial pits in this underground museum are enclosed by transparent glass which allows you to have a closer view of the figurines in thousands including people and animals. It's on the way to the airport, so don't miss it when you are on the route.

1+1 Club (mixed) (optional activity)
The locals call it Yi Jia Yi. A two-floor club divided into three sections: a dance area always packed with young party people and DJ spinning hip hop/R&B/electronic beats; a lounge/chill section located at the back where people are better dressed and drink more expensive booze (dancing occurs here intermittently in the space between tables); and a pool area where guests sit in lounge chairs and tables to rest their feet or ears from the pulsating club (people here usually order coffee or tea). Crowded even on weekdays.

Day 2 - Xian - Terracotta Warriors
Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum
It is a MUSTSEE tour spot in China. History shows that upon ascending the throne at the age of 13 (in 246 BC), Emperor Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of all China, who destroyed 6 states in China and unified whole China, had begun to work for his mausoleum. It took 11 years to finish. Over 7,000 pottery soldiers, horses, chariots, and even weapons have been unearthed from these pits. Most of them have been restored to their former grandeur. These life size terracotta figures of warriors and horses arranged in battle formations are the star features at the museum. They are replicas of what the imperial guard should look like in those days of pomp and vigor.

Day 3 - Mt.Huashan
Mt. Huashan
Located in the southern part of Anhui Province, the Mt. Huangshan is famed for its beautiful landscape-staggering sunrise and sunset, fantastically shaped granite peaks, the gnarled forms of ubiquitous Hangshan pine trees, and the other-worldly sea of the clouds. Also much of Mount Huang's reputation derives from its significance in Chinese art, literature and profound cultural resources. The World Heritage Committee of UNESCO inscribed Mt.Huangshan on the list of Natural and Cultural Heritage on the World in 1990. The nearby villages of Hongcun and Xidi were also named part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000. In 2002, Mount Huang was named the "sister mountain" of Jungfrau in the Swiss Alps.
