Xian, China

After breakfast, check out of your hotel in Beijing and transfer to the airport for your flight. Upon arrival, you will be met by your Viking Representative. Xian held the distinction of being the capital of China for 12 imperial dynasties, reaching its peak during the glorious Tang Dynasty. Once one of the world’s biggest and richest cities, and rivaling the great urban centers of Egypt and Greece as the birthplace of civilization, Xian sat at the terminus of the fabled Silk Road. The city is encircled by the most complete ancient city wall in China. With deep moats all around, the wall has four gates and is more than 90 miles long. Most famously, thousands of ancient Terra Cotta Warriors were unearthed nearby in 1974. This evening, enjoy time at your leisure at your hotel.
