Our little " Pocket Rocket "
![]() My friends and I are here to celebrate a couple of birthday's one being a big special one. Visiting Xi’an was an unforgettable experience, made truly exceptional by our incredible tour guide Crystal . From start to finish, she went above and beyond to ensure every moment was seamless and special. Nothing was ever too much trouble—her kindness, deep knowledge of the city’s vast history, and genuine care made us feel so welcomed and cared for, we had a great laugh with her, my friend gave her a new name, "Pocket Rocket " she was so fast and got things done. Thanks to her, we not only saw the sights but truly connected with the culture. I would % recommend her to anyone visiting Xi’an, I doubt you'd find a more dedicated or thoughtful guide. She's passionate and thoroughly enjoys her job. more

Memorable Xi’an
![]() Susan of China Highlights was a terrific guide. She knew the best entrance for seeing the Terra Cotta Warriors, helped us get Hanfu costumes at reasonable cost and gamely took photos for us, secured tickets to a wonderful Camel Legend show about the Silk Road, took us to an interesting heritage museum to learn about the Tang Dynasty, and as a special treat, introduced us to local residents and their activities. At her suggestion, we also went to the right part of town at night to enjoy the old city wall lighted up. more

Amazing Experience in Xi’an
![]() As part of our China Highlights Tour my wife and I spent 2 nights and one full day in Xi’an. What a day it was! Guide Jenny and a driver picked us up early at our hotel and during the hour drive out to see the Terra Cotta Warriors Jenny explained the history of Xi’an and the region. She is highly knowledgeable and speaks English perfectly clear. Once there she gave us a thorough tour. We continued discussion at lunch before going to see a show, then to a tour of the Xi’an City Wall and finished the day with snacks at the Muslim Quarter. Jenny never lost energy and gave us more than our money’s worth. Very highly recommended! more

Suggested Itinerary
Here is a suggested itinerary. We are happy to customize a tour according to your interests and schedule.
Tour Duration: 7 hours
In the morning, your private English-speaking guide will collect you from your hotel. The starting time is flexible for you to decide. Your guide will call you at the hotel one day in advance or leave a message to double-check the collection time with you.
Your guide and driver will transfer you directly to Lantau Island. Drive along Tsing Ma Bridge as you enjoy good views along the way to Lantau Island.
Visit Po Lin Monastery, one of Hong Kong's principal centers of Buddhism. It boasts the world's largest seated outdoor bronze Buddha statue on the mountain peak.
Take the Ngong Ping 360 cable car to have a dramatic view of the Big Buddha (one-way ticket is included).
Visit Ngong Ping Market, and enjoy a vegetarian lunch (at your own expense) at the monastery, which is famous for providing high quality Buddhist vegetarian cuisine in Hong Kong.
Continue to Tai O Fishing Village, where the traditional life on water is well-preserved. It's a little village with many houses built on stilts over the water. People get to their houses by walkways or by boats, so it's sometimes called the 'Venice' of Hong Kong, offering a glimpse into Hong Kong's past and provide a striking contrast with the modern city.
Then your guide and driver will send you back to your hotel.
