Meal: Qianling Mausoleum Exploration
Depart from your downtown Xi'an hotel in the morning by private chartered car and head to the Tang imperial mausoleum group in Qianxian County. Arrive at the core landmark Qianling Mausoleum first, which is the joint burial mausoleum of Emperor Gaozong of Tang and Empress Wu Zetian, and the only well-preserved dual-royal mausoleum in China. Spend about 2.5 hours visiting the whole scenic area. Walk along the grand sacred avenue lined with orderly stone statues, including the famous Wordless Stele and Sixty-One Foreign Envoys Statues. Appreciate the magnificent mountain mausoleum layout and superior Fengshui pattern, and listen to historical stories of Wu Zetian's era and Tang royal burial system.
Visiting Princess Yongtai Tomb
Next, take a short drive to the adjacent Princess Yongtai Tomb. Arrange around 1.5 hours for in-depth exploration. As a high-grade Tang noble tomb with complete underground structures, it features accessible tomb passages, exquisite niche carvings and well-preserved ancient murals. The lifelike palace figure paintings and decorative patterns fully reflect the prosperous art level and elegant social style of the early Tang Dynasty, offering an intuitive view of Tang royal life.
Famen Temple Cultural Scenic Area
In the afternoon, continue driving to Famen Temple Cultural Scenic Area, which takes about one hour on the way. Spend nearly 3 hours visiting this millennium Buddhist ancestral temple known as "the earliest Buddhist temple in Guanzhong". Wander the ancient temple area with ancient cypresses and solemn Buddha halls, visit the grand Hesha Stupa and spacious Buddha avenue. Focus on exploring the Famen Temple Treasure Museum and the underground palace site, where countless rare Tang Dynasty gold and silver wares, glazed artifacts and Buddha relics are collected. If you are lucky, you can witness the sacred display of the Buddha's finger bone relic and feel the profound Buddhist cultural heritage.
After finishing the full-day cultural pilgrimage, take a private car to return to downtown Xi'an, ending the exclusive and profound Tang Dynasty imperial and Buddhist culture one-day tour.

Questions About the Itinerary

Please see our answers below:

Combining Yangshuo Tour with Other Destinations
Hi Amara,
Thank you for your message! The ideal length of stay in Yangshuo depends on your travel style, but we're happy to share some suggestions.
1. A one-day trip is enough to experience the most iconic highlights, including the Yulong River scenery, West Street area, and countryside landscapes. It is a great option for travelers staying in Guilin with limited time.
2. Longji and Yangshuo are located in different directions, so combining both in one day would make the schedule too rushed. We usually recommend arranging them as separate day trips or adding an extra night.
3. If you have more time, staying overnight allows you to enjoy Yangshuo's relaxed evening atmosphere, local restaurants, and countryside scenery without rushing back to Guilin.
Questions About Sunrise, Photography & Best Hiking Route
Hi Isolde,
Thank you for your message! We're glad to hear that you're interested in this Huangshan journey. Huangshan is one of the best destinations in China for sunrise and landscape photography, and we'd be happy to help you arrange a route that balances beautiful views and comfortable walking.
1. The sunrise viewpoint depends on your hotel location and weather conditions, but popular options include Bright Summit and areas near Beihai.
2. Yes, we can adjust the route according to your interests. Bright Summit is one of Huangshan’s classic viewpoints, while Xihai Scenic Area offers some of the most dramatic mountain landscapes. We can recommend the best combination based on your hiking preference and available time.
3. The hiking distance depends on the route selected. The classic Back Mountain route after taking the Yungu Cable Car is relatively comfortable, while some areas such as Xihai involve more stairs and longer walking. Our guide can help adjust the pace during the tour.
4. Usually, we recommend starting early to enjoy the quieter mountain atmosphere and better lighting for photography. The exact timing will depend on the sunrise time and weather conditions.
We hope you enjoy capturing the most beautiful moments of Huangshan!
