Take a one-day trip to the western front, visit the tombs of Wu Zetian and Li Zhi, Tang Gaozong-Ganling and Famen Temple, which is famous for its possession of Buddha Sakyamuni, and return to Xi 'an for accommodation in the evening.
On the third day, Qin Shihuang Mausoleum-Terracotta Warriors-Huaqing Pool -Xi 'an Banpo Site
Visit the eastern route (if you go with a group, it will be badly cut, and it will cost at least twice as much money. I suggest you take bus No.307 at the railway station and take the expressway to the scenic spots on the east line. The round-trip fare is 15 yuan. In the morning, you can visit the Terracotta Warriors, the eighth wonder of the world. Visit Huaqing Pool in the afternoon, soak in hot springs, and return to Xi 'an in the evening. If you have time, you can visit the famous Banpo site.
