Best time to Visit

Good time to visit

Average time to visit

Xian and the surrounding regions experience four distinct seasons and a continental climate. Summers are hot and humid, with maximum temperatures often above 40°C, however the monsoon season brings plenty of rainfall to temper the scorching heat. Winters are cool and dry, and not unpleasant for exploring the sights of the region, but cold weather clothing and layers are advisable as temperatures drop to freezing. Spring is pleasantly warm, with gentle breezes and long sunny days, making March through to May the best times to visit Xian. Fall temperatures are similarly mild; however, September and October often bring frequent rain showers.

    Arriving into Handan or Zhengzhou airport, you will be transferred for your overnight stay in Anyang.

    Anyang is famed as the birthplace of the Chinese characters with some UNESCO-listed attractions. You will visit Yin Xu with its oracle bone inscriptions before heading to the Museum of Chinese Character to appreciate the evolution of writing history in ancient China, as well as the Yuanshikai Tomb.

  2. Days 2-5: Luoyang, China

    Dive deep into the ancient Chinese history of Luoyang, once serving as one of the Four Great Ancient Capitals of China.

    Your journey in Luoyang begins with a visit to the White Horse Temple, which is known as the cradle of Chinese Buddhism. Opened in 2019, we then make a visit to Erlitou Relic Museum to learn about the history of the Xia Dynasty, recorded among the very first Chinese dynasties. We continue through the beautiful Songshan Mountain to visit the famous Shaolin Temple with a private kung fu show included.
