    Background

    Meet your guide in the heart of Xi’an, a vibrant, ancient city that once marked the end of the legendary Silk Road. Ride a private tuk-tuk down winding lanes and picturesque alleys within the Xi’an City Wall as you listen to the history of the city and hear about its diverse food traditions. Whether it’s sitting by an old man grilling meat over coals in a quaint Muslim Quarter alleyway, enjoying the best dumplings in a local hotspot, watching noodles hand-pulled to order, or trying a variety of classic Shaanxi dishes in a hidden courtyard restaurant, there is something to try for everyone. The experience will finish at a local brewery in Xi'an to sample what’s on tap before we treat you to a pint of your choice.
