          Your tour guide will meet you at 7:30 a.m and you will have a day trip to Huxian county, a peasant painting paradise. This trip will open your horizon with all kinds of peasant paintings and local cultural & customs. Located in the southwest of Xian city, Huxian county is one of three side centers designed in the Xian International Metropolis Blueprint. It’s also famous for peasant paintings, traditional poems, and drum dance. The Peasant Painting is originated from traditional paper cutting and embroidery art in 1950s. Since the 1970s, it grows more popular and becomes one of the most influential hometown for peasant painting through the whole country, even in the world. In 1988, Huxian is officially named as “Hometown for China Modern Folk Painting”. In the last two decades, Huxian Peasant has produced about 30,000 masterpieces, of which over 1500 works were published in national periodicals, 428 paintings has been awarded in various art gallery, over 4500 pieces were displayed in other countries and regions, and over 18700 pieces were collected by foreign museums and private collectors. Sometimes, it is gifted to other state head as a token of friendship. Perhaps attributing to the long history and civilization of Xian city, the folklore art in this land was particularly featured with foreign essence and daily life. The topics are in various kinds and the painting itself are very vivid. The peasants were not only painting with their hands, but more importantly with their heart full of love for where they live.From its composition, color, style, and pattern, you can see the profound culture integrated with modern art. Just like the western folk song, the peasant painting aims to express the people’s passion and pursuit for better life. Nowadays, Huxian Peasant Paintings is gaining more fame with its distinct features of passionate color, rich imagination, simple style and common people-friendliness. If you ever take metro in China, you will see peasant painting everywhere. During the tour, you will have lunch at one of the farmers house and enjoy the most authentic local peasant food. After the tour, you will be transferred back to Xian city for rest.

          A great experience learning about the terracotta warriors and horses!
          Stefanie is a great guide and host. She made our group of seniors and young adults feel very at-home and well looked after. Her explanation of the sites were thorough and clear. We enjoyed ourselves and all went according to plan from the moment she and the driver picked us up till we return to the hotel.

          Great time getting to know Mount Hua :-)
          Views at Mt Hua were breathtaking and amazing. Stefanie was a great host and put in much effort to make our group of seniors and young adults enjoy our experience fully. Everything went as planned from the time she picked us up till we were back to our hotel. All of us had a great time, be it a slow leisurely walk or an exhilarating trek up the peaks of mount hua.

          Memorable Xi’an.
          Our trip was well managed by Stefanie. She is informative and responsive. Even if she did not know the answer she would research it before responding. Knowledgable, patient and punctual. She spent time with us instead of rushing and did not push to spend unnecessarily. An excellent tour guide with a wonderful personality.

          Excellent tour! We booked for the weekend and had an excellent time visiting Xian, terracota warriors, city wall, Silk Road dancing show and Hang Yangling National Archaeological Park. Stefanie taught us a lot about Xian's history and culture. She is a very kind and easygoing person, makes you feel very welcome and gives the best tips. And she even got us some cold beer in the hot weather! ❤️ Totally recommend her!

          Knowledgeable tour guide with great service mind
          Stefanie was our tour guide for our visit to Terracotta Army and Huaqing Palace. Since the beginning, we're picked up from our hotel to the tour car which was spacious, comfortable and clean and the driver was polite. As I'm really into history, I asked Stefanie a lot of questions regarding the attractions and Xi'an. Stefanie was very nice and knowledgeable in giving us a lot of introduction to not only our program destinations but also other Xi'an's relevant history. She also brought us to have a delicious meal at a good local restaurant. Although her English is not perfect, she used easy and comprehensible terms to explain and give us information well. Overall, I'm impressed by her great service mind and knowledge. Highly recommend!!

          Terra-cotta warriors & Silk-road show
          We (family with 2 kids 12&14) did the tour with Stephanie and also included the Silk Road Show afterwards. It was a well organized trip, including a comfortable car & good driver. We really enjoyed the day and can recommend the trip as a one-day tour. Thanks very much Stephanie for that gte day and insight into this part of Silk-road heritage!

          A new friend in XI'an!
          An amazing weekend in Xi’an with Stefanie! Stefanie was the best tour guide and made my trip stress free and full of wonderful memories. I was traveling alone with my two year old and Stefanie made it the entire trip so easy allowing me to enjoy the wonderful history in Xi’an. Stefanie promptly responded to my inquiry for a tour, and proposed a perfect itinerary suited for traveling with a young child. Stefanie greeted us at the train station, helped me check-in, and gave me a brief orientation of the area near my hotel pointing out the best restaurants and shops. Stefanie arranged all tickets to the attractions and shared amazing history and stories of all the places we visited (Terracotta army, Big Wild Goose Pagoda, City Walls, etc.). She went above and beyond making sure that my daughter and I were able to enjoy our time, she even delivered delicious dinner to our hotel when my daughter was too tired to finish our day!! All in all a perfect weekend and a new friend, I cannot recommend Stefanie enough for your trip to Xi’an!
