3-Day Xi'an Silk Road Odyssey

Enter at dawn with warriors as silent sentinels. A curator deciphers faded armor pigments over Krug Brut, before descending into a sealed excavation chamber. Dine on Han-era pheasant stuffed with Song dynasty spices, paired with wines from the emperor’s lost vineyards.

Let vintage engines growl you to the Wall's wildest vertebrae. At the zenith watchtower, sip Ming-style tea infused with night-blooming cereus as the ramparts dissolve into star trails. Then, walk the battlements guided by 8th-century astrolabe replicas, your gloved hand tracing grooves left by soldiers' swords. 

When stalls empty, enter through a Yuan dynasty courtyard. A chef-spicer crafts your "Silk Road Tasting Menu": camel hump tartare with black vinegar pearls, noodles laced with digitalis petals. Each course paired with liquors from Tang tombs or Tibetan monasteries.

Cloaked in imperial brocade, ascend Dayan Pagoda’s forbidden tiers as bronze bells mark the ghost hour. Below, musicians play reconstructed Tang scores on excavated pipa and sheng. Compose poetry with "drunken scholars" while balancing firewine cups on sword blades.

Submerge in Yang Guifei’s geothermal springs at midnight. Chrysanthemum petals float on obsidian-black waters as therapists apply gold-needle moxibustion. Conclude with a longevity banquet served on floating stone tablets, each dish infused with terracotta "immortality" minerals.
