Tour Itinerary
Tour Itinerary: (Lunch)In the morning hours you are taken from your hotel to the famous Famen Temple. Constructed during the Han Dynasty it is an extremely old Chinese tourist site. It is figured prominently in Tang times because emperors of the Tang Dynasty paid homage to the legendary "relic of the Buddha", or more specifically, "the finger-bone of the Buddha" that had been enshrined in the pagoda attached to this temple. Afterwards you will be taken to The Qianling Tomb and is about an hour's drive from Xian. The tomb contains both the Emperor Tan Gaozong and Empress Wu Zetian, both living almost 1400 years ago. Empress Wu Zetian was the only Empress in the history of China.
