This private day tour starts with unhurried time at the Terracotta Warriors, timed to the museum's opening -- the quietest window of the day, before the tour buses arrive. Your guide walks you through Pits 1, 2 and 3 at your own pace. By early afternoon you're back in the city and you choose how to spend the rest of the day. Option A: Yuanjia Village Food City, where 100+ Shaanxi snacks are made by hand in front of you, then a hands-on panniu (frog-button) knot-tying lesson with our partner craftsperson at Datang Xishi, and a walk through one of Xi'an's oldest local markets at the foot of the city wall. Option B: a real Chinese e-bike -- not a pedal bike, not laps on top of the City Wall -- through the old city's backstreets with your guide beside you: the Bell Tower, street food in Huifang, Guangren Temple at dusk, and Jianguomen Old Market in neon. Fully private, and because it's private the start time flexes around you.

You probably didn’t come to Shanghai expecting to get your hands on a real Qing dynasty book — let alone help restore one. This is one of those experiences that’s genuinely hard to find: step inside a local antique shop, work with an authentic book page from the late Qing dynasty, and spend two quiet hours doing something almost completely removed from modern life. Just you, your hands, and a piece of the past. And this isn’t a replica or a craft made to look old. You’ll be working with the real thing — a page that has survived for more than a century — learning how to repair it using traditional conservation techniques under the guidance of a professional book conservator. The page stays with the collection, where your restoration becomes part of its continuing story. You won’t find this at the usual Shanghai attractions — and that’s exactly the point.
