Xi'an Family Museums and Zoo

City wall cycling, the Shaanxi History Museum, an aquarium and Qinling Wildlife Park, a Xi'an route paced for children.

Stay in Qujiang, an open area that suits families with children. Day one covers evening cycling on the city walls and the Bell and Drum Towers. Day two combines the Shaanxi History Museum with Ocean Polar Park, and in the evening you can watch the musical fountain at the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. Day three is spent all day at Qinling Wildlife Park. The last day visits the Banpo Site and the Terracotta Army before you leave. Each day has only one main attraction, leaving time for an afternoon rest, which suits families with school-age children.

Midday in July and August is hot, so schedule the zoo and outdoor activities in the morning.
