After breakfast, continue your Xi’an exploration with our guide. Start from Big Wild Goose Pagoda, which houses the Buddhist materials that Xuanzang (Tripitaka) brought back from his epic journey to India.

Then you will be brought to a local family, where you will learn to make Chinese dumpling from dough making with the host. Try your work after the lesson and chat with the locals to get to know their life.

After some rest in the local family, go to Xinjiao Temple Pagoda. It was where the renowned monk Xuanzang (a traveller and translator of Buddhist culture in Tang Dynasty) passed away and then buried there.
