No, you can go by yourselves except some historical sites such as the Terracotta Warriors. A guide is much helpful to know the background history.

Thanks Mr. Lin. Xian is included in my itinerary.I can still visit the Terracotta Warriors just by myself (as you have mentioned a guide is helpful for the background history)?

Hi, Bench. I suggest you to hire an English-speaking guide when you visit the Terracotta Warriors. You can go to the tourist service center in the museum to find a guide. I went to Terracotta Warrior in 2004 but I did not hire a guide at that time, when I saw the terracotta warrior, I just did not understand and felt very dull. Later I searched for the information and found actually there were many historical knowledge behind. So a guide is much better and makes your journey more valuable I think.

Thanks for the info. Cheers
