8 Unforgettable Things To Do In Xian with Kids
The Best Xian Attractions For Your Family Travel
A visit to the Terracotta Warriors is one of the best things to do in Xian with kids. There is over 8000 statues. See if the kids can find 2 that look alike as it is said they are all unique! The story is quite fascinating. They were created in honor of the first emperor of Qin and buried with him when he died so that he could rule another empire in his afterlife. They were discovered a few years back by some farmers in the area. Some days you can even meet the farmers at the site! There are also chariots and animal statues here too. The excavation is on going. What a great history lesson for the kids! Head to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in the evening and the kids will love the water fountain show. The water jets are synchronized to music and they light up. This is one of the interesting things to do in Xian with toddlers, babies and kids. It is a festive atmosphere here with people dancing! 
Eating the tasty Chinese cuisine will be one of the highlights of your trip! Dumplings, hot pot and Peking duck are some of the tasty
Chinese food for kids
to sample on your vacation. You can also find lots of noodle and rice based dishes. Go biking on the city wall. Your kids will love biking on this 14 km wall. You will have great views of the city below. There are tandem bikes available too if you have always wanted to ride a bicycle built for two for a bit of fun! There are no child seats available on the bikes. However, you can take the electric car around the wall if you are traveling with small children. My kids loved this active and unique Xi'an activity.
Louguantai Panda Preserve is about an hour away from Xian. There are 15 pandas there as well as some monkeys, birds and other animals. If you are not going to see the pandas in Chengdu then don't miss out on the chance to see them here. They really are fascinating to watch! My youngest daughter begged to bring a panda home with her. This is one of the fun things to do in Xian with kids.Tang Paradise is a cultural theme park representing the Tang Dynasty. It has many beautiful gardens to explore. In the evening you can see the water movie. It is really well done and a unique experience. The screen is a film of water which creates optical illusions. Head to Xingqing park where you can stroll around the park with your babies and toddlers. Kids can play on the play equipment. Go in the early morning to watch the locals practicing tai chi. Toddlers can run around and burn off that energy. It is quite relaxing and a great place to unwind. We ended up coming here most days just for a bit of a break. Stroll through the Muslim Quarter and do some souvenir shopping at the markets and grab a bite to eat. Teenagers will have a blast as they bargain for their goods. My teen daughter got a whole new wardrobe here-she was very happy!!
