Xi'an is one of the under-reported stories of Chinese industry: a city that has converted its engineering universities and military-aerospace inheritance into the country's strongest inland high-tech economy. This programme puts your delegation in the rooms where that happened — the High-Tech Zone's investment team, the BYD plant that builds a meaningful share of China's EVs, and the aerospace base's satellite and precision-engineering complexes.
The heritage day is on the schedule for a reason. The Terracotta Army is the earliest documented example of standardised mass production and quality grading in China — interchangeable parts, named foremen, verifiable output. The programme reads it as a management case, not a photo stop, and the evening's 'Song of Everlasting Sorrow' performance closes the thread with the Tang court's own economy of spectacle.
Enterprise visits are pre-arranged with briefing sessions and management exchange; we tailor the sector mix — semiconductor, aerospace, EV, defence-civil fusion — to your delegation's interest before confirmation. Interpreters are arranged as required.
Morning — Arrival and Transfer
Your guide and driver greet you at Xi'an Xianyang International Airport and transfer you by private vehicle to your hotel. The morning is kept light so you can recover from the overnight flight.
Afternoon — Welcome Briefing
A short briefing at the hotel sets the context for the days ahead: how Xi'an moved from the eastern terminus of the Silk Road to a modern industrial and logistics hub, and what the enterprise visits on this programme will show you.
Evening — Welcome Dinner
A welcome dinner introduces the group and the local hosts. Shaanxi cooking is the vehicle: cold noodles, lamb, and the wheat-based dishes that define the Guanzhong plain.
Meals
Breakfast, Dinner included.
Morning — Xi'an High-Tech Zone
Visit Xi'an High-Tech Zone for an executive briefing on China's technology ecosystem: semiconductors, artificial intelligence, software and the specific advantages an inland hub can offer.
Afternoon — BYD New Energy Vehicle Xi'an Base
Tour the BYD new energy vehicle production base in Xi'an: automated body lines, battery pack assembly and the vertical integration that has made the company the largest EV maker in the world by volume.
Evening — Dinner with Xi'an Tech Entrepreneurs
Business dinner with Xi'an technology entrepreneurs, with time to explore joint venture and supply chain questions directly.
Meals
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner included.
Morning — Terracotta Warriors: Lessons in Organisation
Visit the terracotta army with a business reading of the site: interchangeable parts, graded ranks, standardised measurement and a supply chain that delivered an army on schedule two centuries before the common era. A surprising amount of modern manufacturing logic is visible in the pits.
Afternoon — Huaqing and the Belt and Road Workshop
At Huaqing Hotsprings, hold a working session on the road from the ancient Silk Road to today's Belt and Road: what changed, what did not, and where the commercial corridors now run.
Evening — 'Song of Everlasting Sorrow'
The seasonal outdoor performance at Huaqing, a staging of the Tang dynasty's most famous love story against the real mountain and pools.
Meals
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner included.
Morning — Xi'an Aerospace Base
Visit the Xi'an Aerospace Base for a briefing on satellite technology, propulsion and precision engineering — the cluster that supplies a large share of China's space programme.
Afternoon — Shaanxi History Museum and Follow-up Meetings
Visit the Shaanxi History Museum, whose 370,000 objects run from the Palaeolithic to the Qing and give the province its long view. Free time afterwards for follow-up meetings.
Evening — Farewell Dinner and Business Summary
A farewell dinner with a business summary of the programme and a discussion of next steps.
Meals
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner included.
Morning — At Leisure
A free morning for meetings, packing or a final walk. Your guide remains available for anything arranged at short notice.
Afternoon — Transfer to the Airport
Your private vehicle transfers you to Xi'an Xianyang International Airport.
