⏳ A army frozen in time: What to expect from your visit to Terracotta Warriors

#cherryblossom2024 This visit was one of the most anticipated by me. These warriors arouses everybody curiosity. 🤔 Why were they built? 🫨 How long did it take? 🤯 How were they discovered? ⛔️ I will not give you spoilers. You must visit and figure out by yourself, just because it’s more magical like that ✨ ✅ what to expect then: The place is not that big, you can see all the 3 pits within 2 hours. First, go straight to pit 1. It is where most of the warriors are. It also includes the warriors “hospital”, where you can see them laying on literally hospital stretchers (that’s a bit funny 😁), but it’s a really serious work to repair all the broken ones 🫡 ✅ only ONE among thousands of warriors is intact. That one is exposed in a glass display. It’s called “the lucky warrior”. You can see all details up close 🧡 😋 you must try the warrior ice cream. It’s delicious and cute. ❌ After visiting the 3 pits. You can go to the emperor mausoleum. But don’t expect to see his tomb. You will not have access to it. Instead, there are the 2 carriages with bronze horses that you might like to see🐴 I don’t think it’s with though. 💛💛💛 additional tip 💛💛💛 If you are lucky one of the persons who first discovered the warriors sometimes is there selling some books. You can stop by and say hello 👋 #historicallandmarks #mytravelhacks #terracottaarmy #terracottawarriors

Unearthing Ancient Wonders at Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum 🏺🗺️ Get ready to dive into Xi'an’s fascinating history at the legendary Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum, home of the world-renowned Terracotta Army! Stand face-to-face with thousands of life-sized clay soldiers that have guarded China’s first emperor for over two millennia. 🤩 Start your journey by heading straight to Pit 1 – this is the grandest excavation pit and truly jaw-dropping with row upon row of warriors and horses. Next, visit Pits 2 and 3 to spot unique figures like archers and generals. The Bronze Chariot Hall features brilliantly restored war chariots and is a must-see for ancient engineering buffs. 📸 Insta-worthy spots: - Capture the army’s symmetry from the front railings in Pit 1. - Zoom in on detailed features—every warrior has a different face! - Outside, the museum gate and entrance statues make for epic photo backdrops. 🕒 Visiting Tips: - Early mornings or late afternoons are best to avoid crowds. - Photography is allowed, but flashes and tripods are not. - Grab an audio guide for fascinating backstories about the emperor and the tomb’s discovery—it makes the visit much more immersive! ⚠️ Precautions: - Wear comfortable shoes; you’ll be doing plenty of walking. - Mind your valuables in busy areas—pickpockets can target crowds. - If visiting in summer (Jul–Aug), arrive early and hydrate, as Xi’an temperature soars. Don’t just see history—step into it! #XiAn #TerracottaArmy #AncientChina #MuseumGuide #TravelTips
