The Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang in Xi'an

The Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang covers an area of ​​56.25 square kilometers. Including the Terracotta Warriors, less than one ten-thousandth of it has been excavated so far, and it is still under exploration and evaluation. The Qin Shihuang Mausoleum Museum is divided into two parts, namely the Terracotta Warriors and Mount Li. The Terracotta Warriors have three pits, and Pit 1 is the largest. It is very shocking. The textbooks I read in elementary school were not deceiving me, but they were still too conservative. The actual visit made me feel that it was even more magnificent! The average height of the Terracotta Warriors in Pit 1 is 1.8 meters. Each person's appearance, expression, height, and clothing are different. They are not cast from real people. After detection, there is no human tissue inside. They are all built according to the actual appearance of real people, and they are all replicated by soldiers with tall, sturdy height and strong combat effectiveness. The teacher said that only 1/3 of Pit 1 has been excavated so far. Pit 3 is young and mainly displays the meeting scenes within the army. You can see that the floor tiles stepped on by the Terracotta Warriors are all made of ancient brick-making technology, sticky rice + x, not modern ones, and are very precious! Not much was dug in Pit No. 2. The instructor said that this might be all we have in this lifetime, digging 1 millimeter at a time [Facepalm]. It is so precious. You must go to Mount Li, the bronze painted chariot and horses are particularly worth seeing, which is the largest, most complex and most complete ancient chariot and horses unearthed in the history of Chinese archaeology. It is known as the "Crown of Bronze" and is a national first-class cultural relic. Finally, take a look at the Terracotta Warriors and Horses unearthed from Pit 0666. They are tall and strong, and there is one with "painted eyebrows and colorful eyes". In fact, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses were all colored when they were unearthed, and they were painted with minerals. The incomparable Terracotta Warriors and Horses represent the greatest emperor of all time, Qin Shihuang.

Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum - Lishan Garden

Step into a legend—Xi’an’s Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor delivers awe with ancient grandeur! 🌄 Immerse yourself in the world’s largest tomb, uncovering the secrets behind the clay army and marveling at restoration that spans millennia. Start your journey at the Tomb of Prisoners inside the Mausoleum, where the very scale hints at history’s ambition. Then stroll to the Bronze Chariot and Horse of Qinling for up-close views—these intricately crafted displays truly reveal the artistry of ancient China (bring your zoom lens for close-up detail shots!). Next, head to Terra-Cotta Warriors Pit No.1 (best entry Mar–July: 08:30–18:30, July–Aug: 08:00–19:30), where the sea of warriors in battle formation stuns with lifelike features—early morning is your golden hour for crowd-free “insta-worthy” panoramas. Continue to No.3 Pit nearby (open 09:00–16:00 all year), smaller but rich in rare relics, perfect for tight shots of restored faces and armor. Don’t skip Lishan Garden: wander landscaped paths for tranquil views, especially at sunset when the tombs backdrop glows. 📝 Essentials: Tickets often sell out—book ahead for peak times. Photo ops abound, but flash is forbidden inside the exhibition halls. Give yourself 3–4 hours to appreciate details; wear comfy shoes, since grounds are expansive and a lot of terrain is outdoors. 🌟 Insider tip: To truly appreciate the level of restoration, seek out exhibits showing “before and after”—the contrast is jaw-dropping. It’s humbling to consider these wonders are still waiting for their full glory to be revived. Engage a guide to interpret the details. #XiAn #TerracottaWarriors #AncientChina #MuseumDay #BucketList
