Stay at Her Homestay (Guanshanyue Courtyard Homestay) When Visiting the Terracotta Warriors

[Rainbow] Close Proximity: Just a 2-minute walk from the homestay to the scenic area entrance. ❤️ Free Parking: You can park your car directly at the homestay, then walk to explore Mount Li Garden first. Afterward, take the free shuttle bus to the Terracotta Warriors burial pits for sightseeing, and return (also free) to the homestay before driving away (saving ¥40 on parking fees for both locations). 🌺 Great Value: Spacious, clean rooms with complete amenities, including disposable towels and bath towels. ❤️ Stunning Views: Sit on the terrace, gaze at Mount Li, admire the Qin Mausoleum, watch the sunset, and enjoy some tea... 🩷 Overnight at Guanshanyue Courtyard Homestay: Rest amidst mountains and rivers, listen to the whispers of history. Before coming to Xi'an, I was eagerly anticipating the awe of the Terracotta Warriors, but I never expected the homestay I stayed at to become the most surprising treasure of this trip. I chose it for its proximity to the Terracotta Warriors of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, thinking it would make travel convenient. Upon arrival, I realized I'd struck gold—just steps away from the Terracotta Warriors scenic area, a morning stroll would get me there. Even more breathtaking was opening the window or stepping onto the terrace, where the silhouette of the Qin Mausoleum and the verdant peaks of Mount Li filled my view. During the day, the homestay's courtyard is a stage for light and shadow. Stone paths lined with white pebbles, greenery peeking from corners, and sunlight casting a gentle glow over everything. The rooms are spotless, with bedding that smells of fresh sunshine. Large windows frame the scenery of the Qin Mausoleum and Mount Li like a painting. Sitting by the bed, watching clouds drift over Mount Li, I lost track of time. By evening, the terrace transforms into a "magical space." Set up a table and chairs, brew some tea, and watch the sunset drape the Qin Mausoleum in gold. The green of Mount Li deepens into ink, while clouds and occasional birds cut dynamic shapes across the sky. The evening breeze carries the dampness of the mountains, mingling with the faint aroma of tea, blending the weight of history with the lightness of nature. During the day, explore the Terracotta Warriors and touch the warmth of millennia-old history. In the evening, return to the homestay and embrace the romance of mountains, rivers, and sunsets. Here, history isn’t a distant tale—it’s a living fragment you can admire through the window or on the terrace, shared with nature. The wind from Mount Li, the shadow of the Qin Mausoleum, and every ray of light in the homestay whisper: You’ve come to the right place. This is how Lintong should be experienced—letting history dwell in daily life, letting mountains and rivers merge with time.

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
