[2025 Xi'an Attraction] Travel Guide for Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum (Updated Apr)

1. Transportation Tips: Efficient and Direct Routes Subway: Take Subway Line 9 to Huaqing Pool Station in downtown Xi'an, then transfer to Bus No. 613 directly to the scenic spot. The whole journey takes about 1.5 hrs. Direct Bus: Take the official white Bus No. 5 (306) at the east square of the train station. Look for the "Bus" sign to avoid unofficial taxis. Parking by Car: Navigate to "Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum Parking Lot". The official parking fee is CNY 20 per entry. Private parking lots around are prone to price gouging. 2. Visiting Tips: Off-Peak Travel + In-Depth Exploration Golden Hours: Enter the park immediately after it opens at 8:30 am, or enter after 3:00 pm to avoid large tour groups. The slanted light at 4:00 pm in autumn is the perfect time to capture the light and shadow of the Terracotta Army. Visiting Routes: Classic Route: Pit No. 1 (panoramic view of the main army) → Pit No. 2 (kneeling archers, green-faced warriors) → Pit No. 3 (command center) → Bronze Chariots and Horses Exhibition Hall (peak of bronze craftsmanship). Photography Route: Capture the depth from the side railings of Pit No. 1, use a hat to block the glass reflection at the Bronze Chariots and Horses for detailed shots, and take photos with the souvenir ice cream and the back of the Terracotta Army. Must-Try Experiences: Official guided tour (CNY 90 for 1-5 people) or rent an audio guide (CNY 40/unit) to unlock interesting facts about the warriors' expressions, army formations, and more. Archaeological Observation Area: Watch the restoration process on-site and experience the craftsmanship of bringing cultural relics "back to life". 3. Pitfalls to Avoid: Protect Your Wallet Ticket Traps: Book tickets only through the official WeChat public account "Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum" (CNY 120/person for off-season, CNY 150/person for peak season). Do not trust scalpers. Shopping Traps: Most of the "Lantian Jade" at the entrance of the scenic spot are fake, and the quality of souvenir figures is poor. It is recommended to buy genuine souvenirs at the cultural and creative store inside the museum. Dining Traps: Avoid the unpriced "farmhouse dishes" at the entrance of the scenic spot (CNY 58 for a bowl of noodles). Take a 10-min taxi ride to "Daiwang Street" for authentic Big Plate Chicken (CNY 30/person) and Persimmon Pancakes (CNY 3/piece). 4. Hidden Gems: Niche Experiences for Insiders Night Light Show: The scenic spot opens at night with light and shadow projections, recreating the magnificent scene of the Qin army formation. Fewer crowds and beautiful scenery. VR Experience (optional): Immersive exploration of the Qin Mausoleum for CNY 68/person. Controversial but visually stunning. Interactive Fun: Squat down and "look at" the Terracotta Army, capturing the unique micro-expressions of each warrior. Share on social media for countless likes. 5. Practical Tips: Details Make the Difference Clothing Suggestions: Wear sneakers! You'll walk over 20,000 steps in the scenic spot. Bring sunglasses and a small fan in summer, and gloves in winter. Personal Gear: Bring your own water bottle (there are drinking water fountains in the museum) and snacks (food inside the scenic spot is expensive). Take your trash with you. Safety Notice: Keep your phone and wallet safe in crowded areas. Be careful of the slippery walkways in Pit No. 2. 📸 Captions for Social Media: "Traveling through two thousand years, I had a conversation with the silent legion. Each terracotta warrior is a messenger of history." "In front of Pit No. 1, where light and shadow intertwine, I understood the ambition of the Qin Dynasty and the persistence of the craftsmen." "Avoiding the crowds, I enjoyed the sunset with the Qin warriors. At this moment, I seemed to hear the neighing of warhorses." Must-See Before Departure: Pay attention to the official announcements of the scenic spot. Bring rain gear on rainy days. Book tickets 7 days in advance during peak season! Thousands of years of history are within reach. May your Terracotta Army trip be unforgettable~ 🏺✨

Recently, the Terracotta Warriors have been extremely crowded 🥲 😅 Most tourists see nothing but crowds at the Terracotta Warriors, which greatly affects their mood, right? 🔴 But today we successfully avoided the crowd, as you can see from the photos, there were almost no tourists. ✔️ How can you avoid the crowds? 1️⃣ Lishan Garden ① Arrive at Lishan Garden Scenic Area at 1 PM ② Follow this route in Lishan Garden: Hall 9901 - Hall 0006 - Bronze Chariot - Civil Officer Hall ③ The total time spent in Lishan Garden is about 3 hours. (3 hours includes the explanation time. If you don't listen to the explanation, you can finish quickly, but it is still recommended to hire a guide, otherwise, it would be quite boring to just look around by yourself.) ④ Since the distance between each exhibition hall in Lishan Garden is very far, don't forget to buy a shuttle bus ticket, 15 yuan/person. 2️⃣ Terracotta Warriors ① Return to the Terracotta Warriors Museum from Lishan Garden, you can rest at the visitor center for a while, and head to the Terracotta Warriors around 4:30 PM. ② The Terracotta Warriors require two ticket checks, and the last ticket check time for the venue is 5 PM, so you need to complete the ticket check before 5 PM. ③ After the ticket check, enter the second ticket gate, and first go to the Rare Birds Hall on the right. At this time, the tour groups are still heading to Pit 1. To avoid the tour groups, we first go to the Rare Birds Hall, which often has various temporary exhibitions. The exhibits are frequently changed and are all rare treasures of the Terracotta Warriors, worth seeing. ④ Around 5:30 PM, the park will broadcast an announcement asking visitors to leave the museum. Ignore it, the museum closes at 7 PM, so feel free to continue your visit. ⑤ Around 5:50 PM, you can start visiting Pit 1, as the tour groups have mostly left. ⑥ Visit Pit 3 ⑦ Finally, visit Pit 2.

Visiting the Terracotta Army definitely requires a good strategy‼️ Pay attention if you're planning to go. It's really inconvenient for friends from other places to visit the Terracotta Army, as it's more than 30 kilometers from the city center😳 The journey takes about half an hour, and it can be really tiring if not planned well. 💪 As a local, I've written a super comprehensive guide for everyone📝 If you come across this, make sure to save and pin it. 💟Transportation: Subway: Line 9 to Huaqingchi Station Exit C, then transfer to bus 602 or 613 to Qin Yong Village. 💟Direct bus: The cost is 30 RMB per person, including a guide. It's available near the Bell Tower at the Yisu Grand Theater; Tonghuamen Subway Station Exit D; and the Vienna Hotel near the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. Buses run from 8 am to 2 pm, every half hour. 💟Ticket prices: Adults 120 RMB/person, students 60 RMB/person (with a certificate from the student network), and free for those under 16 years old. 💟Guided tours: It's highly recommended to listen to a guided tour when visiting the Terracotta Army, as it allows for a deeper understanding of the relevant history and the historical significance represented by the different forms of the warriors. I was truly amazed while listening😱 You can find an official guide, usually for 30 RMB per person. Keep walking to the very end where it says 'official guides' to find a guide~ Otherwise, you'll just be wandering around without any real experience. 💟Visiting order: Pit 1👉 Pit 3👉 Pit 2 Pit 1 to see the overall layout, Pit 3 to see the arrangement, and Pit 2 to see the details~ ✅Pit 1 The location where the Terracotta Army was first discovered, with rows of soldier statues, chariots, and infantry squads in the middle, burying about 6,000 terracotta warriors and horses, as well as a large number of bronze weapons. ✅Pit 2 The layout inside the pit is complex, with a more complete range of troops. Most of the promotional images are taken inside Pit 2, which is the essence of the Terracotta Army pits. Some areas are still under development, with archaeologists working on restoration. ✅Pit 3 Smaller in scale, it served as the military command post for Pits 1 and 2. ✅Bronze Chariot and Horses The most complex structure and the most complete harnessing system of ancient chariots and horses, known as the 'crown of bronze'. ⚠️The most important thing is to manage your time well if you want to visit Lishan Garden. It takes about two hours to visit the Terracotta Army, and then you'll need to queue for Lishan Garden. The place isn't too crowded recently, but it's best to go early during the peak season, as it's impossible to get in at noon. If you find it troublesome, you can also opt for a one-day tour, which takes care of everything, haha.

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.

As Qin Shihuang's underground army, the eighth wonder of the world. How can you come to Xi'an and not see the Terracotta Warriors! ! ! The following is a summary I made overnight after personally stepping on many landmines 🚫 A small guide to perfectly avoid crowds during the summer vacation. Those who want to visit the Terracotta Warriors can refer to it✔️ About tickets: 1. Adults: 120/person, students: 60/person. Directly search the official account "Qin Shi Huangdi Mausoleum Museum" to make reservations and purchase tickets in advance. The time choice is just an approximate time period. The specific entry into the park will not be affected. As long as it is a ticket for that day, it will be fine. ⚠️⚠️The Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum and the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum Site Park (also known as Lishan Garden) together constitute the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum Museum. The 120 Terracotta Warriors and Horses ticket includes Lishan Garden. The Terracotta Warriors and Horses are 1.5 kilometers away from Lishan Garden. Both stop admission at 5 o'clock. If you go to Lishan Garden, the 120 ticket includes transportation within the scenic area. ⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️About routes to avoid crowds🚶: Route 1️⃣: Must enter as the first batch at 8:30 (actually the first gate at 8:15 It will open early, so go to queue up before 8 o'clock at the latest). After entering the door, don't take the battery car 🚗, go directly to Pit No. 1, which is faster than taking the battery car! ‼ ️‼ ️It is recommended to visit Pit No. 1➡️Pit No. 3➡️Pit No. 2, and then go straight to the gate to take the electric car to Lishan Garden. Route 2️⃣: If you arrive at the square at 12:30, don't go to the Terracotta Warriors first, otherwise you will just see people following the crowd... It is recommended to go directly to Lishan Garden, where there are fewer people. Leave Lishan Garden at around 3 o'clock and go to the visitor center to rest in the air conditioning. Wait until 4 o'clock and enter the Terracotta Warriors and Horses directly without queuing. Note that ticket checking will stop at 5 o'clock so as not to miss the time. Then go upstream with the main group to see Pit 2, Pit 3, and Pit 1. About the tour guide: Personally, I suggest hiring a tour guide for a better experience, otherwise all you’ll see is a bunch of people and a pile of dirt… Of course, the premise is that the tour guide must be reliable✔️You can also hire a tour guide, which is more cost-effective. About the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum Scenic Area: ✅There are currently three burial pits open in the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum, among which Pit 1 is the most spectacular and the largest; the exhibition hall of Pit 2 displays several terracotta warriors that often appear on TV. Pit 3 is smaller in area and mainly displays general figurines. Pit 1 has no air conditioning but only ceiling fans, while the other two have air conditioning. ✅Lishan Garden is a heritage park developed by excavating the surrounding burial pits with the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum as the center. The famous bronze chariot and horses are in Lishan Garden. About food: Coming out of the Terracotta Warriors, on the east side is the large Terracotta Warriors Square, where there are many delicious foods, a large number of cultural and creative products, and many performing arts programs. About transportation: ✅If you drive by yourself, if it is difficult to park in the scenic area parking lot during the peak tourist season, you can choose to park in the farmhouses on both sides of the road not far from the entrance of the scenic area. The general charge is 20 yuan and there is no time limit. ✅If you don't drive yourself, it is recommended to take the subway 🚇+taxi 🚗, take it to Qinling West subway station, and then take a taxi to the scenic area. Same as the return trip, be careful of illegal taxis here‼ ️

Take the subway to Huaqingchi Station and then transfer to bus 613 (￥5) to the Qin Shi Huangdi Mausoleum Museum. On the way, order tickets on the WeChat official account (￥120) and enter directly with your ID. After entering the park, take the battery car (￥5) to Pit 1. According to the guide, you must find the official explanation after entering the site, so I went to the guide counter with the two couples I met on the bus after entering the site to join a small group of 5 people (￥90/5 people + headset fee ￥8/person = ￥26/person) As soon as we entered Pit 1, there were so many people that we couldn't get close to the fence. The tour guide urged us to go in and take pictures, and then he hurriedly led us forward. On the way, he gave us some superficial introductions. After more than half an hour of visiting Pit 1, Pit 3, and Pit 2, he told us that the tour was over. I was a little dumbfounded. Later, I simply walked back and forth by myself (2→3→Pit 1). Along the way, due to the large number of people, I occasionally stopped by the tour guide. I found that other tour guides explained in much more detail, but our tour guide skipped many explanation points and didn't introduce them. I didn't expect that I would still step on the thunder after finding an official tour. Fortunately, I walked again by myself, circled each pit, and saw the progress of the entire excavation and restoration project more completely. Take the free shuttle bus to Lishan Garden (with Terracotta Warriors ticket) at the Terracotta Warriors exit, then take the scenic battery car (¥15) to enter the park, visit K9901 Funeral Pit → Bronze Chariot and Horse Museum → K0006 Funeral Pit in order. You must go around to see the exquisite bronze chariot After walking through the two parks, I was really amazed at the grandeur of Qin Shihuang in building the mausoleum and the superb skills of the craftsmen at that time. Although the Terracotta Warriors and Horses are as crowded as the Shaanxi Museum, they are both worth a visit. #2月好地方2025

❤️Lishan Garden is one of the two major scenic spots of the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum Museum, and together with the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum, it constitutes the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum Museum. Here is the mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, the greatest emperor of all time, and the largest imperial mausoleum in Chinese history. 🧡It is called Lishan Garden because the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor was built on Mount Li, which is also known as Mount Li. The Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor was named "Lishan" after the mountain, and the mausoleum was called "Lishan Garden". The name "Lishan Garden" is also engraved on the unearthed cultural relics. 💛There are four tourist attractions in Lishan Park, namely the Terracotta Warriors Pit, the Bronze Chariot and Horse Museum, the Civil Officials Pit, and the Qin Shihuang Emperor's Mausoleum Mound. Among them, the bronze chariot and horses are national treasures, known as the "Crown of Bronze", and are prohibited from being exhibited abroad. This is the 37th national treasure. ‼ ️Guide information: ✅Tickets: 120 yuan, Qin Shihuang Mausoleum Museum package, including Qin Shihuang Mausoleum Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum. ✅Sightseeing bus ticket🎫: 15 yuan per person ✅Transportation🚍: After visiting the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum, there is a free bus to Lishan Garden. ✅ Tour sequence👉: K9901 Hundred Opera Terracotta Warriors Pit→Bronze Chariot and Horse Museum→K0006 Civil Official Terracotta Warriors Pit→Mound of Qin Shi Huang Emperor’s Mausoleum ‼ ️Guide points: 1⃣ Be sure to take the battery car. The attractions are far apart. If you walk, your feet will be tired and it will also waste time. 2⃣The last stop of the sightseeing bus is the imperial mausoleum mound, but the strange thing is that you can only get off here but not get on. If you want to visit the imperial mausoleum mound, you can only walk out by yourself after the visit. 3⃣ Many people think that the burial mound is not worth visiting, but I personally recommend that you must visit it. If you don’t see the burial mound, it’s like coming here in vain. It’s about 500 meters from the burial mound to the sightseeing bus hourly station. 4⃣The Bronze Chariot and Horse Museum is the top priority for visiting. In addition to the Bronze Chariot and Horse No. 1 "Li Chariot" and the Bronze Chariot and Horse No. 2 "An Chariot", there are many unearthed cultural relics. 5⃣The scenic area provides free interpretation services. After getting off the sightseeing bus at each scenic spot, there will be official interpreters to receive you. Be careful not to be fooled by the wild tour guides at the entrance of the scenic area.

When I visited Xi'an to see the Terracotta Warriors, I was first overwhelmed by their scale. Thousands of soldier statues are lined up, and it is as if an ancient army has come back to life. Each one has a different expression and posture, and you can see that they have been carefully crafted down to the smallest detail. I felt the weight of history and was enveloped in the sensation of traveling through time. Considering that the Terracotta Warriors are part of the tomb of Qin Shi Huang, the First Emperor of China, I couldn't help but be impressed by the depth of the technology and culture of that time. Advance reservations are required, and after presenting your passport at the entrance gate, it is about a 15-minute walk from there. #0yentravelautumn

Lishan Garden Tour Sequence: Exhibition Hall 9901 - Bronze Chariot Exhibition Hall - Exhibition Hall 0006. The most expensive car in the world is right here! You must take the shuttle bus from the left side of the main entrance. 1. Terracotta Warriors Tour Sequence: Pit 1 - Pit 3 - Pit 2. ★ Pit 1 is the largest, featuring warrior figures, chariots, and infantry formations. ★ Pit 2 has a richer display, offering more photo opportunities and allowing children to observe the terracotta warriors up close, even the hair details are clear, which is impressive! ★ Pit 3 is the military command center. It is recommended to find a guide for a better educational experience for children. After the tour, it will be just around noon, perfect for grabbing a meat sandwich at the food street. Huaqing Palace is one of the four great royal gardens of ancient China, with a history spanning over a thousand years. Emperors from the Zhou, Qin, Han, Sui, and Tang dynasties built their palaces and gardens here. The love story of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and Yang Guifei, as well as the site of the Xi'an Incident, have made it famous both domestically and internationally! Be sure to watch a performance of 'The Song of Everlasting Sorrow' when you visit! In the summer, Huaqing Palace is filled with greenery, with various long corridors, ancient pavilions, small bridges, and flowing water, making it perfect for a set of Hanfu photos. Every shot captures the essence of ancient style.

Departure time: You can go as early as possible! It takes 2 hours from the city to the Terracotta Warriors and Horses. I chose the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Lishan Garden (at 9:30 in the morning), or you can go to the Lishan Garden (at 1 p.m.) and the Terracotta Warriors and Horses (at 4:30 in the afternoon). The latter Travel during off-peak hours, but be sure to join the queue for the Terracotta Warriors before 4:30. You will not be admitted after 5:00. transportation: Take the subway to Huaqingchi Station and exit from Exit C. Go up the escalator and walk ten meters straight ahead to bus stop 613/602: (1) Take 613 (private car, five yuan per person), scan the QR code to pay, and there are seats. (2) Wait for 602 (bus, two yuan per person), scan the traffic code, and take the bus to Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses Station. The arrival time of both is the same. Don’t be frightened by the many stops of 602. There is no one getting on or off at the later stations. Go directly to the Terracotta Warriors and Horses. Staff of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses and Shaanxi locals all take 602, but there may be no seats available. Take the subway to Huaqingchi Station and take Didi directly to the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum for about 15 yuan. Don’t take a private car! There are fake terracotta warriors! Try not to take the tourist bus that goes directly into the city, as there are huge traffic jams. Try not to be deceived by any roadside shortcuts to scenic spots. My strategy must be the most economical and labor-saving! Qin Shihuang Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum: About the explanation: The explanation at the door is uneven and unnecessary. But not listening to the explanation is equivalent to seeing through the pit? Here’s the point! Download the explanation in advance on station B (pit 1 in the first half hour, pit 3 in about 40 minutes, and pit 2 in about 49 minutes). Follow the order of pits 1-3-2, go to which pit, open station B (remember to recognize the subtitles, there will be subtitles), put on the headphones, it is no better than a casual explanation. You have to go through two ticket gates to visit the Terracotta Warriors and Horses. After entering the first ticket gate, you don’t need to take a battery car. You can go directly and get to the second ticket gate in five minutes. Terracotta Warriors and Horses—Lishan Garden Eating: Weijia Liangpi, the price in the scenic area does not increase. I bought a beef burger and a roujiamo and a portion of Liangpi only costs 34 yuan! If you want a bicycle, it is not more cost-effective than other small shops without brands. Go back to the sculpture opposite the entrance of Qinshihuang Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum and take the shuttle bus. If you want to eat Weijia Liangpi, turn left when you go out. If there are too many people waiting in line for the shuttle bus, there is no need to wait in line. Take bus 602 at the stop opposite the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum, it costs 2 yuan per person, and get off at the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang. If you go back to the city directly from the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang, don’t go in when you see the food street after exiting the Terracotta Warriors and Horses. You can turn right and leave Didi. It will take at least half an hour to walk out. Just search for "East side of Qin Terracotta Police Station" at the boarding point, then follow the map to the boarding point and wait for the bus. (If the security guard says there is no road, ignore it. If the driver stops you, run as close as possible to the driver). If you have good physical strength: The walk from Terracotta Warriors and Horses to Lishan Garden is about 2km and takes half an hour.

🤖Most routes are to visit the Terracotta Warriors first (divided into two parks: the Terracotta Warriors Pit and the Lishan Garden), then go to Huaqing Hot Spring, and watch "Song of Everlasting Regret" at night. In order to avoid the crowds and for personal preference (climb the Beacon Tower and not watch Song of Everlasting Regret), we took the reverse route to first go to Huaqing Palace, then Lishan Garden and Terracotta Warriors. 🗺️Total route time: At 6 o'clock, I went out to the subway and took the subway for about an hour. At 7:56, arrived at the subway station [Huaqing Pool]. At 8:03, we started our tour of Huaqing Palace. At 9:36, we arrived at the platform of the Xi'an Incident Film and Television Theater to rest. At 10 o'clock, start walking up the stairs to Bingjian Pavilion (you can take the official sightseeing bus). At 10:17, we arrived at Bingjian Pavilion. At 10:21, we started climbing up the beacon tower, climbing stairs all the way. At 11:25, we arrived at the Beacon Tower Observation Deck. At 11:32, we descended the beacon tower and returned the same way. The whole journey was stairs, which made it easy for our legs and knees to become weak and tired (not recommended unless necessary, and walking too slowly will delay the rest of the journey). At 11:57, we arrived at Laomu Palace, where they said it was very effective in helping us have children. At 12:17, we took the cable car down the mountain, which cost 30 one way (there were also private cars that picked up passengers and took them down the mountain to the subway entrance, which seemed to be 25 per person). At 14:36, we arrived at Lishan Garden (the imperial tomb mound). At 14:38, browse the 9901 burial pit. At 15:15, visit the Bronze Chariot and Horse Museum. At 15:51, visit the 0006 burial pit, opposite the Bronze Chariot and Horse Museum. At 16:15, we took the scenic area shuttle bus to the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit (admission ends at 17:00. We didn’t want to wait for the shuttle bus for 10 minutes, so we took a taxi for 10 yuan). At 16:26, we arrived at the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pits (Pits 1~3~4~2). At 18:08, we left the museum, passed the long commercial street in the scenic area, and took a through bus (25 yuan per person) back to the Bell Tower. At around 8 p.m., we arrived at the bell tower to have dinner. ⚠️Summary: The reverse process is smooth, but you need to pay attention to the time. Don't stay too long and delay the next deadline. 💮The best time route after sorting: 8~12 o'clock, Huaqing Palace + take a sightseeing bus to Bingjian Pavilion. Finish lunch before 13:00. 13:00-15:30, Lishan Garden. Before 16:00~Closed, Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit.

🌟As we all know, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang are one of the greatest discoveries in the history of world archaeology. In 1978, former French Prime Minister Jacques Chirac said after visiting the site: "Among the seven wonders of the world, the discovery of the Terracotta Warriors can be said to be the eighth wonder. If you don't see the Terracotta Warriors, you can't be considered to have been to China." Since then, the Terracotta Warriors have been hailed as "one of the eight wonders" by the world, and three major pits of terracotta warriors have been excavated so far. 🔴Pit No. 1 is the largest of the three pits, containing approximately 6,000 terracotta warriors and horses. 🔴Pit No. 2 is the pit with the richest content and the best image of the terracotta warriors among the three pits of Qin Terracotta Warriors. It is an army group composed of multiple arms, with infantry, chariots, cavalry, crossbowmen and other phalanxes forming a large military formation. 🔴Pit No. 3 is a military headquarters with an area of ​​520 square meters. Although it is small in size, it is of great significance. In modern Chinese, "运计算圍繄" is also used to describe the wisdom and composure of a commander, because generals in ancient times sat in the "繄" to handle military affairs. Pit No. 3 of the Qin Terracotta Warriors is the general's "tent". ⚠️⚠️⚠️ Tips to avoid pitfalls: 💯Suggestion: Be sure to invite a tour guide in advance, a regular tour guide in the museum! A small group of six people costs 300 yuan, and the explanation lasts about 1.5 hours! Very worth it! Or you can join a regular small group tour with pure play and lectures, preferably including Lishan Garden, which lasts for 4-5 hours in total and is an immersive experience. 💥💥💥❌❌❌ 🙅Don't ever take the Terracotta Warriors through train, especially the one with free tours. I won't go into details, there is no 🈚free lunch in the world. 🙅Don't go to the door to buy those explanations that cost a few or dozens of dollars. It's not that it's bad, but you will regret it and then say you were ripped off😢 📍Address: Qinling North Road, Lintong District, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province 🚗Self-driving: There is a dedicated parking lot for a fee! 🚇Subway: Take Subway Line 9 to Qinling West and then take a taxi or shuttle bus. Remember⚠️Everything claiming to be official and free‼ ️Don't believe it at all, there will be no pitfalls😅Don't🙅 save the explanation fee💰, and lose the big picture for the small. The scenic spots in Xi'an, especially the Terracotta Warriors, are a pit without explanation😅

✅ The Terracotta Warriors are located in a relatively remote area, and transportation is not very convenient. You need to transfer from the subway to a bus, or you can take a taxi or a direct bus. After seeing the statue of Qin Shi Huang, the ticket hall and visitor center are to the right. ✅ Refer to the scenic area map in Picture 2. There are two ticket gates. If you buy tickets online, you can enter directly by swiping your ID card. If you don't have it, you can manually enter it at one of the ticket gates. Children under 18 are free and do not need to book tickets. One adult can bring three minors for free. After entering the first security check, you can choose to walk in (about 10 minutes) or take an electric car for 5 yuan (about 2 minutes, you may need to queue when there are many people). After entering the second ticket gate, Pit 1 is not far away. ✅ Refer to the visiting order in Picture 2: Pit 1 - Pit 3 - Pit 2 - Cultural Relics Exhibition Hall. You can avoid retracing your steps (the guide suggests not retracing your steps when visiting the burial pits). ✅ There are always various guides in formal attire at the entrance asking if you want a guide. I feel that as long as you say you will pay after listening, you should be able to follow. There are many prices, such as 260 for a family, 40/person, 30/person. You need to ask and choose yourself. Some will immediately say 120 and recommend other tickets, just refuse. We followed a 30/person guide who we paid after listening. They will give you an earphone and ask you to wait at the visitor center until enough people gather. Other than the large number of people, everything was quite good. At each exit and entrance, they will count the number of people by family. The guide will take you through the first ticket gate and finally to the parking lot (Lishan Garden boarding point). They will also ask if you want to buy underground palace tickets and take you to shopping places, but it is not mandatory and the stay is short. I personally feel it does not affect the experience. When you leave, you will also pass through a long shopping street. With a guide, you can walk less both in and out, as they are familiar with the routes. ✅ If you have enough time, you must visit Lishan Garden. It is really great. I feel that my trip to Xi'an was most satisfying because of Lishan Garden. The Lishan Garden ticket is included in the 120 yuan Terracotta Warriors ticket. After visiting the Terracotta Warriors, you can take a free bus to Lishan Garden from the parking lot near the Qin Shi Huang statue. ✅ Lishan Garden is very large. I personally think it is necessary to spend 15 yuan to take the scenic shuttle bus, otherwise, you won't be able to finish the tour. Don't save the 10 yuan for the guide; it is very interesting and much more engaging than the Terracotta Warriors. There are fewer people and more attractions than the Terracotta Warriors. The guide's vivid and interesting explanations make it really worth it. However, the guide walks too fast, and I couldn't keep up with my two children. I was running all the way. In some places, if I took a few photos, the guide would be gone. Finally, the guide will take you to buy books and jade, saying that one of the discoverers of the Terracotta Warriors, Grandpa Yang (not Mr. Yang Zhifa), will be signing books on site. If you don't buy the book, the staff won't let you take photos of Grandpa (the book is not cheap). I want to say, isn't Grandpa a public figure? Can't we take photos? ✅ Due to word limit, I will write another article about the various pits of the Terracotta Warriors and the attractions of Lishan Garden.

The Museum of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is composed of two parts: the well-known Terracotta Warriors Museum on the east side, and the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor Heritage Park (Lishan Park) on the west side. Two years ago, the Bronze Chariot and Horse Museum opened in Lishan Park. There are free shuttle buses between the two scenic spots on the east and west sides, each requiring about two hours of viewing time. The Terracotta Warriors is one of the first batch of key protected units in the country, and one of the six first batch of World Cultural Heritages in China. Its archaeological value, tourism value, and historical value are almost unprecedented. The day before yesterday, Xi'an welcomed the second snowfall of 2024. Some professional actors from an art troupe each wore replicas of Qin Shi Huang and the Terracotta Warriors' costumes and started a snowball fight in the snow, making people feel as if they had traveled through time. Because I often travel on business, I have been to the Terracotta Warriors many times, but my two sons have only been there a few times. The last time my two sons visited the Terracotta Warriors, it was the last snowfall in Xi'an in 2023. Unfortunately, they didn't see our emperor having a snowball fight, haha. I suggest that everyone in the Terracotta Warriors scenic area should choose professional guides in the scenic area. The price is not expensive, suitable for children to listen carefully in family units, don't worry about noise, there are very professional headphones. Cultural and creative popsicles, all kinds of souvenirs are worth buying, especially the latter, the site is sent by SF Express, no need to carry it all the time. The catering in the scenic area is not expensive, and there are very authentic biangbiang noodles. The specialty store in the scenic area is called 'Nuo', which is the same name as my eldest son, which is also a special fate. Because it is at the foot of Lishan Mountain, and because Lishan Mountain was called Lishan in ancient times, the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor Heritage Park is now called Lishan Park. But in terms of pronunciation, Lishan should be read in the second tone, and Lishan in the fourth tone (Li sometimes also reads the second tone, such as Lishui). From an administrative point of view, the Museum of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor still belongs to Lintong District, but the City Wall Management Committee is directly managed by Xi'an, so the latter's administrative level is even higher (but the fame is naturally the Terracotta Warriors).

Terracotta Army Built by China’s first emperor Qin Shi Huang of the Qin Dynasty 2,200 years ago. When he was just 13 years old, he wanted a mausoleum as big as a city built for him to protect him in the afterlife. The city sized mausoleum is guarded by the life sized Terracotta Army of more than 8,000 life sized soldiers, 130 chariots with 520 horses and 150 Calvary horses. Also among the army were 40,000 real bronze weapons Construction took 38 years to build, by 720,000 workers (from 247BC - 208 BC). The Terracotta Army was first discovered in 1974 by five farmers when they were digging a well. One of the farmers is still alive. Today, there are about 108 pits discovered but only 3 pits are open to the public. All the warriors were discovered broken except for one kneeling archer that was found intact (slide 3). He is called the lucky warrior. It takes about one year to put one warrior back together using the same technique (including baking the clay in 950 -1200 degrees heat for a week). Each warrior weighs 100kg. When the warriors were first found, they were originally coloured, but due to the lack of technology at the time, the colour vanished within a week after they were exposed to the dry air #chinesehistory #terracottawarriors #terracottaarmy #xian

This famous World Heritage Site is located in the Lintong District of Xi'an. It is located in a tranquil area on the outskirts of the city, about an hour by bus. You can enter from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and you can purchase advance tickets with a designated time online. If your personal information is linked, you can enter by scanning your passport at the ticket gate. There are three Terracotta Warriors, Pits 1 to 3, and Pit 1 is the largest and most impressive (Photo 1). The view inside the huge building with a dome-shaped roof is overwhelming. The Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is a little further away, so it is convenient to take a paid electric bus. The exit is in a different place from the entrance, and you are forced to walk in front of souvenir shops and restaurants. It is a different route from the way there, so be careful not to lose sight of the bus stop and taxi stand. #China #ChinaTrip #ChinaTourism #Xi'an #TerracottaWarriors #WorldHeritage
