A few suggestions for the Terracotta Warriors Scenic Area

The little clay figures in the three pits. The guide mentioned this, and it seems there are no major issues. Pits No. 1, 2, and 3 are open to the public, showcasing the Terracotta Army displays, and restoration is also underway. There are shuttle buses to the Emperor's Mausoleum when you exit, which you can visit together; it's included with the Terracotta Warriors' through ticket. Please note: As one of the national patriotic education bases, the ticket for the Terracotta Warriors Scenic Area includes a guided tour. If you take the direct bus from the scenic area, just follow the tour guide's instructions to find the explanation; if you go on your own, ask the staff, and they will tell you how to find it, which is very convenient. The electric car in the Terracotta Warriors Scenic Area costs five yuan, and the distance is not very far. Whether you take it or not depends on your mood. Pay attention to the explanations, as they are understandable. If you are interested after listening once, you can continue to eavesdrop on the explanations, as each guide's version of history is different. It's interesting to listen to the official version and then the folk version. I listened to one and eavesdropped on two others, and they were really not exactly the same. After listening carefully once, there's no need to visit this scenic area again, unless scholars discover how to preserve the colored Terracotta Warriors, then you could go again. Because the restoration is very slow, there's no need to go back. There are shuttle buses to the Mausoleum of Emperor Qin Shi Huang right outside the Terracotta Warriors, which are free with the through ticket. It is estimated that it takes three to four hours to tour the scenic area, and currently, there are three accompanying burial pits on display, which are recommended to visit. Paying respects to the tombs is also good. The artisan pit and the offspring burial pit are permanently closed to the public, and you'll understand why after listening to the explanations. The Mausoleum of Emperor Qin Shi Huang has not been developed. Not developed at all! There are electric cars inside the Mausoleum of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, or you can stroll around on your own. Actually, the time spent is about the same. Because with the electric car, you have to listen to the explanations for a while at each spot, whether you're interested or not, and wait for each other, which is pretty much the same as walking the whole way. Because I was listening to the same guide's explanation while walking. The mausoleum is very large, so if you are walking, it is recommended to follow the electric car path or the city wall, at least you can walk out of the park without needing rescue. There is free drinking water available in the mausoleum. I couldn't find the direct bus back to the scenic area and took a public bus + subway, which took over an hour to reach the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda.
