Just came back from the Terracotta Warriors...Copy this post to avoid the crowds

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‼ ️
