First time in Xi'an, just around the corner.

📅 Travel Itinerary Day 1: Long Air flight GJ8908 from Suvarnabhumi Airport T1 to Xianyang Airport. We booked through Thip.com for 5,300 THB round trip, including 23 kg baggage allowance and meals. - Check-in at the hotel. Initially planned to leave our luggage, but the hotel allowed early check-in. - Visit the Terracotta Army. We took the purple Line 6 metro, switched to the orange Line 9, and got off at Huaquing Station. Then, we called a Didi ride, but a friend mistakenly pinned the location to Lishan Park. Since we hadn't bought tickets yet, we quickly booked through Thip.com to save time. Luckily, it was less crowded, and we took the free bus back to the Terracotta Warriors. For the return trip, we took bus 103, which was parked right in front. - Evening stroll at Muslim Street. Day 2: Sacred Mount Huashan. Took the high-speed train, followed by a free shuttle bus to the park entrance, and then the park's shuttle to the cable car station. We chose to ascend via the West Peak and descend via the North Peak. - Evening visit to Kaiyuan Shopping Mall, Bell Tower, and Drum Tower. Day 3: Big Wild Goose Pagoda / Xi'an City Wall / Daxingshan Temple for blessings before heading back. 🏨 Recommended Accommodation: City Comfort Inn (Bell Tower, Xi'an). Only 150 meters from Zhonglou Metro Station, close to the underpass, near the Bell Tower, Drum Tower, and Muslim Street. Breakfast is available. 🍴 Recommended Food: Don't miss Roujiamo, lamb, and mutton dishes. Nearby, there's a famous pickled mustard fish soup restaurant. 📌 Tips: Exchange some money for emergencies and download essential apps.

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
