Dingjun Mountain

4

4.0/5

82 reviews

Dingjun Mountain is a branch of Bashan Mountain, and Wuhou Tomb is located at the foot of this mountain. This is a famous ancient battlefield where the Wei and Shu armies fought during the Three Kingdoms period, and it is therefore famous from ancient times to the present. Zhuge Liang once trained his troops here during his lifetime, and was buried at the foot of the mountain after his death. Although Dingjun Mountain is not high and steep, the road is quite steep because it has never been developed. The entire Dingjun Mountain has twelve mountains, which meander from west to east for more than ten kilometers, like a dragon playing with a pearl, so it has the reputation of "a pearl in the twelve mountains". In ancient times, the Three Kingdoms formed a tripartite situation because of the Battle of Dingjun Mountain, and Dingjun Mountain is widely known for the historical sites of the Three Kingdoms. It was here that the old Shu Han general Huang Zhong chopped Xiahou Yuan with a knife at the foot of Dingjun Mountain, and his reputation shook China.

Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum

2026 Global 100 - Best Things to Do

Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum

10

4.7/5

150.3k reviews

Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum is a large site museum built on the site of the Terracotta Army pits, which are located approx. 1.5 km east of the mound of Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum. In March 1974, farmers from Xiyang Village accidentally unearthed fragments of terracotta figures while digging a well, and archaeological exploration confirmed Pit 1; in 1976, Pits 2 and 3 were successively discovered to the north of Pit 1. This army, which had slumbered for over 2,000 years, was thus brought back to light, and the discovery of the Terracotta Army has been hailed as "one of the great discoveries in the history of 20th-century archaeology." Pit 1 is the main military formation among the three pits, stretching over 200 m from east to west, with an estimated 6,000 pottery figurines and horses buried inside. Standing at the edge and looking down, armored warrior figurines, war chariots, and pottery horses are arrayed eastward in battle formation. A closer look at each figure reveals different facial shapes, hairstyles, beards, and even hand gestures. The figurines were originally painted all over, but most of the paint has peeled off and discolored due to fire and long burial. Pit 2 is L-shaped, with crossbowmen, cavalry, and charioteers arranged in a mixed formation; the vividly expressive kneeling archer was unearthed here. Pit 3 is small in scale, and scholars believe the ceremonial guard figurines and war chariots unearthed there indicate it served as the command center—known in ancient times as a "military tent"—directing the formations in Pits 1 and 2. The bronze swords, pi halberds, spears, crossbow triggers, and large quantities of arrowheads unearthed from the pits—many still sharp after more than 2,000 years—demonstrate the sophistication of Qin dynasty metallurgy. The Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum and the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum at the foot of Mount Li were originally one integrated whole. After Qin Shi Huang ascended the throne at the age of 13, he began constructing the mausoleum, conscripting hundreds of thousands of laborers over a period spanning more than 30 years; the terracotta army, which replaced human sacrifice with figurines, served as the underground guard for this imperial mausoleum. To avoid the crowds during your visit, you might want to see Pit 3 and Pit 2 first, and then take your time to experience the awe-inspiring scene of Pit 1 last. After viewing the terracotta pits, you can also take the attraction's shuttle bus to Lishan Garden, where Emperor Qinshihuang's mausoleum is located; the Acrobats Pit, the Civil Officials Pit, and the Bronze Chariots and Horses Museum are all within the garden. The two painted bronze chariots and horses, cast at half the scale of real chariots, are exquisitely crafted with brilliantly gleaming gold and silver fittings, and are well worth a special trip to see.
