What travelers say:
Today is a day trip on the East Line of Xi'an. I came to the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum, Qinling Mausoleum, and Huaqing Palace before the peak tourist season. I didn’t have much confidence in the tour group that I accidentally turned over on Trip.com. I finally found that it was worth the money, because the clock tower used to last for a long time. Did not eat breakfast, Hu Yubo tour guide intimately recommended affordable breakfast, good quality and cheap, praise. The whole tour process, with Hu tour guide's explanation, is apt and vivid, from beginning to end immersed in it. From the explanation of Hu tour guide, it can be seen that the professional ability is strong, the empathy is good, the truth is truth, the full day, thank you for meeting.

Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum, also known as the Terracotta Army, is located about 1.5 kilometers east of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor and forms part of the extensive necropolis. There were more than a thousand terracotta soldiers unearthed here, each with a different facial expression. Standing before the massive underground army, you will feel the extraordinary might of the Qin Emperor that enabled him to unify six warring states two thousand years ago. The Qin Emperor Ying Zheng began building the mausoleum for himself at the age of 13. Nearly 720000 men and 38 years were required to complete this vast project.

The Terracotta Army in Xi'an is truly a miracle that must be seen to be believedOne of the must-visit attractions in Xi'an | Terracotta Army✅ Introduction to the scenic area: The Terracotta Army in Xi'an is truly a miracle that must be seen to be believed. The burial pits of the Terracotta Army of the Mausoleum of Emperor Qin Shihuang are arranged from west to east in a pin-shaped pattern. The first pit discovered was Pit No. 1, which is rectangular and was found by farmers while digging a well. It contains more than 8,000 terracotta soldiers and horses, with sloped entrances on all sides. To the left and right of Pit No. 1 are two other terracotta pits, known as Pit No. 2 and Pit No. 3, which were scientifically discovered by archaeologists through drilling. The terracotta figures are rich and vividly depict a variety of characters with distinct personalities. Their style is robust and refined, full of moving artistic charm, and is a sign that the art of sculpture in ancient China had reached maturity. They not only inherit the pottery sculpture tradition of China since the Warring States period but also laid the foundation for the prosperity of sculpture art in the Tang Dynasty, playing a bridging role. It is hailed as 'the Eighth Wonder of the World' and 'a precious treasure of ancient human civilization'. Included in the UNESCO 'World Heritage List' About the Terracotta Army: The original colors of the Terracotta Army were colorful, with various colors including vermilion, sky blue, and lavender. However, due to the passage of time, most of the colors have faded away, and the remaining painted terracotta figures quickly oxidize and lose their color when exposed to air, turning into a terracotta color. In order to restore the Terracotta Army, archaeologists carefully excavate, patiently restore, and piece together, and it takes a long time for us to see this magnificent and majestic terracotta army formation that shocks the world! The Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty, Li Si, was the unimaginable designer of this terracotta army tomb pit, marveling at the wisdom of the ancients! Using a phrase from the National Treasures: 'Though the terracotta soldiers are nameless, they have a thousand faces. With their flesh and blood, they secure peace for the land and protect the vast rivers and mountains. How can they be nameless? The rivers and mountains are their names.' The underground army that has slept for a thousand years | One glance spans a millennium Visiting the Terracotta Army, 90% of the time needs to be spent on explanations, so it is very necessary to rent an audio guide to avoid a cursory visit!!

I've stepped on the pit of the Terracotta Army in Xi'an for everyone! Avoiding the thunder"The ground plane is a mysterious mirror. Above the mirror, there are the towering and silent mausoleums; beneath the mirror, the time of the empire still walks." The Mausoleum of Emperor Qin Shi Huang is as big as 78 Forbidden Cities, equivalent to an underground kingdom, and the Terracotta Army is just the tip of the iceberg. Let's talk about the 【Bronze Crown】 bronze chariots and horses, which took 8 years to restore and were made at a scale of one-half of the vehicles used by Emperor Qin Shi Huang's royal fleet. The displayed No. 1 chariot is a replica. The two chariots are mainly made of bronze, and they are the earliest, largest, most complex, most complete, highest level, most exquisitely made, and best-preserved bronze chariots unearthed in China. They are also the largest bronze artifacts discovered in world archaeology. 👀Recommended visiting order for the Terracotta Army: Pit No. 1—Pit No. 3—Pit No. 2 Pit No. 1: Currently the pit with the most terracotta warriors, the first three rows without armor are infantry (dare-to-die troops). I thought I couldn't capture the effect of the sunset on the terracotta warriors on a rainy day (in fact, I couldn't without a telephoto lens), but there is a warm light spotlight overhead, which photographers can use to create. Pit No. 3: It is the command center, currently the smallest in scale. Deer bones have been unearthed in the pit, presumably used by the army for divination. Pit No. 2: Still being "developed", there is a work area set up on-site, and archaeologists are usually present to restore the terracotta warriors. ♢The warriors in this pit are special forces, among which the kneeling archer was unearthed intact, the only one that has not been restored, with clear hair, shoelace eyelets, fingernails, and even palm prints visible. ♢The Terracotta Army has a unique face for each soldier, the ultimate in realism, admiring the craftsmanship of the artisans two thousand years ago, and also paying tribute to today's cultural relic restorers. 👉🏻About stamping: After exiting Pit No. 2, go to the cultural and creative store on the left outside (the ice cream sold there has no eyes), where you need to buy a pass for 35 yuan, and staff will help you stamp it. 🚌Transportation: Take Line 1/6 to 'Textile City', transfer to Line 9 to 'Huaqing Pool', and then take a bus or taxi (10 yuan/person) to get there. 🎫Ticket: 120 yuan/person (includes the Terracotta Army + Mausoleum of Emperor Qin Shi Huang) Students 60 yuan/person 📍Address: Emperor Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum Museum, Lintong District, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province ⏰Opening hours: 8:30~18:00 (entry stops at 17:00)orvillea_0821

Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum#chinatrip Great experience. Together with the Great Wall tells you why was China such great empire, and why it is becoming again. However, it can be a bit crowdy. Official parking available at very enterance, so don't react to many parking offers before. Personal guides with questionable English knoweledge available at enterence. Price starts from 50 eur, but it is nagotionable. Better solution is to take electronic guide available at the counter before entetence, with price between 5 and 10 eur. Try to buy souvenires as close to the exit gate as possible, because prices are lower than closer to the exhibition halls.Tala_Travel101

How many of the eight ancient capitals have you visited?Let's embark on a journey through China's historical and cultural cities, and explore the charm of the eight ancient capitals. First comes Xi'an, with its mysterious Terracotta Warriors, the magnificent Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and the ancient city walls that have withstood the test of time. Next is Luoyang, where the Longmen Grottoes and the White Horse Temple showcase the profound depth of ancient culture. Then there's Nanjing, with the Confucius Temple and the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, reflecting the glory of the Ming Dynasty. Following is Beijing, with the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace, where we can appreciate the grandeur of emperors. There's also Hangzhou, with the scenic beauty of West Lake and the Lingyin Temple, which are unforgettable. Then comes Zhengzhou, with the Shaolin Temple and the Kaifeng Prefecture, where we can learn about the long-standing culture of the Central Plains. Lastly is Anyang, the birthplace of oracle bones and the I Ching, which makes one marvel at the longevity of Chinese civilization. Each of these eight ancient capitals has its unique features, and every city has unforgettable scenery and stories. As a traveler, my personal favorites are Xi'an, Luoyang, Nanjing, Beijing, and Hangzhou. Xi'an, in particular, with its unique historical background and rich cultural heritage, is a place that makes one want to return again and again. Of course, each city has its unique charm, and I hope everyone will have the chance to experience them firsthand.3l.z@b3th 3v@ns
The Grand Tang Dynasty · Ancient Capital Xi'an | Three Days and Two Nights Special Forces TravelRecommended 9⃣ favorite cities | Xi'an Travel Date: May 2021. Xi'an, formerly known as Chang'an, was the capital of thirteen dynasties, hence it has the deepest cultural heritage and history. I have been to Xi'an several times back and forth. Here, you can encounter history, culture, cuisine, architecture... 📸 Itinerary DAY01: Shaanxi History Museum - Da Ci'en Temple/Grand Tang Mall DAY02: Terracotta Army of Emperor Qin Shi Huang - Huaqing Pool Performance DAY03: Famen Temple - Ancient City Wall - Muslim Street/Spray Gold Bridge 🔥 Key points here / Pitfall Guide 📍 Shaanxi History Museum China's first large-scale modern national museum, with a collection of over 370,000 items, ranging from Shang and Zhou bronzes, terracotta figures from various dynasties, Han and Tang gold and silverware to Tang tomb murals, known as the treasure house of Chinese civilization. ▪️ Book in advance, Tang Dynasty Mural Exhibition 300 yuan / Tang Dynasty Treasures 30 yuan ▪️ Human guide basic hall 100, treasure hall 50 yuan ▪️ Audio guide rental 30, deposit 100 📍 Da Ci'en Temple/Grand Tang Paradise/Grand Tang Mall Da Ci'en Temple is most famous for the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, which was built under the supervision of Xuanzang to preserve the scriptures and Buddha statues he brought back. Grand Tang Paradise is mainly a large-scale royal theme park showcasing the culture of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. There are also many performances in the park at different times. 🌈 If time is short, it is recommended to go directly to the Grand Tang Mall to experience the bustling Tang Dynasty night market! After all, the night view here is exciting! 📍 Muslim Street/Spray Gold Bridge Muslim Street is basically one of the most concentrated tourist food spots, very crowded, and the dining prices on Muslim Street are not cheap, it can be treated as a sight to stroll through. ➡️ As for Spray Gold Bridge, there are fewer people compared to Muslim Street, but it's not exactly off the beaten path anymore. I personally recommend the old alleys next to Spray Gold Bridge, which are very nice to walk through and have an authentic local atmosphere. 📍 Terracotta Army of Emperor Qin Shi Huang Approved by the United Nations in 1987 to be listed in the 'World Heritage List', it is known as the eighth wonder of the world. This attraction needs no introduction, a pride of the Chinese people. It's very crowded, be careful not to get pushed over. 📍 Huaqing Pool Huaqing Pool, also known as Li Palace, where Yang Guifei bathed, is a very small pool. 🌈 The evening performance of 'The Song of Everlasting Sorrow' is recommended, with a total of ten acts, lasting 70 minutes. The performance is beautiful, and the prosperity of the Grand Tang Dynasty is worth seeing. 📍 Famen Temple Founded during the Eastern Han Dynasty, it has a history of over 1900 years. Located in Baoji City, also known as the True Body Pagoda, it became a holy place for Buddhism because it houses the finger bone relics of Sakyamuni Buddha. Famen Temple visit order: Old Temple > Museum > New Temple ➡️ Inside the Ten-Combined Relic Pagoda, which has an investment of over 5 billion, there is a performance about the past of Famen, which is quite beautiful. Friends who have the money and leisure can go and see it. 📍 Ancient City Wall On the last day, you can climb the Ming Dynasty Ancient City Wall, which is the largest and most intact ancient city wall existing in China. There are four city gates in total, and the wall is especially magnificent at sunset. Highly recommended!JetsetExplorerX22
Exploring the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor: Lishan Garden and the Mysterious Terracotta ArmyThe scenic area of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor consists of two parts, one is Lishan Garden🌲, and the other is the museum🏛. Personally, I feel that both places are very much worth visiting, but many tour guides do not recommend Lishan Garden, as they would rather have you buy Lantian jade💎 in the museum. The bronze chariots and horses🐎 in Lishan Garden are very valuable and definitely worth seeing, so make sure to go‼✅ The Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is as large as 78 Forbidden Cities, equivalent to an underground kingdom🏰, and the Terracotta Army is just the tip of the iceberg⛰. Let's talk about the 【Crown of Bronze】chariots and horses, which took 8 years to restore and were made at a scale of one-half of the vehicles used by Emperor Qin Shi Huang's entourage. The displayed No. 1 chariot is a replica🚂. The main body of the two chariots is cast in bronze, and they are the earliest, largest, most complex, most complete, highest-ranking, most exquisitely made, and best-preserved bronze chariots and horses unearthed in China, as well as the largest bronze artifacts discovered in world archaeology🔍. After listening to the explanation, I learned how the ancients controlled the horses (although very wise, it's animal abuse...🙊). The bronze chariots and horses demonstrate the Qin dynasty's scientific and rational harnessing method, superb bronze casting technology, and the art of color painting🎨 Precautions: 1⃣ Book in advance on the platform with an ID card, or purchase tickets on a certain platform💳 2⃣ The Terracotta Army site has three pits open for visiting, in the following order: First Pit: The largest, with 2,000 terracotta warriors unearthed so far, very spectacular on the first visit (allow extra time⏳) Third Pit: The command center of the army formation, not large and all unearthed🔎 Second Pit: More complex formation, more complete types of soldiers, the most spectacular military formation of the three pits, so far very few artifacts have been excavated, and only a small part is on display🏞 3⃣ Peak hours are from 9-11 am and 1-4 pm🕔. It is recommended to go early or late to avoid the crowds of tour groups👥 4⃣ You can first visit Lishan Garden (included in the ticket, which many people overlook) to see the cultural relics exhibition, etc., and then go back to pits 1, 2, and 3 to see the Terracotta Army, with a free shuttle bus (behind the large statue) available🚖 5⃣ The most important point, ⚠ be sure to listen to the explanations (many small stories and background knowledge add interest to the visit). I rented an audio guide (because it was too noisy to hear clearly, I later listened in) and you can join a tour guide at the entrance🗣ReviveAndExplore

Today is a day trip on the East Line of Xi'an. I came to the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum, Qinling Mausoleum, and Huaqing Palace before the peak tourist season. I didn’t have much confidence in the tour group that I accidentally turned over on Trip.com. I finally found that it was worth the money, because the clock tower used to last for a long time. Did not eat breakfast, Hu Yubo tour guide intimately recommended affordable breakfast, good quality and cheap, praise. The whole tour process, with Hu tour guide's explanation, is apt and vivid, from beginning to end immersed in it. From the explanation of Hu tour guide, it can be seen that the professional ability is strong, the empathy is good, the truth is truth, the full day, thank you for meeting.
Haohao tour guide is warm and professional, Huaqing Palace has a deep history, and the terracotta warriors and horses shocked the soul. The itinerary is reasonable and the explanation is vivid and interesting. He is not only warm and thoughtful, but also very professional. He knows the historical and cultural background of Huaqing Palace and Terracotta Warriors and Horses. The explanation is vivid and interesting, which makes me have a deeper understanding of these historical relics. Thank you for your due diligence. Considerate. The weather is very powerful, the food is very good, the itinerary is also very reasonable, we visited the two famous attractions of Huaqing Palace and Terracotta Warriors and Horses, each attraction is just right, neither too rushed, nor bored, let us better experience the local culture and life. Overall, the trip was very enjoyable and rewarding. Thanks to the wonderful service of the tour guide, it gave me a deeper understanding of Xi'an's history and culture, and it also made me love the land more.
Come to Xi'an to play, is to run to the terracotta warriors and horses. This time, the tour guide is good, the history is quite thorough, the whole process is smooth, and the attraction can feel the obvious difference with other tour guides, except that the weather is too hot and there is no bad experience.
A historical cultural site. Still in the process of being excavated, the Terracotta Warriors are a sightseeing marvel. Created to accompany the first emperor of China into the afterlife, it is amazing to see how these warriors have stood against the test of time. I definitely recommend reading up on the history before you go to visit in order to fully appreciate what you’re seeing.
is a place in the world which everyone should see. It's fun and beautiful. I had the best time of my life being there. Pictures won't ever describe how cool this place is.
The only meaning is to see the terracotta warriors and horses on display. The interpreters in the venue are more professional when explaining the pit number one, two and three. But the mechanism of the museum pulling people to shop is very bad. If you are interested, you are naturally willing to buy it. If you are not interested, it is useless to say anything. Seeing that there is no shopping, just throw people down and let people go out. Let me have a little less impression of Xi'an's service.
The tour guide Chen Yu is humorous, with a thick cultural foundation, a lively explanation, and a good mood for tourists. Not only can he talk about the hidden knowledge of the attractions, but also can combine the current cultural rejuvenation content to let tourists, especially children feel the long and heavy history of the motherland. I also took a vivid patriotic education class. I deeply felt the unique charm of the ancient capitals of the 13th Dynasty. I remembered the prosperity of my great Qin, Dahan and Datang. During the Spring Festival, I can go to Xi'an, the ancient capital, and hope to have the opportunity to come to Xi'an again. Chang'an Changle!
One day in advance, the tour guide will notify the collection time by text message. The explanation is very professional and very satisfied. There are not many people. You can watch the cultural relics up close. The overall browsing is almost two hours. The experience is very good.
