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.

Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum Photos: Trip Moments
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
Series 159 Around China: Xi'an The Mausoleum of Emperor Qin Shi Huang Museum🌈Historical Background: The museum was built on the original site of the Terracotta Army's construction, located above the pit ruins of the Terracotta Army at the northern foot of Lishan Mountain, which together with Lishan Garden is known as the Mausoleum of Emperor Qin Shi Huang Museum. The Terracotta Army pits are situated 1.5 kilometers east of Emperor Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum, south of Xiyang Village, and serve as the accompanying burial pits for the mausoleum. 🚗Highlight Introduction: A national 5A-level tourist attraction, also known as the eighth wonder of the world. It is also the largest ancient military museum in China. Currently, there are three pits of Terracotta Warriors, numbered as Pit 1, 2, and 3, with Pit 2 being the essence of the Qin figurines. 🎫Ticket Information: Tickets are 120 yuan, self-driving is recommended, and there are buses from Xi'an Railway Station to the scenic area. ✨Travel Tips: Each terracotta warrior has a distinct facial expression, representing different types of soldiers such as infantry, archers, cavalry, etc. It would be spectacular if they were holding weapons. We can also see staff repairing at the back of the venue, and the displayed Terracotta Warriors are only a small part, with further excavations to come.JANELLE SWANSON

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

Qin Shihuang Terracotta Warriors and Horses, you must go to Xi'an for a trip, the eighth wonder of the world. I asked the tour guide to listen to the explanation and understand the history and culture of Qin Shihuang period. It is a good travel experience.
The number of people in Lishan Garden is far lower than that of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, but I said that Lishan Garden is really worth going. It was just built before the epidemic. Everyone is not familiar with the three-year tourism affected by the epidemic. I drove to Lishan Garden first. Although the parking lot is not big, there are not many cars. It is also close to the gate of the scenic spot. Everyone stopped the Terracotta Warriors and Horses. After watching Lishan Garden, take the shuttle bus to and from the Terracotta Warriors and Horses. Lishanyuan battery car is optional, do not take the battery car to go far, this is why the terracotta warrior battery car fare 5 yuan and Lishanyuan sells 15 yuan, it is necessary to take a car. Please explain, the visit is more interesting, Lishanyuan is in the promotion period, the official explanation is free of charge; The terracotta warriors and horses can be explained officially. In the small room on the left side of the ticketing square, three people are connected to the interpreter for 114 yuan. I listened to the official explanation throughout the whole process. It took four and a half hours to drive away. The Terracotta Warriors and Horses exit pedestrian street in order to catch the high-speed rail or trot out. It took an extra 20 minutes to watch the immersion experience of the No. 2 pit. Let's evaluate the time by yourself.
Lishan Qin Shihuang Mausoleum No. 10 explanation is very interesting, very professional, feels very good, I don’t know how much better than Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses, I recommended friends to come to Qin Shihuang Mausoleum
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.
