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.

Other visitors' reviews of Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum
Show More ReviewsThe service at the shuttle bus ticket checker at the Terracotta Army site was truly terrible. They pretended not to hear me when I politely asked questions, acting like they couldn't hear me, and only gave a listless reply after I had to repeat myself three times. Don't take this 5-yuan shuttle bus; it's less than 500 meters long. Seeing the Terracotta Army in person was truly awe-inspiring. The thousands of faces are magnificent, the bronze chariots and horses are exquisitely crafted, and you can genuinely feel the grandeur of the Qin Dynasty. The historical atmosphere is palpable, making it well worth a special trip.
