In a single day, uncover the mysteries of the eighth wonder of the world in the morning, then travel back to the Great Qin imperial court for a royal banquet at noon, immersing yourself in the "sights and flavors" of Qin culture.
In the morning, head to Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum on your own to visit the magnificent pits 1, 2, and 3, and face the terracotta army formation with thousands of unique faces. Pits 1 to 3 are arranged in a triangular formation: pit 1 is grand in scale and awe-inspiring, pit 2 features exquisite figures like kneeling archers and cavalry, and pit 3 serves as the command center of the underground army. Your admission ticket has been pre-booked. Upon arrival, redeem ticket directly with your ID card/passport for entry, saving you the hassle of queuing to purchase tickets.
At noon, head to the Daqin ceremonial feast adjacent to the Terracotta Warriors (approx. 10 min drive), an immersive Qin culture-themed restaurant that recreates the solemnity of Qin royal banquets through an imperial-style divided dining system with individually served dishes. Before the meal, guests can freely change into Qin dynasty attire for photo check-ins. Pre-dinner rituals include ceremonial officers performing rites and ancient bianzhong music performances, creating profound ceremonial ambiance. During the meal, servers share the historical anecdotes and culinary origins behind each dish. Signature items include Qin specialties like crispy-outside-tender-inside gourd chicken, aromatic and juicy Daqin steak, and Wang Jian grilled fish. Post-meal, guests can stamp the menu with a "heirloom imperial jade seal" souvenir imprint, taking home a unique piece of Qin dynasty memory.
The terracotta warriors and the grand Qin banquet are approx. 10 mins apart by car, easily accessible by taxi or self-driving, making them a perfect cultural and culinary combo for a 1-day tour in Lintong.
