How to play with the Terracotta Army? How much time should be reserved? Don't miss the hidden gallery
Question: What should I pay attention to when driving to the Terracotta Army?
Answer: It takes less than 2 hours to drive from Xi'an, and the only thing to note is during crowded times, such as public holidays or weekends during the summer vacation, remember to enter the Terracotta Army area from east to west via the Qinling North Road, park in the museum's opposite parking lot, or take the Qintang Avenue to Qinling North Road. Do not take the Qinling North Road from west to east to park at the museum's entrance parking lot. The reasons are complicated, but trust me on this, otherwise, you could be stuck in traffic so bad that you'll question your life choices. Of course, if it's not a holiday, it's fine on weekdays, park wherever you want.
Question: What is the full name of the Terracotta Army?
Answer: The Museum of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, don't get it wrong on your GPS, after all, there are other tourist traps with similar Terracotta Army themes.
Question: Do I need a guide? Where is it appropriate to hire one?
Answer: If you're not a historian, you definitely need a guide! Otherwise, you won't understand anything and it would be a wasted trip, especially if you're with kids. The guide costs 300 per group, and if you have sufficient funds and don't want to join a group, you can go directly. There are guides both inside and outside the entire Terracotta Army area, which is managed by the Cultural Relics Bureau, and the guides are managed by the Tourism Bureau, so there are no so-called 'wild guides'. As long as you enter the gate area, whether outside the gate or inside after entering, they are all certified. Just find one directly, but!! Pay attention to this! The guides inside the Terracotta Army are absolutely not allowed to recommend any consumption projects outside the museum to the guests, such as performances, movies, etc. They are expensive and a rip-off, don't ask me how I know! I complained to the Cultural Relics Bureau before they solved my issue.
Question: How should I arrange the tour sequence?
Answer: Just follow the guide, starting from Pit 1. Actually, there are many interesting little stories inside, and it's very good for the kids to listen to.
Question: How long does the whole process take?
Answer: It's estimated to take 2 hours, but if it's during holidays, the crazy number of tourists will significantly increase your tour duration because the good spots that people fight to death for are cherished... they won't move easily. It might extend the tour time by another hour.
Question: Where is the legendary hidden attraction, the Bronze Chariot and Horses?
Answer: The Terracotta Army Museum has only developed a tip of the iceberg of the Emperor's mausoleum. Due to technical reasons, I probably won't see the other parts of the Terracotta Army opened in my lifetime, so the ticket you buy includes not only the museum but also the ticket for the Lishan Garden of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor. However, this is a bit far from the museum, you need to take a shuttle bus from the museum exit to get there. I recommend everyone to go and see what the 'horse-riding whip' looks like and how fast the 'four-horse chariot' really is. The tomb of Emperor Qin Shi Huang is buried here, and there are countless unexcavated pits. Due to the large area, it's more reliable to take an electric car. A quick look will take at least 1.5 hours, and a detailed tour will take even longer.
So now you know how much time you should reserve for the Terracotta Army, right? It's not too much to set aside a whole day. I left Xi'an early in the morning and didn't get back until after 5 pm.
Question: Can I bring a drone?
Answer: Don't look for trouble... Do you think it's possible for you to bring it in? There's a luggage storage place next to the entrance of the Terracotta Army, which is quite convenient. Store all the prohibited items there!
Finally, a reminder for everyone, there are many valuable souvenirs in the museum, and there is a specialty store. There's also a toilet there, so most people will go. How should I put it... without discussing authenticity, if you have a lot of money, feel free to buy. If you have a lot of money, well, umm 😊😊😊😊
It is the second time in my life to come to the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, and every time there is every harvest. The eight wonders of the world must not be missed. It is suitable for taking the elderly and children to visit together, but you must cooperate with the explanation to understand.
The eighth wonder of the world always has to go to see once to know how high the wisdom of the ancestors is and how proud they are as Chinese. The tour guide said that the Terracotta Warriors and Horses only have peak seasons and peak seasons, but there are relatively few people going after five times. Be sure to explain! ! !

The resurrected legion! Especially in the morning, I went to the pit No. 1 to visit, the sun shining on the terracotta warriors, it really felt that those Qin army sharps came to us like a bronze wall! (Of course, during May 1st, people are called a lot... Although there is spray cooling when queuing, it is still very sun-dried. It is recommended to carry sunscreen clothes and sun hats and small fans. Although the air-conditioning in the No. 1 pit is very air-conditioned, some pavilions are not air-conditioned, and the road is very hot...) Terracotta Warriors and horses are really thousands of people Ah! Some are rough, some are beautiful, some are terracotta warriors and horses and there are still painted residues on the horse, those war horses are particularly beautiful! (Of course, the better ones are still behind!) (Pay attention to the huge queue in the toilet! So try to drink less water... drink a mouth or two to moisten your throat when you are thirsty, Otherwise, it is too painful to queue up for the toilet...) It is still far from the tomb of Qin Shihuang (Lishan Garden), so the scale of the entire Qin Shihuang Mausoleum is really unimaginable! In addition to the No. 1 pit, No. 2 pit, and No. 3 pit, there is also a cultural relics exhibition hall that cannot be missed! Those particularly representative boutique terracotta warriors and horses and bronzes Waterfowl are there! Various boutique cultural relics! Absolutely not to be missed! Compared with the No. 1 pit, you can only squeeze in the crowd to see the army array from a distance (most of the time is outside the crowd, you can't see anything, you need patience and luck to squeeze inside...), the cultural relics exhibition hall can watch various details up close! Going to Lishan Garden is after visiting the museum, passing through the commercial street (you can eat and drink to replenish energy, there are various souvenirs for sale, there is a theater, there is VR, and there is a Qinling Mausoleum Palace... I don’t know if it’s the colorful Terracotta Warriors and Horses that pit countless people...) to the Qin Shihuang statue to queue up and take the car (If it is not too peak, there should be not too many tourists to Lishan Garden)
Qinling bronze car horse, bronze crown, really deserved! The details are amazing! Not only the surface has painted, but also the interior wall of the car! The reins are super exquisite! Liu Bang Xiangyu Zhang Liang saw Qin Shihuang car driving, such a dozen carriages, each at least twice the size of this, beautifully painted, magnificent, horse-steamed, elite, majestic, magnificent... The big husband should be like this! He can replace it!
Too elegant! Too realistic! Whether it is a crane, a swan, or a lame duck, it is really too realistic! Maybe in the palace of Qin Shihuang, there were real animals on one side, and bronze hands on the other side... There is also the wrong gold and silver Yuefu copper clock, Qin Dynasty has Yuefu, and so exquisite! (After all, when it comes to the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, the average person's impression is Tao Wei, in fact, there are many newly discovered cultural relics!)
Excavation, archaeology, and excursions, the three Qin Yong pits currently open are definitely worth seeing. Zulong's legacy is called the "eighth wonder of the world", and this shock is unimaginable. I rushed to go before May 1st. It is a staggered trip. Although there are many people, as long as you wait patiently for a while, you can still find a better viewing location. It is strongly recommended to find an explanation, be sure to find an explanation, find an explanation, and say the important things three times, otherwise there is a high probability that you will see a lonely one.
