OutstandingWalking into the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum of the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum is like traveling through a time tunnel. What is presented before your eyes is a magnificent array of terracotta warriors, lifelike and in various poses. They are dressed in strong armor and are majestic and solemn, as if telling the glory of the past. The history of the Terracotta Warriors can be traced back to the Qin Dynasty, when Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms and established a powerful centralized state. In order to protect his mausoleum, he ordered the construction of this magnificent underground army. These terracotta warriors are not only a symbol of ancient military power, but also a treasure of ancient Chinese civilization.

The Qin Shi Huang Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum is also known as the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, or the Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses. It is a burial pit of the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum, and together with the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum, it forms the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum Museum.The Terracotta Army of Qin Shi Huang is known as the eighth wonder of the world. The more than 1,000 terracotta warriors unearthed here have different images and vivid expressions. They are a shining pearl in the history of ancient Chinese sculpture art and are hailed as "one of the great discoveries in the history of archaeology in the 20th century."Historical backgroundQin Shi Huang started to build the mausoleum when he ascended the throne at the age of 13. It took nearly 720,000 people and 38 years to build. The mausoleum was not completed until Qin Shi Huang's death. It took more than a year for Qin II Hu Hai to complete it.According to legend, Qin Shihuang spent countless manpower, material resources and financial resources to build an underground palace for himself, and the Terracotta Warriors were the guardians of the underground palace.The Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Dynasty are a typical example of using figurines to represent human sacrifice. The reason why the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Dynasty reached such a high level in terms of scale and realism is not only due to the wisdom of the craftsmen, but also inseparable from the will of the emperor.In March 1974, farmers in Xiyang Village, Lintong District, Shaanxi Province accidentally discovered some fragments of terracotta warriors while digging a well. After more than a year of exploration and trial excavation by archaeologists, it was confirmed that it was a large pit of warriors and horses, which is the world-famous No. 1 Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit.In April and May 1976, the No. 2 and No. 3 Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit were discovered on both sides of the No. 1 Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit. The size, shape and unearthed artifacts of each pit are different. Some scholars believe that the No. 3 pit is the headquarters of the No. 1 and No. 2 Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit, which was called "military tent" in ancient times.The Qin Shihuang Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum, built on the site of the Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pits, was officially opened in 1979. The main attractions include the Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pits No. 1, 2 and 3, the Bronze Chariot and Horse Exhibition Hall and related temporary exhibitions.Tour GuideThe museum ticket allows you to visit three terracotta warrior pits including Pit No. 1, the exhibition hall of unearthed cultural relics, the bronze chariot and horse exhibition hall, and the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang. The terracotta warriors and horses unearthed here can be divided into generals, warriors, charioteers, etc. according to their different costumes, expressions, and hairstyles. Each terracotta warrior has a different face shape, hairstyle, body shape, and expression. The terracotta warriors and horses were originally painted, but due to later burning and soaking, most of them have peeled off and changed color.Pit No. 1The No. 1 Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit in the scenic area was excavated earlier. The pit is about 230 meters long from east to west and about 62 meters wide from north to south. According to the arrangement density of the unearthed pottery figurines and horses, there are about 6,000 pottery figurines and horses buried in the No. 1 Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit, as well as a large number of bronze weapons.Pit No. 1 is also the most stunning exhibition hall that has been put together so far. You can see a huge army of terracotta warriors standing in the pit, with various shapes. It is said that there are more than 30 types of beards. If you look closely, every soldier is lifelike, from armor to expression, from weapons to the lines on the palms, all of which are amazing.Pit 2 and Pit 3Pit No. 2 and Pit No. 3 are located on both sides of Pit No. 1. Like Pit No. 1, there are nearly 2,000 pottery figurines and horses of similar size to real people and horses. There are different types of soldiers, such as chariot soldiers, cavalry and infantry, arranged in an orderly manner. Although it is not as shocking as Pit No. 1, it is also worth seeing because each pit has different teams and functions.The terracotta warriors were created based on real life, with delicate artistic techniques. The figurines have different costumes and expressions, with distinct personalities and strong characteristics of the times. The bronze weapons unearthed in the pit include swords, halberds, spears, halberds, halberds, crossbows and a large number of arrowheads. Most of the weapons are still sharp after more than 2,000 years, indicating that the metallurgical technology was already very advanced at that time.Travel TipsThe Qin Shi Huang Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum is crowded with tourists every day. You can avoid the peak hours when visiting and start your visit from Pit No. 3. After the visit, you can take the scenic area's tourist bus to the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum.

Terracotta Warriors in Xi’anI recently had the opportunity to visit the Terracotta Warriors in Xi’an, and it was truly a fascinating experience. The sheer scale and historical significance of the site are breathtaking. Thousands of life-sized soldiers, each with unique facial expressions and details, stand in their battle formations#xi , guarding the tomb of China’s first emperor, Qin Shi Huang. The museum is well-organized, with three main pits that house the warriors and other artifacts, including horses and chariots. Pit 1 is the largest and the most impressive, displaying the massive army in neat rows. The attention to detail in each figure is astonishing, and it’s hard to believe that this incredible archaeological discovery was made by chance in 1974. #xi The site also offers a wealth of information about the construction, burial practices, and the history of the Qin Dynasty. The exhibits are informative, though having a guide or audio tour would enhance the experience by providing deeper context. The only downside is that it can get crowded, especially during peak tourist seasons. I’d recommend going early in the day to avoid the rush and to fully appreciate the site without feeling overwhelmed. Overall, visiting the Terracotta Warriors is a must for anyone interested in history, archaeology, or Chinese culture. It’s a glimpse into ancient China that leaves a lasting impression.'an 'anWilliamli393
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!! Terracotta Army explanation channels 1️⃣Official explanation After swiping your ID card twice, go to the first hall on the left, where there is a wall full of staff ID photos, that's the official explanation service desk 💰: 300r/time, 5 people form a group, you can register with the staff, and they will call you after gathering 5 people, so it's 60r per person 2️⃣Officially partnered travel agency explanation Locations: ①Southeast side of the North Gate Square ②West side of the ticket hall ③Inside the west side of the first ticket checkpoint ④Inside the second ticket checkpoint ⑤Inside the Lishan Garden ticket checkpoint 💰: 1-5 people, 90 yuan each; 6-11 people, 100 yuan/time; 12 or more people, 110 yuan/time; earphones 8 yuan/person 3️⃣Travel booking software, travel direct bus with explanation (includes explanation) 4️⃣Unofficial guides outside the scenic area: 30 yuan 5️⃣Rent an electronic audio guide Locations: ①Right side of the ticket hall ②Under the big tree inside the first ticket checkpoint ③Right side inside the second ticket checkpoint 💰: 30 yuan ⚠️Do not forget to bring your ID card!!TechRider1
One of the world's eight wonders that you must see in Xi'an is the Terracotta Army🏨 The Terracotta Army of Emperor Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum ❤Recommended Reason: When in Xi'an, everyone wants to see one of the world's eight wonders, the Terracotta Army. The talents from the south and the generals from the north, the yellow earth of Shaanxi buries the emperor. Just finished visiting the Museum of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses and here to share some tips! 🚉Transport Strategy: Take the direct bus from the front of the Vienna Hotel near the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, which costs 30 RMB per person. 🗓Itinerary: After the first ticket check to enter the Museum of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, there is an electric cart on the left-hand side (5 RMB/person), which I personally do not recommend as it requires waiting in a long line! It takes about ten minutes to walk to the second ticket check. After passing the second check, you will directly reach the site of Pit No.1. The last part of the route passes by the Mausoleum of Emperor Qin Shi Huang. Here you can only get off and not on. After getting off, you have to walk back to the entrance of the visitor center (the guide will also remind you). Electric cart route: Starting point → Acrobatic Figurines Pit (Exhibition Hall k9901) → Bronze Chariot and Horse Pit → Civil Official Figurines Pit (Exhibition Hall k0006) → Endpoint After visiting the Terracotta Army, there is a long commercial street to walk down, which takes about 15 minutes. At the end is the statue of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, and opposite the statue is the shuttle bus to Lishan Garden! Suggested visiting order inside the museum: Pit No.1 — Pit No.3 — Pit No.2 Pit No.1: Quite spectacular and was the first to be discovered Pit No.3: Smaller, serves as the command post Pit No.2: Has a separate glass case displaying five representative terracotta warriors, including the 'Treasure of the Museum' - the kneeling archer that resembles the map of Shaanxi! 📝Note tips: The purchased ticket includes a guided tour inside the museum. There are many 'bare-pole commanders' (unlicensed guides) at the entrance of the Terracotta Army, be careful to discern! There are no toilets inside the museum, make sure to use the toilet at the entrance!WanderlustVoyager12312
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

Walking into the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum of the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum is like traveling through a time tunnel. What is presented before your eyes is a magnificent array of terracotta warriors, lifelike and in various poses. They are dressed in strong armor and are majestic and solemn, as if telling the glory of the past. The history of the Terracotta Warriors can be traced back to the Qin Dynasty, when Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms and established a powerful centralized state. In order to protect his mausoleum, he ordered the construction of this magnificent underground army. These terracotta warriors are not only a symbol of ancient military power, but also a treasure of ancient Chinese civilization.
Overall, it is worth a visit. It is very shocking, and you need an explanation to have a better experience. However, the tour guide of Ctrip with the explanation was too ordinary. She just took us to the door, let us go to the toilet, and then she went to take the bus. There was basically no explanation. When we arrived at the park, we stood there waiting for the museum's tour guide, and there was no explanation. This money is quite easy to earn. The tour guide in the museum had a serious face and spoke like a machine gun, which saved time. The content of the lecture was still quite valuable, and I learned some knowledge. In the end, I had to go into the store.
You must check in when you come to Xi'an. This is one of the eight wonders of the world. It's worth the trip! It's quite shocking, and the explanation is also very good. I learned about the powerful Qin Empire, the past and present of the Terracotta Warriors, and the profound heritage of Chinese civilization. It is worth recommending, very good!
Provide convenient services to the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Before the end of the summer vacation, I took my two children aged 10 and 15 on a trip to Xi'an. We use the Taiwan compatriot ID card You can reserve tickets online for the Archaeological Museum/Qinxuan Museum, which is very convenient. Terracotta Warriors and Horses: It is not possible to make an appointment for children with Taiwan fetal certificates. I asked on the phone. As long as adults have an appointment and have tickets, other regulations will be followed by the regulations of the country. Children's certificates can be exchanged for free tickets at the ticket gate. Huashan: I couldn’t even get an appointment with the adults’ voucher. I asked on the phone: I just gave the hard answer: They all buy tickets at a special ticket gate for a family, and they are guaranteed to have tickets. In these places, children can enjoy the beauty of the mountains and rivers culture of the country. Shaanxi Museum It’s hard to book a ticket. We also book tickets at 10:00/11:00/18:00 as per the rules. Can I really get a ticket? But the amazing thing is that the Taiwan Compatriot ID card can be reserved at the Archaeological Museum/Qinxuan Museum. At the last link, information about no ID card pops up. The phone never goes through Later I wanted to say that all government agencies should be equally convenient for the people. I took a taxi with my kids. I asked the security guy first, and he kindly replied that I would go to the ticket gate and see if he would give me a ticket. When we got to the ticket gate, there must be no tickets today. Did you make an appointment online? Please swipe another QR code on your Taiwan compatriot ID card to make an appointment on another day. But there are no tickets today If you have another choice, why not make it public? I want people to run around and swipe the code if they have a ticket, and if they don’t have a ticket, they swipe the QR code to make an appointment for another day. The child has a good attitude and says to his father: We have nothing to do with him. Let’s go and see it.
I got up early and arrived at around 7:30 and entered at 8 o'clock. It was not as crowded as I imagined, but when I came out after the tour, there were long queues of people, and the flow was limited. People were allowed in every 20 minutes. So you must go early and have a tour guide, otherwise it would be a waste of time and you would not know anything. You would just see a bunch of dirt lumps. Huaqing Palace also hired a tour guide. I watched the Song of Everlasting Regret in the evening, which was pretty good.
A must-see attraction for tourists in Xi'an. Although it is very hot in the summer, if you haven't been to the Terracotta Warriors, you have not been to Xi'an! Currently, there are 3 pits open, and only Pit 1 does not have air conditioning, but the Terracotta Warriors are all in Pit 1, so no matter how hot it is, you have to queue up to go in and see the spectacular sight of this underground army!
Best time to visit is early so that you have started your day here with less crowds. Wander through all areas of the tombs to see a variety of artefacts.
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.
