What To Expect

The Museum of Qin Terra-cotta Warriors and Horses

Avoid crowded tour buses and slow-moving tour groups with a handy private driver to take you to the famous Terracotta Warriors. Meet your local guide at 8am(or at a specific time according to your time schedule) and drive directly to Terracotta Warriors. You are expecting 7000 life size terracotta warriors all in the real battle formation, which were buried underground over 2200 years (recommended visiting time: 2.5 hours with lots of flat walking). The Museum visit includes three original pits, Pit 1 as the main force, Pit 2 as the Flexible Troupe and Pit 3 as Command center. There is also an exhibition hall for different exhibitions from time to time. This is definitely a treasure house to study the history of the first dynasty of China, the Qin Dynasty. After the visit, have a local lunch at your own cost or watch an optional cultural show or drop you off at your hotel.

We weren’t sure about making a stop in Xi’An during our relatively short stay in China but this tour made it one of our trip’s highlights! We learned so much about the Terracotta Warriors as well as Chinese history and culture. Hassle free tour, took us to the best spots to look at the warriors’ details and take pictures. Would 100% recommend!

This was just a true delight. We really connected with our guide and she gave us great insight both into the terra cotta warriors history, as well as the greater history of Xi’an, both older and newer. Will highly recommend
