What To Expect

The Museum of Qin Terra-cotta Warriors and Horses

Emperor Qin Shi Huang (259 - 210BC), the first emperor of the first unified dynasty of Imperial China, left the UNESCO World Heritage Site to Xian. You will see a super large collection of life-size terra cotta sculptures in battle formations, reproducing the mega imperial guard troops. Being the most significant archeological excavations of the 20th century, the Terracotta Army is no doubt a must-see for every visitor to Xi'an.

A guide is essential to understand the experience and to navigate the crowds. I highly recommend reading a bit about this before going.

A very nice event in itself, but the hint that the Mausoleums area is very large and the caddy Service would be more than advisable should be highlighted more clearly.

What a fantastic visit. Rodger was brilliant. He helped us find the quickest lines and knew how to get us in the best spots to view the warriors. Really knowledgeable. We would genuinely recommend him as a guide.
Expendable if you don't have much time in China

You don't really see anything you haven't seen in photos and it doesn't give you that feeling of greatness that you expect when you enter. They take you over the edge of the pit and you see the statues quite a distance away. If you were at least allowed to pass at the same height of a statue, to get an idea of the dimensions, it would be much more spectacular in my opinion. With the wonders of this country, I would never move here again to see it.
It should be one of the modern wonders

Needless to say, how magnificent the terracotta army is. Everything worked out just fine. If I had to rebook I would take the ticket with shuttle included. However nice walk between the army and the emperor's tomb although not recommended for those not used to walking much. Consider that the site is already huge and without an internal shuttle it stretches a few kilometers. Wonderful experience.
