The Museum of Qin Terra-cotta Warriors and Horses

Pick up from your hotel in Xian aroud 2:00pm and drive to the site of Terracotta Warriors or a 2-3 hour visit. The original site was found by four local farmers drilling a well in 1974. Now it has turned into the most important attraction in Xian. The museum includes Pit 1, Pit 2 and Pit 3 as well as the exhibition hall of the chariots and horses. The Pit 1 is the largest of the three. The museum and the mausoleum are listed as UNSCO World Cultural Heritage.

A Song of Everlasting Sorrow

After Chinese dinner, you are arranged to move on to Huaqing Hot Spring where a grand singing and dancing performance, a historical drama titled "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" is put on. The site of Huaqing Hot Spring is located under the Lishan Mountain just 5 km east of the Terracotta Warriors and Horse Museum. It is famous for the romantic love story of Emperor Xuanzong (685-762) and his concubine Yang Yuhuan in the Tang Dynasty (618-907). The Song of Everlasting Sorrow is very popular in each peak season especially from July to October. We suggest you book this tour at least 7 days in advance, or the tour may have to be canceled if tickets are sold out. After watching the performance, you are returned to your hotel in Xian around 10:00pm.
