There are some terracotta warrior replica scenes, and I am a little scared in the dark.
After passing through, it is actually an underground shopping mall, but it is also a must-go on the route, unless you go down the stairs and circle around the square or return the same way.
Weird experience
This one is pretty average, nothing special.
There is a performance below this, go early to see it, it's pretty good
It is small in scale and you can visit it on the way through the scenic area. There are replicas of Terracotta Warriors and performances of performance art.
Hengdian World Studios is a filming location for films and TV series from the Qin and Han dynasties. Tickets for a single attraction cost 170 yuan, more expensive than the Xi'an City Wall entrance fee.
Just a little bit. The back is full of shopping, all kinds of winding. After seeing the front, you can come out. Don't go shopping.
I didn't have any impression after walking around... I just remember that the shopping exit took 1 minute to walk... He set it to 10 minutes... all kinds of detours...
It mainly houses a miniature version of the Terracotta Army, scenes from some famous operas, and a place selling various specialties.
A must-visit place for checking in, a must-see location for filming!
I may not have found the entrance, so I just visited some attractions inside the city walls on both sides. The scene was quite gloomy.
The shopping mall in the underground imperial city is disgusting. It's a short distance, but it feels like several miles away, forcing people to walk in circles in the mall.
The history here in Hengdian is all fake. There are a lot of messed up historical stories in the underground imperial city. You can take a look. The last exit requires you to go through a tourist shopping supermarket. It’s a long way to go before you can get out. It’s not very happy.
It feels a bit old and looks faker than on TV.
Next stop is the Underground Imperial City. This is an exhibition hall displaying stills, costumes, and props from films and television shows filmed in the Qin Palace. There's also a collection of replicas of the Terracotta Warriors, meticulously arranged in formation, each with a lifelike expression. A closer look reveals that most resemble Qin people with flat faces and narrow eyes, but some also have three-dimensional features with European and American influences, perhaps descendants of the Qin people mixed with the Rong, Di, and Qiang peoples. Some even sport adorable expressions like crooked necks and twisted waists, which amuse visitors.
Change the name. Underground Mall. The time spent on sightseeing is not as much as the time spent on selling things outside.
The underground imperial city does have its own unique features, mainly the Terracotta Warriors. However, you have to walk to the exit, and the winding shopping mall is so crowded during holidays that it is almost frustrating. It is so long that you can't see the end, which is a terrible experience.
It's worth a visit, in the Qin Emperor's Palace scenic area, good

It's OK, but there are too many people. There are miniature terracotta warriors and props used in the Qin Palace film and television works.
The place where things are sold is just below the palace, not worth going to
The underground imperial city of the Qin Palace is like seeing the Terracotta Warriors in Xi'an.
There are two fake bronze men at the entrance of the Lower Imperial Mausoleum scenic spot. They scare people when they go to watch them. On that street, there are people playing Jing Ke, the King of Qin, and they have also slightly restored the Terracotta Warriors.
It is completely modeled after the Terracotta Army and you have to go through a long shopping mall to get out, which is a bit of a rip-off.
I have visited the Qin Underground Palace and there are all kinds of Qin people's things.
They basically sell small commodities, and there is no underground imperial city atmosphere at all.
The underground imperial city has a part of the Terracotta Army exhibition, and the other part is a shopping mall. It takes a long time to walk out.
It's not big, just satisfying. There is a place selling local specialties inside, which seems to be all cakes.
If you go to Hengdian, you must visit the Qin Palace and the Dragon Emperor inside.
I haven't been to Xi'an, but it's nice to see this scaled-down version of the Terracotta Warriors.
It's just the Terracotta Warriors, which I'm not interested in. There are also many places selling specialties, which feels like a walk around a supermarket.
A small underground imperial city where you can see small Qin Terracotta Warriors.
The underground mainly passes through a large shopping mall or something like that, where local specialties are sold.
Some daily necessities from the Qin Dynasty are preserved underground, which can reflect the social living conditions at that time, as well as a super small terracotta warrior.
The Terracotta Army is too dark to be photographed, but it is still worthy of respect. This is ancient art.
Although the attractions are not as good as those in Beijing, Xi'an, Xianyang and other places, they are still very good. For star-chasers, you never know when you will run into your favorite star.
I'm not particularly fond of man-made structures, but it's okay to visit them.
It is the place you will pass by before leaving the Qin Palace. Inside are replicas of Terracotta Warriors and the like. It mainly sells things.
In fact, it is like an exhibition hall, like the exhibition in a museum
It's good, but the lighting is a problem. The twelve Chinese zodiac figurines at the exit are a bit scary.
The underground imperial city has a part of the Terracotta Army exhibition, and the other part is a shopping mall. It takes a long time to walk out.
The first stop was the Qin Palace, which was quite grand, but some places were not accessible.
It's nice to watch, especially the movie screenings. It's very interesting and easy to see the crew and stars.
It is placed in a glass cabinet. It feels so-so. It is also part of the Qin Palace. It is not big. It is so-so.
A very short underground corridor with a row of eerie terracotta warriors standing on both sides.
It is located under the main hall of the Qin Palace. There are many cultural relics from that period, as well as replicas of the Terracotta Army. Although it is underground, its scale is also spectacular.
There are tons of replicas of the Terracotta Warriors! There are also a lot of set designs for film crews, including those for heroes, sleeping on straw and tasting gall, and Emperor Wu of Han. There are even Chinese zodiac animals at the exit! But to get out, you have to walk through a bunch of local specialties...
If you have been to the Terracotta Warriors, you don't need to go there. If you haven't been, you can take a look.
I have always wanted to visit Xi'an, but I never had the chance. There are many terracotta warriors and horses in the underground imperial city of the Qin Palace. Most of them are in the windows and can only be seen from a distance. They should be imitations. In addition to a road with terracotta warriors, the underground imperial city is a large supermarket selling souvenirs. There are some special products in it. I bought two bags of pastries, which were very unpalatable and far inferior to the authentic pastries in that store.
It was a bit spooky, and I also played a 4D scene experience that I didn't know was 5D. It was pretty good.
There were no shops there when I went there two years ago, but now there are shops. It's too commercialized.
You can see some Qin terracotta warriors and props used by the crew during filming. The exit is a supermarket selling goods.
Seeing the Terracotta Warriors gave me a historical perspective. However, I didn't like the fact that there were so many souvenir shops in the underground imperial city. It was too commercial. I definitely need to visit Xi'an sometime and see the real Qin Palace.
My favorite place in the whole Hengdian is the Qin Palace, which is very imposing. There are imitations of the Terracotta Warriors in the underground imperial city, and you can also buy local specialties. Of course, these specialties are not that special!
There's nothing much there, it's just an underground mall that sells things.
It should be a newly opened attraction. I have been there twice and didn’t seem to see it.
We were the last ones to visit this place. We were about to leave to go to other attractions, but we found an entrance and went in. We didn't walk for long, so we didn't see the Terracotta Warriors or anything like that. I felt like we missed out. I heard there are a lot of small commodity vendors there, but I don't really like these vendors. They are too commercialized. We were there to see the attractions, not to go shopping, and the items they sell were all about the same size.
It feels like all the objects are very large and the overall momentum sounds majestic.
Standing inside the underground imperial city, I was dazed. For a moment, I thought I had gone to the underground imperial city in Xi'an. There is a royal banquet in Hengdian with unparalleled beauty.
In the Qin Palace scenic area, there is an underground place. It is called the underground palace.
This was the place on the way out of the Qin Palace.
At first I said I didn't dare to go there, but it's actually an underground museum imitating the Terracotta Warriors.
At first I didn’t dare to go down. There were several passages at the back that went down together, but after walking through an alley there was a souvenir shop.
There is everything, and it feels very expensive, but there are still people buying souvenirs and the like.
I was just looking for an outlet.
But I can act upstairs and shop downstairs without any interruption.
The underground imperial city is divided into two parts: the front part is where some cultural relics of the Qin Dynasty are displayed, and the back part is where local specialty products are sold.
There are many replicas of the Terracotta Warriors. No need to go to Xi'an to see the Terracotta Warriors.
It feels just so-so, just a long tunnel... The decorations of various ancient tombs on the surrounding walls are quite realistic.
The feeling of being there, is this feeling of traveling through time?
There are many terracotta warriors and horses, and it feels a bit eerie when there are few people.
It’s very realistic, but spooky, but fun!
This is fun, a 4D attraction. The plot is a bit boring, but it is among the top three attractions in Hengdian Scenic Area.
Terracotta Warriors, books, tables, chairs and weapons from the Qin and Han dynasties. Basically, they sell things.
I queued up to watch a 4D movie. The special effects were great and it felt like I was there. It's worth watching.
Great. Lots of them look like the Terracotta Army. 👇 See pictures
It is inside the Qin Palace. It feels a little bit eerie when you walk in. The timid ones should avoid it.
Many blockbusters were filmed here. The underground imperial city scene reproduces the classic scenes of four film and television blockbusters: "Hero", "Emperor Wu of Han", "The Emperor and the Assassin" and "King Goujian of Yue", and preserves a variety of props left on the set.
It feels a little bit eerie, very eerie!
It feels like a commercial pedestrian street. It's not very big, but you have to walk in a U-shaped pattern and look at the local specialties. Whether you like it or not, you have to follow the flow of customers. Don't go during holidays, as it will be even more suffocating.
This place is inside the Qin Palace. Enter the palace opposite the main gate. Go up the stairs next to it and you will see a small door.
When I first entered, I wasn't overly impressed. There were some beautiful reliefs on either side, and on the left, there was a pavilion that looked like a teahouse. Then, as I walked forward, I began to see the Terracotta Warriors, a scene that was quite impressive. There were small rooms on each side, with a warrior displayed about a meter apart. While the warriors on either side were impressive, what I stumbled upon through the glass window on the right was truly stunning. I hadn't expected such a detail. Inside, the warriors were arranged in the same style as the Terracotta Warriors of Xi'an. Some were short figures, but most were life-size, looking old and remarkably like the Terracotta Warriors. There were figures holding weapons, figures resembling prime ministers, and even soldiers and horses, resembling an army. I seemed to understand why the ruthless King Qin was so afraid of loneliness and so desperate for a large circle of people around him. Born into a dysfunctional family and having an unusual childhood, he felt extremely insecure.
Perhaps because the terracotta warriors are in a secret room, visitors can't enter, so they can only be viewed through a layer of glass. This makes them feel more realistic, and there's no need to worry about them getting damaged or stained. The lighting is also well-coordinated, with a warm yellow hue that adds a touch of mystery.
I must complain about the glass window that overlooks the Terracotta Warriors. Shouldn't it be cleaner? After all, it's the only way to see the warriors, and yet it's so dirty. Also, the area next to the Terracotta Warriors is used for souvenirs and other things. If this area were converted into a display area for the warriors, with more space and a single expanse of glass, it would be even more spectacular.
Even with such detailed writing, I still don’t get a gold medal? So sad.
If you can avoid going, don’t go. If you must go down, it’s best to return the same way you came when you see a store. Otherwise, the S-shaped shopping route will make you exhausted, hehe...
