· Electric car information: Turn right after entering to buy tickets (15 RMB), you need to show the QR code when boarding, and scan it again at each stop. It is recommended to take a screenshot, otherwise, it takes some time to open the phone and wait for the network each time!
· Main tomb area of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor: Only a tombstone is set up, and most netizens think it is not worth getting off the car to visit. It happened to rain that day, so we left the park without getting off.

Free luggage storage is available after security check behind the LED TV wall on the east side of the ticket office of the Terracotta Army Museum.
When you visit the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, be sure to arrange time to visit Lishan Garden to fully experience the history and grandeur of this thousand-year-old imperial tomb!
