Traveling back in time to the Qin Dynasty

Unveiling Ancient Legends at the Terracotta Warriors 🏺✨
Step into Xi'an and enter the world of emperors—the mighty Terracotta Army is a jaw-dropping spectacle where thousands of lifelike warriors guard the secrets of China’s first dynasty. The modern Exhibition Hall, backed by sunny vistas and close-up architecture, brings history alive at the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum Museum.

Start your journey at the Tomb of Prisoners inside the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor (Lintong District). Walking through these ancient grounds, imagine the epic moment when archaeologists first uncovered these warriors in fragmented pieces—it took years of painstaking work to restore them! Tip: Snap an outdoor shot by the mausoleum for a classic landscape view.

Next, head 1.5 km east to the Terra-Cotta Warriors No. 3 Pit (open 09:00–16:00 year-round). Make sure to visit the main Exhibition Hall for stunning displays—go for close-up shots of the warrior’s intricate armor and haunting expressions. This is your “building close-up” moment! Don’t miss the instaworthy panoramic angle of the entire pit from the raised gallery. Tip: The best natural light hits the shields and faces in the late morning.

Visiting tips: Arrive early to dodge the crowds and maximize your time at the exhibits.
