⚔️ Awe at the ‘eigth wonder of the world’ ⚔️

🕰️Business Hours: 8:30 - 18:00 (make sure you leave time to travel between sites!) 📍Address: Lintong, China (If in Xi’an, take subway 1 to Fangzhicheng 🔄 changing here for subway 9 to Yinqiaodqdao. You can then take a short Didi(taxi) to the site for around ¥15-20) 💰Average Price per Person: ¥120 Full Adult Ticket (gives you access to the Pits (main site) and Mausoleum (where you can find the Bronze Chariots) 🛜 WeChat channel: 秦始皇帝陵博物院 (This is the official channel site on WeChat where you can buy tickets in advance. Recommended by the issuer) There are few words that can accurately describe the feeling you get here. A sense of awe, incredulity, and insignificance at the might of this magnificent achievement. As I approached Pit 1, my first stop on the warriors tour, I tried to prepare for what I was about to see. But when I looked over the rails that tower over the excavated chambers, I was overwhelmed. It is incredible. One of the most impressive artefacts I have ever seen. And what is amazing still is that we have only excavated 1/5th of the entire compound!!! For anyone considering a trip here to see this majestic relic of Chinese history, I emplor you to do it. In fact, I would go as far as to say it is a must if you are in China. What amazing things our ancestors did! Tips: 1 - Go early or midday to avoid crowds. Try to avoid holiday periods too. 2- You can shuttle for free between sites. The bus port is at the end of the shopping area you pass through on the way out of the first site—AKA the Pits and Exhibition Hall. Make sure to politely decline the offers for taxi services, unless you would rather not share a shuttle and take a taxi over there. 3- It took me most of the day to see. I went through each bit carefully, making sure to soak in as much of the history as possible, and I ended up missing one of the pits at the Mausoleum site! Aim for 4-5h max at the first site, and 2-3h at the second. 4- Go Pit 1 -> Pit 3 -> Pit 2 -> Exhibition Hall at the main site. At the Mausoleum, it is advisable to take a shuttle when on the site as there can be a lot of walking, (this is separate from the shuttle between sites. They are easy to find at the ticket entrance section). 5- Finally, go get a picture with the warriors. You can do this at Pit 3. And you take with you a memory for a lifetime. Enjoy! ✌️ #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip #sightseeing
