Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum

One of the must-visit attractions in Xi'an | Terracotta Army✅ Introduction to the scenic area: The Terracotta Army in Xi'an is truly a miracle that must be seen to be believed. The burial pits of the Terracotta Army of the Mausoleum of Emperor Qin Shihuang are arranged from west to east in a pin-shaped pattern. The first pit discovered was Pit No. 1, which is rectangular and was found by farmers while digging a well. It contains more than 8,000 terracotta soldiers and horses, with sloped entrances on all sides. To the left and right of Pit No. 1 are two other terracotta pits, known as Pit No. 2 and Pit No. 3, which were scientifically discovered by archaeologists through drilling. The terracotta figures are rich and vividly depict a variety of characters with distinct personalities. Their style is robust and refined, full of moving artistic charm, and is a sign that the art of sculpture in ancient China had reached maturity. They not only inherit the pottery sculpture tradition of China since the Warring States period but also laid the foundation for the prosperity of sculpture art in the Tang Dynasty, playing a bridging role. It is hailed as 'the Eighth Wonder of the World' and 'a precious treasure of ancient human civilization'. Included in the UNESCO 'World Heritage List' About the Terracotta Army: The original colors of the Terracotta Army were colorful, with various colors including vermilion, sky blue, and lavender. However, due to the passage of time, most of the colors have faded away, and the remaining painted terracotta figures quickly oxidize and lose their color when exposed to air, turning into a terracotta color. In order to restore the Terracotta Army, archaeologists carefully excavate, patiently restore, and piece together, and it takes a long time for us to see this magnificent and majestic terracotta army formation that shocks the world! The Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty, Li Si, was the unimaginable designer of this terracotta army tomb pit, marveling at the wisdom of the ancients! Using a phrase from the National Treasures: 'Though the terracotta soldiers are nameless, they have a thousand faces. With their flesh and blood, they secure peace for the land and protect the vast rivers and mountains. How can they be nameless? The rivers and mountains are their names.'

"The ground plane is a mysterious mirror. Above the mirror, there are the towering and silent mausoleums; beneath the mirror, the time of the empire still walks." The Mausoleum of Emperor Qin Shi Huang is as big as 78 Forbidden Cities, equivalent to an underground kingdom, and the Terracotta Army is just the tip of the iceberg. Let's talk about the 【Bronze Crown】 bronze chariots and horses, which took 8 years to restore and were made at a scale of one-half of the vehicles used by Emperor Qin Shi Huang's royal fleet. The displayed No. 1 chariot is a replica. The two chariots are mainly made of bronze, and they are the earliest, largest, most complex, most complete, highest level, most exquisitely made, and best-preserved bronze chariots unearthed in China. They are also the largest bronze artifacts discovered in world archaeology. 👀Recommended visiting order for the Terracotta Army: Pit No. 1—Pit No. 3—Pit No. 2 Pit No. 1: Currently the pit with the most terracotta warriors, the first three rows without armor are infantry (dare-to-die troops). I thought I couldn't capture the effect of the sunset on the terracotta warriors on a rainy day (in fact, I couldn't without a telephoto lens), but there is a warm light spotlight overhead, which photographers can use to create. Pit No. 3: It is the command center, currently the smallest in scale. Deer bones have been unearthed in the pit, presumably used by the army for divination. Pit No. 2: Still being "developed", there is a work area set up on-site, and archaeologists are usually present to restore the terracotta warriors. ♢The warriors in this pit are special forces, among which the kneeling archer was unearthed intact, the only one that has not been restored, with clear hair, shoelace eyelets, fingernails, and even palm prints visible. ♢The Terracotta Army has a unique face for each soldier, the ultimate in realism, admiring the craftsmanship of the artisans two thousand years ago, and also paying tribute to today's cultural relic restorers. 👉🏻About stamping: After exiting Pit No. 2, go to the cultural and creative store on the left outside (the ice cream sold there has no eyes), where you need to buy a pass for 35 yuan, and staff will help you stamp it. 🚌Transportation: Take Line 1/6 to 'Textile City', transfer to Line 9 to 'Huaqing Pool', and then take a bus or taxi (10 yuan/person) to get there. 🎫Ticket: 120 yuan/person (includes the Terracotta Army + Mausoleum of Emperor Qin Shi Huang) Students 60 yuan/person 📍Address: Emperor Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum Museum, Lintong District, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province ⏰Opening hours: 8:30~18:00 (entry stops at 17:00)

Let's embark on a journey through China's historical and cultural cities, and explore the charm of the eight ancient capitals. First comes Xi'an, with its mysterious Terracotta Warriors, the magnificent Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and the ancient city walls that have withstood the test of time. Next is Luoyang, where the Longmen Grottoes and the White Horse Temple showcase the profound depth of ancient culture. Then there's Nanjing, with the Confucius Temple and the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, reflecting the glory of the Ming Dynasty. Following is Beijing, with the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace, where we can appreciate the grandeur of emperors. There's also Hangzhou, with the scenic beauty of West Lake and the Lingyin Temple, which are unforgettable. Then comes Zhengzhou, with the Shaolin Temple and the Kaifeng Prefecture, where we can learn about the long-standing culture of the Central Plains. Lastly is Anyang, the birthplace of oracle bones and the I Ching, which makes one marvel at the longevity of Chinese civilization. Each of these eight ancient capitals has its unique features, and every city has unforgettable scenery and stories. As a traveler, my personal favorites are Xi'an, Luoyang, Nanjing, Beijing, and Hangzhou. Xi'an, in particular, with its unique historical background and rich cultural heritage, is a place that makes one want to return again and again. Of course, each city has its unique charm, and I hope everyone will have the chance to experience them firsthand.

Recommended 9⃣ favorite cities | Xi'an Travel Date: May 2021. Xi'an, formerly known as Chang'an, was the capital of thirteen dynasties, hence it has the deepest cultural heritage and history. I have been to Xi'an several times back and forth. Here, you can encounter history, culture, cuisine, architecture... 📸 Itinerary DAY01: Shaanxi History Museum - Da Ci'en Temple/Grand Tang Mall DAY02: Terracotta Army of Emperor Qin Shi Huang - Huaqing Pool Performance DAY03: Famen Temple - Ancient City Wall - Muslim Street/Spray Gold Bridge 🔥 Key points here / Pitfall Guide 📍 Shaanxi History Museum China's first large-scale modern national museum, with a collection of over 370,000 items, ranging from Shang and Zhou bronzes, terracotta figures from various dynasties, Han and Tang gold and silverware to Tang tomb murals, known as the treasure house of Chinese civilization. ▪️ Book in advance, Tang Dynasty Mural Exhibition 300 yuan / Tang Dynasty Treasures 30 yuan ▪️ Human guide basic hall 100, treasure hall 50 yuan ▪️ Audio guide rental 30, deposit 100 📍 Da Ci'en Temple/Grand Tang Paradise/Grand Tang Mall Da Ci'en Temple is most famous for the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, which was built under the supervision of Xuanzang to preserve the scriptures and Buddha statues he brought back. Grand Tang Paradise is mainly a large-scale royal theme park showcasing the culture of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. There are also many performances in the park at different times. 🌈 If time is short, it is recommended to go directly to the Grand Tang Mall to experience the bustling Tang Dynasty night market! After all, the night view here is exciting! 📍 Muslim Street/Spray Gold Bridge Muslim Street is basically one of the most concentrated tourist food spots, very crowded, and the dining prices on Muslim Street are not cheap, it can be treated as a sight to stroll through. ➡️ As for Spray Gold Bridge, there are fewer people compared to Muslim Street, but it's not exactly off the beaten path anymore. I personally recommend the old alleys next to Spray Gold Bridge, which are very nice to walk through and have an authentic local atmosphere. 📍 Terracotta Army of Emperor Qin Shi Huang Approved by the United Nations in 1987 to be listed in the 'World Heritage List', it is known as the eighth wonder of the world. This attraction needs no introduction, a pride of the Chinese people. It's very crowded, be careful not to get pushed over. 📍 Huaqing Pool Huaqing Pool, also known as Li Palace, where Yang Guifei bathed, is a very small pool. 🌈 The evening performance of 'The Song of Everlasting Sorrow' is recommended, with a total of ten acts, lasting 70 minutes. The performance is beautiful, and the prosperity of the Grand Tang Dynasty is worth seeing. 📍 Famen Temple Founded during the Eastern Han Dynasty, it has a history of over 1900 years. Located in Baoji City, also known as the True Body Pagoda, it became a holy place for Buddhism because it houses the finger bone relics of Sakyamuni Buddha. Famen Temple visit order: Old Temple > Museum > New Temple ➡️ Inside the Ten-Combined Relic Pagoda, which has an investment of over 5 billion, there is a performance about the past of Famen, which is quite beautiful. Friends who have the money and leisure can go and see it. 📍 Ancient City Wall On the last day, you can climb the Ming Dynasty Ancient City Wall, which is the largest and most intact ancient city wall existing in China. There are four city gates in total, and the wall is especially magnificent at sunset. Highly recommended!

The scenic area of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor consists of two parts, one is Lishan Garden🌲, and the other is the museum🏛. Personally, I feel that both places are very much worth visiting, but many tour guides do not recommend Lishan Garden, as they would rather have you buy Lantian jade💎 in the museum. The bronze chariots and horses🐎 in Lishan Garden are very valuable and definitely worth seeing, so make sure to go‼✅ The Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is as large as 78 Forbidden Cities, equivalent to an underground kingdom🏰, and the Terracotta Army is just the tip of the iceberg⛰. Let's talk about the 【Crown of Bronze】chariots and horses, which took 8 years to restore and were made at a scale of one-half of the vehicles used by Emperor Qin Shi Huang's entourage. The displayed No. 1 chariot is a replica🚂. The main body of the two chariots is cast in bronze, and they are the earliest, largest, most complex, most complete, highest-ranking, most exquisitely made, and best-preserved bronze chariots and horses unearthed in China, as well as the largest bronze artifacts discovered in world archaeology🔍. After listening to the explanation, I learned how the ancients controlled the horses (although very wise, it's animal abuse...🙊). The bronze chariots and horses demonstrate the Qin dynasty's scientific and rational harnessing method, superb bronze casting technology, and the art of color painting🎨 Precautions: 1⃣ Book in advance on the platform with an ID card, or purchase tickets on a certain platform💳 2⃣ The Terracotta Army site has three pits open for visiting, in the following order: First Pit: The largest, with 2,000 terracotta warriors unearthed so far, very spectacular on the first visit (allow extra time⏳) Third Pit: The command center of the army formation, not large and all unearthed🔎 Second Pit: More complex formation, more complete types of soldiers, the most spectacular military formation of the three pits, so far very few artifacts have been excavated, and only a small part is on display🏞 3⃣ Peak hours are from 9-11 am and 1-4 pm🕔. It is recommended to go early or late to avoid the crowds of tour groups👥 4⃣ You can first visit Lishan Garden (included in the ticket, which many people overlook) to see the cultural relics exhibition, etc., and then go back to pits 1, 2, and 3 to see the Terracotta Army, with a free shuttle bus (behind the large statue) available🚖 5⃣ The most important point, ⚠ be sure to listen to the explanations (many small stories and background knowledge add interest to the visit). I rented an audio guide (because it was too noisy to hear clearly, I later listened in) and you can join a tour guide at the entrance🗣

#chinatrip Great experience. Together with the Great Wall tells you why was China such great empire, and why it is becoming again. However, it can be a bit crowdy. Official parking available at very enterance, so don't react to many parking offers before. Personal guides with questionable English knoweledge available at enterence. Price starts from 50 eur, but it is nagotionable. Better solution is to take electronic guide available at the counter before entetence, with price between 5 and 10 eur. Try to buy souvenires as close to the exit gate as possible, because prices are lower than closer to the exhibition halls.
