After arriving there, you will appreciate the marvelous Terracotta Warriors in full battle array of Emperor Qin's tomb. The Qin Terracotta Army was built to be buried with the first emperor of Qin when he died. Chinese emperors usually began to built their tombs when he was still alive. Qin Shi Huang began to build his tomb soon after he became an emperor. It took about 40 years to finish the whole project.

In the morning, your tour guide will pick up you from your hotel lobby at confirmed time between 8:00-9:00. Your tour guide will inform you the specific pick-up time the night before through calling your hotel room or notify the reception desk.

Then you will take about 40 minutes to reach the famous Terracotta Warriors and Horses. On the way to there, you will first make a short visit to the Terracotta Figures Factory which focuses on the reproduction of the miniature Terra-cotta Soldiers. (If you are unwilling to go to the factory, just tell our travel consultants in advance that they will arrange a non-shopping itinerary for you or you can choose the No Shopping Group tour(Route B) when you make the booking.)

Visit the Terracotta Warriors Museum (2.5 hours)

After arriving, you will visit the  Terracotta Warriors and Horses (40 miles away from downtown), the greatest archaeological findings of the 20th century——the army of terra-cotta warriors and the bronze chariots entombed in vast underground vaults at emperor Qin's tomb.It will take around 2.5 hours to appreciate there.

Three vaults of warriors and horses have been discovered for now. Vault 1 is the largest pit among the three. These three pits covers an area of over 20 thousand square kilometers. The warriors and horses are the same size as those in real life. Each of the warriors looks different. The weapons the warriors holding are all made of metal, which can be used in real wars. It indicates that Qin Dynasty’s metallurgical technology and weapon-manufacturing technique already had reached quite a high level. No wonder people say that it is an underground army.

Have lunch at the local restaurant

At noon, you will be provided the typical Chinese lunch, which will certainly satisfy your taste buds. Please tell us your food preference in advance, such as a vegetarian diet, Muslim food, gluten-free food, and etc. so that we will be able to prepare in advance.
