We joined a local group tour to the Terracotta Army and Huaqing Palace. The good part was the guide: warm, never pushy about shopping, and genuinely funny. The less good part: he did recommend the two evening shows, and the bottle of local soda promised on the page turned out to be a small bag of snacks. Still a solid day out.
Terracotta Army · Huaqing Palace
The First Emperor’s buried army and a Tang dynasty hot-spring palace, in one day from Xi’an
老实说
这一天到底怎么过The 07:30 start is not padding. Pit 1 is shoulder-to-shoulder from about ten, and the two hours you gain are the difference between seeing the army and seeing other people’s phones.
适合
- First visit to Xi’an
- Families — the pits need no explanation
什么情况下别订
Anyone who has already been: this route repeats the standard circuit, and the Tang show at Huaqing is a separate ticket.
Tickets are tied to the passport used at booking and checked at the gate. A nickname or a shortened name gets you turned away.
一天的起点与终点
以下时间皆为出发时间Free pick-up at hotels inside the Second Ring Road; the guide confirms the exact time the evening before
一天,细到每一分钟
6 个停靠点Local time (GMT+8). Site order may change on days with visitor caps.
Pick-up in Xi’an接送
Free from hotels inside the Second Ring Road; some Third Ring hotels can be arranged, confirmed the evening before
Emperor Qinshihuang’s Mausoleum Site Museum景点
About 3 hours: the infantry array in Pit 1, the command post in Pit 2, Pit 3, and the bronze chariots. A park shuttle (¥5, own expense) links the gate to the pits
Lunch用餐
In Lintong town — biangbiang noodles and offal soup are the local standards. Set group meals run about ¥30 per person
Huaqing Palace景点
About 2.5 hours: the excavated Tang bathing pools, Nine-Dragon Lake, and the Five-Room Hall where Chiang Kai-shek was arrested in 1936 — the bullet holes are still in the glass
Return to Xi’an车程
Roughly one hour by expressway
Drop-off in the city centre返程
Usually near the Bell Tower or Muslim Quarter, leaving the evening free
坐高铁前来
高速铁路这条路线的起点与终点都在西安。多数旅客从Xi'an North Railway Station抵达——接送集合点离出口只有一小段出租车或地铁的距离,行程结束后也来得及坐晚上的火车。如果你从别的城市过来,可以先查直达高铁,以及首班与末班的时间。
进与出
依路线而异What’s included
- Terracotta Army admission (¥120 in high season)
- Huaqing Palace admission (¥120)
- Air-conditioned coach for the full day
- Mandarin-speaking guide
- Hotel pick-up inside the Second Ring Road
Not included
- Lunch (group set meal about ¥30, or eat on your own)
- Shuttle inside the museum (¥5)
- “The Song of Everlasting Sorrow” evening show at Huaqing (from ¥288)
- Personal expenses and gratuities
- Tickets are tied to ID. Bring the passport or ID used at booking — the name must match exactly, and it is checked at the gate.
- The museum never closes, but Pit 1 is shoulder-to-shoulder after 10:00 in summer and on public holidays. The early departure is the only reliable way around it.
- “The Song of Everlasting Sorrow” is an outdoor night show at Huaqing, running March to October. It does not clash with the day tour, but you arrange your own return.
- Guides may not use loudspeakers inside the pits; the group uses wireless headsets (¥20 on some departures). Lose the guide and you lose the commentary.
- Lintong hits 40 °C in summer and the exhibition halls are not air-conditioned; the pits are cold and damp in winter. Dress in layers.
Built for first-time visitors who want both UNESCO sites in one day. Walking is modest, so it works with children and older parents.
