Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: The Museum of Qin Terra-cotta Warriors and Horses, Qinling North Road, Lintong District, Xi'an 710600 China
The Terracotta Army is a collection of terracotta sculptures depicting the armies of Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China. It is a form of funerary art buried with the emperor in 210–209 BCE with the purpose of protecting the emperor in his afterlife.
The figures, dating from approximately the late third century BCE,were discovered in 1974 by local farmers in Lintong County, outside Xi'an, Shaanxi, China. The figures vary in height according to their roles, with the tallest being the generals. The figures include warriors, chariots and horses. Estimates from 2007 were that the three pits containing the Terracotta Army held more than 8,000 soldiers, 130 chariots with 520 horses, and 150 cavalry horses, the majority of which remained buried in the pits near Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum. Other terracotta non-military figures were found in other pits, including officials, acrobats, strongmen, and musicians.

Would highly recommend this tour. Our tour guide Owen was great with his communication prior to the tour with e-mails and texts to ensure we are kept right up to date on the arrangements and meeting location. Bang on time a call to our hotel room advising us he was ready in the lobby for our day. The transportation was clean with an excellent confident driver which is a must in the challenging roads of China. On Owens recommendation we agreed the Terracotta Warriors are best left to the afternoon due to the morning crowd, so we headed into Xian to the other sights. Owen gave us a great trip into the history and sights of central Xian, allowing plenty of time to look and ask questions, his knowledge was awesome. Lunch was marvellous, in the Chinese restaurant with plenty to eat and drink, also catering for vegetarians. On to the star attraction of the warriors, again his knowledge along with the sight we had travelled 6500miles to see made it a day we will never forget. Would highly recommend this trip and Owen and his team, outstanding
This trip was amazing, with the tourguide Rosemary. She told me a lot about the history of Xian. The Terracotta Warriors was also something that I find very interesting. The City Wall has it own historyand Rosemary told me this in perfect and amazing words. The lunch in a nearby local restaurant was so good and I was very satisfied with the food. The Great Mosque was very crowded with incredibly many people. It sold local food in a lot of stands. I was incredibly pleased with this trip, and if someone gets Rosemary as a guide you can be happy
Very good. Had as much time as I wanted with Terracotta warriors. Good meal. Car could have been a little nicer. Guide's English could be slightly better. Overall very pleased.
