• The Museum of Qin Terra-cotta Warriors and Horses - At the museum, here’s a summary of what visitors can explore:

1. The Three Main Excavation Pits (The Heart of the Museum)
   • Pit 1: The largest and most awe-inspiring. It features over 6,000 life-sized Terracotta warriors and horses arranged in battle formation. The scale, with rows of infantry, chariots, and cavalry, is truly breathtaking.
   • Pit 2: More intricate and considered the ‘highlight’ of the army’s military array. It includes archers, cavalry, charioteers, and infantry in mixed formations.
   • Pit 3: The smallest, believed to be the high command headquarters. It contains high-ranking officers, a war chariot, and fewer soldiers. Its layout suggests it was the command post.
2. The Actual Archaeological Works in Progress
   • A key part of the visit is witnessing this active dig site. In Pits 1 and 2, visitors can observe archaeologists at work, meticulously cleaning and reassembling fragments. The process of discovery unfolds in real-time.
   • Visiting Pit 1 – Pit 2 – Pit 3.

• Emperor Qinshihuang’s Mausoleum Site Museum - At Emperor QinShiHuang’s Mausoleum, here’s a summary of what visitors can explore:

1. The Unexcavated Tomb Mound of Emperor QinShiHuang:
   • The reason for the entire army. The pyramid-shaped burial mound of the First Emperor is visible in the distance. It remains unexcavated and is likely to stay so for centuries due to technical challenges and respect for the deceased. It is a powerful, mysterious presence overlooking the site.
2. The Bronze Chariots and Horses Exhibition Hall:
   • This hall houses two incredibly detailed, half-life-size bronze chariots, each drawn by four bronze horses. Discovered near the tomb in 1980, they are masterpieces of ancient metallurgy. They are fully functional and adorned with gold and silver fittings. This hall is air-conditioned and feels like a treasure vault.
