The Museum of Qin Terra-cotta Warriors and Horses - As a former capital of China, Xi’an was the seat of the Chinese Emperor for over 10 dynasties spanning 1,000 years. On this full-day, 8-hour private tour, you will visit one of Xi’an’s highlights, the thousands of life-sized terracotta warriors in the impressive mausoleum museum. Visiting the Terracotta Warriors and Horses is a highlight of any Xi’an tour, offering a chance to see more than 8,000 life-size Qin Dynasty-era model soldiers. Discovered in 1974, the warriors are located east of Emperor Qin Shihuang’s Tomb, where the first unifier of China is buried. Among the three pits, Pit No. 1 is the largest, containing over 6,000 clay warriors and horses in 11 three-meter deep corridors. Since their discovery, the warriors have captivated the world’s imagination, traveling globally from England to America to Chile. The warriors and horses are now back in China, displayed in an oblong battle formation of the Qin Dynasty. Facing east, they appear healthy and determined, with varied facial expressions reflecting Emperor Qingshihuang’s resolve to unify the country. Travel from Xi’an City with a private guide for an intimate view of this magnificent exhibition, with personalized attention and the best local knowledge available.
