What to expect

Enjoy a comprehensive, hassle-free tour of the Terracotta and Lishan sites. This package includes private transfers from your hotel, ensuring a smooth and comfortable journey.

Learn about Pit 1: As the largest and most iconic pit, it houses over 6,000 life-sized warriors, including infantry, cavalry, and charioteers in battle formations. Your guides will delve into the intricate details of their facial features and armour, explain the layout's military strategy, and share fascinating facts about the excavation and preservation process. Pit 2: Although smaller, this pit offers diversity with mixed units of archers, chariots, and cavalry. Here, you'll learn about the craftsmanship involved, the significance of the colours used, and how this pit complements Pit 1 in representing the structure of the Qin army. Pit 3: Believed to be the "command centre", this pit contains fewer warriors, but more high-ranking figures arranged in a distinctive U-shape. The guides will discuss its role, differences in attire, and reasons why it was left unfinished.

At Lishan Garden, you'll find Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum - the unexcavated heart of the Terracotta complex. You'll get to see the above-ground tomb mound of the mausoleum, the Museum of Qin Mausoleum housing relics such as bronze ritual vessels and pottery, and the landscape aligned according to "feng shui" principles. Your guides will enlighten you on Qin royal burial rituals, and the clever architecture of the mausoleum.
