What To Expect

The Museum of Qin Terra-cotta Warriors and Horses
We will start at 7:30 a.m, which is a bit early morning so as to avoid crowds.

About 1 hour later, we will arrive at Terra-cotta Army Museum. This museum is built right on the original site of Terra-cotta Army as a great protection. You will see the museum is composed of three pits, which contained different terracotta figures and weapons ranked according to their different roles in a battle. We will focus on Pit 1 and Pit 2 as these two contain the majority of discovered figures. It's said this site has in total 8000 soldiers but we can only see part of them right now. Some of them remain unexcavated. From this short tour, you will learn about the history, society and culture of Qin Dynasty.

Huaqing Palace
In the afternoon, you will head for last site of this day trip - Huaqing Palace. It was a palace for Emperor Longji of Tang Dynasty to get away from the stressful court and enjoy hot spring which this place is very famous for. The Emperor had a world-famous concubine named Yang Yuhuan, who usually took bath here. That's why you will see a couple of ancient bathtubs here. They had a great time in this palace and left a wonderful love story to later generations. Nowadays, you will still see the trees that they planted together and under which they made wishes to live together until death apart. Many lovers come here to make wishes as well.

After the tour, you will be transferred back to city and take rest.
