Description
No trip to Xi'an is complete without witnessing the Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses—often regarded as the eighth wonder of the world. As one of the must-see attractions in both the city and the country, the museum draws millions of visitors throughout the year. By booking your tickets in advance, you can skip the long lines at the ticket office and walk straight in, saving valuable time. Your ticket opens the door to an extraordinary encounter with ancient soldiers and horses, meticulously crafted and buried underground more than 2,200 years ago.

To ensure a smooth booking, we kindly ask guests to provide their passport details at least 7 days before the intended visit date, or no later than 5 days in advance.
