Do you know what the eighth wonder of the world is? With this admission ticket to the Terracotta Army Museum, you'll discover the history of this army.

Why visit the Terracotta Army?

The Terracotta Army is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, comprising over 7000 real-size soldiers, horses, and carriages with a rich history. Discovered by local farmers searching for water near Xian, these figures date back to 221 B.C. when the young emperor Qin Shi Huang ordered their creation. Visitors can explore three pits filled with funerary art and observe the intricacies of the ancient statues, including the enamel decoration in different colors and the significance of the symbols on the warrior's clothing.

Opening Times

The Terracotta Army Museum is open Monday to Sunday from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, with the last entry an hour before closing.

Important

While the price offered by Civiatis is higher than that on the official museum website, the booking process is more straightforward, and tickets are not sold at the museum's ticket offices. During peak times, access without a reservation can be challenging. The official site currently caters only to Chinese visitors and payments from within China. Pricing may vary due to the convenience offered by this booking option.
