These two places, terracotta warriors and Yangling mausoleum are very unique in xi'an even in China as there are not many emperor 's burial pits in China which are excavated. Now they were well preserved. Travellers can imagine what is emperor's imperial defending force like through those life size terra-cotta warriors and mini figures of 2 thousands year ago. These two places are not in the city and it is impossible to finish two sites in one day by public transportation .so it is better to join the tour .the guide will provides information and stories to help travellers to understand the background knowledge. So in the morning ,the travellers will be guided to visit the eighth wonder of world first ---Terra-Cotta Warriors of emperor Qin .,then ,In the afternoon, you will visit the Yang Ling mausoleum which is first undergound museum in China .Finally return back .

    Xi’an terracotta

    Our guide took us back 2,200 years. History, Chinese culture, explanations, tips, kindness. Everything was perfect!!

    Perfect day-after more then one month I think about and retell the story to my friends.

    I had an amazing day with Jasmine. She makes the tour in a very professional but friendly way, with many information and details but given in a very interesting and well dosed way. The tour included Terracotta warriors, Xi’an city center and Tang dynasty palace and it was simply amazing. Strongly recommend. Thank you Jasmine❤️

    Great day with Jasmin - learned a lot about Chinas history. Highly recommend her

    We already booked a trip with Jasmin for the second time - she is a very reliable and super nice guide. She has deep knowledge about Chinese history and could explain every detail about the Terrakotta worriers and the Yangling tomb which is less known and less crowded but similar interesting. We will definitely book her again when we come back to Xi An again some day. I can highly recommend her.

    Perfect one-day tour

    We had a great day with Jasmine visiting the Terra Cotta Warriors, cave dwellings, and Han Yang Ling mausoleum. Jasmine is very friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic and her English is really good. She had arranged for a comfortable car and good driver, and lunch was absolutely delicious!

    Terra-cotta warriors museum and yang ling mausoleum: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Xian.

    How much does Terra-cotta warriors museum and yang ling mausoleum cost?

    +

    Prices start at $203 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Xian usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Terra-cotta warriors museum and yang ling mausoleum take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Xian is not rushed.

    Is Terra-cotta warriors museum and yang ling mausoleum worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Xian, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Terra-cotta warriors museum and yang ling mausoleum?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Terra-cotta warriors museum and yang ling mausoleum suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Terra-cotta warriors museum and yang ling mausoleum?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Xian can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Xian and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Terra-cotta warriors museum and yang ling mausoleum start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Xian within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Xian?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Xian experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Mini Group Xian Day Tour to Terracotta Army, City Wall, Pagoda and Muslim Bazaar, All-Inclusive Terracotta Army Tour with Premium Buffet Lunch, Private Xi'an Day Tour: Terracotta Army&Optional City Attractions. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Xian?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Xian?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
