Experts have arranged the restored Terracotta Army in Pit 1, and you can see the spectacular formation as soon as you enter. ✔️Pit 2: Rich in content with a complete range of troops, guarding the underground army of Emperor Qinshihuang's mausoleum, with a more complex formation than Pit 1. Pit 2 displays the specific Terracotta Army, where you can see the lucky kneeling archer statue. ✔️Pit 3: Mainly consists of the north and south side rooms and the chariot room, experts speculate it to be the command center for Pits 1 and 2. ✔️Pit 4: Actually only has a pit without any Terracotta Army. - 🌟Lishan Garden: The Lishan Garden area is large, it is recommended to buy an electric car ticket 💰15, with free commentary. ➡️Visit order: Hundred Plays Pit → Bronze Chariot and Horse Pit → Civil Official Statues Pit - ⭐Huaqing Palace: Must listen to the commentary! The main attraction is 'three parts seeing, seven parts imagining'. Huaqing Palace has a performance of the Xi'an Incident, and in the evening, the Song of Everlasting Sorrow performance. During the gap between these two, you can go see the Xi'an Incident, which is quite educational. - ⭐Song of Everlasting Sorrow: If you come to Xi'an and don't see it, you're missing out❗️ I would call it the pinnacle of Xi'an❗️ It recreates the love story of Emperor Li Longji and Yang Guifei in Huaqing Palace. The actors' performances, the entire Li Mountain as the backdrop, lighting, music, costumes, makeup, and the magnificent dance presentation. - 📣Tips: If you are traveling with parents 👵🏻🧓🏻 or children 👶🏻 and want to choose a lazy way to play, just join a hassle-free tour group, and the experience will be good too, aside from possibly getting up early in the morning.
