This museum is convenient because it's on the way to the airport. It doesn't take very long either. It offers a contrast to the terra cotta warriors in that there are many more of them (projected to be 100,000 compared to 8000 tc warriors), and they are much smaller (about 2 to 2.5 feet).

This grave side is less well known and displays smaller objects than the famous terracotta warriors. I liked to see these excavations first , in chronological order, and than went to the larger first emperor grave .

Enjoyed nearly as much as the Terra-cotta warriors and situated on route to or from the airport so worth a stop.

The miniature soldiers, horses, cows and chickens can be viewed in the pits where they were found through the novel glass floor as you experience real live archaeology The 3D movie is very well done, but the foreign sound track can be very unclear..

Visited based on reviews here. Good if you have a couple of hours to spare but not a must see. I took the #4 bus from Shitushuguan Metro (exit D) which departs hourly and costs 2 yuan. Arriving I checked the departure times at the back of the bus stop sign. There are a few sights here with the two... More

Close to the airport which is an hour outside of town, I suggest visiting this tomb either on your way to or from the airport. It was well worth the visit, although I would be sure to have a guide who is able to point out the many different parts of the exhibit that you would otherwise miss. Well worth... More

Part of the under-marketing I refer to with the terra cotta soldiers is that I had no idea there was so much rich and relatively well maintained and displayed history here. Getting a very good guide, of course, is key so you know and understanding at what you are looking.

The tomb is fairly new. Very few visitors which was good. Be sure to take get a good guide as the tomb is very dark, photos hard to take and signage is not good. Some areas have thick glass panels in the floor which helps to see various parts of tomb. Be sure to take a good flashlight. They are... More

This museum is the burial site of the fourth emperor of China. It was a peaceful period so instead of burying warriors, the emperor buried terra cotta bureaucrats. They are much smaller (1 meter) but the museum lets you get up close. You are able to walk over the site on glass. The light level is quite low, so photography... More
