How to Get Here
The museum sits in Lintong District, about 35 km east of downtown Xi'an — the pits entrance is well signposted from the tourist bus stop.
If the map does not load, open the museum in Google Maps. From downtown Xi'an, Tourist Bus 5 (306) runs from the railway station, Metro Line 9 covers most of the way to Lintong, and a taxi or ride-hail takes 40–60 minutes. Drivers recognize "Terracotta Army", "Bingmayong" and the Chinese name "兵马俑".

Four Tips for a Smooth Visit
Book onlineTickets from $18.03 on Trip.com — instant confirmation, and you simply scan your passport at the gate. Quotas sell out on holidays.
Time your arrivalThe 08:30 opening buys you the calmest pits — or enter near the 5:00 PM ticket cutoff, when one reviewer found fewer than 50 people inside.
Watch the weatherThe pits are covered hangars, but the mausoleum garden is open ground — Xi'an summers pass +37°C, so carry water and a hat.
Plan both sitesOne ticket covers the three pits and the mausoleum necropolis 1.5 km west — the free shuttle connects them, so keep 3–5 hours for the pair.
