Essential Ticket Facts

Opening hoursOpen 08:30 – 19:00, with tickets sold until 5:00 PM and admission ending at 5:00 PM. The full visit takes 3–5 hours, so arrive with daylight to spare.
Best arrival timeAt the 08:30 opening the pits are calmest — or enter after 3:30 PM, when one reviewer found fewer than 50 people inside.
Visit durationOfficially recommended: 3–5 hours for the pits plus the mausoleum site. Add Huaqing Palace and you have a full Lintong day.
LocationLintong District, Xi'an, Shaanxi — about 35 km east of downtown Xi'an, with the pits museum 1.5 km east of the mausoleum mound.
Ticket inquiry+86-29-81399127 — the official hotline for tickets, opening hours and group visits.
Quotas sell outDaily entry is quota-managed, and Chinese public holidays sell out first — one family arriving without a booking was turned away at the ticket office before buying e-tickets online in a minute.

คำถามที่พบบ่อย

Ticket Questions, Answered

Do I need to book in advance?

Yes — it is the single most repeated tip in traveler reviews. Entry is quota-managed, weekends and Chinese public holidays sell out, and the ticket office can turn walk-ups away. Book online, then simply scan your passport at the gate.

What does the ticket include?

One admission covers the three pits museum AND the mausoleum necropolis 1.5 km west — its excavation areas, the Bronze Chariot Hall and the mound paths. The free shuttle between the two sites is included; audio guides and guided tours are small on-site extras.

Can I visit the pits and the mausoleum in one day?

That is exactly how the ticket is designed. The pits take 2–3 hours, the shuttle ride is minutes, and the mausoleum garden adds another 1–2. Most travelers finish the pair comfortably within the recommended 3–5 hours.

What time does the last admission start?

Tickets are sold until 5:00 PM and admission ends at 5:00 PM, with the grounds closing at 19:00. For the full 3–5 hour visit, arrive no later than mid-afternoon — ideally at the 08:30 opening.

Are there children's or concession tickets?

Discounted brackets for children, students and seniors are listed on the same booking page, with the exact rules shown before you pay. Bring ID or passports matching every traveler you book for.
