You will be picked up from your hotel lobby by the tour guide and driver in the morning. Then directly head to the famous Terracotta Warriors, the Mausoleum of Emperor Qin Shihuang who is the first emperor of the Qin dynasty. When he ascended to the throne at the tender age of 13, he ordered 720,000 conscript laborers to build him a royal tomb. It took about 38 years to finish, and was so magnificent that it set a precedent for future feudal rulers. Little compares to his army of Terracotta Warriors and Horses. Wander the gallery to marvel at some 8,000 life-size sculptures of men and horses of the Emperor’s funerary art. Amazingly, each one has unique features.

Afterwards, head to the local cave dwelling located at Panggou Village running by a local farmer family, near to Terracotta Warriors Museum.
