We only had half a day to see the magnificent Terracotta Warriors. Our guide Noble was superb. Very good English, informative and good sense of humour. Helped us with train tickets at drop off - which was extremely valuable.

We had an amazing private tour with Becky the tour guide. Becky and the driver picked us up at 7.30am to head to the Terracotta Army. Tip - aim for an early start to avoid traffic and queues. We stopped en route at the place where they make replicas. This was good as they showed the process. You could buy whole replica's of the Terracotta Army and have it shipped to you if wanted.
We then made our way to the Terracotta Warriors. Becky explained in detail the story of the army, and why it was there. Also explained the discovery in 1974 by a farmer.
The farmers were drilling holes in the hopes of finding water to dig wells when they came upon some ancient terracotta pottery shards. It didn't take long for news of this discovery to spread and then Chinese archaeological team began excavating the site.
What these farmers had discovered was the 2200-year-old remains of a life-sized, terracotta army that had been buried with Qin Shihuangdi. Buried in underground pits, there are 8,000 terracotta army.
It is now a Unesco heritage site.
The site is divided into 3 pits. Pit 1 is the orginal discovery site and the size of two football pitches. Pit 3 is half that size and Pit 2 is the smallest. More excavation will be done over the next several years. But for now this is an amazing site to see. Well worth going.
Becky and the driver then dropped us back. All in all a rough 5 hour trip.
Thank you Becky and keep up the good work. We really enjoyed the trip.

Merci Nancy pour la belle visite. D'abord visite d'un confectionneur de guerriers en terre cuite et après visite des anciens guerriers. Le film en VR était formidable! Très bon restaurant pour le lunch! Très bien organisé, aussi le retour à l'aéroport.
