you cant imagine it until you stand in front of the massive "army" and think about the effort and the misery that went into building it..dont miss it More

Quite a bit of English is written here so you can easily spend 3 hours even without a guide. You will repeatedly asked if you want a guide as you arrive -- be prepared with your answer. Best to pay the few extra yuan and ride the little electric cart or you must walk a kilometer through a street of... More

This is a must visit attraction. To see the Warriors and Horses and the entire facility built in X'ian was great. Definitely worth the trip to X'ian More

First I need to say we went Sept. 2010 not 2011 but couldn't put that date in, I am a little late reviewing this awesome sight.

I would suggest you just walk around by yourselves rather than joining a group as they travel at a snails pass & spend a hugh amount of time standing around in the searing heat. We just walked around by ourselves & managed to hear a few bits of info from english guides as we wandered around. Even if you don't... More
