Qin Terracotta Warriors Museum
In 1974, at the northern foot of Lishan Hill in the east of Lintong county, three large pits of terra-cotta figures were found 1.5km east of the mausoleum of Emperor Qin Shi Huang of the Qin, who established the first centralized feudal dynasty in China history. Among the three, the largest one is pit No.1, covering 14,260sq meters. The pit is divided into eleven corridors in which arrayed 38 columns of life-sized clay warriors, horses and chariots. Over 6000 clay warriors could be assumedly unearthed from the pit if it would be completely excavated. This would be really an artistic reappearance of hundreds of Qin Shi Huang's warriors. With its artistic momentum, it could be acclaimed a piece of great masterwork. The figures, life-likely shaped and colorfully painted, are of high artistic value. Now, a big arch-roofed exhibition hall is set up over Pit No.1 where the restored terra-cotta warriors and horses are on display. Entry price: 80 yuan/ person.

Opening Hours: Open daily 9am-5pm.

Banpo Museum
Located north of Banpo village in the eastern suburbs of Xi’an, is the 6,000-year-old Banpo site. It was a typical matriarchal clan community in the Yellow River Valley. Covering an area of 50,000sq meters, it includes a residential area, pottery area and burial ground. Five excavations from 1953 to 1957 disinterred the remains of 45 houses, 200-odd storage pits, six kilns, 250 tombs, and more than 10,000 implements of production and daily-use articles. The museum was set up on the ruins in 1958.
