Terra Cotta warriors seem so great! I wish i could go see them! But i do have a question! Where is shi huang's actual body located??
Oct. 28,2009 02:12 Mrs.Hill(Alaska) replied:
Shi Huangs body is located in the centre of the solders. The soldiers are around him to protect him. I am not sure if you can see the grave or if it is underground.

Got a question, tour buses to the museum and back are available all day long? what is the ticket price?
Oct. 19,2009 08:43 Mr.Sergio(Brazil) replied:
Everyday there is a bus departing from the Main Bus Station in Xian (besides the Train Station and in front of the City wall). The bus number is 306 and the trip will cost you the bargain of 7RMB (~1USD). The last bus from the Terracota Museum returns to Xian at 6:30pm. If you're at some hotel in the inner city wall a taxi can ride you to the 306 bus station by no more than 7RMB from anywhere.

Hi, I'll be in Beijing on 29 Oct and I'll stay 2 days. I want to visit the Terra cotta Army and Badaling but I dont know if I have enough time.How to organize the trip to visit them both? Can I found some tour operators to do this, in Bejing? Thank you in advance!
Oct. 16,2009 04:59 Mr.Tony(Singapore) replied:
Yes, that's feasible. You may try to book a tour route with the company of this website: TravelChinaGuide
Oct. 16,2009 23:38 Mr.T-Bone(USA) replied:
All is possible in China. Remember Badaling is about a 70 mile drive. We got a taxi as there were 4 of us. If you want to walk on the wall it's steep there. VERY touristy and probably not the best spot to appreciate the wall but closest to Beijing.

Hello! I want to spend a day in Xian on the 1st January 2010. Does anyone know something about the opening times? Perhaps closed? THX

Hi,Terracotta wont't be closed on 1st January 2010. The opening hours are the same as usual, as you can get from the above passage, that is 08:00 to 18:00. Good luck!

Thank you so much for all this information.
I will be in Xian at the end of November. I am planning to travel overnight from Beijing, arriving early in Xian early in the morning to spend a full day there. I may leave Xian at 17:00 to take the overnight train to Shanghai.
I have two questions:
1. Do you think this is enough time to experience Xian? (08:30-17:00. There is another overnight train at 19:50) 2. What are the facilities like at Xian train station? I require somewhere safe to store some valuables during the time I will be in the city.
Thank you so much in anticipation of you help. And thanks for the great site, too! :)
Hi,Mr.Taylor Welcome to Xi'an. 1. If you just plan to visit the Terracotta Army, one day is OK. However, if you want to know a little more about Xi'an, I suggest you visit the City Wall, the Bell Tower, the Shannxi History Museum and the Wild Goose Pagoda. 2. There is a luggage storing service provided at the Xi'an Train Station. But I am afraid that the staff working there might speak little English.

Yes, the bus runs everyday. You don't worry, many buses direct to the Terra Cotta, and you could choose those regular buses and don't have to stay on one bus and wait till it is full.
