Attraction Guide · 2025-08-24
Knows the local talent
- We recommend booking scenic area tickets on the official WeChat account 3 days in advance. During peak seasons, wait times at the entrance can range from 1 to 2 hours. Terracotta Warriors admission is 120 per person; Huaqing Palace is 120 per person. Online reservations allow skip-the-line entry.
- Best times to avoid crowds: Arrive at the Terracotta Warriors at 8:30 for the first entry, and ride along the City Wall after 4 PM for the best lighting. The main street of Huimin Street is crowded; locals recommend older shops in Dapiyuan and Sajinqiao instead.
- Travel Tip: Xi'an's subway covers major attractions; consider getting a Chang'an Tong card or using mobile payment. To visit the Terracotta Warriors in Lintong, take Tour Bus 5 (Line 306) for 7 CNY, with a travel time of about 1 hours.
- Food recommendations: Local favorites include Lao Sun Jia Pomo (Beiyuan Branch), Jia San Soup Dumplings (Huimin Street), and Wei Family Liangpi (chain with consistent quality). A satisfying meal costs just 30-60 yuan per person.
