Just landed in Xi’an! Here’s my power-packed adventure, featuring epic archaeology and top-tier comfort 🏨⚔️ Must-See: The Terracotta Army Nothing prepares you for the first glimpse inside Emperor Qinshihuang’s Mausoleum Site Museum. The sheer size and detail of the Terracotta Warriors take “awe-inspiring” to a whole new level!

Address: Emperor Qinshihuang’s Mausoleum Site Museum, Lintong District, Xi’an. Hours: 8:30–17:00. Where to Stay Loved Sofitel Xi’an on Renmin Square (No. 319 Dongxin Street). The staff go above and beyond—seriously, they’ll proactively help with luggage, upgrades, and emergencies. Rooms are spotless, gym & pool on point, and you get a lavish breakfast buffet blending Western and local flavors (don’t miss the steamed buns). If you need business lounge access or free parking, you’re sorted. Getting Around Xi’an taxis are abundant and super affordable, or use the metro for landmarks. The Terracotta Army site is a 1-hour drive from downtown; book a car via trip.com for smooth rides. Local Tips Cash is king in some spots, but Alipay/WeChat Pay widely accepted.
