The Terracotta Army Museum of the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum is one of the greatest discoveries in the history of world archaeology. The charioteers, infantry and cavalry of the Terracotta Army are arranged in various formations.
The overall style is vigorous, muscular, and refined. If you look closely, you'll see differences in facial shape, hairstyle, body shape, and spirit: some horses have their ears erect, some neigh with their mouths open, and some stand still with their mouths closed. All of these Qin Shi Huang Terracotta Warriors are imbued with captivating artistic charm.
Huaqing Pool, also known as Huaqing Palace, is located at the northern foot of Mount Li in Lintong District, Xi'an, 30 kilometers west of Xi'an. It is backed by Mount Li in the south and faces the Wei River in the north. It is an ancient Chinese imperial palace famous for its hot springs. The rulers of the Zhou, Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties all regarded this Feng Shui treasure land as their official villa for pleasure and entertainment. They built stone buildings, constructed the Lishan Hot Springs, built city walls around it, and built hot spring palaces.
Enjoy the wonderful performance
Song of Everlasting Regret: This play, with a budget of hundreds of millions of yuan and a powerful cast, is a magnificent spectacle. Set against the backdrop of Mount Li and the Nine Dragon Lake of Huaqing Hot Spring, the play features pavilions, terraces, corridors, palaces, weeping willows, and the lake itself. Utilizing world-class high-tech techniques, it creates a dreamlike sky of twinkling stars, a rolling forest waterfall, a blazing sea of fire, three sets of approximately 700 square meters of LED screens, and a nearly 1,000 square meter, fully concealed, elevating underwater stage. The play organically blends history and reality, nature and culture, the human world and the immortal world, tradition and fashion, interpreting a magical historical movement and creating an outstanding artistic model.
Special bonus: Experience Hanfu (Chinese and English-language clothing)! (This is included with both the Terracotta Warriors and Huaqing Palace tours, and only with the English-language tour.)
