in the years I have lived in Xi’an, I have taken friends to see the Terracotta Warriors 10 times, and I still find it amazing.this is important; do not go to pit number one first. it is the first pit they opened up, it is the biggest. go to pit two and three first, then one. that way you will find your entire experience more interesting. if you do pit one first, the other two will be underwhelming. this should be your number one must see place to visit in this part of China.the exit is in a different place to the entry and you will have to walk down a wide street with all sorts of souvenir shops and restaurants. there is a Starbucks, McDonalds, Subway, KFC, which in this location is (sad to say) a better option than the local food which is over priced and poor quality. Later in the afternoon is a good time to go.
