Rows of warriors, horses and chariots show the scale of an imperial funerary project more vividly than any single figure. Differences among Pits 1, 2 and 3 help explain how the army was arranged. Allow time to compare them rather than stopping at the largest pit alone.
What to look for
Survey the long ranks in Pit 1.
Compare the contents and scale of Pits 2 and 3.
Look for variations in the figures' roles and forms.
Useful to know
Plan separate travel time from central Xi'an to the museum area.
Check the museum's current entry arrangements before choosing a departure time.
