Booking notes of Terracotta Army Museum (Qin Shi Huang Emperor's Mausoleum Museum)

1.     Qin Shi Huang Emperor's Mausoleum Museum has crowd control measures and a real-name ticket system. They allow a maximum of 65,000 visitors per day, with ticket sales stopping when nearing 13,700 visitors to ensure safety for artifacts and visitors.

2.     Visitors must use valid travel identification to purchase tickets. Additionally, undergraduate, and lower-level students eligible for a half-price discount must present their student ID at the student ticket entrance.

3.     The museum enforces a one-way route: enter through the north gate and exit through the east gate. Those with reservations should arrive at the north gate 30 minutes before their scheduled time.

4.     The visiting hours for entering the park are currently divided into the following time slots: 08:30-09:30, 09:31-10:30, 10:31-11:30, 11:31-12:30, 12:31-11:30, 13:31-14:30, 14:31-15:30, and 15:31-17:00.

5.     We'll try to reserve Terracotta Warriors tickets for 10:31-11:30, but if it's sold out quickly, we might consider other times. Plan a whole day for the Terracotta Warriors and enjoy other attractions like the Muslim Quarter and the Great Mosque that don't require reservations.
