Our main attraction start from today as we have our breakfast at 8am then we took the metro to Wulokou station which is the nearest station to Xi’an Railway station where there is a tourist bus 306 to the Terracotta Warriors Heritage site with just RMB 7 straight to the bus station of the site. The entrance of terracotta is on the left of the station (facing the main road). The combine entrance ticket is cost RMB 150.
There are 3 pit sites at the Terracotta warrior site where the main pit is the largest excavation site of terracotta warriors follow by pit 3 where the command post with high rank officers.
The pit 2 is the site where the infantry like kneeling archers is found. There is a believes at this sites where we need to follow the flow and never walk backward which impact feng shui. Interesting theory that shared by the guide which personally believe it is a business and marketing strategy to force consumer to purchase the souvenir after Pit 1 & 3 before going to pit 2. Just beware and take note !!!
We reached back Xi’an at 3:30pm and went to Bank of China for the money exchange for US dollar and in China we only can change at the bank. After settled the money exchange then we rush to the small goose pagoda at 5:30pm and it closed. So we just manage to snap the entrance and a little glimpse of the pagoda peak at the car park. We quickly head to the Big goose pagoda for the 8:30pm fountain light show which is reasonable basic with no hooha. After the show we continue to the Bell tower by tuk tuk. We head on to the Muslim Quarter night markets which quite worth it and it has all the local muslim delight along the night markets. There goes our second tiring day at Xi’an.
-Next Day-
