  1. Visit the Terracotta Warriors with a confirmed booking

    秦始皇帝陵博物院

    Reserve through the museum's official channel before leaving central Xi'an. Use the same identity details throughout the booking and entry process, and check the current transport route on the day.

  2. Return to Yongning Gate

    西安城墙·永宁门

    Once back in the city, use Yongningmen Station for the South Gate area. Check current wall entry arrangements before buying or scanning any ticket.

  3. Finish around the Bell and Drum Towers

    钟楼与鼓楼

    Continue north to the central landmarks. Decide on tower entry after checking the current notice; the surrounding streets can be enjoyed without committing to another long visit.
