The tomb itself: a 50-metre grassed pyramid over the unexcavated burial chamber of the First Emperor, in a walled archaeological park 2 km from the pits, with the two half-size bronze chariots (dug up in 1980) in their own museum since 2021. It is the second half of the Terracotta Army ticket — same real-name booking, free shuttle between the sites, about 1.5 hours here by the museum's own estimate. Most day-trippers skip it; that is the reason to come.

How to book
Book on the official site bmy.com.cn with a passport number — no WeChat needed (official: 'use a second-generation ID card or passport to book'); the museum names 'foreign visitors' among those who may book online. No separate booking for the garden: the Terracotta Army ticket covers both sites; free shuttle between themVerified · 2026-09Source ↗
Language
Same institution as the pit museum: the official site (bmy.com.cn) has a 中/En switch, and the only guide desk it lists is at Pit 1 in the museum — book a guide through the Chinese guide line 029-81399047/48 before you take the free shuttle over. The garden itself has no separate guide point on the official pages; English audio guides are the museum's, so pick one up there.
