Terracotta Army tickets for foreigners

Real-name timed tickets. For most passport holders the practical English path is Trip.com’s non-mainland “Ticket (Including Lishan Garden)” — then enter at the North Gate with the same passport. Live checkout capture 6 Oct 2026.

Booking steps (English path)

  1. Open Trip.com — Emperor Qinshihuang’s Mausoleum Site Museum.
  2. Choose Ticket (Including Lishan Garden) → Adult (Non-Mainland Chinese Residents). Skip guided/bus bundles unless you want them.
  3. Pick date of use. Near dates may show limited stock — book a few days ahead for weekends.
  4. Add travelers with ID type Passport. Last/given name + number must match the passport you will carry.
  5. Note the 8-day ID purchase limit, pay, and keep the voucher email.
  6. Enter via the North Gate with the original passport (typical admission window on the voucher ~08:30–17:00 — follow your order).

Official ticketing summary: bmy.com.cn ticketing (CNY 120/60, passport OK, North Gate, timed slots). The museum has also promoted an overseas online platform; WeChat accounts 秦始皇帝陵博物院 / 兵马俑票务在线 remain the domestic official path. We verified the Trip.com foreigner checkout on 6 Oct 2026 and stopped before paying.

Pitfalls: Buying a mainland-ID SKU by mistake; assuming a same-day window always exists in peak season; booking under a passport you will not carry; ignoring the 8-day per-ID limit when changing dates.
