Awesome Visit with Tour Guide
My wife has wanted to see the Warriors since she heard about them 20 years ago! It was well worth the wait! We would recommend getting a tour guide while you have questions and they wait outside the ticket office. We found a great one in Emily who spoke excellent English and has been giving tours for 16 years! If you are a foreigner make sure to scan in for health code and have your passport ready. There are separate lines for foreigners in the ticket office and as far as I can tell foreigners cannot book tickets online. Ticket cost is 120 RMB and you can negotiate a tour guide for 300-400 RMB (do keep in mind that tour guides have to buy a 120 RMB ticket as well). To get here you can take a Didi for 100 RMB/car from the city or metro/bus for 10 RMB/per person. For public transport get to Fangzhicheng metro station, take exit A, turn right when you reach the road and walk 100 m to the bus stop to take 306 out there. Remember to bring cash with you. The terracotta museum and bus only take cash. The bus will only accept small bills (10-20). It is also easier to give the tour guides cash for their services. We would recommend to avoid mid to late day as it can get very busy. The beginning of the day for our friends seemed to be less crowded.

Must see
You can go there by public transport (bus) from the Xi'an bus station, which is on the opposite side from the railway station (the one without the bullet train, near the city). A bus leaves every 10 minutes and costs 8 yuan to and 10 yuan back. Go first to pit 3, then 2, then 1,for the best wow effect. Very impressive!
