5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

The clay warriors are far from the city but so worth it. Prepare to walk alot or hire a person to push you in a wheelchair. It is wheelchair accessible. The city wall and the city itself is vibrant, full of history and worth a visit on its own.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Nice city with historic things to visit but there are fees at any sites you want to visit and sometimes I feel the fee is a rip off.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

The park adjacent to the city wall is beautiful-there is a lovely walk along the river. And the terra cotta warriors are awe inspiring.
