Han Yang Ling (157 BCE) is the tomb complex of Emperor Jing (Han dynasty) and Empress Wang — discovered 1990, excavated 1998. Unlike the life-size Terracotta Warriors, the Han figures are miniature (60 cm tall) but more numerous (50,000+ figures spanning soldiers, women, eunuchs, livestock — a complete Han imperial court in miniature). Visitable via a glass-floored excavation site museum where you walk over the actual pits. Entry ¥80. Far less crowded than Terracotta (10% of the visitor count). 30 min taxi from Xi'an city center; or combine with Famen Temple as a longer day. Pairs naturally with Hanyangling Underground Museum for the full Han archaeological experience.
