Terracota Army Of Xi'an
One of China’s most iconic attractions, The Terracotta Army is a vast collection of clay sculptures (constructed over 2000 years ago) that depict the armies of Qin Shi Huang, China’s first Emperor.
Discovered in 1974 by a group of unwitting local farmers whilst they were digging a well, the army is estimated to contain some 8,000 soldiers and 130 chariots with 520 horses, and is housed in an extensive necropolis dedicated to Qin Shi Huang (it is also home to his mausoleum) located on the outskirts of Xi’an, the capital and largest city of the Shaanxi Province, and one of most historically and culturally-rich destinations on the planet!
