The terracotta warriors and horses were discovered by local farmers in 1974. Life size terracotta figures arranged in battle formations are the star features at the museum, which vividly depicts Qin Shi Huang’s imperial army in 210-209 BC. The army was built in order to protect the emperor in the afterlife. Today, there are still miles of land with unexcavated treasures. Different pits have different figures ranging from military personnel to musicians, acrobats, and strongmen. In the main and most impressive vault, see figures arranged in typical battle formation in 11 columns comprising officers, soldiers holding spears and swords, and others steering horse-drawn chariots, as if ready for one last battle. If you’d like, explore the museum exhibits displaying artifacts and a film on the fascinating history of the mausoleum.

Afterwards you will be transferred to your hotel in Xi’an downtown for your onward journey.
