Terracotta Warriors

We visited The Terracotta Army, a collection of terracotta sculptures depicting the armies of Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China. It is a form of funerary art buried with the emperor in 210–209 BCE with the purpose of protecting the emperor in his afterlife. The figures were discovered in 1974 by local farmers in Lintong County, outside Xi'an.

There are three pits to see. The first one is the biggest and contains the main army of more than 6,000 figures.

Personally i had more expectations about that place. But it was very crowded and i didn't enjoy it so much.Leggi altro
