Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum, also known as the Terracotta Army, is located about 1.5 kilometers east of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor and forms part of the extensive necropolis. There were more than a thousand terracotta soldiers unearthed here, each with a different facial expression. Standing before the massive underground army, you will feel the extraordinary might of the Qin Emperor that enabled him to unify six warring states two thousand years ago. The Qin Emperor Ying Zheng began building the mausoleum for himself at the age of 13. Nearly 720000 men and 38 years were required to complete this vast project.

Other visitors' reviews of Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum
Show More ReviewsA guided tour of the Terracotta Army is essential; otherwise, your visit will be rushed and superficial. Mr. Fan's performance was outstanding. His service was attentive and thoughtful, proactively guiding visitors throughout and patiently answering questions. His explanations were clear, vivid, and easy to understand, eloquently explaining the Qin Dynasty's military system and the craftsmanship of the terracotta warriors.
