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 ReviewsI saw many foreigners in Xi'an; the fame of the Terracotta Army speaks for itself. I knew about the Terracotta Army from textbooks since childhood, but seeing it in person was a completely different experience—it was truly magnificent. Upon closer inspection, it seemed like it wasn't all there was to it, but then I realized it's only a small fraction of the total; there are still so many more terracotta warriors waiting to be excavated and restored. This filled me with awe. Touching history filled me with reverence. Back home, I plan to brush up on my knowledge. History isn't just text in textbooks; it can also be something to be curious about, something to be interested in. Great.
