Xian (西安) – Terracotta Warriors (兵马俑)

Posted on 15. Jun, 2012 by in , , , travel, Vocabulary

Certainly the most famous place in Xi'an, the Terracotta Warrior army is a sight to behold. Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of a united China, had these thousands of sculptures buried with him to protect him in the afterlife. Stumbled upon by a group of farmers back in the 70′s, this archaeological wonder is open to the public and is a top tourist destination in China.
