Why visit the Terracotta Army?

The Terracotta Army is recognized as one of the 8th wonders of the world and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This site features over 7000 real-size soldiers, horses, and carriages with a rich history. The army was discovered by local farmers while searching for water near Xian.

Some statues can be viewed outside the pits, showcasing intricate enamel decoration in various colors.
