Terracotta Warrior Army Museum

 

As a part of Emperor Qin's vast mausoleum complex, Terracotta Warrior Army Museum enjoys China's top historical sight symbolizing China's history and internationally recognition.

The terracotta warrior museum officially opened to the public on October 1, 1979 is divided into three sections according to the respective pit number and the order of their discovery. It locates 1.5 kilometers east of emperor Qin's mausoleum. The artifacts unearthed are the replicas of the First Emperor’s real army to protect his nearby flat-topped pyramid mausoleum so that he could continue ruling in his afterlife.

In 1988, two sets of large painted bronze chariots and horses found near the Qin's mausoleum were moved to the terracotta warrior museum. This shows to the public the astonished high standard of metallurgical technology and weapon making technique which Qin Dynasty reached in 2200 years ago.
