Experience the remarkable history of China on a 1-Day Tour to Xi'an Terracotta Army and Huaqing Palace. Learn about the thousands of life-size clay models, including soldiers, horses, and chariots, that surround the grand mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of China and founder of the Qin dynasty. This incredible display is located near Lishan in Shaanxi Province, central China.
The army was most likely meant to act as protectors for the tomb or to serve their ruler in the afterlife. The site was found in 1974 CE, and the lifelike army figures offer a fascinating look into ancient Chinese warfare from weaponry and armor to chariot mechanics and command hierarchy.
