The Terracotta Army

#discoverchina The Terracotta Army is a remarkable cultural treasure and a must-visit attraction for anyone traveling to Xi'an. It not only represents an extraordinary artistic achievement but also offers profound insights into China's ancient history. It is located near Xi'an, in Shaanxi Province, China. Discovered in 1974 by local farmers, the Terracotta Army is believed to be the burial site of Qin Shi Huang. The Terracotta Army was created to accompany Emperor Qin Shi Huang in the afterlife, reflecting his belief in a life after death. The army consists of thousands of life-sized figures, including warriors, horses, chariots, and more, which were meant to protect him in the afterlife. #couplestrip #travel #naturalwonders #thingstodo
