Xi'an ! The Terracotta Army

by Luchonda - last update: Jun 4, 2006

Legendary soldiers

Chinese warrior
To protect the Emperor Qin Shi Huangdi - this terracotta Army was builded and only recently discovered
Soldiers are about 1.80 meters of height - which was extreme for the peoples lenght - 2000 years ago
But Xi'an has to offer more :
-A nice old city with historic walls and towers
-And than the oldest mosque in China
-The wild goose pagode

Come with me
Terracotta transport

Way of transport

Not only warriors but also the way of transport is shown in several parts of the museum.
I remember that in the center there is also a filmprojection hall with a 360° panavision.You will feel like in the middle of those centuries.The film is taking about 10 minutes of your time

 I think that seeing the Terracotta Warriors in Xi'an would have to be just about top of my travel wishlist!

 Nowadays it seems to be allowed to take pics inside the TC warriors pit. I can't wait to take mine.
