Terracotta Warriors | Wonder of Xi'an

#falltrip The Terracotta Army, also known as the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, in the city of Xi'an, in Shaanxi Province, China, is one of the most significant archaeological discoveries in the world. The army is an astonishing archaeological site consisting of thousands of life-sized terracotta soldiers, horses, and chariots. Each figure is unique in its appearance and clothing, reflecting the diversity of the real army. This discovery has provided valuable insights into the military, art, and culture of the Qin Dynasty and is considered one of the most important archaeological findings of the 20th century. It was discovered in 1974 by local farmers who were digging a well. The find was accidental and led to the excavation of the soldiers that are meticulously detailed, depicting infantry, archers, cavalry, and generals. They are armed with real weapons of the time, such as swords, spears, and crossbows. The Terracotta Warriors were created to accompany China's first emperor, Qin Shi Huang, in the afterlife. They were meant to serve and protect him in death, reflecting the belief in the afterlife during the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC). The whole site is divided into several pits, with Pit 1 being the largest and most well-known. Pit 2 and Pit 3 contain additional figures, horses, and chariots. Tips and Tricks ⁉️ ⛏️The Terracotta Army is part of a larger complex, including the emperor's mausoleum, which remains largely unexcavated. The mausoleum is thought to be a massive underground palace containing various treasures and the tomb of Qin Shi Huang. It's a UNESCO World Heritage site and a must-see for anyone interested in archaeology and Chinese history. #SpinTheWorld #wecreate #trip

Terra-Cotta Warriors

Definitely a must do while in Xi’an so much culture and history behind these statues. It’s hard to believe they are still uncovering these amazing statues. Almost harder to believe that each one has a different face, if we could only learn the story behind each statue and the story of the person it’s modeled after. Honestly breathtaking in every way! #chinatravel #china #xian

Terracotta warriors - never fails to amaze me

Terracotta warriors - my next priority in my bucket list after Great Wall of China. It’s still as awesome seeing it in person after its discovery in 1974. Few new findings- the discovery is still ongoing; they have now restored close to 8000 real life sized terracotta warriors in actual wartime formations. And this is only the tip of the iceberg still. While the location of his tomb was identified, about 1.5km away from the location of terracotta warriors was found; it remains untouched as evidence from new imaging technology indicates that its tomb & his afterlife palace with the size of a football field is floating on massive amounts of liquid mercury that serve as rivers & sea that represents the landscape of the empire that he conquered. It’s documented that the sky of his afterlife palace is decorated with jewels that represents the stars of the universe. That’s this is possible more than 2000 years ago simply mind blowing. Opportunities to gain better understanding about the history of its maker - Qin Shi Huang, the undisputed first emperor of China among the many king and emperor of many dynasties. How could he managed to conquer 7 warring states with his armies, what makes his army different from other 6 states that offer him advantages over them? After unifying, how he managed to run the empire so efficiently that enabled him to duplicate his empire in his afterlife? What’s his psychology makeup from conquering the world to building his afterlife empire to his search for the elixir of immortality? His ruthlessness and brutality combined with his unbounded visions and practical wisdom as well as obsession with absolute power lead to his final confrontation with the ultimate reality that he defied - death. IMO, no other human being in history that has this kind of absolute power, vision & access to resources in this material world that when projected OUTWARDS could accomplish while bringing untold amounts of misery and suffering to his people yet he still fail to live on forever as he wished. Perhaps we are looking at the wrong direction…… in our search for immortality shall we look INWARD instead? Our physical appearance is limited yet what’s possible to live on is our legacy …. what we leave behind…… the good & the bad…….the beautiful & the ugly ones….. certainly his legacy remains and more to be discovered continues to amaze us & to challenge our perceptions of how much the ancient civilization achieved beyond our imagination. #awesomepic #历史古迹 #世界遗产 #世界遗产 #博物馆 #terracottawarriors

Amazing Place. Highlight of my trip in Xian

This was amazing ! Although very crowded, people do move through at a steady pace and eventually you can see everything you want to see. The scale is unimaginable until you see it for yourself in person. The detail on these warriors - all of them individuals is fascinating. Understanding the excavation and repair processes that have taken place for us to be able to view these warriors is amazing. A must see in China.

Xi'an terracotta army, a cultural wonder.

When we read that this tourist attraction allowed around 13 000 people per hour, and 63 000 a day, we got a bit anxious. When we got there and so the queue, our anxiety grew a bit more. When we saw the crowd in the 1st pit, we just wanted to turn around, but we're glad we didn't. It's such a marvelous sight. The details on each and every one of the statues are impressive to look at. You can admire the hard work that is put into restoration, and it's good to see that the government takes good care of cultural assets. We unfortunately didn't get an audio guide as we were running late, so we had to read a bit about it. Luckily for us, there's plenty of space in the park to do so. It would have been amazing to witness how excavation and restoration are made. Anyways, we definitely enjoyed our visit here and hope the staff keeps on with the good work. Tips for travellers and how to visit: ⭐ book tickets through the WeChat mini program ⭐ to get there from Xi'an, take the metro to Huaqing pool, from there, exit and take the bus 613 or 602 ⭐ bring lots of water (once you're inside, you won't be able to buy drinks at the vending machine as they only accept Chinese credit cards) ⭐ arrive at least 30 minutes prior the end of your entry time as it can get crowded ⭐ enjoy your trip despite the crowds #terracottaarmy

The Terracotta Army in Xi'an is truly a miracle that must be seen to be believed

One of the must-visit attractions in Xi'an | Terracotta Army✅ Introduction to the scenic area: The Terracotta Army in Xi'an is truly a miracle that must be seen to be believed. The burial pits of the Terracotta Army of the Mausoleum of Emperor Qin Shihuang are arranged from west to east in a pin-shaped pattern. The first pit discovered was Pit No. 1, which is rectangular and was found by farmers while digging a well. It contains more than 8,000 terracotta soldiers and horses, with sloped entrances on all sides. To the left and right of Pit No. 1 are two other terracotta pits, known as Pit No. 2 and Pit No. 3, which were scientifically discovered by archaeologists through drilling. The terracotta figures are rich and vividly depict a variety of characters with distinct personalities. Their style is robust and refined, full of moving artistic charm, and is a sign that the art of sculpture in ancient China had reached maturity. They not only inherit the pottery sculpture tradition of China since the Warring States period but also laid the foundation for the prosperity of sculpture art in the Tang Dynasty, playing a bridging role. It is hailed as 'the Eighth Wonder of the World' and 'a precious treasure of ancient human civilization'. Included in the UNESCO 'World Heritage List' About the Terracotta Army: The original colors of the Terracotta Army were colorful, with various colors including vermilion, sky blue, and lavender. However, due to the passage of time, most of the colors have faded away, and the remaining painted terracotta figures quickly oxidize and lose their color when exposed to air, turning into a terracotta color. In order to restore the Terracotta Army, archaeologists carefully excavate, patiently restore, and piece together, and it takes a long time for us to see this magnificent and majestic terracotta army formation that shocks the world! The Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty, Li Si, was the unimaginable designer of this terracotta army tomb pit, marveling at the wisdom of the ancients! Using a phrase from the National Treasures: 'Though the terracotta soldiers are nameless, they have a thousand faces. With their flesh and blood, they secure peace for the land and protect the vast rivers and mountains. How can they be nameless? The rivers and mountains are their names.' The underground army that has slept for a thousand years | One glance spans a millennium Visiting the Terracotta Army, 90% of the time needs to be spent on explanations, so it is very necessary to rent an audio guide to avoid a cursory visit!!

Another angle teaches us how great it is, in the end, when you die, you can't take anything with you, the more you cling to it, the more you suffer. ##xian #Mausoleum of Emperor Qin Shi Huang

I've stepped on the pit of the Terracotta Army in Xi'an for everyone! Avoiding the thunder

"The ground plane is a mysterious mirror. Above the mirror, there are the towering and silent mausoleums; beneath the mirror, the time of the empire still walks." The Mausoleum of Emperor Qin Shi Huang is as big as 78 Forbidden Cities, equivalent to an underground kingdom, and the Terracotta Army is just the tip of the iceberg. Let's talk about the 【Bronze Crown】 bronze chariots and horses, which took 8 years to restore and were made at a scale of one-half of the vehicles used by Emperor Qin Shi Huang's royal fleet. The displayed No. 1 chariot is a replica. The two chariots are mainly made of bronze, and they are the earliest, largest, most complex, most complete, highest level, most exquisitely made, and best-preserved bronze chariots unearthed in China. They are also the largest bronze artifacts discovered in world archaeology. 👀Recommended visiting order for the Terracotta Army: Pit No. 1—Pit No. 3—Pit No. 2 Pit No. 1: Currently the pit with the most terracotta warriors, the first three rows without armor are infantry (dare-to-die troops). I thought I couldn't capture the effect of the sunset on the terracotta warriors on a rainy day (in fact, I couldn't without a telephoto lens), but there is a warm light spotlight overhead, which photographers can use to create. Pit No. 3: It is the command center, currently the smallest in scale. Deer bones have been unearthed in the pit, presumably used by the army for divination. Pit No. 2: Still being "developed", there is a work area set up on-site, and archaeologists are usually present to restore the terracotta warriors. ♢The warriors in this pit are special forces, among which the kneeling archer was unearthed intact, the only one that has not been restored, with clear hair, shoelace eyelets, fingernails, and even palm prints visible. ♢The Terracotta Army has a unique face for each soldier, the ultimate in realism, admiring the craftsmanship of the artisans two thousand years ago, and also paying tribute to today's cultural relic restorers. 👉🏻About stamping: After exiting Pit No. 2, go to the cultural and creative store on the left outside (the ice cream sold there has no eyes), where you need to buy a pass for 35 yuan, and staff will help you stamp it. 🚌Transportation: Take Line 1/6 to 'Textile City', transfer to Line 9 to 'Huaqing Pool', and then take a bus or taxi (10 yuan/person) to get there. 🎫Ticket: 120 yuan/person (includes the Terracotta Army + Mausoleum of Emperor Qin Shi Huang) Students 60 yuan/person 📍Address: Emperor Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum Museum, Lintong District, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province ⏰Opening hours: 8:30~18:00 (entry stops at 17:00)

Terracotta Warriors

Terracotta warriors are a very special place to visit close from Xi'an. We went there by public transport. It was fast and cheap. There is a really easy combination taking the subway from the center to Fangzhicheng (L1) and then from Fangzhicheng to Hua Qing (L9). Then you can take a bus directly to the gate of the scenic area. We arrived there early in the morning and we enjoyed a lot the visit.

Incredible experience I had exploring the world-famous Terracotta Museum today. The size of Pit 1 is mind-boggling. Spanning across an area of approximately 14,000 sqm, it is equivalent to the size of about 2 football fields. And what I saw inside was nothing short of breathtaking. Thousands of life-sized terracotta warriors, horses, and chariots filled the pit, all meticulously crafted and arranged in battle formation. The attention to detail in each figurine was astounding, showcasing the immense skill and craftsmanship of the ancient Chinese artisans. As I walked through the pit, I couldn't help but feel a sense of reverence for the grandeur and power of the Qin Dynasty. The terracotta warriors stood tall and proud, their expressions frozen in time, as if ready to defend their emperor at a moment's notice. It was a humbling experience to witness the legacy of an ancient civilization come to life before my eyes. I feel incredibly fortunate to have witnessed such a remarkable testament to the ancient Chinese civilization. #terracottaarmy #terracottawarriors #terracotta

Visiting Terra-cotta warriors in September.

The terra-cotta army. It was really overwhelming to visit this place. A lot of people came to watch this place. All the three pits carry different meanings. And, the vibes with all three of them are different. Each of the pits have their own uniqueness. The surrounding locations were also beautiful. History will always be a mystery. I highly recommend this place to visit in Xi’an, China.#tourist #China #terracottaarmy #terracottawarriors

8000 Terracotta Warriors buried in Tomb

8000 life-size soldiers were buried in the tomb of Qing Shi Huang, the first emperor of China. Today, I visited the famous Terracotta Army, also considered as one of the greatest archeological discoveries in the world. When the army was discovered by a local farmer in 1974, most of the clay figurines were in pieces. It has taken archeologists decades of work to piece together what once would have been models of Qing Shi Huang's best soldiers. Still, the portion containing the emperors remains have not yet been unexcavated. It was mind blowing to see such a grand scale of funerary art. Although there were thousands of figurines, each warrior had unique characteristics-facial features, hairstyle, clothing, and pose. To this day, The Terracotta Army remains an incredibly fascinating window into ancient life in China.

#terracottaarmy #xian Terracotta Army was a great place to visit. It’s located out of the city but was easy to get to (subway and bus). I was exploring the place myself, although there is an option to hire a guide. by myself I felt more flexible and free. Do not recommend to visit the place during the peak season, as the city of great historical importance attracts lots of tourists, so during the peak season you have a risk not to see anything
