Terracotta Warriors, a part of the Qin emperor's tomb complex. In a vaul of 12,000 square meters and 5 meters underground lay 8,000 life-sized terracotta soldiers, each with a vivid posture as if they were in a battle and ready to defend the emperor. Now three pits are open to visitors.

 

Qin Tomb, the tomb of Qin emperor Shihuang, is best described as an underground palace with stables and an inner and outer city. Over 7,000 conscript and slave laborers built the tomb to house the countless treasures within. This underground palace has not completely explored because current archeological technology is not advanced enough to preserve the priceless artifacts held within.
