Terracotta Warriors And Horses
As you know, I failed to book the in-time ticket for Guangzhou. Therefore, have no choice but to stay in Xi’an for another one week. During this period of time, there’s barely any people on campus to company me. So I decided to go around this city. First, it would be the terracotta warriors and horses, because of my unexpected injury in my freshman year,I missed the chance to go there with my father and threw it out of my mind for more than three years. .
The Mausoleum is located at the northern Shaanxi Province, at the foot of Lishan Hill in Lintong. It is the largest mausoleum ever discovered in the world. The First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty successfully defeated all rival ducal states and unified China by establishing the first centralized feudal dynasty. And this mausoleum is built as a national sacrifice for him.
It covers a total of 2.18 million square meters. The tomb itself covers 220,000 square meters, originally 166 meters in hight, but reduced to 76 meters by weathering and damage. The bottom of the tomb measures 485 meters by 515 meters. Magnificent grandeur！
