The pit of terracotta warriors and horses of the Qin dynasty is situated on the east side of Emperor Qin Shihuang's mausoleum and 38km to the east of Xi'an City.
The pit was discovered in March 1974.
The pit covers an area of almost 20000 square meters and over 100 chariots, 660 horses, 7000 warriors of various kinds and a number of weopens were buried in it.
These vivid and magnificent terracotta warriors and horses were constructed with fine workmanship and arranged in a battle array that gives one a microcosm of the army of the Qin Dynasty.
These figures are treasured works of art for the Chinese nation and indicate the amazing capabilities of the nation in the Qin dynasty.
