Place for tourism-
The Terracotta Army in Xi'an...
History –
The Terracotta
Army has laid underground for more than 2,000 years. However, in 1974,
farmers digging a well uncovered one of the greatest archaeological sites in
the world. In 1987 it became World Cultural Heritage.
It
is significant because the hundreds of detailed life-size models represent the
army that triumphed over allother Chinese armies in the Warring States Period
(475–221 BC), and who were the decisive factor in forming a united China.
It
raises interesting questions about why it was made, which await your
consideration when you come face-to-face with soldiers of the past.
