The Terracotta Army

Each statue is remarkably detailed, from unique facial expressions to individually sculpted armor, reflecting the extraordinary craftsmanship of the Qin era artisans. The discovery of this buried army has revolutionized our understanding of ancient Chinese history and continues to draw global attention, fascinating visitors with its scale and mystery. The Terracotta Army is now considered one of the world's greatest archaeological treasures.
