One of the main attractions in Xi'an is the Terracotta Army, a collection of life-sized sculptures depicting the armies of Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China. This archaeological site is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is considered one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of the 20th century. The Terracotta Army consists of thousands of intricately carved statues of soldiers, horses, and chariots, each with unique facial expressions and details. Exploring this ancient army is like stepping back in time and offers a fascinating glimpse into China's rich history.
