I went to visit the Terracotta Warriors in Xi'An, China. It was an incredible day learning more about China and its history. The Terracotta Army is a famous tourist attractions in China, yet it was forgotten until 2 farmers discovered it in 1974. It was built in 210–209 BCE to accompany the first emperor of China, Qhin Shi Huang in the afterlife. This sight is truly spectacular, and should be on everyone's bucket list.
The first wave inside museum was a GOOD IDEA! (830am). Unbelievable history of forgotten Terracotta warriors. Incredible archeology and restoration work to take us back in time. The idea is the Emperor would command this army in the afterlife? Amazing. Ancient history tickles my imagination. MUST DO! Video & projector add-on is worth it. Lakes of mercury? What? IS THAT REAL? FINAL REVIEW: Museum, Pits & Exhibition hall (WORTH IT!!)
