Terra-Cotta Warriors No. 1 Pit Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The pit of terracotta warriors and horses is located in the south of Xiyang Village, 1.5 kilometers east of the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang. Three pits have been discovered, which are respectively compiled as No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit. The three figurine pits cover an area of more than 20,000 square meters, and there are nearly 8,000 pottery figurines and horses that are similar in size to real people and real horses. There are different arms such as chariots, cavalry and infantry, arranged in an orderly manner. The terracotta figurines have different images and vivid expressions. They are a pearl in the history of ancient Chinese sculpture art and are known as "the eighth wonder of the world" and "one of the great discoveries in the archaeological history of the 20th century". In March 1974, farmers in Xiyang Village, Lintong District accidentally discovered some fragments of pottery figurines while digging a well. After more than a year of exploration and trial excavation by archaeologists, it was confirmed that it was a large-scale terracotta warrior pit, that is, the No. 1 terracotta warrior pit. Pit No. 1 is 230 meters long from east to west, 62 meters wide from north to south, 4.5 to 6.5 meters deep from the current surface, and covers an area of 14,260 square meters. According to the calculation of the arrangement density of the unearthed pottery figurines and horses, about 6,000 pottery figurines, pottery horses and a large number of bronze weapons are buried in Pit No. 1.

Terracotta Warriors | Wonder of Xi'an#falltrip The Terracotta Army, also known as the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, in the city of Xi'an, in Shaanxi Province, China, is one of the most significant archaeological discoveries in the world. The army is an astonishing archaeological site consisting of thousands of life-sized terracotta soldiers, horses, and chariots. Each figure is unique in its appearance and clothing, reflecting the diversity of the real army. This discovery has provided valuable insights into the military, art, and culture of the Qin Dynasty and is considered one of the most important archaeological findings of the 20th century. It was discovered in 1974 by local farmers who were digging a well. The find was accidental and led to the excavation of the soldiers that are meticulously detailed, depicting infantry, archers, cavalry, and generals. They are armed with real weapons of the time, such as swords, spears, and crossbows. The Terracotta Warriors were created to accompany China's first emperor, Qin Shi Huang, in the afterlife. They were meant to serve and protect him in death, reflecting the belief in the afterlife during the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC). The whole site is divided into several pits, with Pit 1 being the largest and most well-known. Pit 2 and Pit 3 contain additional figures, horses, and chariots. Tips and Tricks ⁉️ ⛏️The Terracotta Army is part of a larger complex, including the emperor's mausoleum, which remains largely unexcavated. The mausoleum is thought to be a massive underground palace containing various treasures and the tomb of Qin Shi Huang. It's a UNESCO World Heritage site and a must-see for anyone interested in archaeology and Chinese history. #SpinTheWorld #wecreate #tripSpinTheWorld9

Terracotta warriorsThe Terracotta Warriors are one of the oldest and most famous attractions in China! The attraction itself is situated near Xian and can easily be accessed by taxi. I would advise hiring a local guide as they would be able to tell you more about the site and give a more insightful experience. There are lots of information stalls and shops at the attraction as well as some food and beverage outlets near the exit #tripblazers #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #chinaMarty O’Brien20

Terra-Cotta WarriorsDefinitely a must do while in Xi’an so much culture and history behind these statues. It’s hard to believe they are still uncovering these amazing statues. Almost harder to believe that each one has a different face, if we could only learn the story behind each statue and the story of the person it’s modeled after. Honestly breathtaking in every way! #chinatravel #china #xianEmilieGrace15

How to visit the Terra-Cotta Army in Xi'AnXi'An in China's Shaanxi is famous for the City-Wall, food and... The Terra-Cotta Army! Some decades ago, a team of Chinese and international archeologists found the site with hundreds of Terra-Cotta figures from ancient times. Today it's a museum and it's really impressive to visit. 📍 The Chinese name is 秦始皇兵马俑博物馆 (BingMaYong Museum). There are basically three options to go there: 1) Public bus from Xi'An Center 2) Own car 3) Taxi. It's a little bit outside the center, so better don't go too late. 🎟️ Entrance is 120RMB, discounts for students #bucketlistreboot #xian #shaanxi #terracottaarmyA_Wanderer12

I've stepped on the pit of the Terracotta Army in Xi'an for everyone! Avoiding the thunder"The ground plane is a mysterious mirror. Above the mirror, there are the towering and silent mausoleums; beneath the mirror, the time of the empire still walks." The Mausoleum of Emperor Qin Shi Huang is as big as 78 Forbidden Cities, equivalent to an underground kingdom, and the Terracotta Army is just the tip of the iceberg. Let's talk about the 【Bronze Crown】 bronze chariots and horses, which took 8 years to restore and were made at a scale of one-half of the vehicles used by Emperor Qin Shi Huang's royal fleet. The displayed No. 1 chariot is a replica. The two chariots are mainly made of bronze, and they are the earliest, largest, most complex, most complete, highest level, most exquisitely made, and best-preserved bronze chariots unearthed in China. They are also the largest bronze artifacts discovered in world archaeology. 👀Recommended visiting order for the Terracotta Army: Pit No. 1—Pit No. 3—Pit No. 2 Pit No. 1: Currently the pit with the most terracotta warriors, the first three rows without armor are infantry (dare-to-die troops). I thought I couldn't capture the effect of the sunset on the terracotta warriors on a rainy day (in fact, I couldn't without a telephoto lens), but there is a warm light spotlight overhead, which photographers can use to create. Pit No. 3: It is the command center, currently the smallest in scale. Deer bones have been unearthed in the pit, presumably used by the army for divination. Pit No. 2: Still being "developed", there is a work area set up on-site, and archaeologists are usually present to restore the terracotta warriors. ♢The warriors in this pit are special forces, among which the kneeling archer was unearthed intact, the only one that has not been restored, with clear hair, shoelace eyelets, fingernails, and even palm prints visible. ♢The Terracotta Army has a unique face for each soldier, the ultimate in realism, admiring the craftsmanship of the artisans two thousand years ago, and also paying tribute to today's cultural relic restorers. 👉🏻About stamping: After exiting Pit No. 2, go to the cultural and creative store on the left outside (the ice cream sold there has no eyes), where you need to buy a pass for 35 yuan, and staff will help you stamp it. 🚌Transportation: Take Line 1/6 to 'Textile City', transfer to Line 9 to 'Huaqing Pool', and then take a bus or taxi (10 yuan/person) to get there. 🎫Ticket: 120 yuan/person (includes the Terracotta Army + Mausoleum of Emperor Qin Shi Huang) Students 60 yuan/person 📍Address: Emperor Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum Museum, Lintong District, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province ⏰Opening hours: 8:30~18:00 (entry stops at 17:00)orvillea_0821
Terracotta WarriorsTerracotta warriors are a very special place to visit close from Xi'an. We went there by public transport. It was fast and cheap. There is a really easy combination taking the subway from the center to Fangzhicheng (L1) and then from Fangzhicheng to Hua Qing (L9). Then you can take a bus directly to the gate of the scenic area. We arrived there early in the morning and we enjoyed a lot the visit.Hederahelix

Terracotta Army: Unveiling Ancient MarvelsImmersing myself in the awe-inspiring presence of the Terracotta Army was a journey that transcended time and space. As I ventured into the massive pits housing these ancient wonders, I was struck by the sheer magnitude of this archaeological marvel that has stood the test of time for over two millennia. The silent, stoic army of thousands of life-sized clay warriors, chariots, and horses stood as a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the ancient Chinese artisans. Each soldier bore unique facial features, a testament to the skilled artisans who meticulously crafted these clay soldiers with astonishing precision. The magnitude of Emperor Qin Shi Huang's vision for his afterlife became apparent as I marveled at the sheer scale of the excavation site. The sense of awe and wonder that washed over me was palpable as I stood in the presence of these intricately detailed figures, each one a reminder of a rich history that seemed to come alive before my eyes. The exhibit's expertly curated displays and informative plaques provided a comprehensive understanding of the historical, cultural, and artistic significance of this unparalleled archaeological find. It felt like peering into an ancient world frozen in time, a tangible connection to a civilization that has long since passed. Witnessing the preservation efforts and ongoing excavation works further highlighted the dedication to safeguarding this invaluable part of our shared human heritage. It was an experience that left an indelible mark on my understanding of history and a deep appreciation for the stories waiting to be discovered beneath the earth's surface. The Terracotta Army experience was a remarkable journey through ancient history, offering a glimpse into the ingenuity and artistry of ancient China. It was a reminder of the enduring legacy of human creativity and a testament to the boundless wonders waiting to be unearthed. #terracottaarmy #ancientmarvels #archaeologicalwonders #emperorqinshihuang #historicaldiscovery #chinatravel #worldheritage #ancientchina #archaeology #historicalwonderHerChinaOdyssey1

It’s really magnificent to see the scale as well as number of warriors uncovered, yet there are much more left uncovered. Reason is because current technology is not able to preserve the paintwork on the warriors which we are told will peel off and scatter when exposed to the current environment. One has to see it with our own eyes to appreciate the grandeur of what has been left behind for us to appreciate. Need to understand that there are a lot of visitors so there is a lot of jostling for positions to take photos so be physically and mentally prepared. Pits 1 and 3 have no air conditioning and with the number of visitors, it can get really hot. There’s lots of photos of the warriors in pit 1 so I am sharing a few photos from pit 3 where excavations are still ongoing. Have fun and enjoy your trip there.
Known as the eighth wonder of the world, Qin Shihuang's burial, very shocking humanistic landscape, worth a visit.

Terra-cotta Warriors is a must-see place in Xian. It is considered one of the greatest archaeological sites in the world, and one of the greatest discoveries of the 20th century. It was built to protect Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of China and his tomb. The emperor thought these soldiers and horses would protect him in the afterlife and could conquer with the enemies. The Terracotta Army was discovered on March 29th, 1974 by a group of farmers. It consists of 3 main pits. Pit 1 is the largest and most impressive pit. People mostly take pictures here. Every figure differs in facial features and expression, hairstyle and gestures.When you go to Terra-cotta, you need to have a guide. The cost for a guide service is 200¥. There is an English speaking guide, which is good for those who can't understand Chinese. The guide is telling lots of details about Terracotta Warriors, even things that you can't find online. By the way, don’t forget 3D warriors video, which is 68¥. Especially recommended. When you’re watching the 3D, there’s a feeling that you’re one of the warriors. It’s a breathtaking moment. I enjoyed it a lot. Date: July 13, 2022
