One of the eight wonders of the world|The Terracotta Army

|The Terracotta Army. One of the eight wonders of the world|The Terracotta Army The Terracotta Army is a burial object of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, located in Lintong District, Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, China. It has been visited by more than 200 world leaders and heads of government, becoming a golden business card of ancient Chinese civilization, known as the 'Eighth Wonder of the World' and 'One of the Ten Rare Treasures of Ancient Tombs in the World'. The Terracotta Army has a thousand faces, clear military types, and clear ranks. ✅The standing archer is a special type of soldier in the Qin figurines, holding a crossbow, and forming a crossbow army formation with the kneeling archer. ✅The kneeling archer forms a crossbow army formation with the standing archer. The standing archer is at the front of the formation, while the kneeling archer is at the heart of the formation. ✅The warrior figurine is an ordinary soldier, with an average height of about 1.8 meters. It is the most unearthed in the Qin figurine pit. ✅The cavalry figurine is the earliest physical cavalry discovered in the history of Chinese archaeology so far. ✅The charioteer is the driver of the chariot. The charioteer was particularly important in ancient wars, especially chariot wars, and even directly related to the outcome of the war. ✅The chariot soldier, that is, the soldier on the chariot other than the charioteer and the driver. There are usually two soldiers on the chariot, namely the left and right chariot figurines. ✅The military officer figurine is lower in status than the general figurine, and is divided into lower and middle levels. ✅The general figurine is very rare in the Qin figurine pit, with less than ten unearthed, divided into robe general figurine and armor general figurine. The all-inclusive ticket for the Terracotta Army Scenic Area of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor includes three major attractions 1⃣️Terracotta Army Pits No. 1, 2, and 3 The most well-known figurine pit, a regular guest in history books, can see the majestic army formation of the entire Daqin Empire from a macro perspective (Pit No. 1), as well as the details of the military figurines (Pits No. 2 and 3) · 2⃣️Lishan Garden It is not in the same place as the previous three major figurine pits, and you need to take a free shuttle bus Lishan Garden includes the heavy bronze chariot and horse museum and three exhibition halls: the Baixi figurine pit and the civil official figurine pit · 3⃣️Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor Passing the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor from Lishan Garden to the scenic area of Pits No. 1, 2, and 3 · 🌟'Avoiding People Route' 99% of tourists will go to see the most popular Pits No. 1, 2, and 3 in the morning, and then go to Lishan Garden in the afternoon. In this way, you basically need to queue every step of the way. We do the opposite👇👇 · ⏰Go to Lishan Garden in the morning【8:30-9:00】 Baixi figurine pit (20-30min)👉Bronze chariot and horse museum (more than 1h)👉Civil official figurine pit (20-30min) · Take the free shuttle bus to the Terracotta Army, passing by the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor If you are physically strong and interested, you can also go to the mausoleum area for a walk, and then take the sightseeing bus at the gate · ⏰Arrive at the main scenic area of the Terracotta Army at noon, don't rush in, eat in the village outside🥣 At this time, the large team that visited the Terracotta Army in the morning has not come out yet, and the number of people in the restaurant will not be too many. Let's rest for a while · ⏰Enter the scenic area around【14:00】in the afternoon First visit Pit No. 2 (20-30min)👉Pit No. 3 (20-30min) 👉Enter Pit No. 1 after four o'clock in the afternoon · *If time permits, you can rest more at noon, and if you enter Pit No. 1 after【17:00】in the afternoon, it is basically a private viewing · 🌀To sum up ▫️Visiting the Terracotta Army of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor basically requires planning for a whole day ▫️Go to Lishan Garden first at eight or nine in the morning, rest more at noon, and enter Pits No. 2, 3, and 1 at three or four in the afternoon ▫️Everyone still needs to be psychologically prepared for peak season travel, there is only relative, no absolute
