Spending 50 yuan, I actually saw the fake Terracotta Warriors with 'double eyelids and red lips' in Xi'an?

Yes, you read that right. These are the fake Terracotta Warriors of Xi'an, their entire bodies are colored. With a thousand different faces and expressions, their facial features, expressions, and stances, 'double eyelids, red lips' have been standing for 30 years! This is the World's Eight Wonders Museum. In the World's Eight Wonders Museum, you can see the world-famous Eight Wonders of the World Egypt's Pyramids Iraq's Hanging Gardens of Babylon Turkey's Temple of Artemis at Ephesus Greece's Statue of Zeus at Olympia Turkey's Mausoleum at Halicarnassus Greece's Colossus of Rhodes Egypt's Lighthouse of Alexandria China's Terracotta Army of Emperor Qin Shi Huang It was not until I came here myself that I understood why this 'fake' attraction has not been shut down. The old-fashioned sculptures, cheap decorative paintings Coral sewn with needle and thread Fake mountains hammered out of tin Looking at this huge and comical exhibition hall My heart is both pained and I can't help but smile bitterly. Now, except for the Egyptian Pyramids and China's Terracotta Army of Emperor Qin Shi Huang which are well-preserved, the other six wonders have been destroyed. The staff in the museum told me that since the remaining six wonders are no longer there, they try to restore these buildings as much as possible so that everyone has the chance to see these buildings. Because it is a knockoff attraction, it has always been cursed and misunderstood by people. Little do they know that only the museum curator silently defends the hard work of those craftsmen from the last century! If you want to know what the real Eight Wonders of the World look like then you might as well come here to see! After all, the other six wonders can no longer be restored. When I was leaving, I found that there were still students coming to organize visits. At this moment, I finally understood the real reason why this World's Eight Wonders Museum has existed until today.
