Museum of Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses West Gate, Archaeological museum in Lintong District, China.
The museum contains three excavation pits displaying thousands of terracotta warriors, horses, and chariots arranged in military formations.
Local farmers discovered the first terracotta fragments in 1974 while digging a well, leading archaeologists to uncover an underground army from 210 BCE.
Each warrior figure exhibits distinct facial features, hairstyles, and armor details, representing the military ranks and ethnic diversity of ancient Chinese forces.
The museum provides free shuttle buses between exhibition halls, with guided tours available in multiple languages from 8:30 AM to 6:30 PM daily.
The underground vault contains mercury rivers and celestial pearls, designed to recreate Emperor Qin's empire in miniature for his afterlife.
