We visited the Terra Cotta Warriors and learned that the tomb of the emperor buried there was too dangerous to open because of booby traps built into the burial chamber. We learned each warrior has a unique face, and it is believed that the warriors were modeled after the workers that built them. There were three pits with warriors in them. We also learned that conservation efforts were being taken to preserve and restore the warriors to their original completion.
