The Terracotta warriors and horses was an amazing art to see. The warriors range in different heights, the taller, the higher ranking they are. The purpose of the warriors was to protect the first emperor of China in his afterlife. The site was found by farmers digging a water well in 1974. Now, three pits have been uncovered. Still, with this historical site being relatively new, much of it is still uncovered. Pictured is a photo taken from pit one. Pit one is the most uncovered. In this pit, warriors, horses, and chariots were found. A museum was built over top of the pits to preserve the site. The warriors were originally painted but when exposed to the air the paint deteriorated almost instantly. I hope in a few years from now, the museum will grow bigger and I am excited to see what else will be uncovered in the pits. Xi’an, I must say will always be one of my favorite cities in China to visit.
