Qin Shi Huang Emperor was a great historical figure, who unified the six districts of China to be one country and the name China comes from him. He unified the country, enforced one written language, one monetary system etc. But he was extremely ruthless. His great feat was unifying China at the cost of many, many lives. The most intriguing thing was that, as the tour guide told me, the farmer who made the original discovery now works for the Museum. But it was a pity that he wasn't there that day. He was an illiterate farmer when he first found the statues. Now he is sort of a celebrity. It is said that the only words he knows how to write is his name. If you buy the book, he will sign it for you for free.
The terra-cotta army was beyond my expectation. I didn't expect the terra cotta armies to be housed in a large building that looked like a modified airplane hangar. But it does makes sense, a kind of good way to protect the dig site somehow, I feel. Many of the statues were destroyed shortly after Qin Shi Huang's death and have been restored. In the back of the building, you can see where they are working on restoring more of them. There are 3 pits in the Museum for terracotta warrior figures on show. Pit 1 is the largest one and with the most things to see. Every pit has their own characteristic. Listen carefully to your guide, or you would get any anything after touring that.
