Here’s Me standing infront of the GIANT Statue of Emperor Qin Shi Huang outside the Museum of Qin Terra Cotta Warriors & Horses in Xi’an, China :

Here’s my Museum of Qin Terra Cotta Warriors & Horses Buggy Ride Ticket :

Touring Multi-Exhibition Hall now :

As my photos taken of the No 1 Bronze Chariot are all dark & blur, I’ve hereby included its following pic which I found on the Internet :

I’m now touring inside Pit 1 of Museum of Qin Terra Cotta Warriors & Horses - WHOA!! it’s so magnificent & awesome in here!!

Housed in a bow-shaped Steel Frame - Pit 1 is 230m long, 72m wide & 22m high - larger than 2 Football Fields!!

We’re now looking at the far end side of Pit 1 where there remain many Life-like Life-sized Terra Cotta Warriors & Horses that were excavated with many Ruined ones waiting to be restored & protected :

Made of Bronze & carefully crafted - the Weapons & Fight strategy discovered with the Terra Cotta Warriors & Horses are all very advanced - there’re Bows & Arrows, Weapons for close combat, & Longer Weapons for distance combat!

And they’re all still very shiny upon discovery, & have not rusted even though they’re over 2000 years old - showing the very high Metallurgical Technology in the Qin Dynasty then!!

Master Craftsmen & Skilled Artisans from all parts of China (Shaanxi, Henan, Hubei, Shandong & Shanxi Provinces) were recruited to make the Qin Terra Cotta Warriors & Horses - fulfilling the First Emperor of United China - Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s dream of Ruling in the After-World!!

And the NAMES of these Artisans were found carved or printed on the bodies of these Terra Cotta Warriors :

The  Horses found with the Terra Cotta Warriors were very well-made too with different Life-like facial expressions.

Some of these Horses are 1.5m tall with short legs & small heads, & they’re fat with erect ears - believed to be the Hequ Horses found in Gansu today, or the Hetian Horses found in Xinjiang, which are great for racing & fighting as they’re fast & strong :

Well, I’ve now come to the end of my Touring the Multi-Exhibition Hall & Pit 1 of Museum of Qin Terra Cotta Warriors & Horses - hope you’ve enjoyed all my featured photos & stories………… 

As a famous Ancient Chinese saying goes “If One has not seen Bing Ma Yong (Terra Cotta Warriors & Horses), the One would not have been truely considered having visited China!!” :

And YES YES!! I’m most glad I made it here today to see these magificent & awesome Bing Ma Yong, & have great insights into the sophisticated & fascinating “After-Life” with modern Technology already used over 2000 years ago by the Ancient Qin Dynasty on my very first visit here to China!!

I’m indeed very blessed!!
