The Eternal Romance of the Terracotta Warriors

 

 "Qin Shi Huang drank mercury, thinking it would give him eternal life."
- BBC, Aprl 12, 2017

 

Xian is China’s ancient capital and home to the world famous Terra Cotta Warriors. The Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses Museum is the result of the most significant archeological excavations of the 20th century. Work is ongoing at this site, which is around 1.5 kilometers east of Emperor Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum. Upon ascending the throne at the age of 13 (in 246 BC), Qin Shi Huang, later the first Emperor of all China, had begun to work for his mausoleum. It took 11 years to finish. It is speculated that many buried treasures and sacrificial objects had accompanied the emperor in his afterlife. A group of peasants uncovered some pottery while digging for a well nearby the royal tomb in 1974. Life size terracotta figures of warriors and horses arranged in battle formations are the star features at the museum. They are replicas of what the imperial guard should look like in those days of pomp and vigor.

The museum is divided into three sections: No. 1 Pit, No. 2 Pit, and No. 3 Pit respectively. They were tagged in the order of their discoveries. No. 1 Pit is the largest, first opened to the public on China's National Day, 1979. There are columns of soldiers at the front, followed by war chariots at the back. No. 2 Pit, found in 1976, contains over a thousand warriors and 90 chariots of wood. It was unveiled to the public in 1994. Archeologists came upon No. 3 Pit also in 1976. It is the command center of the armed forces. It went on display in 1989, with 68 warriors, a war chariot and four horses. After pausing for lunch at a nearby restaurant, we’ll the drive back to Xian.

 

Once we’re back in Xian you’ll get a chance to walk or take a bike ride around Xian's still functioning City Wall. Xian is one of the few Chinese cities that still has its city wall intact (Photo: Riding bicycle on City Wall).

 

If the city wall is not for you, we could instead visit the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. This pagoda is surrounded by a still functioning Buddhist temple (named Da Ci’en Temple). The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is one of the most famous Buddhist pagodas in China. The Pagoda was built in the Tang Dynasty (618-907) for the study of Buddhist scriptures. Although it has been attacked by centuries of weather, war and seismic activity, which destroyed most of the original material of the structure, a pagoda by this name and style still exists on the site.

 

Following your visit to either the Big Goose Pagoda, or City Wall, you’ll be taken to the Xian train station to go back to Beijing.

 

Return Transportation Choices:

 

1) Take high-speed train #G666 (5:05pm) or #G670 (5:55pm), arriving in Beijing before midnight. If you are in a rush and want to skip the Big Goose Pagoda or City Wall, you are take an earlier train G662 at 2:40 pm to come back to Beijing in the afternoon.

 

2) Take an overnight sleeper train (Z20, Z44, T42, T44) at 19:00 and arrive in Beijing at 8 am the next day morning.

 

3. Take an evening flight at 9 pm and arrive in Beijing in two hours.
