⏳ A army frozen in time: What to expect from your visit to Terracotta Warriors

#cherryblossom2024
This visit was one of the most anticipated by me. These warriors arouses everybody curiosity.

🤔 Why were they built?

🫨 How long did it take?

🤯 How were they discovered?

⛔️ I will not give you spoilers. You must visit and figure out by yourself, just because it’s more magical like that ✨

✅ what to expect then:
The place is not that big, you can see all the 3 pits within 2 hours.
First, go straight to pit 1. It is where most of the warriors are. It also includes the warriors “hospital”, where you can see them laying on literally hospital stretchers (that’s a bit funny 😁), but it’s a really serious work to repair all the broken ones 🫡

✅ only ONE among thousands of warriors is intact. That one is exposed in a glass display. It’s called “the lucky warrior”. You can see all details up close 🧡

😋 you must try the warrior ice cream. It’s delicious and cute.

❌ After visiting the 3 pits. You can go to the emperor mausoleum. But don’t expect to see his tomb. You will not have access to it. Instead, there are the 2 carriages with bronze horses that you might like to see🐴 I don’t think it’s with though.

💛💛💛 additional tip 💛💛💛
If you are lucky one of the persons who first discovered the warriors sometimes is there selling some books. You can stop by and say hello 👋
