The 2,200-Year-Old Bronze Chariots of the first Emperor of China

#postandearn
Bronze Chariots of the first Emperor of China. They were moved into to its new bunker-like Bronze Museum in 2021. They were displayed with the Terracotta Army Relic’s Hall before.
They were unearthed in fragments and over 3000 pieces per chariot. Each chariot weighs over 1 ton.

Found in 1980, 20 meters west of Qin Shi Huang’s tomb mound. They are made as Ceremonial “soul vehicles" for the emperor’s afterlife .

REMEMBER: This is not in the terracotta army site, you need to go back at the entrance/exit gate coz the free shuttle bus going to the chariots are parked there.

Once you arrive at the site, you will need to take another shuttle /golf cart to take you around the place, only 15 rmb for the hop on and hop off cart. The chariots will be one of the stops.
