🐎 Thousands of troops, underground reappear!
It's my first time to enter the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum, I can't help but "wow" 😲! Thousands of life-size soldiers, war horses, and chariots, standing in front of you, the momentum is so shocking that your heart beats faster💓!
The terracotta warriors and horses are divided into three pits, the largest pit No. 1 is the focus, a total of more than 6,000 pieces of pottery figurines, soldiers are tall, each looks different, some even have beards, hair buns, eyes are carved super delicate😮

🏛 Three major pits introduced quick Guide
• Pit No. 1: the biggest + most shocking 💥 Once inside to see the "underground Legion" formation, is IG must take pictures 📸
• Pit No. 2: mainly chariots, archers, talking about tactical formations 📐
• Pit No. 3: The command center, with general, military advisor roles, smaller in scale but high status👨✈️
There are many things to see in the exhibition hall, including painted figurines models, actual weapons, and introductions to unearthed artifacts - it's great for history fans to study slowly🔍

🎨 Coloring Terracotta Warriors Trivia
It turns out that the terracotta warriors were not gray! When unearthed, there are red, purple, green, blue and other colors🎨, but they will quickly discolor after contact with air. Some of the "original color reconstructions" will be displayed on site, which is shocking!
