Chariot and Horse Burial Pit from the Spring and Autumn Period - Ancient Chariot Museum of China

The Ancient Chariot Museum of China, located north of Houliguanzhuang Village, Qiling Subdistrict, Linzi District, Zibo City, Shandong Province, is a museum integrating chariot and horse ruins with cultural relic displays.
In 1990, to cooperate with the construction of the Jiqing Expressway, Shandong cultural relics and archaeology departments discovered a large Spring and Autumn Period chariot and horse burial pit while excavating the Houli cultural site. Its scale, complete set of accessories, exquisite horse decorations, and well-preserved state are unparalleled in modern times.

According to the staff, the Spring and Autumn chariot and horse burial pit was neatly arranged when it was unearthed. Could it be that it has not been affected or damaged by earthquakes, floods, or the like for more than 2,500 years?
Currently, a burial tomb has been discovered, but the main tomb has not yet been found, and the owner of the tomb is unknown.

Ticket price: CNY 40/person, free for people over 60 years old.
