The Terracotta Army was discovered on March 29th, 1974 by a group of farmers. It consists of 3 main pits. Pit 1 is the largest and most impressive pit. People mostly take pictures here. All soldiers and horses face east. On the southern, northern, and western side there are soldiers serving as the army's defense wing. Every figure differs in facial features and expression, hairstyle and gestures. When you go to Terra-cotta, you need to have a guide. The cost for a guide service is 200¥. There is an English speaking guide, which is good for those who can’t understand Chinese. The guide is telling lots of details about Terracotta Warriors, even things that you can’t find online. We can also take a picture with the warriors. There’s a special place for that. It costs 10¥, very cheap, isn’t it? #xian #terracotta #terracottawarriors #archeology #historicalsite #pit1 #touristdestination
