About Xian

Xi'an, capitale di molte dinastie cinesi e inizio della Via della Seta, ospita l'Esercito di Terracotta e le mura Ming intatte.

L'Esercito di Terracotta, trovato da contadini che scavavano un pozzo nel 1974, si trova in vaste fosse fuori città: migliaia di guerrieri, cavalli e carri di argilla a grandezza naturale, sepolti a guardia della tomba di Qin Shi Huang, il primo imperatore della Cina. Ogni figura ha il suo volto, e la scala è impressionante.
