Visit the Terracotta Warriors at the Xianyang Museum

Xianyang Museum Attraction Introduction Located in Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province, this historical museum was originally the Xianyang Confucian Temple built in the fourth year of the Hongwu reign (1371) of the Ming Dynasty. It is a national second-level museum and a national 3A tourist attraction. The museum opened to the public in 1962, mainly displaying historical relics from the Qin and Han dynasties, with a total collection of nearly 20,000 pieces. The museum has 7 exhibition halls, covering an exhibition area of 800 square meters, with a rich collection of exhibits, including historical relics from Qin Xianyang, 3,000 colored painted terracotta warriors from the Western Han Dynasty, religious relics, and Xianyang steles. 🔍Main Highlights: 1⃣ The original site of the museum was built during the Ming Dynasty, and the reconstruction also followed the architectural style of the Ming Dynasty. The overall architectural style has a profound historical heritage and is majestic, making the building itself worth appreciating! 2⃣ There are a large number of horse posts inside the museum, and the stone carvings of auspicious animals, zodiac figures, and characters are of high-quality craftsmanship, in various poses and with rich expressions. Many can be used as emojis 👍 3⃣ The museum's collection is rich, with many reflecting superb craftsmanship: the finely carved jade and gold artifacts are breathtaking, and even compared to today's skills, they are not inferior; the handmade gilded bronze hinges are as well-crafted as today's industrial products, and this is craftsmanship from two thousand years ago! 4⃣ The 3,000 colored painted Han terracotta warriors, each with a unique face, offer a different kind of awe than the Terracotta Army at the Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Museum. They are smaller in size but well-preserved and with better colors. The cavalry and infantry formations are vivid, majestic, and spectacular! 5⃣ The exhibits are mainly Qin and Han dynasty relics, which are ideal for those who want to gain a clear understanding of the historical context of the Qin and Han dynasties.
