Qinshihuang's Mausoleum
The mausoleum of Qinshihuang (259-210 BC), who unified China and founded the first, is found 5 km to the east of Lintong County. A highway conducts to the top of the tumulus for the benefit of visitors.
Terracotta Warriors & Horses
This mighty army of terracotta warriors and horses, found in three vaults 39 km east of Xi'an and 1.5 km from the Qin emperor's mausoleum, is perhaps the most popular tourist attraction of Shaanxi. An in-site museum has been built over these pits, covering a floor space of 20,000 square metres and displaying 8,000 life-size terracotta warriors, 100 or so chariots, and 30,000 weapons - an assemblage billed as the Eighth World Wonder and a world cultural heritage site.
