Why visit
Visit the Terracotta Warriors with Century Cruises and discover one of China’s most famous archaeological sites during your travel itinerary.
The Terracotta Army stands as one of the most extraordinary archaeological discoveries of modern times, unearthed in 1974 by local farmers digging a well. This vast underground mausoleum complex, built for China’s first emperor Qin Shi Huang, features thousands of life-sized clay soldiers, horses, and chariots – each with remarkably unique facial features, hairstyles, and armor that reflect the military might of the Qin Dynasty. The site comprises three main excavation pits, with Pit 1 being the most impressive, displaying over 6,000 warriors arranged in battle formation. Pit 2 reveals the army’s sophisticated military tactics through its cavalry and archer units, while Pit 3 is believed to have served as the command center. The accompanying museum offers fascinating insights into the painstaking craftsmanship and historical significance of this UNESCO World Heritage Site, bringing to life the emperor’s quest for immortality through his eternal clay army.
