This is another angle o famous terracotta army at Xi'an.. It is almost 30 years since the first discovery by group of farmers on 1974. Now, based on what I read, there still several 'army' that still need to be unearthed. This photo taken at pit 1 and it is one of the well preserved pit with many standing still statue.. So, what do you think about this statue? Is it important? It is one of the important historical sites in China. Current estimates are that in the three pits containing the Terracotta Army there were over 8,000 soldiers, 130 chariots with 520 horses and 150 cavalry horses.
