Pictures of Xian
Xi'an is well-known throughout the world for its 8000 terra-cotta soldiers, each representing an individual and life-sized member of Emperor Qin's Army, depicted in battle dress according to rank and unit, and numerous figures of horses and chariots, and this is only part of what is believed to be his grand tomb. Emperor Qin ordered the construction of his tomb when he was only 13 years old, an order that involved hundreds of thousands of workers and thirty-six years to complete. It is also believed that Qin ordered that the tomb workers and supervisors involved in its design be buried alive to protect its secrets.
