In December 987, the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang and the Terracotta Warriors and Horses were inscribed on the World Heritage List. Qin Shi Huang established the first unified, multi-ethnic, centralized state in Chinese history in 221 BC.

The Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, where the First Emperor, who wished his descendants to be emperors for generations, is buried, is located in Lintong District, 35 kilometers east of Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province, and is the first emperor's mausoleum in Chinese history. History tells us that Qin Shihuang enlisted more than 700,000 craftsmen to build this mausoleum, which took 38 years to construct while producing wonders.

In March 1974, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses from the 5-meter-deep underground "out of nowhere", is the luck of a few farmers, but also a historical inevitability. Although located in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang east of 1.5 kilometers to the Terracotta Warriors one, two and three pits as the main body of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum of the First Emperor of Qin Shi Huang, still covers an area of more than 300 acres, the scale of the grand, majestic.

"The 8,000 terracotta warriors and horses are like a resurrected legion, lodged to guard the tomb of Qin Shi Huang." Qin Shihuang Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum archaeological team leader Liu Zhancheng said: "Although the terracotta warriors, but they are like a real person in size, or wearing knee-length clothes, armor, holding a long weapon, or the waist bundled with leather belt, legs tie wrapped legs, foot on the square mouth Qiqi head warped pointed shoes, or black hair, blue robes, green face, leaving more than just a majestic military might, more than 2,200 years ago, the ancient people's living reality."

The mausoleum area covers an area of nearly 8 square kilometers, there are the inner city and the outer city of two, the sealing of the soil was quadrilateral cone, the existing height of 76 meters, surrounded by a large number of ground architectural remains and burial objects. The mausoleum is the place where Qin Shi Huang's coffin was placed, and there are more than 400 burial pits and tombs around the mausoleum, the main burial pits are bronze carriage and horse pits, rare birds and animals pits, stable pits and terracotta warriors and horses pits, etc., and more than 50,000 important cultural relics have been unearthed in the past years. 1980 excavations unearthed a group of two large-scale painted bronze carriages and horses, the Gaoqiqi and the Anqiqi, which are the largest ones ever found in China. To date, China has found the largest, most ornate decoration, the structure and the Department of driving the most realistic, the most complete ancient bronze carriages and horses, known as "the crown of bronze".
