Terracotta Army Pictures

Pit 1 is the largest of the three excavated pits. Covering an area of 14,260 square meters, the pit contains the vanguard, the main body, the flank and the rearguard.

Pit 2 is the grandest of the three pits. In this pit, there is a large L-shaped combat formation composed of chariot soldiers, foot soldiers and a troop of cavalry. It is the backbone of the battle array.

Pit 3 is the smallest pit and also a component of Pit 1 and Pit 2. From the layout, it was probably the headquarters or the command center for the military groups in the other two pits.

The artisans in Qin Dynasty elaborately painted the terracotta warriors, horses and chariots with rich colors after they were molded and baked. However, the colorful paint peeled off immediately when exposed to air.

The Kneeling Archers warriors are quite unique. They were in a kneeling position in the pit. The artisans in Qin Dynasty designed these soldier figures strikingly true to life.

The two bronze chariots and horses are considered to be the earliest, largest and best-preserved bronze chariots and horses in the history of Chinese archaeology.

Besides the exquisite clay  Warriors and Horses, visitors can also appreciate many coins in the Terracotta Army Museum.
