There is a saying that you have not been to China if you have not visited the terracotta warriors (bing ma yong). Located to the west of Xi'an, bing ma yong is a collection of the tomb treasures of Qin Shihuang, the first Emperor of China.

They were built by hundreds of thousands of men more than 2,000 years ago. Bing ma yong were a copy of Qin Shihuang's powerful army which conquered and unified the Six States. Each warrior was as big and vivid as a real soldier.

The facial features, expressions and hairlines of the clay warriors were exact duplicates of real ones. Life-sized war chariots and horses were also made. This army of clay statues is as effective and strong as any real-life military force.

When you visit bing ma yong it will remind you of the glorious times of the Qin Dynasty.
