Qin Terracotta Army attracted more than 100 million visitors in past 40 years

The Qin Terra-cotta Warriors and Horses, one of the hottest tourist attractions in the world, has been opened to the public for 40 years and in that period has received more than 100 million visitors from all over the world.

On Tuesday, the museum of Qin Terra-cotta Warriors and Horses held a series of celebrations to mark the opening of the ancient treasures to the world.

The mausoleum of the first emperor (259-201 BC) of the Qin Dynasty (221-207 BC) is the largest, most complex and most abundant mausoleum of ancient China. It is one of the largest archaeological reserves in the world and a crystallization of human wisdom and labor from more than 2200 years ago.

The Terracotta Warriors and Horses are one of the greatest archaeological discoveries in the 20th century. They are the pride and precious wealth of the Chinese nation and the spiritual symbol of Chinese civilization with important historical, scientific and artistic values.

The Terracotta Warriors and Horses were found by accident in Lintong District of Xi’an, Shaanxi province in Northwest China in 1974 when some farmers dug a well.

In 1979, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum of the First Emperor of Qin Dynasty was built and opened to the public.

Since its opening 40 years ago, the museum has received more than 100 million visitors, including 224 heads of state and government.

The museum has repeatedly placed in the top 25 of TripAdvisor's "Traveler's Choice" list of the world's best museums, ranking first in China and Asia; in 2018, it was awarded "the most influential intellectual tourist attraction in the country in 2018".

The museum has made great progress in archaeological excavation, cultural relic protection and exhibition, academic research, social education, cultural exchange, wisdom management, wisdom service and cultural industry development, and has become a unique model for heritage museums.
