Terracotta Warriors

The Warriors were discovered by a farmer in 1974 when he was digging a well. This said farmer now sits in the visitor centre signing books then pushing them dismissively towards you when he's done his job - nice! They were very impressive to see - they've uncovered over 7000 warriors, horses and chariots already and excavations are continuing. Each warrior is said to be individual, having been modelled on the warriors of the time.
