Xi'an - The Clay Warriors of the First Emperor, China | Treasures of the World

Immediately after ascending to the throne, the first Chinese emperor of the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shi Huang Di, began construction of an underground burial palace. This is where you'll find the Terracotta Army, which he commissioned in 221. Since 1987, the approximately 8,000-strong army has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Gisela Mahlmann leads a tour of the fascinating burial grounds. ------- #treasuresoftheworld #terracottaarmy #china #unesco ------- Click here for the "Treasures of the World" playlist: https://bit.ly/treasures_of_the_world...
