Emperor Qinshihuang’s Mausoleum Site Museum

Emperor Qinshihuang’s Mausoleum Site Museum was built based on the Mausoleum of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, which was historically known as Lishan Garden and is the largest imperial tomb in China. In February, 2009, the local bureau of cultural heritage declared the establishment of the Museum. The site area retains the Museum of Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang and has built the Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum Site Park (Lishan Garden) based on the discoveries from the mausoleum of the emperor.

As a part of the museum, the Museum of Terracotta Warriors and Horses is located 37 km (23 mi) east of Xi’an city. The pits of terracotta warriors and horses first discovered in 1974 were one of the biggest contemporary archeological discoveries. (travelchinaguide).
