The Terracotta Army was discovered by local farmers in Xian in 1974. The government built the soldierand- horse funerary statues museum in 1975 and opened it in 1979. The museum has an area of 16,300 square metres and systematically keeps over 8,000 soldier statues, chariots and horses including the tomb of Emperor Qin Shi Huang in three large pits. It was recognized by UNESCO as world heritage site in 1987. That museum is a site depicting the cultural standards of ancient Chinese people attracting 30,000 visitors a day. On significant days, the museum is visited by more than 100,000 people.
