3H/2M perjalanan dengan keretapi daripada Kashgar, Turpan dan seterusnya destinasi terahir Xian. Semasa ZBA sampai cuaca berkabus dan sejuk. Ini merupakan kali kedua sejak lebih 10 tahun yang lampau ZBA menjejaki kaki ke Xian. Dulu ZBA memulakan perjalanan juga dengan keretapi daripada Guangzhau ke Xian. Kami ke destinasi Terracotta tetapi tidah berkesempatan memasuki komplek Terracotta kerana musim sejuk dan salji tebal.
The terracotta army was discovered by accident in 1974 at Xian, in China, when local farmers digging a well broke into a pit containing 6000 life-size terracotta figures. Excavation in 1976 revealed two further pits both filled with terracotta warriors. On the eastern side of the tomb a
number of small pits have been found containing the bones of horses and smaller size terracotta figures of grooms. Since then discoveries have continued to be made at the site and to date the remains of nearly 8000 terracotta figures have been recovered..
There has been worldwide fascination in the discovery of the Terracotta Army and it is now regarded as the 8th Wonder of the Ancient. The terracotta army was guarding the tomb of the First Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang di, who lived over 2200 years ago. He became
famous for unifying the warring states into what is now China, and for becoming the country's first emperor. He is remembered for instigating the building of the Great Wall of China, and the fanatical fear of death and an obsessive quest for the secret of immortality. This craze for life and the fear of death ultimately gave us the legacy of the terracotta warriors.
The terracotta warriors are unique. Not only are they life-size and individually modelled in clay, but the detail of the figures is astounding. Not only can we observe the construction of body armour of terracotta army, with even the heads of rivets standing out, but the soles of the shoes of the kneeling warriors are modelled with fine tread patterns. The hands and the heads of the terracotta warriors were made separately, and each head is reputed to be different and
individual. Although all the warriors were in the pits they had been buried in, many of them were in pieces and have had to be restored. The museum technicians and craftsmen who undertook this difficult task often had to remodel parts to restore areas of the figures that were too badly damaged to be reconstructed.
Terracotta Worrier adalah satu destinasi yang menjadi kemestian jika pembaca melawat Xian. Terdapat berbagai cara untuk sampai kesana. Daripada lapangan terbang, pembaca boleh menggunakan Airport Shuttle Line 2 dan terus ke Station keretapi Xian. Tambang ialah RMB25. Jika dengan teksi (Hijau) boleh terus sahaja ke destinasi dengan bayaran RMB200.
Cara yang paling senang untuk ke Terracotta Worrior ialah daripada Station Keretapi Xian. Perhentian bas terletak disebelah kiri semasa keluar daripada station. Tourist bas No 5 (306) sedia menanti dan kekadang ratusan manusia berbaris untuk
menaiki bas. Perjalanan ke Terracotta Worrior biasaanya mengambil masa satu jam. Berhenti di perhentian terahir dan bayaran ialah RMB7 untuk seorang bagi satu hala perjalanan. Bas akan bergerak sebaik penuh dan tiket boleh dibeli terus daripada kondaktur didalam bas. Teracotta Worrior dibuka mulai jam 0830am-19.30pm mengikut musim. Begitu juga dengan harga tiket. Bermula Disember - Febuary harga tiket masuk ialah RMB120 dan bulan March - November RMB150.
Daripada bas station pembaca dikehendaki berjalan kaki sejauh 100 meter ke kaunter tiket. Elakan daripada terburu-buru kerana dalam perjalanan banyak kedai-kedai menjual cenderahati dan kedai makanan tersedia untuk pengunjung.
Daripada situ kita dikenakan pemeriksaan tiket sebelum dibenarkan masuk. Kemudian berjalan lagi lebih kurang 500 meter kepintu masuk kedua. Disana pemeriksaan ketat dilakukan kepada semua pengunjung dan sekali lagi ticket kita akan disahkan oleh mesin pengimbas.
Bagi yang kurang upaya, perkhidmatan buggy bas disediakan dengan bayaran yang tidak termasuk dalam harga tiket. Bagi ZBA adalah lebih baik mengambil perjalanan santai sekitar 30 minit disamping dapat melihat pohon pears yang berbuah lebat jika kena pada musimnya.
