Image description

Terracotta Warriors guard the tomb of China's first emperor Qin Shihuang in Xian as they have been doing quietly for 2,200 years before being discovered 26 years ago. Chinese farmer Yang Zhifa accidentally unearthed three of the 7,000 life-sized Terracotta Warriors when he was digging a well. Although his discovery kicked off one of the greatest archaeological digs in history, local officials awarded him 10 yuan (US 1.2) for each of the three 2,200-year-old statues in 1974. The Warriors have become such a big business that more than 1.5 million tourists a year visit Xian, a grimy industrial city that once vied with ancient Rome and Constantinople as the greatest metropolis on earth.
