Jacques Shirac, president of France, once said: "One can't claim to
have visited China unless one has seen
these terracotta warriors."Terra Cotta Army: Detailed guide to the history and culture of the Terracotta Army.

Shirac predicted that the Qin
terracotta warriors would become a major historical site to attract overseas tourists to China. The number of tourists to
Shaanxi in Northwest China has increased steadily in the past 23 years
since terracotta figurines were first discovered. Examples of such figurines have
been displayed on five continents, thus
arousing keen interest in the terracotta
warriors. A report in the United Evening
News of Singapore said that all leaders
from other countries who visit Beijing find
it a great pleasure to go to Xi'an, capital
of Shaanxi Province, and see the
terrocotta warriors. What is the reason
for the Qin figurines to enjoy such great
popularity? Let us go to Xi'an to have a
look at the Museum of Qin Terracotta
Warriors.
