The Qin
Mausoleum & The Terracotta
Warriors
----The Eighth Wonder of the
World
The Qin Mausoleum
 The
Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin (widely
known as Qin Shi Huang in Chinese, 259-210
BC),stands at the north foot of the Mount Li in
Lintong County of Shaan'xi Province, is one of the
earliest and largest ancient imperial mausoleums
that remain intact in China today.
Soon
after his success in defeating the six other rival
kingdoms of his time and unifying China as one big
imperial country, the First Qin Emperor started
the construction of A Fang Palace and his own
mausoleum at Mount Li. The work carried out in a
massive scale, with some 700 000 workers from all
over the country to work on the construction
projects. The tremendous mausoleum, which took the
labourers a full even years to finally complete
its construction, is encircled by a double wall
with the inner structure ex-tending more than
2,500 meters long and the outer one more than
twice as long. The interior coffin in the
underground palace was cast in bronze, and
decorated with exotic treasures collected from all
part of the country. The Qin mausoleum was a rear
engineering project in history in terms of size
and of quantity and quality of the treasures
buried with the Emperor.
