Walking around Terracotta Army – Pit 3 – Xian, China. Dec 2024.



Walk 25 meters (27 yards) northwest from Pit 1 and you will arrive at Terracotta Warriors Pit 3. Although this is the smallest of the three main pits, with an area of 520 square meters (622 square yards), it was the command center for both Terracotta Warriors Pit 1 and Pit 2. The archaeological team has already finished the excavation work on Pit No. 3, which was found in June 1976 and opened to the public on September 2, 1989.
Built in the shape of the Chinese character โ€œๅ‡นโ€, the Terracotta Army Pit 3 measures 17.6 meters (19.2 yards) long from east to west, 21.4 meters (23.4 yards) wide from north to south and 4.8 meters (15.7 feet) deep. It can be divided into three parts: chariot and horse chamber, northern wing room, and southern wing room. /www.travelchinaguide.com/
