China, Xian, “Qin Shi Huang Terracotta Warriors & Horses Museum”
The bronze chariot & horses, “Bronze Chariot No. 2” of Emperor Qin Shi Huang's seat, is stable &comfortable.
There are three windows, one out front, & one on each side in the compartment, a door opens at the back. The roof is umbrella shaped to be symbolic of the round sky.
These half size scale-models of real chariots, authentically copied down to the very last details, complete with horses & individuals. No. 1 bronze chariot was the leading chariot of Emperor Qin Shi Huang with 2.25 mtr long & 1 mtr tall. No. 2 was the seat of Emperor Qin Shi Huang with 3.17 mtr long & 1 mtr tall.
Each of the two chariots is enclosed for protection from dust & visitors with an airtight glass-box.
Two large scale-models of bronze chariots came unearthed in December 1980 & opened on October 1983, about 20 mtr east of Emperor Qin Shihuang's mausoleum. They were tagged Chariot No. 1 & No. 2 respectively, this are the biggest items of bronze ware ever found in the world.
These were encased in the large wooden coffins for over 2000 years without any corrosion.
These two bronze chariots & horses are the masterpieces of bronze ware, represented high bronze-casting, mechanic & joining technology during the Qin Dynasty. The two chariots are made up of more than 7,000 pieces of spare parts that reappear knowledge of the ancient craftsmanship.
Both chariots are decorated with nearly 4,000 pieces of bullion, made the bronze chariots brilliant, glorious & honourable.
The chariots were supposed to serve as the vehicle for the emperor's inspection tours in his afterlife. They are decorated with geometric & cloud patterns.
However, the whole place is really impressive & should be visited if you get a chance.
