Pit 2, which is smaller than Pit 1, contains around 1,300 warriors and horses, and it is still being excavated. It is worth mentioning that the figurines of general, the soldier on the horse, and the kneeling soldier were the first to be discovered in this pit.

The Warriors: Amazingly beautiful - I went to the Terracotta Warriors and the trip was amazing, the site and the 3 pits are so awesome you could stay there hours to gaze at them. Phoebe our guide was excellent, so nice and so prepared on the history and so in love with her job you could tell from the way she introduced every single details. I loved it! I would recommend it but Ask for Phoebe!!! She is the best with a great English!! Well done Not to be missed. Lunch was typical and good Just the price probably a little too much
