BEIJING, Sept. 19 (Xinhua) -- Discovered in 1974, the Terracotta Warriors army was built by Emperor Qinshihuang of the Qin Dynasty (221 B.C.-207 B.C.), who unified China for the first time. The site was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1987.

So far, thousands of life-size clay warriors and numerous weapons have been unearthed from three pits surrounding Qinshihuang's tomb, providing insights into the politics, economics, military power, art and social life of the Qin Dynasty.

In this chapter of our comics, let's join Haihai and Meimei as they visit Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum in northwest China's Shaanxi Province to discover the wonder of the Terracotta Warriors, known as the "Eighth Wonder of the World."
