The Qin Terra Cotta Warriors are some of the oldest ever found in China and the biggest. They range from 1.78 meters to almost 2 meters in height. The warriors were all made by hand and the bodies were made separately from the rest of the soldiers and all the pieces then joined together.

The wall was built in the 14th century at the request of Emperor Zhuyuanzhang. The city wall is tall, long and thick and the two main entrances are the North and South Gate.
