The Shaanxi province is home to one of China's most important archaeological sites: The Army of Terracotta Warriors. The 6,000 warriors and horses are surpisingly well preserved and were discovered in 1974 when a peasant was digging for a well. Close by is Hua Shan, one of China's most sacred mountains.
