The Exhibition Hall displays exquisite artifacts including bronze chariots, weapons, and high-ranking officer figures.

Wander the sacred grounds surrounding Emperor Qin's unexcavated tomb mound. Discover the Acrobats Pit (K9901) with its unique performer figurines, and the Civil Officials Pit (K0006) revealing ancient bureaucracy.
