China's first underwater terra-cotta warriors and horses museum was
completed on May 16. It is located in the deep pool in the west of the
Han Dynasty (206BC-220AD) culture scenic spot and is an important part of
Xuzhou City's Han Dynasty Terra-cotta Warriors and Horses Museum. It will
present the panorama of the Han Dynasty terra-cotta warriors and horses
pit to the world. In 2005, the Xuzhou Municipal Government decided to
build an underwater museum on the site of two cavalry pits. The
underwater museum is composed of two cup-shaped buildings in the east and
west. The west exhibition hall displays the original appearance of the
Pit No. 5 while the east hall showcases the battle array of the Han
Dynasty cavalry as well as China's ancient cavalry corps.
