Where is the terracotta buried?

The Terracotta Army, a collection of thousands of life-sized clay soldiers, was discovered buried near the mausoleum of China's first emperor, Qin Shi Huang, in Xi'an, Shaanxi province. The army was constructed to accompany the emperor in the afterlife and is located approximately 1.5 kilometers (about a mile) from his burial site. Excavations began in 1974, revealing a vast underground complex filled with these intricately crafted figures.
