I finally visited one of the most mind-blowing places in China — the Terracotta Army in Xi’an, an ancient army of over 8,000 life-sized warriors buried over 2,000 years ago to guard China’s first emperor in the afterlife. Seeing these warriors up close was one of the most surreal moments of my travels.

In this video, I take you inside the excavation site, share the fascinating history behind the Terracotta Warriors, and show you what it’s like to experience this world wonder in person.

If you’re planning to travel to China, Xi’an absolutely needs to be on your list!
