The Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is hidden under the Lishan Mountain. It is the biggest underground grave in the world. The total area of the mausoleum is 56.25 hectares. The first Qin Emperor hoped that he could still enjoy a luxurious life after he passed away, so he built a splendid mausoleum that looked almost the same with the palace he lived in when he was alive for himself. The mausoleum is surrounded by two layers of walls. The total length of the outer wall is 6210 meters, and the inner wall, 3840 meters. The layout of mausoleum looks like a large “回”. The southern part of the mausoleum is the grave of the emperor, his body has lied there quietly for thousands of years. And the northern part of it is the extravagant bedroom and halls for recreation of the emperor. There are countless invaluable funeral objects in it. The mausoleum has not been excavated yet, because archaeologists are worried about the protection of it after excavation. The world famous Terracotta Warriors is only a small part of the mausoleum, and it has already been rated as one of the world wonders.
