(FENG GUO)

Visitors look at statues of civil officials at the Mausoleum of Emperor Qin Shihuang (259-210 B.C.) in Xi'an, northwest China's Shaanxi Province, on September 30.

Two new museums for terracotta warrior statues discovered in the mausoleum have been completed and opened to the public. Two sorts of unarmored terracotta warriors, acrobatics performers and civil officials, which were excavated from the burial pits coded K9901 and K0006, respectively, in 2000, are displayed for the first time.

Qin Shihuang is known as the first emperor of China. His mausoleum, discovered with more than 7,000 life-sized terracotta statues in 1974, was later declared national as well as world heritage sites.
