The Mausoleum of the First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty (221 BC-206 BC), who successfully defeated all rival ducal states and unified China by establishing the first centralized feudal dynasty, is located at the northern foot of Lishan Hill in Lintong, Shaanxi Province. It is the largest mausoleum ever discovered in the world.

The tomb of Qin Shi Huang, first emperor of a united China. Guarded by the famous Terracotta Warriors near Xi’an, Shaanxi Province.
The description of it sounds pretty amazing. A hundred rivers made with mercury? Crossbows rigged to shoot anyone who tried to break in? Wow.

Ah, the Tomb of Emperor Qin Shi Huang!

Its one of the many pyramids near Xian. Many of them are northwest of the city, near Xiangyang, but this is just west of the Terracota Army museum…
I spent days watching pyramids in this area, but the hint led me directly to the right spot.
