More than half a century has passed since the discovery of the terracotta warriors guarding the grave of China's first emperor Qin Shi Huang in Xi'an.
This as new technology employed at the landmark museum in the past few years provide visitors the experience to view the ceramic army in extra detail, and the opportunity to restore their very own terracotta warriors.
The eternal guards of the nation's first imperial leader have become some of the most iconic figures representing Chinese heritage.
Despite the solemnity of their role, the facial features of the clay soldiers come in all varities, from the brave and stern warrior to a wide grin.
Discovered by farmers in 1974 in Xi'an, the terracotta army were created to guard the tomb of Qin Shi Huang, China's first emperor and founder of the Qin dynasty.
With well over 8,000 artefacts unearthed from the site, the landmark now boasts an assortment of ceramic war chariots, horses and soldiers.
Tian Jing, the deputy chairperson of the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum Museum, stressed the landmark celebrates its openness, allowing visitors to watch archeologists restore the terracotta treasures to their original state.
To this day, the site remains a top attraction for foreign visitors.
I thought it was absolutely amazing.
It's wonderful to see them being restored.
I think it's a tremendous archeological site.
I think what China has done with it is terrific.
This as the museum introduced new technology in a bid to enhance the tourist experience in recent years.
Representatives from the museum noted they would scan the artefacts in order to grant visitors the chance to view them from a 360-degree perspective, which presents the terracotta warriors' hair and armour in much further detail.
The museum also hopes to give visitors an interactive experience, providing them with miniature soldiers for restoration work.
