Can I Buy a Terracotta Warrior?

Evaluated as “the Eighth Wonder of Ancient World” and precious national treasure of China, each piece of the Terracotta Warriors is a priceless cultural relic, and of course, no one can buy a real Terracotta Warrior.

The duplicates can be found easily in main spots in Xian and price varies from size, quality and quantity. If you really like such item, it’s suggested to buy a good one to keep a long time.
