Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum sets new annual reception record

The Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum in Xi'an welcomed its 10 millionth visitor of the year on Oct 23, marking the most visitors it has ever received in a single year.

According to data, the museum has received nearly 150 million domestic and overseas visits since its opening.

Since 2020, the museum has taken multiple measures to meet the public's demand for cultural tourism and teach people about cultural relics.

The museum's archaeological excavations and research have made a slew of achievements in recent years. The archaeological excavation project of the mausoleum's No 1 tomb has contributed to the archaeological study of high-level noble tombs from the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC).

In addition, the museum boasts fascinating permanent and temporary exhibitions. The Bronze Chariots Museum was officially opened on May 18, 2021, and the exhibition "the Crown of Bronze Works, Bronze Chariots of Emperor Qinshihuang" won the Top 10 Exhibition Excellence Awards of National Museums in 2022.

The online exhibition "Parallel Space: Meeting the Terracotta Warriors in Greece," co-developed by the museum and the National Archaeological Museum of Greece, was selected as an excellent project for the promotion of Chinese cultural relics through new media in 2022.

In addition, the museum's participation in cultural heritage and archaeological variety shows and a series of livestreaming activities have triggered a wave of attention and enthusiasm for the Terracotta Warriors and Qin culture.

Meanwhile, through big data analysis, the museum has achieved the precise management of ticket reservations, which has greatly improved visitor comfort and satisfaction while relieving pressure on holidays for the museum and its surroundings.
