The site

The terra cotta warriors are underground, but the government built buildings around the pits so tourists can come and look down on working archaeological sites, as well as see the soldiers where they were initially found, instead of in a museum. K and I had some interesting discussions on whether or not this creates ideal conditions for excavation, so I'll have to call Kelly to figure out the answer on that one. C commented on the difficulty of constructing a building without damaging the pottery in the ground below.
