A visit to Hanyang Mausoleum:
 
组图:汉阳陵博物馆的铜品The Hanyang Mausoleum, 20 kilometers north from Xian, capital of the province, is the joint tomb of the fourth emperor Liu Qi and his queen in Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-24 AD) and the most complete mausoleum from this dynasty ever discovered. Tens of thousands of, which feature colored terra-cotta nude figurines and a variety of animals have been unearthed in the area since the 1970s.  

Walking down the 10-meter-long tomb tunnel, you could think yourself in an ancient zoo: fishes swimming with their swaying pink tail fins, cocks craning their necks as if singing, hens pacing and dogs on the alert pricking their ears up.

The tomb was opened to tourists in Sept. 1999. However now it is to be filled in again to preserve the ancient collection. But above-mentioned relics unearthed from the mausoleum have been displayed in the exhibition hall. The museum has attracted many tourists since its opening.
