Description
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as China opened its doors, archaeologists introduced new field methods that led to important discoveries and the establishment of scientific research bodies. Now, the splendours of ancient China can be revealed: from the famous terracotta army to the lavish tomb of the Marquis of Dai from the Han dynasty.
