This film depicts a journey along the Silk Road, where a newlywed couple experiences a bittersweet separation to earn a living. The husband departs for the Western Regions on a business trip. En route, he encounters a volcanic eruption, an avalanche, yellow dust, a desert, and even a wolf attack, narrowly surviving and returning home.

FAQ
The Terracotta Army was built for Emperor Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of a unified China during the Qin Dynasty, over 2,200 years ago. Its primary purpose was to protect him in the afterlife and ensure his continued rule. This remarkable collection of clay soldiers, chariots, and horses was accidentally discovered by local farmers near Xi'an in 1974, revealing its immense scale and historical significance.
The Terracotta Army soldiers are not based on real humans who were buried alive; they are unique clay sculptures. Each figure was crafted with distinct features, believed to be modeled after real soldiers from Qin Shi Huang's army, but they are not direct replicas of specific individuals. The ancient practice of burying living people as part of a funerary ritual was substituted with these elaborate terracotta figures, showcasing a significant cultural shift in imperial burial customs.
Yes, the Terracotta Army site remains an active archaeological excavation and preservation project. Only a portion of the vast necropolis has been uncovered, with work continuously ongoing in the primary pits (like Pit 1, 2, and 3) and surrounding areas. Researchers face significant challenges, particularly in preserving the delicate painted surfaces of the figures and understanding ancient construction techniques. New discoveries are still being made as excavation progresses.
The Terracotta Army was discovered purely by accident in March 1974 by a group of local farmers in Lintong District, Xi'an, while they were digging a well. After initial skepticism, the find was recognized by authorities as an unparalleled archaeological treasure. The farmers who made this monumental discovery gained significant recognition, with some becoming local celebrities and frequently sharing their story. Their lives were transformed by this extraordinary event, bringing them both fame and improved circumstances.
The Terracotta Army Museum is located approximately 40 kilometers east of Xi'an city center. The most common public transportation method is taking a tourist bus, such as Tourist Bus 5 (also known as 306), from Xi'an Railway Station. Alternatively, visitors can hire a taxi or use ride-sharing services for a more direct route. Many organized tours also offer convenient round-trip transportation from the city center, often combined with expert commentary, providing a hassle-free way to reach the site.
Tickets for the Terracotta Army Museum can be purchased online in advance through various platforms or directly at the museum entrance. Booking online can offer benefits like ensuring availability, especially during peak seasons, saving time by avoiding queues upon arrival, and providing a streamlined entry process. Admission typically covers entry to the main exhibition pits, the museum, and the bronze chariots exhibition hall. Visitors should remember to bring their passports for entry verification and check official operating hours and any specific entry requirements before their visit.
Huaqing Pond is historically significant as a favored imperial retreat, especially renowned for its natural hot springs. It gained fame as the romantic rendezvous spot for Emperor Xuanzong and his beloved concubine Yang Guifei during the Tang Dynasty, embodying a rich history of imperial leisure and love. The site is also known for being the location of the pivotal Xi'an Incident in 1936. Visitors today can explore the beautifully restored imperial bathhouses, stroll through picturesque gardens, and see the historical buildings, offering a direct glimpse into ancient Chinese imperial life and pivotal historical events.
