Museum of Chariot Pit of Kingdom Guo

The Museum of Chariot Pit of Kingdom Guo is a cultural resort with a rich historic heritage.
Museum of Chariot Pit of Kingdom Guo(Chinese:虢国车马博物馆;pinyin:guōguó chēmǎbówùguǎn), built in 1984, the museum, with an area of 1,200m², was built in the ancient architecture style. There are generally three exhibition series, namely, A Brief History of Guo Kingdom, the Art of Stone Inscription in History, and the Chariot-and-Horse Pit of Guo Kingdom and Chariot replicas. As the only large state cemetery between the East and West Zhou dynasties, the pit marks the beginning of burying an important figure with a real army and horses. The underground charioted army in the pit is well preserved, orderly arranged and fully ranked. It is the origin of the ritual of burying terra-cotta warriors and horses in the Qin Dynasty. There are enormous historical, scientific and artistic values in the pit.
