The replicas of the life-sized, fired-clay statues that guard the tomb of China’s first emperor Qin Shi Huang are on display at a culture park in Anqing in Anhui province, Chinese media reported.
A guide told the Ifeng.com news website that it cost 120 yuan (US$17) to see the statues.
The real Terracotta Army was discovered by a farmer near Xian in Shaanxi province in 1974.
