The Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum, which houses the world-renowned iconic Terracotta Warriors in Xi'an, capital of northwest China's Shaanxi Province, welcomed its 10 millionth visitor in 2023 on Monday, hitting a record high, local authorities said, according to Xinhua.

Nearly 150 million visits, from both home and abroad, have been recorded at the museum since it opened in 1979, the Chinese news agency added.

In recent years, museum visits have become a must-do activity for tourists in China. As one of the most popular destinations in Shaanxi, the Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum has experienced a consistently high number of visitors since this summer.

To meet the increasing demand, the museum has worked to improve its ticket purchasing system. This includes implementing online booking and the utilizing big data to encourage visitors to choose alternate visiting times.

Discovered in 1974, the army of Terracotta Warriors was built by Emperor Qinshihuang of the Qin Dynasty (221 B.C.-207 B.C.), who unified China for the first time.
