XI'AN, April 7 (Xinhua) -- More than 12,000 people visited the iconic Terracotta Warriors in northwest China's Shaanxi Province during the three-day Tomb-sweeping Day holiday.

A total of 12,251 visitors came to the Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum in Xi'an, the provincial capital, to catch a glimpse of the famous army of Terracotta Warriors during the holiday.

The museum reopened on March 25. It launched a real-name reservation system for visitors to prevent overcrowding. The museum would close should the number of visitors exceed 8,000 on a single day.

To enter the museum, visitors need to scan a barcode, have their temperature taken and wear a mask.

Discovered in 1974, the army is one of China's biggest tourist attractions, drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. It was built by Emperor Qinshihuang of the Qin Dynasty (221 B.C.-207 B.C.), who unified China for the first time. Enditem
