Chinese New Year is fast approaching, and whilst it might be the most celebrated festival of the year, China has a lot more to celebrate in 2020! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two of the most popular things to see on a China Holiday<\/a>, aside from the Great Wall of course, are the Terracotta Army and the Forbidden City, both of which are celebrating iconic milestones this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

220 new terracotta warriors have been discovered in the\nmausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, the First Emperor of China. This discovery has revealed\na variety of new additions to the current army, including a new rank of soldier,\nnew weapons and even a golden camel \u2013 which is believed to be the oldest of its\nkind! Twelve horses were also found, bringing the total number of terracotta army\nfigures found to over 8,000. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do I visit the Terracotta Army? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not all of the recovered statues are able to be seen,\nhowever the best place to see a majority of the figures is at the Museum of Qin,\nwhich is a 16,300 square-meter excavation site, revealing over 7,000 of the figures.\nHere you will see warriors, horses, chariots and even figures arranged in\nbattle formations! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To help preserve the figures, you are not able to touch them\nbut can walk around the site, overlooking the excavation pits and get a birds-eye\nview of the dig. Along with special figures \u2013 such as Chariots, displayed in glass\nvaults along the museum. There is even a shop, where you can purchase replicas\nof the warriors made from the same yellow earth! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can visit the Museum of Qin, in Xi\u2019an as part of many of our China Tours<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why do people visit the Terracotta Army? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As one of China\u2019s oldest treasures with over 1 million visitors a year, it\u2019s a must-do on any China visit, <\/strong>but what makes them iconic? The warriors date back to 221BC, when the results of the Second Punic war left Asia divided and at war, finally establishing the prosperous dynasty, The Qin. Resulting in China becoming the most powerful state in the world with a population of 20 million and an annual revenue of 2,000kg of silver. In gratitude for their great leader (the first Qin Emperor), the republic pulled together to create an army of warriors to protect him in the afterlife. The figures were carved all around his mausoleum, until the project was stopped in 208BC and buried underground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 29th<\/sup> March 1974 a group of farmers digging a\nwater well approximately 1.5km east of the Emperors mausoleum discovered the\nwarriors. From there a huge excavation project went underway to become the\nmarvel we know today. The warriors soon became a UNESCO world heritage site and\nbecame listed as the eighth wonder of the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What else can I see in China? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our top pick for something to see in China is the Forbidden City and Tienanmen Square in Beijing<\/strong>. This year China celebrates the 600th<\/sup> anniversary of the Forbidden City, which means that a visit here will be better than ever as grand exhibitions will pop up throughout the year celebrating topics such as Royal-Family-Life and court culture, Chinese customs and festivals and archaeological discoveries. The exhibitions will also break down the boundaries from past to present, and break down the boundaries of art, science and history with the use of modern digital technology. There will be interactive exhibitions, digital displays and lights dotted around the Forbidden City and Tienanmen square. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the Forbidden City? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The forbidden City is a complex full of imperial riches, full of palaces and the famous Palace Museum, just off of Tienanmen Square in Beijing. Constructed in the 15th<\/sup> & 16th<\/sup> century from stones mined and transported from a quarry, approximately 43 miles away, to ensure only the finest stone was used. In-fact, one of the biggest pieces (weighing 135 tonnes) was slid over the ice in 1557, on a sled, pulled by a team of men which took 28 days! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is the Forbidden City forbidden? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Up until the year 1420 the Forbidden City was forbidden to\ncommoners, meaning they could not enter without permission. Imperial families\nand invited high officials could enter. The city got its name from the English\nTranslation of the Palace\u2019s Imperial name Zijin Cheng. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do I visit the Forbidden City? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can enter the Forbidden City via Tienanmen Square which is visited on several of our China Tours<\/a><\/strong>. The cost of entrance and the guide is included in the cost of your tour and we allow you ample time to walk around and explore the city. As an added highlight, as part of one of our tours you\u2019ll enter the Forbidden City via the Gate of Supreme Harmony. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chinese New Year<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chinese New Year, or often referred to as Spring Festival or\n(Chunjie) is celebrated on Saturday 25th<\/sup> January and is an annual\nlunar celebration all over China. It marks the end of the coldest days and\nmarks a new year lunar cycle, welcoming Spring. The Chinese calendar is divided\ninto Lunar cycles of 60 years, and each cycle is then divided into 12 years.\nEach year is represented by an animal or Chinese Zodiac symbol.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How is Chinese New Year Celebrated?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chinese New Year is the longest public holiday in China,\nwhich can last anything from 7-12 days and most schools and colleges close for\naround 4 weeks as part of a Winter break. Chinese people from all over the world\nfly home to be with their families and celebrate with feasts, parties and by\nattending parades. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before the celebrations it is customary for people to\ncompletely clean their homes (much like our tradition of a \u2018Spring Clean\u2019 in\nthe UK), which is done to rid any bad fortune from the previous year and to\nwelcome good fortune of the new year arising. Homes are decorated with\nlanterns, vertical banners containing poetry (known as Couplets) and paper cuttings\nin pretty shapes \u2013 such as snowflakes. These decorations are traditionally red\nbecause it is believed that the colour brings happiness, prosperity and good\nwealth. The colour red can also ward off bad spirits and bad luck, so the more\nred decorations you hang \u2013 the better! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is believed that \u00bc of the countries in the world celebrate the Chinese New Year in one way or another, so look out for a celebration near you! This year, China celebrates the year of the Rat.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hope to welcome you to China<\/a> as part of the celebrations in 2020! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
