Chinese Terracotta Warriors in Chile

Terracotta Warriors from the tomb of China's First Emperor, Qin Shihuang, marched thousands of kilometers to Chile, where they were put on display in a splendid exhibition which opened Friday.

Chile's President Michelle Bachelet inaugurated the exhibition," The Ancient China and the Terracotta Army," in the central hall of the Cultural Center La Moneda Palace in Chile's capital Santiago.

The exhibition, which will run for the next five months, includes 124 terracotta soldiers and horses. They are supposed to protect Qin Shihuang, who ruled from 221 B.C. to 210 B.C., in the afterlife.

"This is one part of the globalization we need to boost. It means dialogue of cultures, deep connection among the people and communication of dreams," Bachelet said during the inauguration ceremony.
