On the morning of December 5, 2013, upon the invitation of the Lintong District Government, the international superstar, former California governor of USA, Arnold Schwarzenegger came to visit and enjoy the "the eighth wonder of the world" - the Qin Shihuang Museum of Terracotta Army.

The Itinerary of His Visit to the Museum

Cao Wei, the museum director, and Liu Sanmin, Lintong District Governor and other relevant leaders welcomed the superstar in the guest reception room and greeted and held a brief ceremony in the reception room with him. Dean Cao Wei introduced the relevant situation of the mausoleum of the first Qin emperor to Schwarzenegger, and presented a special gift - Terracotta Army to the action star. Lintong District "pomegranate Fairy" also offered him a local specialty - fire crystal persimmon and soft seed pomegranate. After tasting them, Schwarzenegger repeatedly praised them with a smile.

When he came to Terracotta Army VIP channel to the Pit One, he was struck by the Terracotta Army Grand Army, and was very surprised by the impressive sight, especially when he learned that Qin Shihuang ascended the throne at 13 years old, dealt state affairs at 22 years old, and completed the China unity at the age of 38. Learning the Terracotta Army has 2200 years of history, Schwarzenegger exclaimed, "oh my God". Subsequently, he and his entourage also passed their cameras to the VIP channel staff to help them to snap some pictures. In order to obtain the best camera angles, and his entourage even passed the mobile phone to have a better view of Terracotta Army, asking them to help shoot. Schwarzenegger was very pleased to say "this time to visit the Terracotta Army has really completed my dream visit to China!"

What He Felt about His Visit
During the visit, Schwarzenegger showed a keen interest in the army, and he carefully listened to the commentator Jin Kai and discussed with him, and compared with the real exhibitions. When he saw the kneeling figurines and the soles of the feet on Pit Two, he even lifted the feet of his entourage, looked at their bottom line, saying: "Wow, they are really like our shoes!" During the visit to the Pit Two, Schwarzenegger was quite mesmerized by the bronze chariots and horses displayed in exhibition hall of the Emperor Qinshihuang Mausoleum Museum. After the whole tour, he wrote: "thank you for letting me appreciate the eighth wonder of the world, I will be back".
