The Mausoleum of Emperor Qinshihuang is the biggest Imperial Mausoleum in ancient China and is located between a river in front and a mountain in back. In 1961, the State Council put the Mausoleum under state protection as a cultural relic. The tomb was built deep underground and had not only several palaces but also several burial places of the high Qin officials. It is said that the Emperor used a lot of money and man power to build this tomb. One distinctive characteristic of the tomb is that it had two city walls and was shaped like the character "ȯ." The grounds of the Mausoleum are also vast and there are performances at the Mausoleum every day.
