CHINA // When it's your time to go, go out in style is our motto. So hats off to Chinese emperor Qin Shi Huang, who constructed an army of terracotta warriors to accompany him into the afterlife. The discovery of the 8000-strong army of clay warriors was a happy accident; in 1974 farmers drilling a well uncovered an underground vault that eventually yielded the terracotta soldiers and hundreds of chariots and horses. The site is so famous that you probably know many of its most remarkable attributes - like how no two soldiers' faces are alike, or how the first emperor still lies buried nearby in an unexcavated tomb, surrounded by a scale model of his empire, complete with rivers of mercury. The visiting crowds can resemble the army itself.
