Eastern Zhou Royal Horse & Chariot Pits

A huge statue of six rearing horses marks this two-hall underground museum, where the principal draw is the in-situ remains of a Zhou emperor’s royal horses – that were buried alive when the emperor passed on.

The ¥10 audio guide helps with a much-needed explanation of the unearthed remains.
