On Feb 5, a tourist violation occurred in the Terracotta Warriors scenic spot at the Qin Shi Huang’s mausoleum Museum in Xi ‘an, Shaanxi province. The video shows that a male tourist jumped over the fence and jumped into the burial pit area of the Terracotta warriors, causing citizens at the scene to cry, and a scenic staff quickly came forward to pull him out and take him away from the pit.
On February 6, the reporter learned from the Lintong Branch of Xi ‘an Public Security Bureau that the staff of the scenic spot alerted the police at the first time after the incident, and the police of the police station under the jurisdiction immediately rushed to the scene for disposal.
