About 60 square kilometers!
The Emperor Qin Shi Huang is one of the most odious figures in the history of ancient China. A bright example of his power is the Qin Shi Huang’s tomb - the most fabulous mausoleum complex in the world.

The burial complex area of about 60 square kilometers is an entire underground city, dug to a depth of 70 to 120 meters below the aquifers. With area of 350x345 meters almost square in shape, it is oriented to the cardinal points. The center of the underground city is occupied by the emperor’s mausoleum with over 500 tombs of his courtiers and servants around it.

It took some 38 years (246-208 BCE) to create this edifice in the Lintong District, Xi'an, Shaanxi province of China.
