With the help of drones and satellite navigation, this site was discovered in which work began in June 2018, resulting in the discovery of 16 ancient tombs with terracotta figures that were identified as warriors and servants.

Lin Yuhai, director of the Qingdao Municipal Institute of Cultural Heritage and Archeology, explained that the biggest challenge he now faces is the preservation of painting of figures, in which experts and archaeologists from all over the country will participate.

In short, a meeting point for everyone where they can share information and continue learning.
