Preparations for the Chinese New Year are underway with the main square in the capital lined with eighty terracotta Chinese warriors. The sculptures caused people passing by to reach for their mobile phones and snap the Terracotta Army in the Ban Josip Jelacic Square in the heart of Zagreb.

Of course the Zagreb warriors are inspired by the world famous Terracotta Army representing the armies of Qin Shi Huang.

Chinese New Year is celebrated throughout the world on the 3rd of February and with these warriors in the main square Zagreb is also ready for the celebrations.
