Day 6 Wednesday October 21 2015 Xi'an Terra Cotta warriors




Day 6 Wednesday Xi'an a full day. We visit 3 pits and are amazed to see the 6000 life size terra cotta warriors. A mausoleum for the first emperor Qin Shi Hang who unified China in 211 BC. Each warrior was different in facial expression. Some had their weapons by their side,Their horses and chariots were there too. Really amazing. ( all in organized rows). WE visit a museum on site showing close up of weapons and are shown how everything was made. Tonight we have a special dumpling banquet followed by Tang Dynasty music and dance show.
