The Terra Cotta Warriors











Today's weather started off quite sketchy, but cleared up by the end of the day. But as they say "There is no such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate dressing". This time we were ready with umbrellas and layers.

The Terra Cotta Warriors museum and complex was really a site to behold, with 3 excavated pits to see. This is definitely a must do - because you can't really show it with pictures. The pits are massive, and all the terra cotta warriors really are all different. Do you recognize the marionettes? These massive structures were used at the Beijing Opening Ceremonies of the Olympics.
