Terra Cotta Warriors in Xi'an ...

On Tuesday, we were able to visit the excavation site of the Terra Cotta Warriors.  These are life size warriors that were made of clay about 2,200 years ago by the first emperor of the Qing dynasty.  Every face is unique.  About 6,000 warriors have been excavated and reconstructed (only one of the 6,000 was completely intact).


Here is Jonathan next to a replica of a terra cotta warrior and his terra cotta horse.

Here are a couple pix of the excavations with the reconstructed warriors.

Here is one of the seven "generals" excavated from the site.

After such a long day, Lydia fell asleep on our way back to the hotel.
