Terracotta Warriors - May 11,2010




Yesterday we went to visit the Terracotta warriors. We started at the factory where the Terracotta warrior souvenirs are made; these are of a higher quality than what the local farmers sell at the discovery site. We then went to see the actual Terracotta warrior discovery site. The pictures and video do not do justice to the actual magnitude of the site. We walked all of pit 1 which has the largest number of warriors. We also saw some archeologist digging and cleaning new pieces of the First Emperor's army. We, as a family, had a great day; lots of laughing which felt SO good. Shae is warming up to us more and more each day. This was a long day of walking and Shae walked almost the whole way. What a trooper. Once back at the hotel, we went to eat dinner and Shae started calling us "Ma Ma, Ba Ba, and Ge Ge," when we would go up to the buffet. We found out that she has a good set of lungs. :) Today is a free family day to rest and enjoy each other; what a treat compared to the non-stop running.
