Terracotta Warriors Xian China

Once again Tim is in China for business but was able to take in a bit of sightseeing over the weekend. As they were in Xian, they went to see the famed Terracotta Warriors. They are coinsidered one of the most significant archeological excavations of the 20th century. Over 7,000 pottery soldiers, horses, chariots, and even weapons have been unearthed ~most of them have been restored to their former grandeur. Life size terracotta figures of warriors and horses arranged in battle formations are the main features of the site.


Next stop......back to Beijing.
