Terra Cotta Warriors

 

What can I say about these that you don’t already know from National Geographic?

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is Ningping’s family.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the farmer who discovered the Terra Cotta Warriors in 1978 (or so they said!). For 180 yuan (about 22 USD) you could get him to sign a book and take a picture with him.

 

 

This is at the actual tomb site of Qin (the guy who first unified China and buried the Warriors)

 

 

More big incense sticks

 

 

Interesting hedge shapes, in Chinese characters.

 

 

At the tomb site we happened upon a performance of some kind.

 

 

 

I guess this is the emperor arriving.

 

 

Lots of nice flowers.
