China - Day 8

China Day 8 –
Today we went and visited the Terracotta Warriors, in western Xi’an. The warriors we by far a major highlight of the trip! We took an hour drive west, into the mountains where the warriors were discovered. The story behind the warrior is very interesting, from their creation, destruction, and resurrection. We saw all 3 pits where the warriors were discovered and currently on display. Seeing them will leave you speechless. The detail of each warrior is unbelievable; there are no two warriors that are alike. It was hard to believe that they were once buried underneath the earth on a farmer’s field. I actually got meet the farmer that discovered the warriors, we bought his book, and he also signed it for me. We toured the site for 5 hours and still couldn’t get enough. It was again one of the coolest things I have ever seen with my own eyes.
Tomorrow we head to our final stop, Hong Kong. It should be a great time!
