Woke up and looked out of the window. Couldn't believe the pollution. (And certainly didn't believe Sandy's story about it being foggy today!)Visibility was no more than half a mile. Also couldn't believe that out the back of the hotel, right behind the tennis court, there was a Buddhist temple.
Massive city walls enclose the old city. Drive out to the site of the First Emperor's tomb, by way of the terracotta factory shop...
Pit 1, where the first warriors were found, is a huge hanger of a building.
The warriors are in formation, prepared for battle.
Each warrior's face is unique.
At the far end of pit 1, the partially reconstructed warriors.
Pit 3 is smaller, but the figures are even more detailed and well preseved with some pigment remaining.
The bell tower in the centre of Xian's shopping district.
The Drum Tower, in the Muslim Quarter.
Escaped the rest of the party's expedition to Pizza Hut or McDonalds and enjoyed a vegetarian hotpot (spicing up the cooking water to flavour the tofu as Weyun showed me).
