Meeting the WArriors and Horses: Xi'an, China

I have been back from the tiring but educational Xi'an trip for several weeks now, but i recently got the time to post some pics during the trip.

 One of the towers in the old city wall.  This is one of the most ancient and well preserved wall in china

Another view of their City gate

The tower near our hotel.  Its spectacular at night, though during day time it lookes just like the other towers.

this was taken while we were in the tourist bus, going towards Xi'an proper at 6pm.  Its not fog, rather its smog.

A cultural show, the colors are spectacular, the dancers are amazing and exceptionally graceful.  It was a 120 min of pure visual treat

The restored terra cotta warriors and soldiers in pit 3.  Pit 3 the the latest site discovered.

This the the restores terra cotta warriors and horses in pit 1.  Pit was was discovered in 1974 by 5 farmers who were digging for a well.
