Monday - Xian Antiquities Tour with Terracotta Army
Morning visit to Xingqing park, center of the city's lively activities, where we joined the residents in their morning exercise, singing and dancing. Afterward, stopped at a lacquer furniture shop to learn more about this ancient technique that is still used today. Lunch at a local restaurant. Then, visited the archaeological site of the magnificent Terracotta Warriors, a vast collection of life-sized soldiers, horses and chariots that were entombed with China's first emperor, Qin Shi Huang. This world-famous site, discovered by local farmers in 1974, is still being excavated today, more than thirty years since the time of its first unearthing
