Good choice. I have a miniature copy of some of them. If one is ever so lucky as to go to Xian they must see this, it is one of the great wonders of the world.

It is incredible that they can stand so long in time underground and only discovered last century!
Apparently there are still many yet to be uncovered. The authorities wanted to wait for the technology to make sure they would be properly preserved. It was awesome going into that hug building and looking down on those Terracotta men and horses.

I always found Xian as either too cold or too hot to go, therefore have not visited the site yet.
Michael you have to see it. We were there in October one year and the weather was perfect.
Leslie
Thanks for the info.
It’s definitely a must see. I think I’ll make a whole song about it.
Leslie
Agreed; good 🙂
A great picture even though the warriors are behind glass!
Unfortunately, I don”t have photos which are not behind the glass!
I don’t either. But that was an amazing museum there. In fact, I still can picture all those warriors in all those buildings — my visit made a definite impression on me!
Must be an eye opening experience!
🙂 Dear Michael,
I’ve been to see the Terracotty Army 20 years ago at Qin Shihuangdis and it was one of the most fascinating things I have ever seen!
Happy New Year to you 🙂
We viewed a seleciton of the Tarracotta statues at the National Geographic gallery in Washington D.C. several years ago. Most were not behind glass, which eliminated the glare. I canot recall whether they allowed photography, though I have a vague memory of taking a few shots of our group (that was a computer ago, thus any images would be archived in a photo album. I would love to see the excavations where the soldiers were lined up by the hundreds.

To see the terracotta army is a fascinating experience; I am glad that you have seen it such a long time ago!
Those must be ‘super-resilient’ Michael!
Yeah, they have survived so many centuries!

Yes, personally viewing the hundreds of soldiers will be great!
I would love to see these warriors one day.
Wish you would see them soon.
I hope so.
