September 7, 2010 – Day 26
The agenda started with the view of the Terra Cotti Warriors which is very interesting. There are 4 dig sites; one with nothing found and the other 3 are amazing and in separate buildings. Also we watched a documentary in a theatre in the round and of course went through the gift shop. At all the tourist spots we go are streets vendors everywhere. It hard to believe that the warriors weren’t discovered until 1974 after being bury for approximately 2000 years. The emperor responsible died about 3 years before they stopped the unfinished project. The emperor also started the construction of the Great Wall. The emperor’s tomb is unopened elsewhere on the many acres property. Then another box lunch for our bus of 33 to fly from Xiam to Chongqing (about 1 hour flight).
