Terracotta Wariors

Before we went to see the Terracotta Warrior we visited a factory that reproduces Terracotta warriors and other fine arts








Statue of Emperor and his concubine


This is one site of Terracotta Warriors horses and chariots  all life size and each one with distinctive features. 8000 have been found and were made to protect the emperor in the after life. 2000 years old.












These horses are recreations  1/2 scale




As you drive around you see in all cities apartments with iron bars over their windows this is to stop thieves climbing up to rob the apartment. You even see it 10 stories up. Crime must have been or still is very bad. We were constantly warned about pickpockets and bag snatches.
To finish the day an 18 course dumpling dinner.
