China - Day 19

I can't go into detail about what we did today, but I will give an over view. We arrived in Xian and around 6:30. We decided to go touring today, so we got a driver (long day with him, long story) and went to the Banpo site (some holes in the ground), a factory where replica Terra Cotta Soldiers are made (part of the driver story), LiShan mountian (Shan means mountain, so, it's like a mountain mountian), and we went to see the Terra Cotta Soldiers. It was a pretty full day. I'll have to write about it tomorrow, because it is 12:45, and I'm supposed to be in bed.

P.S. I updated 'China - Day 18' with what we did and some pictures.

Update: Here are some pictures, I'm trying to get my dad to write the actual post.

Unless you are there, it is really hard to get scale with these things. They really are life size though.

I've always been fascinated with these soldiers. It's on my list of places to see some day.
