Xian and the Terracotta Warriors

After having visited mostly natural sights we flew further north to the town of Xi’an. It’s the former capital of china and nowadays a “normal” 8-million city. The towns city wall is still in tact and quiet impressive. So is the town itself. It’s modern and offers all kinds of shopping possibilities.  After the busy days in Guilin, Yangshuo and Longsheng we took it easy and strolled around the city the first day. Then we headed off to the famous Terracotta Warriors. The chinese call it the eight wonder of the world, it’s mentioned everywhere like this. Adriana told me about the place before, so I was a little prepared. Even though I’m not that much into archeology I have to admit, this is really impressive..

Here some pics from the warriors and also from Xi’an:
