Xi An


Home to the Terra Cotta Warriors!

This was one of my favorite things throughout my whole vacation, I was just so fascinated with the whole thing.

There were three pits

Pit 3.
Every single statue in this pit was broken when enemies of the emperor destroyed the tomb.




This guy was the only guy in the tomb left together, in no need of repairing, they called him the 'lucky one.'


Pit 2.
This pit was the smallest... and frankly not very exciting but it was still cool.


Pit 1.
This pit is where all the money is going, this is where all the focus is. It felt like all the researchers put all the other pits on hold just to work on this one... and I don't blame them.




I may just take one home with me.
