World Travel 2013-2014, Cracking Terracotta Warriors
Today was the day that we would visit the Terracotta Warriors. Our tour group spent about two hours or so from memory in the museum area which houses the Terracotta Warriors. The First Pit is by far the biggest and most impressive. It’s quite a sight when you first step in and see them all laid out in rows in front of you.
There are also another two pits which are a lot smaller. One is still in the process of being excavated, but the other has had all excavations completed and is a bit different shape with all of the warriors arranged in a cross facing each other.
After the museum we had a brief stop at a market place which was fun, as we managed to find some great presents for our family. Always a good thing!
