Today we visited the extraordinary army of terracotta warriors. This is one of the most famous archeological finds in the world, discovered accidentally when farmers drilled a well. There are thousands of life-size terracotta soldiers, archers, cavalry, horses, generals, and everything else an emperor might need in his afterlife. It is remarkable that no two soldiers are alike. This 2,000 old site gives an insight into ancient China’s life. As many warriors were there, tourists were just as many. In the evening, we took a high-speed train to Luoyang.
