Soldiers at Ease

They’re cool, aren’t they? The Terra-cotta Warriors are a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the most significant arechelogical sites in the world. They’re certainly unique.

Terra-Cotta Tickets

The ticket price to see just the Terra-Cotta Warriors is 110 yuan. That’s about $16. I took a tour that got me Banpo Village, the Terra-Cotta Warriors and the burial site of the first Chinese Emperor for $260 yuan, including tickets, guide and transportation. That was about $38. I probably paid too much, but that’s what happens when I’m not trying to scrape every yuan off of the floor. It was a splurge, but how often will I ever get to see these sights in my life? I figure once.

Terra Cotta Who

Gee, that guy’s kinda cute to be a trained killer. Then again maybe those are the ones that have to be watched the closest. We stopped at an art shop so we tourists could buy, buy, buy and they had this cute terra-cotta statue without I head. I figured "Why let it go to waste?"
