Xi'an - home of the Terracotta Warriors
Above shows how the Terracotta Warriors were created. The dragons are a specialty of this factory. They are meant to bring luck and good fortune. To the left is me at the Terracotta Warriors, commonly known as the 8th Wonder of the World. It was found in the 1970s and resides in 4 separate buildings with excavations still occurring. It is believed over 4000 of these warriors were created to protect the grave of the Emperor. |
