Exploring Xian, China, Beyond the TerraCotta Warriors
Traveled to Xi'an city of Shaanxi Province.
Places i Visited are:
-The Terracotta Army is a collection of terracotta sculptures depicting the armies of Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China. It is a form of funerary art buried with the emperor in 210–209 BCE and whose purpose was to protect the emperor in his afterlife.
-The Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is located in Lintong District, Xi'an, Shaanxi province of China. This mausoleum was constructed over 38 years, from 246 to 208 BC, and is situated underneath a 76-meter-tall tomb mound shaped like a truncated pyramid. The layout of the mausoleum is modeled on the Qin capital Xianyang, divided into inner and outer cities. The circumference of the inner city is 2.5 km and the outer is 6.3 km. The tomb is located in the southwest of the inner city and faces east. The main tomb chamber housing the coffin and burial artifacts is the core of the architectural complex of the mausoleum.
-Giant Wild Goose Pagoda or Big Wild Goose Pagoda, is a Buddhist pagoda located in southern Xi'an, Shaanxi province, China. It was built in 652 during the Tang dynasty.
One of the pagoda's many functions was to hold sutras and figurines of the Buddha that were brought to China from India by the Buddhist translator and traveler Xuanzang.

Terra Cotta Warriors-Xi'an China (Private Tour + Historical Facts)
I received a private tour of one of the greatest archeological finds in world history. In 1974, farmers were searching for water in Xi'an, China when they found clay fragments and ancient weapons. Extensive digging by the Chinese government revealed the fragments of 8,000 clay figures built over 2,000 years ago. They were a terra-cotta army that was built to protect the first Chinese emperor in the afterlife. Each warrior, which stands 6 feet tall and weighs 600 pounds, had to be restored and reconstructed individually, which could take several months. No two faces are alike.

China Tour: Terracotta Warriors - Xi'An China - Pit #1 Walkabout and Talkabout
Highlights from excavation Pit #1. This was certainly the highlight of my trip. Selfie cam does not do any justice to the actual experience of being there, sizing it all up. What a haunting yer beautiful experience. Nothing else like it. That feeling of being so close to so much history.
Pit #1 housed the main army. The Commanders and auxiliary are in PIt #2 and #3, many still waiting to be unearthed.
Xi'an Insiders private vintage jeep and sidecar tour - China
Xi'an is at the end point of the mythical Silk Road and one of the four great ancient capitals of China, this past gives to the area a huge historical heritage you should really dig into!
Together we will explore old temples, vestiges of the Silk Road, and meet with locals still living like they did a hundred years ago in an incredibly well preserved and rich countryside. This video was shot on one of our tours in the summer of 2013.
The Terracotta Army, Xian
Famous tourist attraction close to Xian city in China. It is easy to go and see them if you are in Xian city.
In the video, I am visiting 3 pits. First one is very large hall. Only front part is excavated and on the back side work still continues. It is ongoing process. Figures are actually crushed by the time and weight of sand. So, archeologists have to restore figures from broken pieces. Some figures seem to have parts missing, which could not be found.
At the end, I filmed bronze statues. These are better preserved and have very realistic, full details. One can even distinguish emotions on the face.

Visit Chi Lin Nunnery Hong Kong
One of the most beautiful and arrestingly built environments in Hong Kong, this large Buddhist complex, originally dating from the 1930s, was rebuilt completely of wood (and not a single nail) in the style of the Tang dynasty in 1998
To reach the nunnery, take exit C2 of Diamond Hill MTR station, walk through the Hollywood Plaza shopping centre and turn east on to Fung Tak Rd. The nunnery is a five-minute walk away.

Silk Road Tour 4 - Xi'an - Abigail Washburn & The Village
After Hohhot and Yinchuan, China's ancient capital of Xi'an 西安 felt like a cosmopolitan metropolis. The ancient city wall, shadow puppets and terra cotta warriors seemed out of a movie set. There was also a good gig at the Xi'an conservatory of music where Abby sang old favorite Kangding Qingge with some beautiful student musicians. After that gig we had the most incredible dumpling feast any of us could imagine, basket after basket.
Xi'an was the site of the ancient capital of Chang An 长安, everlasting peace. In the Tang dynasty (618—907) it was the eastern terminus of the Silk Road, as art, goods and religion flowed across the Silk Road. Chang An housed Arab, Turkish, Persian, Jewish and Christian traders, and Central Asian musical instruments were played in the imperial court.
The current city walls date from the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and one day at sunset the Village decided to have a little jam on the wall as locals and tourists enjoyed the show.
The first night in town we stumbled into a shadow puppet theater on the old Muslim street that runs down from the old Drum Tower 鼓楼. Xi'an and it's surrounding province of Shaanxi have traditionally had strong traditions of shadow puppetry, though like many folk traditions, it has weakened in the wake of the cultural revolution and modernization. But the old puppeteer at this tiny theater had us cracking up with a tale of forbidden love.
