One of the top items on our “Do To” list was see the Terra Cotta Warriors, but it just never happened. Our time was running out in China and we decided how could we go to China and not see the Terra Cotta Warriors? So late Friday night on November 30, all of us girls boarded a night train to Xi’an, saw the warriors, and took another train back Saturday night. Traveling over 18 hours just to spend a few hours looking at clay? Totally worth it—these figures were amazing!
Only seats were available on the way there so another sleepless night for me! Two funny pictures of the night: singing really loud before entering the train (aka being super embarrassing Americans) and Alysa kissing Whitney awake.
We hired a guy to drive us around all day and he first took us a place where they make copies of the figures and showed us around (and tried to get us to buy stuff from him).
Then we went and saw the Warriors! Here’s Pit 1:
