Today we took on the challenge of navigating the Chinese bus system to travel to see the Terracotta Warriors. This was no mean feat - I honestly don't think I've ever been anywhere as chaotic, crowded, and frustrating as a Chinese bus station!! Eventually, after having searched several locations for the bus, evaded a multitude of hawkers selling various bogus trips we found the bus and had a very uneventful journey.
The Terracotta Warrior museum was certainly well worth the hassle getting there. The three pits were very impressive - lots of warriors , each with different facial features. The level of detail and craftsmanship was amazing. It took your breath away. I can't help but wonder what the well diggers who discovered them thought - although they would not have been aware of the extent of their find, archeologists are still excavating the site. We spent the afternoon wandering around the site and museum.
