Xian - Tour Day 8

Today first up we went to the Shaanxi History Museum and saw the history of Xian and the terracotta warriors. From here we wine to the replication factory where we also had another amazing meal which included a Rou Jiar Mo. This is the local snack food, easy way to remember it is Roger Moore. It consists of pork and chili cook inside a pancake type burger.

After lunch we went to marveled at amazing archaeological wonders – the Terracotta Army of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, the Chariot Exhibition. This is one of the most amazing things you will ever see in your life and no,wonder they call it the eight wonder of the world, words cannot describe it and the photos do not do it justice. If you haven't seen it add it to you're bucket list. They were first discovered in 1974 when local farmers were drilling a well in search of water, some pottery fragments were discovered and the rest is history so to speak.
