Terra Cotta Army, Xian, China



Glab some time in the morning on 10th August 2007 (friday), can only visit one area. After finishing the breakfast with Henrietta, we rushed for an hours travel to see the Terra Cotta. The site actually is covered and being exposed partially. Only 2 of the pit is now open and the rest remain cover due to the structure of the Pit. I can say that that was so intelligence as being a Chinese, as i never saw any tomb or remaining historical site that penetrate this cover method with round beams in between 2 pillars to protect the army in between.Also, the braveness of the army which can be shown on the first 3 army that they dont wear any ammo, they are ready to flight with their naked body.

Before we left Xian, we are glad that we are invited to visit the site of the coming Kempiski resort which is located in the sub-urban district far from city 40mins by car.
No street light, no water facilities with over 500 worker worked on site to rush the soft opening in this October. The curtain wall is hanged, designed by Local Architect. Take a look!
