china part four
Terracotta army
Huge and the surface only just scratched. If you do one in your lifetime come and see this!!! Words cannot describe it so I won't even try. Mega pictures taken.
Off to lunch!
Buffet style. Had a sensible amount to eat for once.
Wild goose pagoda was the next stop. This a buddist temple and quite an important one too. Learnt that this was where tripitaka (he of monkey) fame returned with the buddist scriptures and translated them into chinese for the first time. Not many pics as its a holy place. This buddism thing seems to have some good things going on.
Next stop was the city wall.hell of a wall. 13km long. Takes an hour to bike round. Next up was a silk factory tour. A rug takes a year and a half!
Next off shopping. Technology is not as cheap as you would think.
Back to the hotel and then off for dim sum dinner.
