Terracotta warriors

by cinthya_in_victoria

I remember I visited a bookstore with my Chinese friend while I was living in Canada. We started to look at a China travel guide and I saw a picture of the warriors, I asked her if she had been there and she replied with surprise: "of course, and I'm sure one day you'll be there too". I smiled and thought "Sure, just in a dream". Four years later there I was... in front of hundreds and hundreds of real size terracotta warrios standing beyond my eyes could see. I wished my friend knew my dream came true!

They were accidentally discovered by three farmers on August 25, 1974 while trying to make a well. Terracotta Army was buried with the Qin Emperor to help him rule another empire in the afterlife. Their faces are unique since it's a copy of the real army of the Emperor. There are soldiers, horses, carriages and drivers. You gotta visit it, definitely!!

Well preserved area.

The gardens surrounding the Pagoda were immaculate. I got a bonus treat when I was there because there was a Buddhist ceremony taking place in one of the side gardens. They allowed me to quietly watch as they conducted their sacred ceremony.

The Drum Tower

by mke1963

Standing at the very centre of modern-day Xi'an, the Drum Tower is a reminder of the time when ordinary people relied on the government to tell them the time.
The Drum Tower is now surrounded by a very busy roundabout, and is accessed by underground tunnels from the subway.
It is a curious place now, a 5 minute tourist attraction for many, but also a place where Chinese teenagers come to watch the world go by...or round, in this case.
It was first built in 1384 during the reign of Hongwudi, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, and was originally opposite the Drum Tower. It was moved, brick by brick, 50 metres east to its present location in 1582 to create a focal point for the realigned city streets.
The old bell is now sitting in the tower, unused but charming. It weighs more than 5 tonnes, and is engraved with images.
The calligraphy, carvings and paintings on the columns, door frames and the doors themselves are particularly good, but are deteriorating in the poor city air.

Great Mosque - Prayer Hall

by Willettsworld

After passing through the Phoenix Pavilion and One God Pavilion, you'll come to the main building within the mosque complex, which is the Prayer Hall. The roof is covered with blue glazed roof tiles while its ceilings are carved with over 600 classical scriptures in which all the letters are shaped in the colourful decorative patterns of grass and flowers. Around the inside of the hall are carved all the pages of the Koran on 600 huge wooden boards, 30 of them in Chinese with the others in Arabic. The hall can hold up to 1,000 people although non-Muslims are not allowed to enter.
