China: Dec. 27

On December 27, we took a tour to the Terracotta Warriors. First, we visited the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. I wanted to go inside, but unfortunately, this wasn't included in our tour.

After this, we went to a museum where an old town had been unearthed by archaeologists. This was interesting. They had also uncovered lots of burial spots. Then, we were taken to another state-run jade shop. After this, we were taken to a state-run factory where terracotta warriors were made for souvenirs. I was really excited to see the terracotta warriors because I saw the exhibition when it came to the British Museum.

This is the man who accidently discovered the terracotta warriors when he was digging a well. Now, he just chills, signs books, and takes pictures with people.
