How cool! I got to go see the terracotta soldiers and to stand on top of his mausoleum mound. It was cool. I’m telling you that whenever they finally get to open that tomb and then open it to the public, I hope I get to go see the inside for myself. That is going to be amazing.
On another Chinese note, you should check out the article I just wrote and posted on FR called “China and Change.”
I saw it too a couple of years ago. I wish at the time I was more aware of what I was seeing, our guide new English, but she was still difficult to understand.
Isn’t the tomb, or surrounding environs, supposed to have had a fabled silver lake (i.e., mercury)?
