Today was a big day. I started the day with a slight disaster - my standard camera lens is broken and needs to be repaired. I'm not sure when I will be able to get this done, so in the meantime, every photo is taken with a zoom lens. Thank goodness I have a spare!!!
After the trauma of trying to get my camera to work, we headed to one of the main attractions, the Terracotta Warriors. At first it was slightly underwhelming, with a museum and a small pit with some broken ceramics, but when we got to the main pit, I was completely blown away.
It was incredible just how many of the warriors there were, and the sheer attention to detail on them all. It was truly amazing.
After the Warriors and some food, we headed back to the accommodation then went out to see the drum and bell towers by night, and to get some street food. It was beautiful and delicious.
Every night, there is also a light and water fountain display at the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, so we got a rickshaw there, and watched it for the full half hour display. It was surprisingly beautiful, and the music was almost inspiring.
Tomorrow, a sleep in xx
