Xi'an

After our stay in Beijing, we headed to Xian which is located in central China.
Xian was a bit less busy than Beijing, but still very lively and populated. Xian has a beautiful city wall which is known to be one of the oldest and best preserved in China. The wall was built around 1370 and is about 25km long!
Xian is also well known because it is the ancient capital of China and has the Terracotta Army Museum located at about 40km from the city center.

Notre meilleur repas du voyage:)


The Terracotta Army: On our first day in Xi'an, we booked a tour to go see the Museum of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses. We first stopped at the Terracotta Warriors' Factory, where we were explained how they used yo make them. The soldiers are made of clay!

Then, we had a tour of the museum which is very big, There are 3 pits where the archeologists found the warriors and horses. The pits are representing the different regiments of an army. The archeologists have not finished their excavations, however they estimate that there should be about 8 000 warriors!

La fabrication des guerriers en argile

Un des trois sites ou les archeologues font des fouilles.



Les fouilles


Comme la plupart des guerriers et des chevaux sont brises, les archeologues doivent les reparer minutieusement.

Site #2
La position des guerriers est differente que dans le site #1.


C'est le dernier guerrier a avoir encore un peu de couleur.


The City Wall: We rented bikes and cycled all around the city wall. It was super fun!
