Terracotta Warriors

The Terracotta Warriors are located about an hour from Xi'An in Shaanxi Province.  This is a huge archilogical site and extrodiarily fascinating.  The musuem consists of several large buildings that cover the excavation sites.  Apparently, they date back to around 210 BC when the first emperor of China had them constructed to protect him in the afterlife. This is a truly interesting site and the musuem is done very well.
