Xi'An, China

We went to distant Xi'An, the Ancient Capital of the Middle Kingdom, this past weekend. Home to the famous Terracotta Warriors, Xi'an was a delightful city. We saw the drum and bell towers, the Ming city wall, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and it's "Bellagio" style fountain, the neolithic BanPo site and, of course, the Warriors.

The Peony, national flower of China:

Evil Will. I wanted a photo of him and a Warrior, but people kept getting in the way. Red Eye makes him look Nasty!Quinn, showing off what 10Y will buy you. Both the purple sparkle sunglasses and the mini warriors were both 10Y.
Chip and Quinn in the fountain.Will wasn't very happy about the drama of the fountain.
