Graham taking a picture of his Christmas present from Yangshuo

On the way out of town we stop at Silver Cave. There are many around here.

On the road from Yangshuo to Guilin to catch our flight to Xi'an!

A last look at the beautiful mountains of this region

The exit for Xanadu. Kubla Khan had his main palace there. Maybe next time...!

We are finally at the hotel. Complete with a Christmas tree.

On the road to see the Terracotta Warriors

This is John, our tour guide

Amazing detail. Each one was made in the likeness of the individual soldiers of Qin Shi Huangdi's army

This is what they looked like to start with

You can see here how thick the terracotta is

This is the wall around the city of Xi'an. It is only about 600 years old.

Uncle Mark is freezing!

Maybe opening this big door will warm him up

Almost every brick is inscribed with something. I think the symbol on the right is for 'King'

This girl was modeling something during a photo shoot. She had to be COLD!

Out into Xi'an to find some food

Anisa in action ordering a bunch of food.

Back at the hotel...
