Back at the central bus station to head for Terra Cotta Warriors, I noticed there is strength in number. As a pair people really didn’t approach us much. It was nice to not have to go on alert defensive mode. This parking lot was full of public buses and private owned buses. If you didn’t know which one to get one, you’d probably easily get onto the wrong ones. The public ones are licensed, follow rules, and are often safe drivers.
Corey and I followed tour groups around to hear the different stories. The excavation sight was full of tour groups of various languages. Tour guides, they are not to be easily passed as simple people in my opinion. They educate, they have a captive audience, and they are in total control of their tourists.
The artifacts when unearthed, still retains its original colors. The colors were bright and beautiful. As soon as it mixed with oxygen it looses its colors just within the short first 20 minutes of contact with oxygen. Currently people have yet to find a way to preserve the colors. Qin dynasty seem liked a long time ago. It is amazing to see how advanced it was in creativity, fashion, civilization. The details on the warriors were beautiful.
