Invaluable experience.
I visited Beijing and Xi’an. Everyone knows Beijing, but not everyone knows of Xi’an. Xi’an is worthwhile; it is where the vast legions of lifesize terra cotta warriors were unearthed in the 1970s. A farmer in the region pulled up heads of the warriors while building a well. The warriors were buried with an emperor so he could conquer the world in the afterlife.
Be sure to watch the movie in the visitor center – 360 degree screen. The screen and the movie are really old, and it’s amusing to see the film and the screen’s discontinuity.
