Xi'an - Day 5 of the Silk Road Tour

 Flew to Xi'an and visited the Magao Grottos.  This is the site of the 1000 Buddas.  We couldn't take pictures inside, but but one place there has the 2nd larges Budda, it's HUGE!  Seemed like it was 6 stories high or more.





 

Scott with a Tang Dynasty performer.


 The Terra Cotta Warriors are here in Xi'an.  We go see them tomorrow, very exciting!  These are replicas are at the Banquet place.


Went to a famous Dumpling Banquet.  It was nice.  Although, I think the dumplings we get at our cafeteria are better!




Here at the banquet they performed Tang Dynasty singing and dancing. 

















These are pictures of the Buddas from Scott's camera.  Can't get them to download in order.  Oh well.  It's too hard to move them.
