Terra-cotta Factory

By April 14, 2010 Travel No Comments

We went to the Terra Cotta factory since this is the place that is recommended to buy all your souvenirs as it is owned by the government.   You will be assured you are not being over charged.  And even after their price, you can still bargain depending on what you are getting.  You can even buy life size warriors and they will have it delivered to you wherever you are in the world.

 The soldiers are actually bigger than life size!

When they make the soldiers, they are hollow inside and then they put the head after.  And  they can make the head look like anyone!  So if you want, they can make your head/face 🙂 I think it takes 3 months.
