Second stop on the tour, a factory that churns out lots of little Terra Cotta figurines. No heat in there.

They seemed used to tours coming through, but we were the only ones there.
|
Yes, everything here is for sale too!
|
She was hand painting furniture, beautifully so. Labor is very cheap here.
|
Lots of little figurines. The smallest ones went for 50 yuan ($8). Something told me we could find them cheaper elsewhere.
|
Fooled you. More little figurines.
|
They come in all shapes and sizes. Not a great range of colors, however.
|
The original warriors were apparently made close to 1 1/2 times actual size of the individual warrior each was sculpted to resemble.
|
This guy wouldn't flinch. Kinda like the Beefeaters at Buckingham.
|
Cooling towers in the distance? Outside the figurine factory.
|
A good lunch at a restaurant all the tour guides seem to take their groups. I think they get kickbacks.
|
Our guide and the minibus we rode in on.
