Ni- Hao! We're back from our amazing trip to China! After flying over 20 hours across the ocean, we started the trip in Beijing, seeing some of the most famous sights of China. A few days later we flew to the "small town" of Xian (only 8 million people) to see the Terracotta Warriors. Next we headed to Shenzen to stay with Kevin's parents. Here are some photos from the first half of our trip. There were way too many for one post!
The Great Wall!
The Forbidden City in Beijing
(The palaces where Mulan hugs the Emperor after they defeat the Huns and the fireworks go off)
The Temple of Heaven
In the Forbidden City we found a small room of Chinese people making movies, with you as the star! And for the great price of only 54 Renminbi (about $9 USD). The opportunity was too funny to pass up!
Xian
The Terracotta Warriors! These are thousands of clay soldiers an Emperor made as army to accompany him into the afterlife. They were dug up by some farmers. It was incredible!
We also couldn't resist this photo opportunity. Aren't we fierce warriors?
When we got Shenzen, we went to the zoo with Paul and some of his friends. This was no ordinary zoo... we rode elephants, fed tigers, held pythons and saw some of the craziest shows. They even had mini bears riding razors scooters!
