Guqifeng, Xinzhu and the Terracotta Army

Everyone’s heard of the world heritage listed Terracotta Army in Xi’an, China. Yesterday, while exploring the temple at Guqifeng just outside Xinzhu city, Taiwan, I came across a replica of the warriors. Although they weren’t life size, and there weren’t as many as at Xi’an, they were still very impressive. Here’s a few photo’s.

I’ll have some more images of other parts of the Guqifeng complex later this week, plus a more detailed write up about the site. It’s a very interesting place.

    Loved to read your blog. I would like to suggest you that traffic show most people read blogs on Mondays. So it should encourage bloggers to write new write ups over the weekend primarily.

    I'm not exactly sure but I think it was meant to be for protection in the afterlife.
