HanYangLing Mausoleum

XISU took the foreign teachers to this burial site. It is where the 4th Qin Dynasty emporer and with wife are burried.
We went there the 15th of December, 2012
Again, they donot load in proper order.

 The wife's tomb
 The emporer's tomb. Neither tomb has been opened only the sites around the wife's tomb.
 They were trying to tell us you have to work here to get in the digs.

 Model of the wife's tomb. the small lines around it is the digs we are observing.




 These are not life size like terra cotta warriors of the 1st emporer. They are about a meter tall.
 models of the carriages of the empress.
