Xi'an, easternmost point on the Silk Road, and site of the discovery of the terra cotta warriors. The emperor who created this place, a U.N. World Heritage site, apparently had a number of wives, about a thousand concubines, and several thousand sub-concubines...this boy was busy! Far from an eternal monument to himself, about a year after he died, the locals did their best to destroy it; what remains is absolutely a world treasure. Oddly, I don't have any pictures of the rather emphatic vendors at this place.
