Terracotta Factory



Hui Chin and I spent a few very memorable days in Xi'an.

We've visited most of the attractionsin and around Xi'an, some of them by conducted tours some of them individually.

Terracotta Army Museum complex and Imperial City or Huaqing Palace or Daming Palace or the Huaqing Hot Springs and a few other places we visited with guided tours and while it is a reasonable value for money spent a lot of our time was wasted visiting commercial places like the Terracotta Factory, where we expected to spend some money, so the tour organisers or the bus driver or guide will get some kind of "kick-back", commission or something.

During our trips we encountered very many such tours and visiting these commercial places like jewelery factories etc., but only one person, a very likeable Tuk-Tuk driver in Bangkok asked us if we mind to stop at a such of place, where he gets some petrol coupons for his Tuk-Tuk, regardless whether we buy anything or not and we can have a bit of a rest in a air-conditioned place and some free refreshments.
These things are usually available at most places and there are no real pressure on us to purchase anything.
I 'mean - real pressure', because you will be 'talked to' and 'shown' some merchandise and 'tempted' by huge price 'reductions' 'just for you', but no real pressure is used on you to succumb.

This places usually have some educational value as well, as someone usually dwells into some explanations about the manufacture of some item and some other things too. Like the different kind of jades etc. for example.

This Terracotta factory was sone such place on this tour and shown us how the Terracotta Army was made.

This place was selling a very large variety of Chinese furniture, hand vowen rugs, paitings and many other things, such as souveniers.
