We just got home from a China tour and visited this site.

Emperor's Ghost Army

The story of the terra-cotta army found in the mausoleum of the first emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang, including how and why the clay warriors were made. Also: the technology behind the statues' still-lethal crossbows, spears, and swords.

We did a Viking cruise-tour, 8 days on the Yangzte River and then two weeks on land. We also did a three day add on in Hong Kong.

It was my first ever cruise and guided tour. I've traveled a lot, but on my own. I have nothing but good things to say about Viking, contact me off line to chat more.
