Scene Spots |
| The
Terracotta Warriors |
|
|
|
| The Terracotta Warriors
represent only a small portion of the eight thousand
strong underground army buried in front of the Emperor
Qinshihuang's tomb (r. 221-207 BC) to defend him in the
afterlife. The craftsmanship attested by each of the
statues is as stupendous as the scale of the project.
So who was the Emperor Qinshihuang to merit such magnificence. |
|
| Big
Wild Goose Pagoda |
|
|
|
| The pagoda is located
in the southern part of present day Xi'an, in what used
to be Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty. Actually, the
formal name of the pagoda is Ci'en Temple Pagoda, but
since the temple disappeared a long time ago, the pagoda
is known by its other name. Big Wild Goose Pagoda was
first built in 652 in the Tang Dynasty. Xuanzang, a prominent
Buddhist scholar of the time, planned to have a huge
stone pagoda built to house the Sanskrit Buddhist scriptures
he had brought back from India, but the plan fell through
because it was difficult to find the needed stone and
the cost was prohibitive. He decided instead to build
a mud pagoda reinforced with bricks, but the mud pagoda
was not strong and the construction was not done properly.
The pagoda collapsed not long after it was built. It
was rebuilt between 701 and 704 on the order of Empress
Wu Ze Tian. |

| The Huaqing Hot Springs,
located about 35 kilometers east of Xi'an city at the
foot of the Lishan Mountain is a must for every visitor
to Xi'an. For centuries emperors had come here to bathe
and enjoy the scenic beauty, and it has been a favorite
spa since the Tang dynasty. Huaqing Hot Springs can be
conveniently visited on returning from the Terracotta
Army siteDuring the Western Zhou, Li Palace was orignially
undertaken here as resort palaces. Later the First Emperor
Qin built a stone pool and gave the name "Lishan
Hot Springs," and it was extended by the Han Wudi,
Martial Emperor. However, the strongest associations
are with the Tang and most of the present buildings have
a Tang style.The Hot Springs Palace was built by Emperor
Taizong and a walled palace was added by Emperor Xuanzong
in 747 A.D. Unfortunately, it was damaged during the
An Lushan Rebellion at the middle Tang. The present site
was rebuilt on the site of the Qing dynasty structure. |

in Shaanxi province, with an elevation of 2200 meters
above sea level. In ancient times, Mount Huashan was
called Mt. Taihuashan. Seen from afar, the five peaks
looks like five petals of a flower. Hence its name, Mount
Huashan. Today, it is listed as one of the renowned national
scenic spots. |
