Trying foods that are different was something I promised myself I would do when I went to China. Various parts of China have foods unique to the area. Some areas have dumplings as their specialty, in Bejing where the Peking Duck dinner originated, it is a must try. Lots of foods are sold on the street, too.
I love to work puzzles, and this may be the world's largest puzzle. In the early 70's an amazing discovery of what is believed to be over 8000 soldiers and horses made out of terra-cotta were found buried underground. Three farmers were digging a well and found this tomb of warriors ready for battle. The wooden beams that were supporting the farmland above collapsed and broke the warriors into pieces. The Chinese are patiently, scientifically, putting this army back together. So far about 1000 have been completed. It boggles the mind to stand above the pits and see this vast army. I didn't want to leave.
