Dwarfed by Giants
Click here if you haven't seen the very unique marionette performance.
After the Olympics was over, both of these giants were housed at the Terra-Cotta Army Museum in Xian.
In the first picture, you can see how they dwarf all the visitors below.

Hi! :-)
That looks very amazing...
Greetings

I am a dwarf as well.
Wonder what's the significant of a Xian soldier holding a little girl's hand? Maybe the past meets the present kinda idea? I love the Qin dynasty. Would love to visit the terra cotta museum and the First Emperor's mausoleum one day.
Thanks everyone for visiting and commenting.
Yvi: It is amazing standing next to them. I wished I could've have seen them move.
Rainfield61: As so am I.
RoseBelle: You are correct, it is about past meets present and to spread friendship. The museum is huge and still so much more to uncover...
poeple are not only dwarfed, they are mesmerized!
I've come across an article about the Terra-Cotta Museum. Interesting. It's traveling counterpart came here in Houston, but I missed it. Good capture!lentig
Thanks for sharing all these articles with beautiful photos that we may not know through news or TV. Thanks again and love browsing your sites/photos.
cheers.
Karen, that is amazing.
I always think terra cotta is of the size of a normal man. Perhaps I was wrong.
Enjoyed the show. Truly amazing!
