    Here is another evergreen outside the museum.: by suziqtn, Views[128]
         		 They found that the warriors were highly colored, but upon exposure to oxygen, most of it deteriorated. Here is a back view of the archer where you can still see a little of red.: by suziqtn, Views[128]
         		 This huge statue was just outside the entrance to view the terra cotta warriors.: by suziqtn, Views[124]
         		 This warrior was an archer. Their topknots mostly leaned to the left so that they'd have room for their arrows on their right side. I searched in vain for a lefty.: by suziqtn, Views[133]
         		 As you can see by the hands of this warrior, he was holding a weapon. They were made of wood, so also didn't survive.: by suziqtn, Views[125]
     
    As they
         		 These men were loading the ship with unbelievably heavy loads on the ends of bamboo poles. There were too many Viking workers for me to get a good shot, but this is one of the lighter loads.: by suziqtn, Views[290]
         		 Back on the Viking Emerald, I had to try a chicken foot just to prove I could. I put it on Phyllis' bread plate and waited on her to spot it. Mean roommate!: by suziqtn, Views[303]
         		 So, in Mayan philosophy, my sign is a monkey. In Chinese, it's a pig. How awful is that? They had the signs of the zodiac and I took this one of mine.: by suziqtn, Views[292]
         		 I found the Yangtze, at least from our ship, to be very peaceful.: by suziqtn, Views[301]
     
    The pagoda from our ship on the Yangtze.: by suziqtn, Views[284]
         		 I just loved the beauty of this place.: by suziqtn, Views[102]
         		 Another view of the gate in the marketplace. This one was just before we crossed over to the pagoda.: by suziqtn, Views[115]
         		 Yet another view of those fantastic roofs.: by suziqtn, Views[94]
         		 This was a great view coming down.: by suziqtn, Views[91]
     
    This is a great, foggy view from above.: by suziqtn, Views[97]
         		 The river was lovely.: by suziqtn, Views[84]
         		 A view of the Yangtze from above.: by suziqtn, Views[99]
         		 On the way down, at long last.: by suziqtn, Views[97]
         		 Two scary creatures in the courtyard.: by suziqtn, Views[90]
     
    A view from another window. This one happens to be in the stall in the women's bathroom. When I went in, no one was waiting (shocking) and so I stopped to take this photo. I came out and there was a line of about 10 women. I felt somewhat guilty, but was glad I took this photo, anyway.: by suziqtn, Views[123]
         		 It seemed that everywhere we went, there was an amazing amount of detail. These banisters are a case in point.: by suziqtn, Views[102]
         		 Another mural in the courtyard, bas relief.: by suziqtn, Views[104]
         		 I just loved the rooflines, as you probably realize by now.: by suziqtn, Views[129]
         		 More of the same.: by suziqtn, Views[129]
     
    Depictions of other famous people.: by suziqtn, Views[112]
         		 Here is the Queen of Heaven.: by suziqtn, Views[120]
         		 There were also a variety of murals in the courtyard.: by suziqtn, Views[92]
         		 Once inside the temple, there were icons representing various warriors, emperors and empresses. This one depicts the Jade Emperor.: by suziqtn, Views[135]
         		 Here's another view of the courtyard.: by suziqtn, Views[101]
     
    This gate was the entrance going to the pagoda.: by suziqtn, Views[101]
         		 As was common throughout China, there were dragons decorating the entrance.: by suziqtn, Views[101]
         		 There were some wonderfully rendered bronze statues.: by suziqtn, Views[105]
         		 Here one can make offerings to Buddha.: by suziqtn, Views[94]
         		 When I finally got to this courtyard entrance to the temple, I was glad I'd hiked the 9 floors to reach it.: by suziqtn, Views[103]
     
    I took this from about floor 6 or 7.: by suziqtn, Views[105]
         		 The structure actually has about 12 stories, but the temple, courtyards, etc. are on the 9th floor, thank the goddess!: by suziqtn, Views[93]
         		 Just to prove I actually hiked up this thing, I took photos on my way to the top.: by suziqtn, Views[104]
         		 Here's a closer view.: by suziqtn, Views[106]
         		 I found this to be one of the most beautiful structures I saw during my trip.: by suziqtn, Views[98]
     
    This is the entrance to the 9 flights of stairs, more like ladders, to the top of the pagoda. They were made without nails -- just wooden pegs!: by suziqtn, Views[102]
         		 Just before we left to go to the pagoda, I spotted these 2 interesting sculptures.: by suziqtn, Views[109]
         		 Here is another beautiful gate into the marketplace.: by suziqtn, Views[91]
         		 On the way to the Shibaozhai pagoda and temple, we passed through this marketplace.: by suziqtn, Views[102]
         		 Not being Chinese, I found the lettering on the gates remarkable.: by suziqtn, Views[96]
     
    I couldn't believe, and neither could anyone else, that I climbed up the 9 stories to the temple here.: by suziqtn, Views[96]
         		 Not only did we have a beautiful sunrise, we had an outstanding sunset as well.: by suziqtn, Views[277]
         		 This view of the river just before sunset was ethereal.: by suziqtn, Views[281]
         		 Hello from our room steward.: by suziqtn, Views[301]
         		 As usual, we had fresh fruit in our room. The small round things are jejubes. I'd never eaten one before and found them like a small, crisp and tasty apple.: by suziqtn, Views[326]
