TERRACOTTA WARRIOR FACTORY
An extremely interesting visit to the Terracotta Warrior factory reveals the process of the making of Emperor Qin's army. Little seems to have changed in creating today's pottery figures. Although five or six ladies demonstrated the creation of the warriors, we became aware of the mass production exuding from this factory. The factory sold items direct to the "tourist" as well as sending their products to markets throughout China.
