And there’re huge lovely Roses outside the Souvenir Shops which greatly remind me of my most beautiful Home Garden Roses (with beautiful Rose Syrub Fragrance!!) back in Geelong (Victoria - Australia) during my uni days!!

Hahah I’m getting real excited as I hunt around for the best piece of Bing Ma Yong to bring home with me!!

I’ve seen quite a few pieces in Tourist Shops at Jianguo Hotel, as well as at our Lunch Restaurant earlier this afternoon, but we were strongly advised by our Xi’an Chinese Tour Guide to best not buy those Bing Ma Yong, cos some of them may be FAKE!!

And true enough for me, somehow I find them looking kinda weird in color (either too dark or light!!), or seem much lighter or are too heavy in weights, & they usually sell at a much lower rate which means they’re of not too good qualities!!

But the ones inside the Souvenir Shops here at Museum of Qin Terra Cotta Warriors & Horses are made of the real Clay material as originally used in making the buried Bing Ma Yong of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, & they’re for sure very genuine ones!!!

Therefore, my brother-in-law (Ah Hia) & I specially waited till now to buy our Bing Ma Yong - YES FINALLY I’ve got mine!! seen here below - ahahah too bad I could only afford ONE miniature piece of course - hahah wish I could get the Kneeling Archer Bing Ma Yong too!!

But NOPE I can’t!! thinking I’ve to be carrying all my purchases for the rest of my days here in Silk Road, China (up & down Coaches & Trains etc!!) -  So the less I buy, the less load I’d be travelling with for the rest of my Trip!! Ahhaha wish my Dear Dear’s with Me right now!! (so that he can carry for Me hahah!!!)

BUT still I love this miniature GENERAL Terra Cotta Warrior of mine so much so much & I’m really proud to be owning him heehhehe!!!

This’s truely a most rare Souvenir Treasure find for me!! And ahahah I must be the smartest girl here right now to have gotten this charming Pack of Cards!!

Lastly, I got myself this following Great Wall of China with Thermometer Souvenir Magnet - heeheheh Me wondering why there’re Great Wall Souvenirs available here at Museum of Qin Terra Cotta Warriors & Horses!?!? Well, cos Emperor Qin Shi Huang - the First Emperor of United China - was the one who initiated & built the Great Wall of China of course!!
