Xuzhou aka: 徐州

More than 2000 years ago, a Chinese emperor died, and his mausoleum was protected by a great army of thousands of terracotta soldiers. Sound familiar? The surprise here is that we’re NOT talking about the famous figures outside of Xi’an, China. This is an entirely different terracotta army, dating from a slightly later dynastic period, and rediscovered in the Chinese city of Xuzhou (Jiangsu province) in 1984.

Xuzhou isn’t a common tourist stop, but if you find yourself in the area, don’t miss the impressive array of miniature terracotta warriors. Unlike the lifelike and lifesized Xi’an statues, these are small (12-18” in height), more stylized figures – yet still remarkably individual and unique. They’re housed in a pleasant museum complex quite close to the center of the city.

Not surprisingly, you’ll find no giant parking lots, tour buses, and very few western tourists here. An interesting alternative to the admittedly more spectacular Xi’an site.

Westerners with any kind of budget will want to stay at the New Century Grand Hotel, located overlooking a lake at the southern end of the city. Enormous, opulent, and ludicrously cheap (rack rate is less than $50 per night). Good Western and excellent Chinese restaurant on site.

One of the nicest hotels I’ve ever visited.
