    With China's importance in the world today, I think it'd be smart to learn about the history and culture.

    My in-laws brought us back a little replica Terracotta Soldier from their trip to China. It certainly sounded like something worth seeing.

    What an incredible lens! This could keep us busy for months. I'm so glad!

    I know I mentioned it to your personally, but I wanted others to know that they can visit a 1/3 scale model of the Terra Cotta soldiers just outside of Houston, TX: http://www.forbidden-gardens.com/ They also have a model of the Forbidden Gardens there. And, there are lots of other things to see there.

    The Terra Cotta museum exhibit is also traveling and will be in Houston starting in May. It might come near your hometown, too!

    Great lens! I especially enjoyed the portion on the Great Wall. I had the opportunity to visit Beijing, Guangzhou and Shanghai this past summer, but learned a lot I didn't know from your lens. China is a beautiful country to visit.
  • Kelly Feb 2, 2009 @ 11:06 pm | delete
    We are taking a vacation to China this April and seeing both the Wall and the Warriors plus a number of other things. We are also covering ancient civilizations with my son who is in first grade. All of this will be a great help!

    You have done a very thorough job on this lens. Five *'s from me. I have also done on on Suzhou, China and on ancient China, but your lens is fabulous.
  • dc64 Nov 19, 2008 @ 1:42 pm | delete
    The Terracotta Warriors have always been a favorite of mine, so I'm glad to find them here. I saw the documentary of the First Emperor on the History Channel or National Geographic...I'm not sure. It's definitely worth watching, but I agree with your age recommendations.
