Xi'An fu la prima capitale della Cina e Qin Shi Huang (260 - 210 a.C.) fu il primo feroce imperatore, che fece costruire a protezione della sua tomba e come simbolo di potere questo incredibile esercito. I soldati ed i cavalli sono stati realizzati a grandezza naturale, cesellati con grande dettaglio e vestiti con riproduzioni fedeli delle armature dell'epoca. Per rendere l'esercito ancora più realistico, i soldati erano muniti di armi vere (poi saccheggiate) e la terracotta era completamente colorata (i colori sono stati persi durante il restauro). Il sito dal 1987 è stato inserito tra i 'Patrimoni dell'umanità' dall'UNESCO, al momento sono stati recuperati e restaurati circa 8000 soldati, 18 carri e 100 cavalli e si stima sia solo il 50% di quello che ancora è sepolto.

Hi, congratulations, nice picture. Would you take a curiosity? When I was 20 years old, I remember that it was strictly forbidden to photograph, and the Chinese were watching with great care. Now the ban is gone, or have you been good at shooting it?

Hi, this series of photos goes back more than 7 years ago ...
At the time I do not remember having had big problems, if I remember the prohibition was to use flash only in a somewhat dark environment. In fact, I did a few really clear photos and the mythical D90 did not shine for high ISO output. But something was acceptable.
Thanks for appreciation and for the passage.
