Encore Xi'an dans une ancienne demeure de commerçant du quartier musulman. Le portes rondes signifient bonheur et richesse.

Again Xi'an in an old merchand's home in the Muslim quarter. Round doors promise luck and health.

Toujours à Xi'an en Chine. La cour des stÚles du musée de Beilin, avec ces pierres millénaires gravées de textes et d' images sur l'histoire et la philo. Le dessin à l'encre ne ressemblait à rien, l'aquarelle rajouté arrange la perspective.

The courtyard of steles in the Beilin Museum. The original ink sketch was bad. With a little watercolour it got the right perspective.

A Chinese courtyard with lions and other animal sculptures. Steles and a museum building in the background.

A street like a village in Xi'an with art supply shops.

Xi’an City Wall, Xi’an, China. May 2014, iPhone 5s.

The weather was so drizzly and the light so bad that all the colors in this image had to be reconstructed from its original gray-brown mush.

A Xi'an derriÚre un temple de Confucius avec son agitation se trouve un délicieux jardin, une terrasse et du thé vert frais; cette stÚle avec ses rubans me rappelait l'image du ruban bleu des romantiques. Encre noir au lavis.

In Xi'an behind a busy Confucian temple is this quaint garden, a terrasse with refreshing green tea; this mini temple with its ribbons reminded me of the blue ribbon of the romantics.

Sketch in black ink water shaded of a Chinese mini temple with lion feet and 4 columns and a few red ribbons tied to it.

"To follow the Silk Road is to follow a ghost. It flows through the heart of Asia, but it has officially vanished leaving behind the pattern of its restlessness: counterfeit boarders, unmapped peoples. The road forks and wanders wherever you are. It is not a single way, but many: a web of choices." - Colin Thubron

Great Mosque of Xi’an, Xi’an, China. May 2014, iPhone 5s.

A mosque—and a really old one, at that—in Chinese style with Chinese calligraphy. It’s a major tourist attraction (mostly Asian tourists, of course) for good reasons. There was a lot less light in that room than this edit shows, and I couldn’t save the murky furniture.

@alarmistsqrl & Yours Truly — Xi’an City Wall, Xi’an, China. May 2014, iPhone 5s.

Miraculously, it stopped drizzling for a minute, and we could finally take a selfie on Xi’an’s 9 mile-long city wall without juggling umbrellas.

Double selfie with a stretch of the city wall in the background, a row of red lanterns on the right, and a gray sky above.

#FotoVorschlag: NĂ€her dran geht's nicht // Can't get any closer

NĂ€her dran an die #TerrakottaArmee kommt man nicht und sieht so die unglaublichen Details - jeder #Krieger ist einzigartig, bis hin zu den Schuhsohlen! Auch wenn die Farben mittlerweile kaum noch zu sehen sind, hat mich das sehr beeindruckt. Es zeigt aber auch, dass auch damals schon grĂ¶ĂŸenwahnsinnige Spinner an der Macht waren 🙄 // You can't get any closer to the #TerracottaArmy than this and marvel at the wonderful details - each #warrior is unique, down to the soles of his shoes! The colours are mostly faded now but still, I was deeply impressed. It also shows that megalomaniac leaders aren't a recent development. 🙄

A close-up, back view shows a partially excavated terracotta warrior statue. The warrior wears segmented armour across its back and shoulders, fastened with small, raised rivets. Traces of faded orange paint are visible on the lower back armour. The statue's head has a detailed hairstyle pulled up into a topknot. The lower body and legs are less detailed and appear unfinished. The statue rests on a plain, rectangular support. A blurred background suggests a museum display setting.
