The enormous front gate, a remake of the original.

Opera Performers at Daming Palace

Daming Palace, one of many archeological finds in Xi'an, was an enormous complex that contained an entire city in its day.
At the site we could see the foundations that have been unearthed.  They've begun recreating the vast place, and we were impressed.









Performers entertained crowds on an outside stage.  When we took a photo of some of them at a park, pulling costumes over their grubbies, they immediately surrounded us, put a hat on my head, and happily took pictures.
