Xi'an pics

I went to Xi'an for Tomb Sweeping Day, which is a Chinese holiday reserved for people to honor their ancestors and for them to...sweep their tombs. I don't have ancestors (that I can track down at least...) in China, so I went to Xi'an...the next best thing. So many tombs!


"An estimated 120 million people mourned for the deceased at graveyards or memorial parks on Saturday, China's traditional Qingming or Tomb-Sweeping Day, the Ministry of Civil Affairs said."


Here are some pics:
