At the Banpo (half slope) Prehistoric Village Museum.
Ancient Archeology isn't too sexy. You really have to use your imagination.

More dioramaage
Holograms!
Our next destination was the Huaqing Hot Springs where Tang Emperor Xuanzong built many pools for his favorite concubine.
Emperor's toilet! For real!
Upon seeing this photo, a certain cousin exclaimed "UGH! That's me in 20 years."
Concubine Yang, one tall woman.

Lunch in Egypt? Supposedly, these somehow represent the Silk Road which isn't too far away.
The famous Bian Bian Mien. Man, this was some good noodle. Like fat Papardelle. I would have liked to try this with a sauce, like mushrooms and truffles. Mmmmm.....

Madness inside the museum. Utter madness.

Hot Pot - individual pots with some fancy inductive plate that works right through the table cloth!

I am decidedly not a persimmon person. I also don't fancy eating them either.
