Just outside Xi'an, nestled in the mountains in the "hinterlands," is a collection of more than 100 buildings that had been taken apart and put back together to appear like a street. Reminiscent of the Cloisters, in New York, it is a beautiful collection of architecture covering a large range of time. This is among the largest private museums in the country.
Arriving late in the day, there were very few people there, and just had time to see nearly all the buildings, except the last one. It was very beautiful, I took so many pictures that I broke this into three blogs.
