Back @ the Emperor Qin' Tomb, we were told that it was unnecessary to hire a guide at the 兵马俑, just tail behind a tour group and we can tag-along their service. That's why when we arrived at the ticket booth, both of us were shunning the swam of licensed guides... BUT i was extremely glad that this nice lady persistently asked us if we needed her service (rmb$40). i remembered our Egypt tour guide mahmood, if it is not by his wealth of experience in narrating the ancient temples history and showing us specifically where the interesting icons were, our trip werent so fruitful and complete... All the local guides had their license tag displayed vividly and i guess it must be the state regulations to maintain the history telling consistency among this trade and needless to mention, it was to match visitors' anticipated high standard. With her no-discounted narrative old tales, both of us had a comprehensive understanding of the soldiers formation, the intended usage and a better appreciation of the legacy Emperor Qin had left for himself.
i recalled her words, she said "三分用看的,七分靠听的..." After the tour, i totally AGREE.
