If the train is moving forward, why do the smoke trails appear
to make the train moving backward?
Maybe there's a tail wind that's moving faster than the trail.

In honor of this February 10, 2024 being the Chinese New Year, I have gone through photos I took in China during November of 2018. The selection below were taken on a November 4th visit to "Emperor Quinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum in Lintong, China" as per the photos' meta data. The rest of the world simply refers to this location as the army of Terracotta Warriors or Soldiers that accompanied China's first emperor, Emperor Qin, in death. It took 40 years during Qin's life to build the expansive mausoleum with its terra-cotta figures. He died at the age of 50 in 210 BC.
There are three main pits and the excavation continues to this day. The Emperor himself was placed in an above ground building with all the furnishings of a palace in which he could continue to live in death and apparently it remains buried in a huge mound that has yet to be fully excavated. Reportedly there exist booby traps to deter entry.
While Emperor Qin was China's first emperor (having conquered and combined warring factions) there were rulers before him who also surrounded themselves with an "army" to protect them in the after life. In some instances, those buried with the prior rulers were not made of terra-cotta, but rather the persons themselves. Qin himself was accompanied in death by thousands of officials and construction workers who were buried alive primarily to keep the location a secret.
In 1974 the site was discovered by farmers digging a well.
Nearby at various workshops one can have a contemporary terra-cotta image created from the same clays as well as acquiring a set of one's own miniature terra-cotta figures.
Then onward to the Great Wall of China that was initially built by China's first emperor Qin, a journey on the Yangtze River, and a visit to the Forbidden Palace in distant Beijing:

Friday has arrived!
Looking for something special to fix for Super Bowl Sunday?
And for tomorrow February 10th:
Maybe the train had stopped for the photo shoot and the wind was blowing from the back.
