For those that missed the
Terra Cotta Warriors visit to the UK in 2008, there is one last chance to see this
truly unique display before it returns to
China. Terra Cotta Warriors: Guardians of China's First Emperor, makes its final US stop at the
National Geographic Museum in Washington DC this autumn, opening on 19 November 2009 until 31 March 2010.
Destination DC is offering culture-minded
travellers the chance to
experience the exhibition as part of a dedicated "
Weekend Warriors" promotion that runs until December 2009.
Travellers who book two-night "
Weekend Warriors" hotel packages on
Washington.org can enjoy exclusive access to any-day,
any-time tickets to see the exhibition,
complimentary breakfast for two or valet parking at their hotel as well as
hot tips on some of DC's events to make for an
unforgettable weekend.
Terra Cotta Warriors has already received
record crowds to its previous host venues. As the
National Geographic Museum has sold more than 55,000
advance tickets to the exhibition, this deal is not to be missed as it
guarantees entry into the exhibition.
To
celebrate the Warriors coming to the city, DC's cultural venues, hotels and restaurants have developed
China-themed events and programmes for
visitors to enjoy including; a special exhibition on
Renaissance views of China at the
Folger Shakespeare Library, take a China-focused tour of the
Sackler Gallery, sample Xi'an-style menus at
Mie N Yu and savour a Chinois-inspired tea at the
