A German tourist in a terra-cotta warrior costume is inspected by police in Xi'an, Northwest China's Shaanxi province, September 16, 2006. A German art student tried to join a Chinese dynasty's army, but he volunteered centuries too late. The 26-year-old man, identified only as 'Pablo' or by his Chinese name 'Ma Lin', made a dusty brown suit of armor, a tunic and a helmet, and attempted to blend in with the ancient warriors of the terracotta army Xi'an.
