For your eyes only: PM Modi looks uber cool in shades

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday began his official visit to China from the historic city of Xi'an, the capital of Shaanxi province, going round the Terracotta Warriors Museum.

Narendra Modi went to the Terracotta Warriors Museum that houses neat rows of terracotta sculptures, depicting the armies of Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China.

The museum has a collection of over 8,000 life-size clay warriors.

Attired in a white kurta-churidar with a brown shawl draped around his shoulder, Modi went around the museum and listened attentively to the guide.

He spent an hour at the museum. The museum complex, a UN World Heritage site, also houses Qin's mausoleum and was built in the 2nd century BC.

He wrote in the visitors' book: "The terracotta army is a heritage of the world. It is a testimony to China's civilizational achievements. I am deeply impressed by the extraordinary care with which this precious heritage has been preserved."

The PM took deep interest and looked inquisitive during his visit to the museum. Most of the times he was seen asking questions, observing the terracota figurines.

The PM walks in style with shades on his forehead outside the Warriors Museum in China.
