If you look in the eyes of Tibetans (man, woman and children), they are always at peace, open, and friendly. It must have something to do with there religion "Buddhism" and state of mind (I think). I also think and have the feel in general it is one big family. Where ever I went in Greater Tibet I had that same experience. For me Tibet is unique and one of a kind.
As is this nomad man if you look in his eyes!

Terracotta Army, Xi'An, Shaanxi province, China
The Terracotta Army is a collection of terracotta sculptures depicting the armies of Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China. It is a form of funerary art buried with the emperor in 210–209 BC and whose purpose was to protect the emperor in his afterlife.
Current estimates are that in the three pits containing the Terracotta Army there were over 8,000 soldiers, 130 chariots with 520 horses and 150 cavalry horses, the majority of which are still buried.
The Terracotta Army was discovered on 29 March 1974 to the east of Xi'an in Shaanxi province by a group of farmers when they were digging a water well.
This is one of seven generals so far found in the excavations. He was leaning on a sword, which has a chrome plated surface. This acted as a coating protecting against corrosion. The sword is still sharp enough to cut through a stack of paper. The chrome plating technology was re-invented by the germans in 1937 and the americans in 1950.
