Xena visited Chinn (China) around the year 10 BG (Evil Xena period) and again in the year, 5 AG. As Evil Xena, she popularized the "Heads on Pikes Great Wall Garden Ornaments." Later she also introduced the technique of hairpin fatal lobotomies. (See Episodes "The Debt I & II, Back in the Bottle, and Purity). This time she returned to Chinn as a tourist. (BG=Before Gabrielle; AG=After Gabrielle).

"No blood was spilled or vases broken during the filming of this trip although a few funny looks were endured."

Special thanks to Chris and Anne for taking Xena on their trip (July, 2002) and subjecting themselves to the smiles and stares as they snapped her picture thoughout China.
