Speaking of tourist cities, Xi'an must be a super IP. Whether you have been there or not, thousands of years of history are there, the capital cities of more than a dozen dynasties are built there, and the cultural and historical landscapes stand there. For a history and tourism enthusiast, no matter whether it is good or bad, whether it conforms to your imagination, or whether it can stand your scrutiny, if you don't go to Xi'an, it will be really heart-scratching.

Xi'an is a thousand-year-old capital that has withstood the test of time and the originator of an online tourist city. Come and explore together with me!

about traffic

It can be expected that the traffic in Xi'an is not very smooth and it is easy to get stuck in traffic, especially during holidays. There are people everywhere, long queues everywhere, and traffic jams everywhere. So if you want to travel in Xi'an less stressful, try to avoid holidays.

Taxes in Xi'an are very cheap, and drivers are all local drivers. They can ask them about nearby restaurants, delicacies or attractions. They are all very talkative. I guess that because they often chat with foreign tourists, they can tell every story about various attractions. It is guaranteed that there will be unexpected gains.

After arriving at the train station, there will be a lot of people soliciting customers. You should pay attention at this time. Because you are unfamiliar with the place, they will raise the price for various reasons, and may even drag you to the fake Terracotta Warriors Scenic Area. This is very cheating, so it's best not to pay attention to this kind of street soliciting customers.

about accommodations

In terms of accommodation, some people like star-rated ones, while others like cheap and convenient ones. I only have one criterion for accommodation, and that is comfort. Because traveling, especially for long distances, if you are uncomfortable, it will not only affect your mood for playing, but more importantly, you will be unhappy for a long time. Because it's hard to come here, if your mood is disturbed by your accommodation, it's really sad.

I chose Xi'an Orange Plaza Hotel. It was a quick taxi from the railway station. It was very close to the ancient city wall and the Bell and Drum Tower, and the transportation was fast. To be honest, this hotel is extremely cost-effective (I admire my vision of booking on a certain trip), and its antique temperament is very suitable for the city of Xi'an. I like their lobby book bar and room most. The room has a touch of Chinese style, it is light (more appropriate to describe it as elegant as orchid), and it is very comfortable. Put a few pictures and let's experience it for ourselves.

About attractions

Let me make it clear: I only share the attractions I have visited, and I will not comment on other attractions I have not visited, and we have no say.

When you come out of the train station, the first thing you see is the ancient city wall. This is one of the advantages of choosing Xi'an Orange Plaza Hotel. They are all very close. The circumference of the ancient city wall is more than ten kilometers. If you ride for a week, it will take about one and a half minutes. Climbing the city wall is a physical task, and you can't do this without enough physical strength. I really admire the body of the soldier brother in the past. He can go up to the city wall to defend and kill enemies. He can also fight fiercely for a day and a half. His body is really good. However, after climbing the city wall, you can overlook the scenery of Chang 'an, which is majestic. I suggest that everyone still climb the city wall.

The Bell Tower and Drum Tower are like twins, facing each other from afar. They are a landmark building in Xi'an. The Bell Tower rings the bell and the Drum Tower beats the drums, jointly playing a song of Chang' an in the Tang Dynasty. You can also see the scenery of Chang 'an when you climb the building. It will be more spectacular here, especially at night, when the lights of the Bell and Drum Tower are turned on, the night view is beyond words.

Tang Furong Garden is one of my personal favorite attractions. It is a man-made Tang Garden. As a Tang fan, I have no resistance at all. I have a tour bus to visit the garden and go up and down to experience the charm of Tang Garden up close. It's even more exciting at night. There are large-scale terrace song and dance performances, especially the indoor song and dance "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty". It's recommended to watch it. You need to buy a ticket separately, but it's worth it.

There are too many people in the History Museum, and the queue is like the Great Wall. It is no exaggeration at all. However, Xi'an, as an ancient capital of thousands of years, has to go to the museum no matter how hard it is to queue up. It's best to hire a manual tour guide for about 50 yuan, otherwise we will just take a look, but we won't be able to understand the history and culture behind it. Listening to the tour guide is like watching "National Treasures", which will increase our knowledge!

The Big Wild Goose Pagoda and the Little Wild Goose Pagoda are two very famous attractions in Xi'an. I personally recommend the Little Wild Goose Pagoda. There are relatively few people and it is more peaceful, demure and comfortable than the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.

Of course, we can't leave the Terracotta Warriors behind in the last attraction! This is not only a must-visit attraction in China, but also a must-visit attraction in the world! The fame of one of the Eight Wonders of the World will not be repeated again. It is very shocking. You will admire why the ancient people of the past were so smart and creative. However, you will have to experience it yourself before you can feel the shock. Moreover, it is best to hire a tour guide. A professional tour guide will add a lot of color to this attraction!

about gourmet

Speaking of Xi'an's delicious food, the first thing is to go to Huifang Street, where most of the delicious food can be eaten. The second is Hui Street, which is simply a sea of people. I can only see the crowd and smell the delicious fragrance. I can't help it!

Then there are many delicious food around the Bell and Drum Tower. During the few days I was in Xi'an, I would always run out from the Li Chengyi Hotel at night and go to the vicinity of the Bell and Drum Tower to find food. Because of the proximity, I enjoyed it.

Specific delicacies are not recommended, because everyone has different tastes. As long as you look for them on the above streets, you will definitely be able to enjoy it. However, mutton and steamed buns must be tasted. What is the saying? It's a waste to come to Xi'an if you don't try mutton and steamed buns. Then try it. It can be regarded as a check-in ceremony when you come to Xi'an.

PostScript

In Xi'an, except for the guests who were a mixed place at the railway station, the people I met were all quite good. The talkative old drivers, enthusiastic tour guides, friends who accompanied during the tour, and the younger brothers and sisters of Xi'an Li Chengyi Hotel all made me find some familiarity in Xi'an, which is unfamiliar with the place of life.

This drives me to visit my old place again soon!
