With a heart of food, I rush to the ancient capital of Xi'an, which I have longed for a long time.

Taking the high-speed train from Beijing West to Xi'an North, you can arrive at Xi'an at 18:20 and exit the subway. It's very convenient. After getting out of the subway, you can walk for about ten minutes to reach the Days Inn Xi'an Center (Bell Tower Store). More specifically, the hotel front desk is on the 4th floor, and the corridor environment is good. It looks clean and comfortable. There are display cabinets on the walls, with Xi'an characteristics of Terracotta Warriors, etc. placed inside; the room environment is not bad; the sound insulation is a bit poor. When I returned to the hotel one night, there were tables and self-service cutlery on the corridor at the door of my room. The next morning, I heard the sound of plates and eggs at the door. It was a bit noisy and the restaurant was placed in the corridor, which affected the guests 'rest and made it a little uncomfortable.

After putting down my luggage, I consulted the front desk and said that I couldn't catch up with the Big Wild Goose Pagoda Fountain performance at this time. From the hotel, I could walk to Xi'an Bell and Drum Tower and Hui Street. So I walked and watched the brightly lit Bell and Drum Tower from far to near, the 70th anniversary of the celebration, the whole country celebrated and was very spectacular!

Hui Street is crowded with people, bustling and bustling. After 22 o'clock, people are still coming and going. There are many restaurants selling one kind of food, so you can only eat it selectively, usually for 15 yuan. I ate the authentic roujiamo that I had dreamed of, and one person supplied it to two teams. It was not as delicious as it looked like, and the hygiene was a bit poor.

The next day, in order to save trouble, we booked a one-day trip from Xi'an Qin Shi Huang Terracotta Army Museum + Huaqing Palace + Lishan Mountain (including night tour itinerary).

Early in the morning, I walked from the hotel to the boarding point to wait for the bus. After getting on the bus, I first drove to a tourist bus gathering place. After queuing up according to the itinerary, I first went to Huaqing Palace in the morning. On the bus, the tour guide said that the performance of the Xi'an Incident was 169 yuan. It was very shocking and very good. I will regret it if I don't watch it. I don't book on the bus. If I book there, there will be no tickets. If I book there, I won't have any tickets. If I get fooled, I will book them. A glance at a thousand years reveals two historical facts: Huaqing Palace reproduces the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and visits the Royal Imperial Garden Summer Resort. Not long after walking to the mountain, they lined up to watch the 12.12 Xi'an Incident and decrypt the historical archives of Chen Feng. The Xi'an Incident, also known as the "Double Twelve Incident." Huaqing Palace is located in Lishan Mountain. If you take the Lishan cableway and go up the mountain with a battery car, there is not enough time. I feel that a tour of Lishan Mountain should not be included in my itinerary. After watching the performance, we will go down the mountain, and the trip to Mount Li of Huaqing Palace will end.


At the buffet when I took the bus to eat at noon, many people gathered around the buffet table, but they couldn't even insert them in. The dishes were too ordinary and there was almost no meat, so there were many places to sit.

In the afternoon, I came to the Qin Shi Huang Terracotta Warriors Museum. I changed the museum's guide and visited pits 1 to 3. The explanation was very general and a little cursory. I didn't visit them all. Finally, he took us to his so-called key jade shop and stayed for a long time. Walking to the exit of the museum, I first smashed a bowl of wine, then watched Shaanxi's characteristic intangible cultural heritage, Shaanxi Lao Opera and shadow puppet show, changing faces, and tasted Jingwei Fu Tea (bring your own water cup).

After coming out of Yudian, he went straight to Pit 1 and looked at places he hadn't been to before.

Among the selected itineraries were night tours, including Gaojia Courtyard, Qujiang Pool, Yanta Story, and Tang Dynasty Sleepless City. After the day tour, another group was formed and replaced with a tour guide, with only three people. There is Datang Furong Garden in my memory, but it is not in my itinerary and I have not gone there later. At first, they thought that the group could see the night fountain of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. After asking the tour guide, they told them that there was no such thing, and they were a little disappointed. First, we walked to the Gao family compound for a tour.

Then I took the bus to the Qujiang Pool and stood on the bridge to watch the night view.

We took a bus to the Tang Dynasty Sleepless City and took us directly to see the story of Yanta. The night view of the Tang Dynasty Sleepless City is really beautiful, but I don't have time to walk around and have a look.


The story of Yanta tells the story of Xuanzang of Tang Dynasty. Not bad, worth seeing.

Later, it was too late and I lived far away from the Sleepless City, so I didn't visit the Sleepless City much.

On the third day, I signed up for the group to Huashan. When I arrived at the assembly place early in the morning, I consciously lined up in a long line. Only then did the tour guide come and get on the bus and set out for Huashan. The mooncakes they gave were different from what they said (many people didn't want them). Originally, it was previously reported that the West Peak would go up and down the North Peak. Due to personal physical reasons that day, he was afraid that he would not be able to reach the North Peak, so he temporarily changed it to the West Peak to the West Peak. People with good physical strength are advised to go west and north. Those who love photography are better off staying in Huashan for the night. Huashan is the most dangerous peak. There are indeed some roads that are not easy to walk on, but I didn't go to the most dangerous places. I admire the people who built cableways and mountain roads from my heart, but in the end, I climbed a total of three peaks. I returned to the Yamashita bus parking lot within the specified time.

After returning from Huashan, get off the bus at Yongxingfang to satisfy your appetite for food. There are many varieties, so I can't display them one by one. There is only one restaurant for each food, and there is no need to choose which one is delicious, but it is difficult to choose what to eat, because I want to eat everything, haha.

As soon as he entered the door, he was told that there was no soup and no taste. You can't go to this house late if you want to eat.

On the fourth day, I was a little tired from the previous two days, so I wanted to sleep and wake up naturally in the morning, but I was woken up early by the sound of plates, frying eggs, and talking in the corridor outside the door. Sigh.

Walking from the hotel to the food street on the side of Huimin Street, I saw that Lao Li's Miscellaneous Liver Soup Store had a good business and an endless stream of people. I also saw someone interviewing this place. A bowl tastes really good, it is really good.



Because the crispy meat was full at that time, there was really no ground in the stomach. I bought it the next day and took it back to Beijing to eat.


Walking while watching, walking to the Drum Tower during the day, and buying a joint ticket for the Bell and Drum Tower.

Walk to the Bell Tower.

The bell tower is located between the city, and you can see the east, west, north and south towers.

Later, I took the bus to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. As soon as I entered the door, I could smell the fragrance of sophora flowers.




Xi'an City Wall Scenic Area is located in the central area of Xi'an City. The existing city wall was built in the seventh to eleventh years of Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty (1374-1378) and has a history of more than 600 years. It is one of the most famous city wall buildings in Chinese history in the late Middle Ages and the most complete ancient city wall building in China.

It is rectangular in shape, with a wall height of 12 meters, a bottom width of 18 meters, a top width of 15 meters, and a total circumference of 13.74 kilometers.

There are four city gates: East Changle Gate, West Anding Gate, South Yongning Gate, and Bei 'an Yuan Gate. It is rectangular in shape, with a wall height of 12 meters, a bottom width of 18 meters, a top width of 15 meters, and a total circumference of 13.74 kilometers.

The Xi'an City Wall was built on the basis of the Imperial City of the Tang Dynasty. Completely centered around the "defense" strategic system, the wall is thicker than its height, firm as a mountain, and the top of the wall can be used for sports cars and drills.

Hiking 13.7 kilometers of the city wall, a 3-hour journey, starting from the south gate, from west-north-east and then back.

Tip: If you don't choose to walk, you can rent bicycles for single and multi-person people, and you can only use cash.

The South Gate City Wall is the most beautiful one, with complete facilities. From time to time, people wearing ancient costumes come and go. You will feel that you have traveled through history and stayed in that distant era.

At the south gate of Xi'an City Wall, I rented a bicycle and rode it around. I realized that it had to be a mountain bike. The road on the city wall was very bumpy. Only then did I realize that there were not only four gates to get up and down the city wall.



I originally wanted to get down from the south gate, but who knew how I walked through it, but I didn't see the stairs leading down, so I walked straight forward to the city wall at the exit of Yongxingfang.

There are a variety of dipping sauces for pig's trotters, and I still prefer the original flavor.

I didn't expect it to be really delicious, and it was soon available.


I didn't get as much material as others. I don't know if I didn't like it, so I asked to get more material and reluctantly dipped it again.

On the fifth day, when I arrived at the Little Wild Goose Pagoda early in the morning before it opened, I lined up at the door to collect free tickets. After entering the door, I lined up in a long line for security inspection and entry. It was very slow. People with monthly tickets could enter at will without queuing. Little tip, Tuesdays are closed to the public. It has become a street park for local residents.

After coming out of Xiaoyan Pagoda, I took a bus to Hui Street and ate Xi'an steamed buns. Since I had to catch a train in the afternoon, I made the steamed buns quickly by myself and could be smaller if time permits. The taste is really good, it is real and delicious.

Before leaving, I packed a roujiamo and drank the ubiquitous Bingfeng soda, which tasted similar to the Arctic Ocean.

I haven't left yet, but I have begun to miss Xi'an cuisine.
