In fact, this is a trip to the northwest. The main destinations are Yuncheng, Huashan and Lanzhou, and Xi'an is just one of the transit points.

Because we were visiting the old place again, we saved the time to check in for well-known attractions, purely shopping and eating, and spent a day and two nights of happy time leisurely.

The whole travel journey may be a bit simple, but it is a journey that we feel infinitely close to local life.


[Tour in Xi'an]

By the way, this trip started in Shanghai. It took a night to arrive in Xi'an on a green leather cart. We had dinner on the dining car. Although the meal really left us speechless, the slow journey started from this meal...

All the dishes were semi-finished products heated in the microwave. The amount of dishes was extremely small, so small that each table was added repeatedly because they were not enough to eat. Three people ate ten bowls of dishes and eight steamed buns, and even ate bread when they returned to the private room... Although the food is not good, the experience of dining in a dining car is still worth a try.


Under the Drum Tower set against the blue sky and white clouds is our hotel. The superior location is the main reason why we chose it. Whether it was sightseeing, eating snacks, taking the subway, or renting a car, it was within a five-minute walk, so that we canceled our last night's stay at another hotel and continued to stay at Ibis.

Because of its proximity, we took climbing the city wall as the only tour in Xi'an this time.

There were not many tourists on the city wall under the sun, let alone riding bicycles. After walking for a short while, I felt like I was going to be melted.


The next morning was still our traditional event-morning running. We must not waste such a distinctive urban landscape. Starting from the Bell Tower at 5:30 and running for ten kilometers along the base of the South City wall, it can be regarded as a new angle to admire the ancient city wall.


Time and physical strength couldn't allow us to circle the city wall, but this half circle was enough.

[Xi'an's food]

This trip to Xi'an is definitely the most and most abundant food we have had when we traveled abroad. Three dinners and two breakfasts, as well as sweets, full of carbohydrates and oils, making people happy and sweet burdens.

[Snacks]

Aihua Trouser Belt Noodles

The first meal after arriving in Xi'an will definitely satisfy pasta lovers.

Qinyu Roujiamo

It's next door to Aihua, so it's suitable for checking in together.

Jiabao sweet food

The treasure sweet food I found on Huimin Street last time was very suitable for my taste. This time, I directly bought a combination of cold rice dumplings and cold cakes.

Baixiang Sweets Store


Eight treasure glutinous rice. There are many varieties of sweets. You won't step on thunder if you order casually, but most of them are hot. After eating it in summer, you should be mentally prepared.

Laomijia paomo

This is the first time I ate stir-fried steamed buns, and I put pepper in it, which is heavier than steamed buns. You can choose how much soup you want.

Beef shortcake

At six o'clock in the morning in Dapi Yuan, it is drizzling. Come to a bowl of hot soup, coupled with freshly baked beef shortbread, which will instantly warm and heal.

roadside stalls

In a hurry, I have breakfast at the roadside stall in front of the hotel. We don't ask for repeat customers near the Bell Tower. It's a one-time business, so don't be picky about the environment and taste, just eat half full.

The hot soup with sparse water cannot be compared with the next day.

[Dinner]

Zhai Lane Shan Restaurant

The restaurant is small and the restaurant is not big, but it is satisfactory in terms of taste, quantity and price. It is extremely cost-effective and suitable for outsiders!

Absolute signature, gourd chicken, tender and juicy.

Spicy pepper, garlic and sheep blood, and heavy diners who love mutton should not miss it.

You must try the pork pork no matter when you come to Xi'an. It is served with a Chinese steamed bun

The pickled cabbage konjac that amazes me, the sour and spicy taste, and the Q bullet konjac is simply amazing!

Zui Chang an

The restaurant, which is more innovative than ordinary Shaanxi cuisine restaurants, not only combines various snacks in Xi'an, and makes appropriate improvements to reflect the refinement visually.

The gift of Huojing persimmon juice, the sweet persimmon juice is filled with nuts and raisins, which has a rich taste.

Mini crispy Chinese hamburger

Egg cone cake.

Wrap the beef grains and rice dumplings with lettuce.

squirrel fish

I ordered oil doused noodles and garlic sheep blood purely for comparison, but the result was a complete defeat!


Although it is a transfer station, there is particularly ample time because there are no scenic spots where you have to check in. Compared with our first visit to Xi'an, we tasted more delicious food, especially down-to-earth snacks. Along the ancient city wall, the experience of morning running and exercising with Xi'an people was also very unique. Second visit Xi'an, we no longer rush by like tourists, but gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of the charm of this ancient city.
