After working, I realized the value of holidays. In order not to waste the wonderful holiday time, my wife and I decided to go to Xi'an and had an encounter with the thousand-year-old city.
Since it was a temporary decision, the preparation was a little hasty. I checked that the weather in Xi'an is 13-30. The temperature difference between morning and evening is large. We brought autumn clothes and climbed Huashan at night during the trip, so we also brought down jackets to keep out the cold. Facts have proved that these are all wrong!! In Xi'an in April, the sun is very strong and hot. Although there is a bit of a cool breeze at night, you don't need to wear thick clothes, just clothes in early summer!!! The thick clothes in the suitcase were not used.

The first day of the itinerary is: Shaanxi Province History Museum--Hui People's Square--Ancient City Wall

The high-speed train arrived at Xi'an North Railway Station at 16:00. Because it arrived late, there was no time to go to the Provincial History Museum.
Hotels during this period are more favorable than usual because they are members of Jinjiang Inn. In the end, I chose a Baishi Express Xi'an Bell and Drum Dacha City Hotel that is convenient to the subway and public transportation. It is located in the New town area and has a good location and is convenient to go anywhere. Although the hotel is small, you will feel warm when you enter. After putting away our luggage, we were ready to go to the Hui People's Square for a good meal and started to get busy ~~~~

Already hungry, we immediately took a taxi and rushed to the Hui People's Square, ready to feast on all kinds of Xi'an delicacies. During the journey, you will see the ancient city wall, bell tower, and drum tower. The first thing you will enjoy is the feast for your eyes. When we arrived at Huimin Square, my husband and I were actually a little dumbfounded. The street was full of red willow mutton kebabs, grilled squid, chicken wings and rice dumplings, and various roujiamo restaurants with the word "Lao". It was similar to the food streets of other attractions. It seemed to be specially designed to welcome tourists. It was very commercial. Maybe we had too many expectations before, so we felt a little disappointed. Finally, I tried Huanggui persimmon cake, roujiamo, noodles with minced noodles, and spicy shredded chicken cold noodles.
After we were full, we began to go to the ancient city wall. It was dark and the street lights were turned on. Because the distance is relatively short, my wife and I feel like walking slowly and experiencing the charm of the ancient capital of Xi'an up close. The bell tower with the lights on is really beautiful. Along the way, we found that the buildings in Xi'an are of special style and eaves. They are very different from the buildings in other cities and retain the beauty of ancient Chinese buildings.

Finally arrived at the south gate of the ancient city wall. My wife and I strolled in the ring park at the south gate and watched the ancient city wall be solemn and silent. There were not many tourists that night. It was so romantic to play the wind, watch the beautiful scenery, and talk about love. Ah ~~ Since the next day's itinerary was relatively intensive, we went back to the hotel to wash up and sleep, refreshed our spirits, and prepared to start the next day's itinerary.

The second day's trip came to Yongxing Square, which has only emerged in the past few years. Yongxing Square is located in Zhongshanmen, Xi'an. It brings together more than 50 specialty food operators from all over Shaanxi. There are provincial-level intangible cultural heritage delicacies, such as powdered soup sheep blood, secret pig trotters, cold skin meat buns, small persimmon cakes, sugar cakes, etc., as well as handmade folk skills performances. At Yongxing Square, you can not only experience the style of "Tangcheng 108 Square", but also taste authentic Shaanxi folk snacks; and buy local specialties, delicacies and tourist souvenirs processed with old folk crafts in the place of origin and on-site.

I went to visit the Forest of Steles Museum in the afternoon. Friends who are interested in calligraphy should not miss it. The calligraphy works of everyone here.
At night, I stayed at the Baishi Express Hotel on the first night. The hotel is very convenient to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and it takes only four subway stops. As a popular attraction, there are also many people. There was a large-scale light and shadow show at the Big Wild Goose Pagoda that night. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda served as the background and was projected on it. The whole scene was also quite spectacular. There was no way to squeeze into the crowd to watch the performance, so he could only watch it live and on the big screen.
When we came back from the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, we bought some Xi'an cherries, croissant melons, and almonds along the way. Xi'an's fruits are very good.

Last day's itinerary: Shaanxi Province History Museum (Little Wild Goose Pagoda, Xi'an Museum)--Xianyang Airport
The return flight is after 1 o'clock in the afternoon. Before leaving Xi'an, we also want to visit the Shaanxi Province History Museum. The opening time is 8:30, when we arrive at the Provincial Museum after 8:00. On the left hand side are free tickets. You need to make an appointment in advance on the website and swipe your ID card to collect free tickets. There is a quota limit every day. On the right hand side are tickets purchased for money, and there are more people!!! Tickets for the Treasure Museum are 30, and tickets for the Murals Museum are 300. Later, we went to the Xi'an Museum (free). There are little wild goose pagoda inside, and there are also gardens inside. There are also local people doing Tai Chi, singing voices, and practicing calligraphy. It is very civil life. The collections in the Xi'an Museum are not of the same level as those of the Provincial Museum, but they are also rich.

After visiting the Xi'an Museum, it was already around 10:30 and we needed to go to the high-speed railway station. This was our first time traveling after marriage. We had luck, hard work, and regrets along the way. We had seen, experienced, and had good memories. It was enough.
