The historical significance and tourism significance of Xi'an will not be elaborated here. As an ancient capital of thirteen dynasties, Xi'an has preserved too many historical attractions. If you want to take your children on a trip, Xi'an is definitely a good choice. Let's follow in my footsteps to explore it!

Every tourist city has some pits, and Xi'an is no exception. The most obvious manifestation is the black car, especially the motorcycle in the railway station. Sometimes the local people don't know which is the regular car, so I personally suggest everyone to make a drop, especially if you want to go directly to the Terra Cotta Warriors in the railway station. Can you imagine that they will pull you to a fake Terra Cotta Warriors without your knowing it? So everyone should first settle in the hotel and ask the hotel owner for specific ways and routes of transportation.

The Li Cheng Yi Hotel in Xi'an that I stayed at before was very reliable. They all understood it very well and even taught you how to avoid pitfalls. My child and I stayed there for 4 days and had a great experience. The service was impeccable, and the parent-child room had a light Chinese style, elegant and unique, with a sense of history. The overall feeling was good. It was not far from the Bell and Drum Tower and the Ming City Wall, and the transportation was smooth and reliable!

We arrived at the Lichengyi Hotel one night in advance and went to the Bell and Drum Tower to see the night view that evening. The night view here is quite great, with the bell tower and drum tower separated by a road, complementing each other beautifully and taking beautiful photos. As a landmark attraction in Xi'an, the Bell and Drum Tower is worth a visit, especially at night.

On the first day, we went to the Terra Cotta Warriors. There were a lot of people, and the queue was very long. The children were OK, not noisy, and waited for the entrance with good manners. After they went in, they thought it was worth it. But it was better to find an official guide, otherwise many things could not be understood, and the children could also have a deep understanding of this history.

I spent a long time in the Terra Cotta Warriors. It was already 4 o'clock when I went to the Huaqing Palace, which is connected to the Lishan Mountain. It is very close to the Terra Cotta Warriors. There is a famous scenic spot called Huaqing Pool, which is said to be the place where Princess Yang took a bath. There are many stories, which can be seen from Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Regret". Of course, there is also a song and dance performance of "Song of Everlasting Regret" in the Huaqing Pool. This is highly recommended, and it is almost cracked.

The next morning, after having a delicious breakfast at the Lichengyi Hotel, we set off for the ancient city wall. From the city wall, we could overlook the entire Xi'an city and find the shadow of Chang'an City. The city wall is very large, so it's best to rent a bicycle to travel around. It's great and you can interact with your children. Cycling on the city wall and on the road are two different feelings.

Continuing on to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, we arrived early. I heard that there was a music fountain from 7pm to 9pm, but due to time constraints, we went to the Tang Dynasty Night City in the evening. This is the place that I have been longing for, because I have read Tang history since I was young and have a special affection for the prosperous Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty Night City has largely restored the magnificent scenery of Chang'an in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. For a moment, I thought I had traveled through time and arrived at the Tang Dynasty Night City. Just looking at the night view of Chang'an is unforgettable.

On the third day, only one scenic spot was arranged - Maoling. Firstly, it was quite far away, and secondly, the children were a bit overwhelmed. I think this scenic spot can provide a profound understanding of the history of the Han Dynasty, especially the many years of war between the Great Han and the Xiongnu. Chen Tang's famous saying, 'Those who violate our strong Han will be executed even if they are far away,' still resonates. It is worth mentioning that there are many accompanying tombs in Maoling, including the tombs of ministers such as Huo Qubing and Huo Guang. Personally, I really like Huo Qubing, who is undoubtedly a war god in my mind. Explaining these exciting stories to children in such a place makes the speakers enthusiastic and the listeners enjoy it, achieving the goal of learning history.

On the last day, we focused on eating and strolled around Huimin Street and Yongxing Square. Relatively speaking, Huimin Street is more famous in Xi'an, but the food on Huimin Street is expensive and not delicious. Instead, I prefer Yongxing Fang. Yongxing Fang was once the mansion of Wei Zheng in the Tang Dynasty, with a strong historical and cultural atmosphere. It is worth exploring and tasting some authentic Xi'an specialty food. The most impressive thing for me is Chang'an braised pig trotters, which is very good. Don't miss it.

We stayed overnight at the Li Cheng Yi Hotel in Xi'an, and the hotel staff thoughtfully brought us fruit plates and even brought some toys for my child, which was quite heartwarming. Thinking of leaving Xi'an the next day, we even went to the Bell and Drum Tower to enjoy the night view of Xi'an again.

Finally, we present our itinerary for the past few days:
