"Chang 'an looked back at the piles of embroidery, and thousands of doors on the top of the mountain opened one after another." Facing the Qinling Mountains in the south and the Wei River in the north, Chang 'an's ancient charm is layered with the style of two thousand years after the Qin, Han and Tang Dynasties. It has an irreplaceable position in the hearts of every Chinese son and daughter. If you can have a few or two days of leisure, you will have to go there sooner or later. Taking advantage of my official duties over the weekend, I set foot on the land of Sanqin again before Mengdong.

On the first day, we will meet friends on the night of arriving in the west, enjoy leisure travel after official business in the afternoon of the second and third days, and return on the fourth day. I successively went to Xi'an Jiaotong University, Qujiangchi, Bell and Drum Tower, Huimin Street, and Qiaozikou. The experiences and feelings of the four days are summarized as follows:

1. The environment and style of streets and scenic spots are good. Decorations of red lanterns and Chinese knots are decorated on lamp posts on many streets, usually maintaining a festive atmosphere; the ancient lamp posts, the Ming Emperor Plank Road, the embossed along the way, pavilions, and garden green spaces all imply an intangible sense of design and the beauty lies in it.

The fly in the ointment is that there are many hutongs and alleys on the west side of Bell and Drum Tower, which are also delicious snacks similar to Hui Street. However, pipeline or road construction is being carried out on the narrow roads at the same time. Construction machinery and earthworks completely ignore pedestrians. The notice is in poor condition and there are safety risks. It is recommended that safety issues should be considered to separate the construction site from pedestrians and vehicles when it is constructed with open circuit closure or half-width traffic.

2. The urban traffic situation is worrying, and public transportation needs to be improved urgently. There are no empty taxis at all when waving and stopping on the roadside, and the success rate of booking a taxi is less than 60%. Among them, there are two cases in which the double conditions of "picking up the meter and red envelopes" were added to the order. In other cases, no one picked up even the red envelopes, so we had to change to the bus; the minimum interval between buses is 5 minutes, and 8-15 minutes is the norm. Almost every bus enters the station, there are many people waiting to get on the bus. At least half of the passengers in the carriage are standing, which is quite full and even crowded. Whether it is weekdays (Fridays, Mondays) or weekends (Saturdays and Sundays), road traffic congestion is also the norm, and it is normal to drive 30-45 minutes for a 5-6-kilometer journey. The cost of travel time is beyond imagination, which seriously affects the rhythm and quality of travel.

3. The epidemic prevention work is relatively rigorous. Taxis and buses require each passenger to scan the itinerary code (Xi'an One Code Pass), and drivers take the initiative to remind passengers and check them one by one; however, passengers also need to scan the code to make payments, so the boarding speed is seriously affected. You can learn from Beijing's public transport safety officers to check in advance at the station, or check one by one after all passengers on the train, so as to reduce artificial congestion and blockages. No one on the subway reminds or checks passengers to scan the itinerary code. The tightness of public transportation work varies greatly, and the rigorous epidemic prevention of taxis and buses is offset by the subway.

4. There is no need to elaborate on Xi'an's food. Whether it is in a star-rated hotel or a roadside restaurant, it can satisfy the appetite of many gluttons.

5. The airport has a good sense of service, and the shuttle bus actively serves passengers passing through the terminal station; before boarding, I left my personal belongings on the seat in the terminal area due to a phone call. After contacting the Lost and Found Office, I quickly found them and called back. I returned the picture for confirmation, and at the same time told the courier phone number and pickup number so that it would be convenient to send it back from the courier company.
