Every place in Xi'an, in the streets and alleys, is filled with his heritage, including the classics of the prosperous Tang Dynasty and the aesthetic lingering legacy of Chang' an.
It is not enough to go to Xi'an many times. I touch the six-hundred-year-old city wall and see it coming like golden swords and iron horses during the day, and the fairy sleeves of colorful clothes and feather clothes fluttering at night.
This trip lasted three days and two nights. I saw Xi'an today and felt Chang' an yesterday.
This trip to Xi'an was a weekend +1 day leave. There is another very important reason why I chose to come to Xi'an on weekends. In addition to Xi'an being able to take a train from Beijing in the evening and leave for two full days to play: there are too many tourists in Xi'an during holidays ~ On this ordinary weekend in November, we felt the surging crowds at the Terracotta Warriors and the Shaanxi History Museum. It was hard to imagine the magnificent scene of the holidays.
Qin Shihuang Mausoleum Museum (Terracotta Warriors)
I had read the very popular online "Xi'an is a very interesting city, the attractions and scammers are very interesting" before, and I realized that there were people who dug holes and pretended to be terracotta warriors! While being shocked, I also reminded myself to have a long mind during my trip to Xi'an.
Xi'an Bell Tower Sende Hotel
This hotel was selected by Mr. Hedo, selecting one by one from many hotels, and finally choosing this hotel. This should be the one with the best overall value for money. The hotel has a good location. It is in the center of Xi'an City. Because the Bell Tower is the center, the hotel is on the east side of the Bell Tower, and the subway exit is just at the entrance of the hotel, making it convenient to go anywhere. The surrounding area is commercial streets. If you can't get to Hui Street, it only takes five minutes. Don't be too convenient.
The staff at the front desk were very enthusiastic when checking in. They were all beautiful young ladies in Hanfu. We brought lemonade and coffee and talked to them about the itinerary, because we had already planned the itinerary and took the opportunity to enrich it. The hotel staff were very considerate and took our heavy luggage and delivered it to our room after the room was opened. Very thoughtful and grateful!
It feels high-end and the room has intelligent controls. I really like the assistant of "Sende" very much,"hi, Sende puts on the music","hi, Sende turns on the lights","hi, Sende turns off the lights","hi, Sende..." I had a great time!
Stayed in the Bell Tower View Room, which was very comfortable and the service was very good. The interior facilities of the room are clean and tidy, the overall sound insulation effect is good, and the curtains are very private. The quilt smells of sunshine, so it must have been freshly dried.
The key hotel to stay in is a key cultural relic protection unit, which has a great historical heritage!
After settling down, it was still early, so I just needed to go to Hui Street to retrieve blood ~
Huimin Street
Because the Bell Tower is very close to Hui Street, it doesn't matter if we leave later on a few minutes 'walk.
There are many citizens and tourists resting and playing on the steps, very leisurely.
Not far away is Hui Street, and the people are also super! Level! More! Although it is said that the food on Huimin Street is to deceive foreign tourists and the taste is average, it is still my first time to visit Xi'an.
There were long queues at the entrance of Internet celebrity stores. They didn't like to join in the fun, so they picked one randomly. Mr. Duo ordered mutton steamed buns, and I wanted cold rice dumplings.
Roujiamo is beef and has an average taste, but mutton steamed buns are quite delicious.
After eating, I started drinking pomegranate juice
There are also many snacks I want to experience, but the things I have eaten before are too practical and there is no room in my stomach, which is disappointing.
Xi'an city wall
I wanted to take a taxi to the ancient city wall, but the Hui Street was full of black taxis, and taxis did not count on the meter. Fortunately, they were not far away, so I'd better take a bus.
The ancient city wall of Xi'an is the most complete city wall in China. It passes through the high entrances of the city wall several times during the day, and there is always a wonderful feeling of traveling through a tunnel of time.
Standing on the ancient city wall of Xi'an, I can't help but remember that Liang Sicheng once said that Beijing's ancient city wall could be used as a people's park for the masses to play cards and play chess, which is so great; Ma Weidu also said that Beijing's ancient city wall could be opened to traffic in several lanes in both directions, but it's a pity that none of us have the chance to see it in person.
In the distance, the bell tower is not far away. Xi'an is a magical city. High-rise buildings and ancient buildings are well integrated. Although the ancient buildings are covered with modern neon lights, they do not feel inconsistent at all.
When I looked up and saw the full moon hanging above the pavilion in the sky, I realized that it was another sixteen. If I have no culture, I can only say that it's so good. If I were an ancient person, I would recite it if I wanted to.
Poetry is here.
It's time to hate that the lens is not long enough. However, although there is no telephoto, there are many retouching software on the mobile phone, so if it's not enough, it's just a big photo! How bold a person is, how productive the land is! As big as the heart is, as big as the moon is! I just asked if you were strong! Surprised! Be convinced or not!
When I returned to the hotel in the evening, I saw that the lights of the Bell Tower were very beautiful. It was so beautiful.
The rooftop rooftop of the Sende Hotel is a good place to take a view of the night scene, but it's a bit messy to take pictures at night.
Sleep soundly at night.
the next day
Although breakfast is a simple meal, it is not enough at all. Meat, eggs, vegetables and fruits are very nutritious.
Let's go to the Terracotta Warriors Museum
It takes a long way from the entrance to the exhibition hall. The leaves are yellow, which is nice. It doesn't feel boring when walking. It's much better than Chaka Salt Lake (you can hit me with black tea anytime).
Pit 1 to visit first is the largest and most spectacular.
On an ordinary weekend, there are also three floors inside and three floors outside. Although it is expected that there will be no shortage of tourists to one of the Eight Wonders of the World, I didn't expect there to be so many. The guide said that the legal holidays were even more exaggerated. On October 3 last year, nearly 120,000 tourists were received. Tourists were queuing in the square for a long time and could not enter the exhibition hall.
The guide said that if it was a working day, you could still see staff repairing the terracotta warriors on site.
Except for important foreign heads of state, ordinary people are not allowed to trap them, so the photos of the trap are all... fake. There are terracotta warriors and horses for taking photos in pits 3 and 2. The price is 10 yuan per person. I rushed Mr. Duo to take two photos. Yes, it means "rush over"
There are also some famous figurines that can be visited up close (if you can squeeze into the crowd). The commentator carefully explained the details of each figure. For example, the patterns of the soles are different from the front to back and back and in the middle.
The windows in the exhibition hall shaped like copper chariots and horses, like
bronze chariots and horses
Lintong produces pomegranate, and pomegranate juice is sold everywhere. I had a cup before visiting, but after the visit, I couldn't help but have another cup.
The cat in the Imperial Mausoleum has been waiting for a long time but won't give him a straight face
It was already noon, and there were many eating places at the entrance of the scenic area. I took a casual bite. The owner claimed to be biangbiang noodles. Seeing that other biangbiang noodles did not seem to contain soup, I don't know if it counted.
Following the map, I still couldn't find the stop for the No. 5 tour. When I saw the blue and green bus, I got on it. Although the price was not expensive, it didn't take the highway and many people didn't have seats, so it was still a bit annoying.
In fact, I didn't have any expectations for the Terracotta Warriors before I went, but I was really shocked to see it. The ancients more than 2,000 years ago already had such skills, and national pride gushed out. Of course, I couldn't help but sigh at Qin Shihuang's ability to waste money and people.
Return to hotel in the afternoon
Yongning gate
Yongning Gate is very close to the Drum Tower, so go out and have a look.
You can see the ancient city wall when you walk out of this seemingly cultural place. When you arrive at night, you will realize that it is the main south gate (Yongning Gate).
It was late when I returned to the hotel, so I went to bed early.
the third day
Shaanxi History Museum
Morning! A white-haired grandma is more suitable for the old house near her "home".
I asked the hotel front desk about which spicy soup nearby was delicious, and I drank the spicy soup that I had been longing for.
After dinner, I quickly took a taxi to the Shaanxi History Museum. Whether it is called Shengbo or Shaanxi Bo, the locals call it Libo. After discovering this "secret", they feel good.
I just remembered the day before that I didn't have an appointment, and I couldn't make an appointment anymore. I thought I'd go in after a while, but when I arrived at the museum entrance, I was shocked. How many people were there? The line of three or four people was hundreds of meters long. Since when does everyone like visiting museums so much?
Fortunately, the hotel front desk told us that it seemed that we could buy tickets for the special exhibition hall directly without queuing. After asking, it was great!
Libo is very big and has antique buildings. Give a card to the main museum.
After entering the hall, I successfully grabbed the last commentator. I couldn't be luckier.
The preface to the hall is not a text, but an embossed of Hukou Waterfall. The stone lion in the middle comes from in front of the tomb of Wu Zetian's mother Shunling. The lion does not sit or lie down, but walks. What is even more strange is that the commentator said that the stone lions in front of Shunling were not pairs, but only this one.
I bought tickets to the Tang Dynasty Heritage Exhibition Hall in order to quickly enter the museum, but it completely exceeded expectations and was super awesome. Especially on the upper third floor, there are extremely many tourists, but there are relatively few exhibitors on the basement floor, so the visiting experience is not bad.
In 1970, the three small cans below were unintentionally dug out during construction. Everyone was stunned that these three containers contained thousands of pieces of gold, silver, agate, glass and other utensils. How they were put in them? It is still unknown, but only more than 300 of them are displayed in the "Tang Dynasty Heritage" exhibition hall, and each one is very exquisite. Equally mysterious are who left these treasures behind and under what circumstances they were buried underground. Visiting with these questions is more interesting than casually looking at the exhibits before.
Gold-inlaid animal head, agate cup, national treasure, national treasure, town museum treasure, the first batch of cultural relics banned from being exported to the country, anyway, they are super powerful
The shape and color are very exquisite. In terms of shape, double corners are used to make the cup handle, and the eyes, ears, and mouth are carefully carved; in terms of color, it is cleverly carved using the beautiful color texture of jade material. It is said to be the only beautiful jade carving in the Tang Dynasty seen so far.
Golden bowl with mandarin duck lotus petals pattern, national treasure of the town museum
I photographed it so unsightly. In fact, it was super exquisite. The inner and outer walls were carved with complex, orderly and magnificent patterns. It is said that Jiang Qing once liked it very much and even borrowed it to play with it for a while. There are also the three characters "Nine Two Three" written by the Tang Dynasty in the bowl. Many cultural relics found in the three cans have weighing marks on them. It is impossible to imagine who the owner of these treasures is and why they are buried underground...
The ancients honestly didn't deceive me by saying that "the golden basin washes hands", so there really is a golden basin!
When you come to the main exhibition halls upstairs, the visiting experience is not so good. Many exhibits have several floors in front of them, so it is not easy to squeeze in. Forget the name of each exhibition hall, just introduce some of your favorites.
bronze mask
It was used to hold water in ancient times. It was nothing special at first glance, but after listening to the guide, I was really impressed.
The key point is that the four little people supporting under the tray represent slaves who have been tortured. Torsion is to cut off the prisoners 'feet. After that, they can no longer engage in heavy physical labor and can only do work such as kneeling on their backs on trays in the picture.
Now I still shudder when I think about it. It was too cruel.
There are also some authentic terracotta warriors in Libo, which can be seen very close. The photo wall behind it is a picture of the faces of some terracotta warriors. You can see that the faces of each terracotta warrior are really different!

[Big Wild Goose Pagoda] PK [Little Wild Goose Pagoda]
Leave Libo and come to Dacien Temple. Dacien Temple is the most famous and magnificent Buddhist temple in Chang 'an City. After Xuanzang returned from his study tour in the Western Regions, he served as the first host here. One can imagine its status in the Buddhist world.
The weather is gray, but it seems that this gray is the temperament of Chang 'an.
There is confidence and heritage, but the pavilions and pavilions are atmospheric but not conspicuous.
The incense flourished overseas. It feels cute to see foreigners burning incense. Do foreigners also think of us the same way when we visited famous cathedrals abroad?
This tall tower in Dacien Temple is the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. It is said that it was built personally by Xuanzang to store the scriptures and relics he brought back from India.
There are many monks in the temple, and although there are many tourists, it will not be too overwhelming.
You can climb the tower for 30 yuan. Although you like to climb and look far away, considering that there are modern buildings nearby and there seems to be little hope, I decided to go to the Xiaoyan Pagoda in the afternoon and climb the tower again... As a result, the renovation of the Little Wild Goose Pagoda was not open, and it was very happy.
Coming out of Dacien Temple, there is a famous Internet celebrity shop in Xi'an that does not have to queue up nearby. It is so touching.
I ordered the signature "No. 1 Noodle in the World", which means that a bowl of noodles has only one piece of noodles (still called a piece of noodles) without interruption. There are two kinds of stewed seafood soup and minced meat soup. The minced meat soup is not bad. The seafood soup has neither seafood nor taste good...
The other order of biangbiang noodles was strong but delicious.
Xiaoyan Pagoda (Jianfu Temple)
After a simple lunch, I took a taxi to the Little Wild Goose Pagoda.
The entrance to the park is the Xi'an City Museum. After visiting the exhibits, you will pass through a small door in the park and cross to this clean and simple place. There were some noisy shops that paid to ring prayer bells and sell red prayer strips, but in retrospect, I felt that the place was inexplicably comfortable. The next time I come to Xi'an, the place I want to visit most is Xiaoyan Pagoda Park.
Routine appearance
Walking further, I saw a group of boys wearing red Han costumes shooting arrows and taking photos in a courtyard. I wondered what kind of activity they were doing. When I entered the room, I found that there were people renting Han costumes. In the environment of the Little Wild Goose Pagoda, I wanted to rent them and play, but I was rejected by Mr. Duo, who only looked red, so I gave up.
In addition to renting Hanfu, we also have to write calligraphy and archery and other cultural experience projects. It is not bad to take children to play.
When I arrived at the foot of the Little Wild Goose Pagoda, I found that it was under repair and could not climb the pagoda. I was not happy, so I had to come back next time to realize it.
Back at the hotel, I spent more than the last hour on the comfortable sofa again, and I was about to say goodbye, Xi'an!
Just to think about it, how can it be possible to visit a place like Xi'an once?
