Only one scenic spot was arranged the next day. We slept until 8 o'clock, and we set off for Huaqing Palace around 9 o'clock. It was less than 5 kilometers away. It was very close to the hotel. Before we even reached the scenic spot, we could see a dense crowd. However, the police commanding the scene were very dedicated and guided us to park in the underground garage. Parking the car and walking on the ground, following the crowd, we invited a person to explain at the designated tour guide room of the Tourism Bureau on the right side of the gate of the scenic area. The person was 80 yuan, and the person was 8 yuan with the headset. This explanation was quite dedicated and good. Later, we got familiar with her and asked about it, and she told us that she was a tour guide in Xi'an City and mainly traveled in the direction of northern Shaanxi. Tour guides leading groups throughout Xi'an have to come to major scenic spots in Xi'an to explain when there is no tour. On the one hand, they can earn some subsidies, and on the other hand, they can make up for the shortage of explanation staff.

After entering Huaqing Palace, there were more people. The tour guide first introduced the lake at the entrance and the performance venue of the Song of Everlasting Regret. I had seen many performances, but I was not very interested in the Song of Everlasting Regret and continued to visit. In front of me is the core scenic area of Huaqing Palace. Several bathing pools are used by imperial concubines, emperors, princes, ministers, etc. The two small pools are too crowded to squeeze in. Each pool has its own fascinating story. At this time, the tour guide's explanation is very important. Otherwise, it's just to look at several abandoned bathhouses.

After looking at a few ponds, we lined up to take photos under the statue of Imperial Consort Yang. Moving forward is the relics scenic spot of the Xi'an Incident. There was also a small bubble where Duke Jiang lived, and the bullet holes of the Xi'an Incident were left on the wall of the Council Hall.

After seeing the relics of the Xi'an Incident at the foot of the mountain, we then waited for the battery car to go up the mountain. There were many people but so were the cars. After waiting for about 10 minutes, in fact, the mountain was the place where Chiang Kai-shek escaped from during the Xi'an Incident. It was not easy for Chiang Kai-shek. He was nearly fifty years old and wore pajamas. After running so many mountain roads and climbing the mountain wall, it seemed that he could realize his potential even more when he was in a hurry! After watching the remonstrance pavilion and catching Jiang Yan for more than 10 minutes, they returned the way they came and lined up to wait for the battery car. In fact, the ticket also includes several attractions in Mount Li, but at first glance, it is necessary to climb high, so there is no interest in climbing mountains on a hot day. I took a bus directly down the mountain, bought two cups of Antler Lane, and slowly walked out of the scenic spot.


At 11:30, I navigated to the nearby Lintong Impression for dinner. This restaurant received rave reviews on the Internet. It is about 1 kilometer away from Huaqing Palace by driving. You can park on the non-motor vehicle lane next to the car, but you should be careful if the parking space is too narrow. When I entered the restaurant, there was a table available and I ordered 5 dishes in one go. It was a failure. I estimated that 3 people could eat enough with two dishes. As a result, the crispy meat was basically untouched. The sauce dragon bones and gourd chicken were packed, and the vegetables and cakes were not eaten. It was quite a waste. I only paid for more than 100 points. If I didn't order more, the per capita consumption at this place would only be 20-30 yuan. It was delicious and affordable. The good reviews came from the value for money.

Before 13:00 after eating, I went directly to the hotel to rest. I originally planned to revisit the Terracotta Warriors, but seeing the dense crowd today, my appetite for swimming was greatly reduced. I went back to the hotel to take a nap, swim, and stay in the next few days. Going to Gannan Tibetan areas will not be easy, so I should recuperate first and take a rest.

At night, I drove out and found half of the building about 1 kilometer away from the hotel. It was a restaurant where villagers did business in the village and ate stews. A catty of local chicken, a catty of ribs, and several vegetables cost about 160 yuan. The taste was okay, but the green leafy vegetables were stewed for a long time and were too spicy. I had diarrhea the next morning.

I went back to the hotel to watch TV in the evening and eliminated the packed gourd chicken and sauce dragon bones. The gourd chicken was really delicious.
