For many people, the best time to travel to Xi'an is in the spring and autumn seasons, with March-May and September-November being the best. But for me who grew up in the south, my favorite is Xi'an in winter. Nothing is more exciting than seeing a winter snow in the ancient capital.

In winter, the temperature in Xi'an is low, it is bitterly cold when the wind is windy, and occasionally it is foggy. You must pay attention to keeping warm. However, there are relatively few tourists during this period, and accommodation fees and tickets have also been reduced compared with the peak season. My friends who want to travel to Xi'an in winter follow me to explore the winter in the ancient capital.

must-see attractions in Xi'an:

As the ancient capital of the thirteen dynasties, even the air of Xi'an is filled with a historical atmosphere. There are countless scenic spots and historic sites, and there are also many must-check-in attractions. If you want to make a general tour, you will not be able to visit it in four or five days.

Based on my own travel experience and preferences, I recommend must-see attractions: Terracotta Warriors, Bell and Drum Tower, Ancient City Wall, Tang Dynasty Sleepless City, Shaanxi History Museum, Maoling, Yongxingfang and Huaqing Palace. Among them, the Terracotta Warriors and History Museum recommends finding a tour guide to explain, otherwise if you can't understand the story behind the cultural relics, it will be a waste of time to go. It is not too expensive and you can work together.

In addition, if you have time, you can go to places such as Big and Small Wild Goose Pagoda, Zhaoling, Tang Dynasty Furong Garden, and Hukou Waterfall. Of course, you can also spend a day climbing Huashan alone. Going to the "Huashan Sword Discussion" can last you a lifetime.

My favorite of these attractions is Maoling because I like Huo Qubing. Maoling is the mausoleum of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, next to it is the burial tombs of Huo Qubing and other meritorious ministers. It is worth mentioning that there is a very precious stone carvings in the scenic area-Ma Tading Xiongnu, which profoundly reflects the hundreds of years of war between the Han Dynasty and Xiongnu. War scene.

Xi'an Tourism Transportation:

The airport includes Xi'an Xianyang International Airport, Xi'an Railway Station, Xi'an North Railway Station and South Railway Station. Xi'an's public transportation system is very developed. You can take public transportation to anywhere you want to go in Xi'an, and the subway network is also okay. If you plan to stay in Xi'an for a long time, you can buy or rent a Chang' an Pass, which is more cost-effective.

Xi'an accommodation recommendations:

I believe that many people will first find a hotel in Beilin District because the scenic spots are concentrated, followed by the area near the Big and Small Wild Goose Pagoda, which is convenient for transportation. There are scenic spots such as Shaanxi History Museum and Tang Dynasty Furong Garden. If you want to stay affordable, then Xi'an Youth Hostel is also a good choice.

When I go to Xi'an, I usually choose Beilin District and recommend a good one. Xi'an Orange Plaza Hotel near the Bell and Drum Tower. It is a very modern hotel from the outside, but it has a unique interior. The rooms are antique and have a touch of Chinese style. The combination of ancient charm and modernity is just right. It feels like it integrates the essence of the history and culture of the ancient capital of Xi'an. In short, it is very comfortable and you can book with confidence.

Xi'an cuisine recommendations:

According to incomplete statistics, 10 million people travel to Xi'an because of the delicacies on a certain tune such as rice bowls of wine, crisp brush brushes, and steamed buns with egg vegetables. In fact, Xi'an's delicacies are far more than that. In addition to the famous traditional delicacies such as mutton foam, cold noodles, and roujiamo, Xi'an's barbecue, gourd head, minced noodles, meatballs and spicy soup, guomen, stir-fried rice with pickled cabbage, powder soup with sheep blood, shuipin mutton, etc. are all very worthy of recommendation.

In addition, when talking about Xi'an's gourmet food concentration, everyone will immediately think of Huimin Street, followed by Xiyang City, Dapiyuan, and Dongxin Street Night Market. For me, my favorite food street is Yongxingfang, which was once the residence of Wei Zheng in the Tang Dynasty. It has a strong historical and cultural heritage. If you want to combine food with history and culture, you will explore the fireworks and market atmosphere hidden in Xi'an in the ancient capital. That is the real charm of Xi'an cuisine.
