Speaking of which, we will look at Shenzhen in 30 years, Beijing in 300 years, and Xi'an in 300 years!

The primary purpose of this trip to Xi'an is to enjoy delicious food, and the second is to visit the splendid cultural heritage of the ancient capital. There is a classic saying in the tourism industry: "Look at Quanzhou on the ground, and look at Xi'an underground." When we arrive in Xi'an, what we must not miss are those ancient and exquisite unearthed cultural relics, so the museum has become the main attraction for our visit to Xi'an.

As one of the world's four major ancient civilizations, several ancient cities have emerged in China, but no city can be like Xi'an, which has a history of being a capital in 13 dynasties and more than 4,000 years of being a city. Countless historical buildings and cultural monuments remain in this ancient city, attracting tourists from home and abroad, just to explore the traces of history ~

Xi'an has four distinct seasons, and each season has its own unique beauty. There are flower belts in the Ring Park in spring, water features in Qujiang River in summer, ginkgo trees in Hanyang Mausoleum in autumn, and heavy snow in Chang 'an City in winter.

Start this journey

I arrived in Xi'an one day earlier, but I arrived too late, so I didn't have time to play and there was no need to introduce myself. I could just start the next day. However, the price of a flight from Chongqing to Xi'an at night is very beautiful. You can fly to 168. One of the advantages of the night is that you can enjoy the night view of the ancient city. I have to say that the plain city and the mountain city of Chongqing have completely different feelings when viewed from the sky at night. Very interesting ~

After arriving at Xianyang Airport, you can take a bus directly to downtown Xi'an. The fare is 25 yuan and the running time is about 50 minutes. One special point is emphasized here: taxis at Xianyang Airport do not run on the meter! It's up to you to negotiate it yourself, but personally I think it's better to sit in the big bar at night. However, the Sende Bell Tower Hotel we stayed at provides pick-up service. It takes more than an hour to reach the Bell Tower in the center of Xi'an City. The hotel we booked is here, just one road away from the Bell Tower.

Xi'an Zhonglou Sen Hotel

The hotel chose this place after repeated review of many strategies. This place is close to more than 80% of the must-check places in Xi'an, and can be reached within a few minutes to ten minutes on foot. And there is a subway entrance at the entrance of the hotel, and there are two subway lines. As for the transportation, don't be too luxurious. When making the strategy, we selected one by one from many hotels and finally chose this one. This one should be the one with the best overall cost performance.

Xi'an Bell Tower Sende Hotel

From the outside, the hotel's decoration is quite Western-style, somewhat like an American hotel. When you walk in, you feel a little different. Whether it is color matching and lighting, it feels very warm.

There is a smart voice assistant in the room, and all electrical appliances can be controlled.

The room has all the facilities. The washing supplies in the bathroom are neatly placed on the sink-toothbrush, shower cap, cotton swabs, comb, toilet paper, body wash, shampoo, slippers, towels, and bath towels.

After a busy day, take a hot bath and sleep comfortably.

The entrance of Hui People Street is Xi'an Drum Tower. The allusions to the morning bells and evening drums are also clear to everyone. This is the place where drums were sounded in ancient times to inform the people in the city to rest. But it doesn't look very beautiful during the day, so I come back at night and focus on it.

Huajue Lane, a check-in trip to a small commodity street

The entrance of Huajue Lane is right here at the entrance of Gulou on Hui Street. The most famous thing about Huajue Lane is probably the mosque in the alley. In fact, there are several mosques in the entire Huifang. Huajue Lane is not the most famous one. Moreover, Huajue Lane Mosque still charges tickets, which doesn't feel very good. If you are interested in this aspect, you can go to the University Xixiang Mosque. It is free and has a more historical feel ~

Mutton steamed buns, how to do it ~

Just like hot pot when you mention Chongqing, mutton steamed buns, as a famous brand in Xi'an, need to check in. Whether you are used to eating it or not, you can at least feel the food culture of this land. According to the introduction of a friend in Xi'an, I chose Lao Sunjia Paomo Main Store at No. 40, Xiyangshi Street, Huifangli. Facts have proved that the store recommended by the locals is still very reliable and the taste is really good, which makes me, who doesn't like pasta food, eat a big bowl.

Moreover, the decoration style of the store is also first-class on Hui Street. On the wall leading to the entrance are two rows of photos of old Xi'an, which are from the 1930s to the beginning of this century. It can be regarded as giving foreign tourists a very intuitive understanding of Xi'an's historical process. If you go further inside, you will find the back hall, which is relatively quieter.

The price at this Lao Sun's house is also very reasonable. I quietly told everyone: This store has always had group purchases. A beef steamed buns only cost 9.8 yuan, and a small fried steamed buns cost 10.8 yuan. In Huifang, this price is not so beautiful?

Breaking steamed buns is a very meticulous manual job that requires you to be patient and operate slowly. If you are skilled, you will break the steamed buns into small grains of uniform size and cook them for a flat night, without any feeling of different sizes and odd-shaped shapes. But I can't do it. Compared with other people's, it's just a bunch of random pieces. It's embarrassing ~

Dear friends, can you break steamed buns? Come and communicate ~

Some of the most beautiful places at night, Drum Tower

Drum Tower, a place where its light has been buried. When you mention Xi'an, everyone will think of the Bell Tower immediately and ask where to go when you come to Xi'an. Bell Tower, Hui Street, City Wall, Terracotta Warriors, Huashan, etc. Few people will talk about the Drum Tower across the street from Bell Tower, so today I want to name the Drum Tower!

Drum Tower is located on West Street at the intersection of four streets in the center of Xi'an, west, north and south, which is the northwest of the Bell Tower. It has a history of more than 600 years and is one of the largest and most completely preserved towers among the many Gulou left over from ancient China.

The Drum Tower is most beautiful at night. The lights of the row of houses next to it and the scenery of the Drum Tower itself are much more beautiful than during the day. Although it is not convenient for mobile phones to take photos at night, with the artifact of Zhiyun smooth-q, you can easily take good photos at night. The key point is to take videos and start live broadcasts.

The Drum Tower is located at the entrance of Hui Street. Tourists should pay attention to their words and property safety when they come here. After all, there are too many people in Hui Street.

In fact, the Drum Tower at night is really more beautiful than during the day? Does it give people a solemn feeling? Moreover, this circle is not surrounded by the Bell Tower and is not allowed to enter. You can stand under the Drum Tower and experience it up close, or you can take selfies with it at will. The Drum Tower is a more intimate one ~

Through the automatic adjustment function of the Zhiyun stabilizer, the mobile phone can also take night pictures

The city's darling-Bell Tower!

Then the Drum Tower is of course the Bell Tower. As the city symbol of Xi'an, the Bell Tower is a collection of thousands of favors. Whether it is the sign on the subway card or the ranking of tourist attractions, the Bell Tower is demonstrating its identity as the symbol of Xi'an. That is why I said that in contemporary buildings, the Drum Tower has really been wronged compared to the Bell Tower for many years.

The same is true for the Bell Tower. It feels much more beautiful at night than during the day. Therefore, although you can't climb the building at night, I still recommend coming here to play at night. After all, there is nothing to see when climbing. Of course, if time permits, you can also go up and have a look during the day, and then come back at night.

The half-hour to an hour when the sky is just dark is called the "Blue Moment". If you hold your mobile phone camera and take a photo of the sky, it will be blue and transparent. If you have a tripod, you can take a circle of car tracks, which is even more charming with the night view of ancient buildings.

After filming the Bell Tower, I felt a little tired, so I went back to the hotel

There is no sound when walking on the carpet in the hotel corridor. No wonder you can't hear it in the room.

I came down to the hotel's cafeteria early the next morning for breakfast. The restaurant was very large and the dishes were more Western.

The hotel's buffet is also excellent, with exquisite workmanship, a wide variety of varieties and good taste.

D2、

Witness of the ancient city of Xi'an-City Wall

There are a total of four gates and several wall climbing points in the Xi'an City Wall. The Yongning Gate I came to this time is just one of them, which is often referred to as the South Gate, but the plaque on the city wall is engraved with the words "Yongning Gate". According to the introduction on the stone tablet under the city wall: Yongning Gate is the oldest gate in China. This can also be seen from the plaque that it is particularly ancient. The most primitive Xi'an City Wall was destroyed in the long river of history and was not rebuilt until the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, the Xi'an City Wall we see today is basically from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but the Yongning Gate is actually preserved. Ancient city wall, so it is very meaningful. The entrance ticket for Yongning Gate is 54 yuan, and the student ID card is 27 yuan at half price. This price is the same for all entrance points on the city wall in Xi'an.

The sun is still a little out today, so there are some old people walking along the river. In fact, having someone to rely on is the greatest happiness in old age. I hope that all the elderly in China can take a walk around like this and not worry about food and clothing ~

Looking from the opposite bank, the entire city wall still gives people a good feeling

One of the Eight Immortals, it is known as the most effective Taoist temple in Xi'an-Xiangzi Temple!

The ancient capital of the three dynasties and the ancient city of three thousand years have been passed down to today's Xi'an! There is an old saying: Xi'an is full of monuments! Although this is exaggerated, it is also reasonable. Xi'an has many scenic spots and historic sites, not only the Bell and Drum Tower, the City Wall and the Terracotta Warriors. Not to mention anything else, Xiangzi Temple in this alley is a good place!

If you come to Xiangzimiao as soon as possible, the transportation method will be the same as to the South Gate City Wall; take Line 2 to [Yongningmen Station], enter Xiangzimiao Street and go straight for 100 meters to reach it. There is a big archway here, which can be seen far away.

Beilin Museum

Xi'an Forest of Steles Museum is the largest Forest of Steles calligraphy memorial hall in China. The number of steles and epitaph collected ranks first in the country, and the collection is very rich, spanning more than 2000 years. The entire museum area consists of three parts: the Confucian Temple, the Forest of Steles, and the Ancient Chinese Stone Carving Art Exhibition

The Forest of Steles Museum is under the city wall of Xi'an. There is no direct bus, but the transportation is also very convenient

D3, follow me and set out ~

The Drama Culture Square is an unpopular attraction. It is located next to the South Square of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, separated by a road. However, because the attractions are too small and small, no one has mentioned them online. This time, it was also a chance opportunity to discover that there were many words on the ground introducing drama culture, and there were also facial masks on the pillars to watch, but this facial style was quite scary.

Dayan Pagoda South Square

The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is divided into north and south squares, but many tourists go to the north square and leave immediately after taking a look at the music fountain. It is a pity that they miss the scenery of the south square. There are many shops selling snacks, souvenirs, and kites in the passage between the South Square and the North Square. The prices are relatively reasonable. If you are interested, you can buy a sugar figure to eat and play. I can only take a bus when I come from Qujiang, but it is very convenient now if I come from the city. Take Metro Line 3 directly to the "Big Wild Goose Pagoda" Station, and you can get off at Exit C and pass through Dacien Temple.

The main attractions on the south square are Dacien Temple and the Tang Xuanzang sculpture. There are also many literati sculptures in the middle of the north and south squares, all of which are worth slowly appreciating.

D4. Play some super exciting itinerary today

city Sports Park

Since you are in Xi'an, in addition to the historical relics in Xi'an, you must also experience the modernity and passion of Xi'an.

Lehua Joy World is the largest roller coaster theme park in Asia and the largest and most complete amusement park in the five northwest provinces; It is located in Jinghe New City, Xianyang New District, Xi'an City, far away from the urban area of Xi'an. However, Lehua Joy World provides free bus transfers, so transportation is still very convenient. Take Metro Line 2 in the city and get off at [Urban Sports Park] Station. Exit D and walk 100 meters north to the bus point of Lehua World. The first bus leaves at 8 o'clock every day and runs every half an hour.

It is worth mentioning that the small map issued by the Tourist Service Center must be left behind, because the area of the park is too large, and it is easy to get confused without a map. The gate is very big and beautiful, and there are clowns and dolls dancing at the gate. After entering the gate, you can see many rides, of course, the most of which are roller coasters. After all, it is the largest roller coasters theme park in Asia. The entire amusement park is divided into several sections: play area, commercial area, and performing arts theater. Go straight along the road for 500 meters to officially enter the play area. There are jumping machines, eight-ring roller coasters, pendulum, lightning roller coasters, upside down roller coasters, carousels, rapids, haunted houses and other facilities. The most exciting ones are the "jumping machines" and the "lightning roller coasters". The jumping machines are more than ten meters tall and fall instantly when they reach the highest point. It makes your heart stop.

Lehua's commercial district is also very complete, mainly souvenir shops and restaurants, but the prices are much higher than outside, so it is recommended to bring your own drinking water and a small amount of food. The Performing Arts Theater has China's largest 4D giant screen movie to watch, which is played every half an hour, but it is very short, only ten minutes. There is also a circus to watch in Lehua, but it is not open to the public now. I wonder if I can watch it next time.

City Wall Night

Most of the attractions in Xi'an are more beautiful at night than during the day. The same is true for the city wall. The city wall looks thick during the day, but the city wall looks charming at night.

Walking along the moat from outside the South Gate City Wall, you can see various buildings such as the ancient city, watchtowers, arrow towers, and ancient bridges. Fortunately, you can also see a small canopy boat sailing under the bridge, which has a special artistic conception.

D5. Xi'an is not just the Big Wild Goose Pagoda

small wild goose Pagoda

The morning bells and evening drums of the eight scenic spots in Guanzhong are located in this Little Wild Goose Pagoda

The Little Wild Goose Pagoda is located in Jianfu Temple in Beilin District, Xi'an City. Although the Little Wild Goose Pagoda is not as big and far less famous as the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, the environment here is peaceful and incomparable to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. After all, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is full of people and people all day long, making it very noisy; The Little Wild Goose Pagoda is thirteen stories high, and its unique architectural technology and beautiful scenery also have a unique beauty in this ancient city. No tickets are charged to visit the Little Wild Goose Pagoda below. You can get a free ticket with your ID card, just like a museum. However, to climb the pagoda, you have to buy a 30-yuan ticket. Personally, you don't think it is necessary to climb the pagoda. There is nothing to read except some introduced documents. The closing time of the Little Wild Goose Pagoda is 5 p.m., so the time is arranged reasonably. Next to the scenic spot is the Xi'an City Museum. Tickets are not required, so you can visit it on the way

A must-check place to travel to Xi'an-Provincial Expo!

Shaanxi History Museum is the largest history museum in northwest China. I suggest that everyone must visit Xi'an. Here is the most detailed history of the Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang Dynasties. Those with historical knowledge will feel that there is a special history and culture here. Friends who don't understand history can find an explanation. In fact, it's okay not to find one. Follow the guide hired by others, and you can also hear the detailed explanation. Take Bus No. 5 to Cuihua Road Station and walk for a while; or take Metro Line 2 to Xiaozhai Station and walk for more than 100 meters along the road. Xi'an's buses and subways are too crowded to move, so you must be careful of pickpockets. As mentioned earlier, we mentioned asking for a guide. The Shaanxi History Museum's explanation costs 100 yuan each, which is very detailed. If financial conditions permit, you can hire one; there is also a voice explanation, which rents machines at 30 yuan per unit and a deposit of 200 yuan. Tickets here are free, but try to go early, because a limited number of 4000 free admission tickets are issued every day, 2500 in the morning and 1500 in the afternoon. They can be collected with their ID card until they are issued. If you go late, although there is generally no situation where you don't have tickets, you will have to queue up for a long time.

The entire museum is divided into three parts, the main building in the middle and side buildings on both sides. The main building is divided into two floors, with three exhibition halls on each floor. There are several terracotta warriors, various porcelain, bronzes, etc. There are many historical collections that make people dizzying.

Although transportation around the History Museum is convenient, eating and drinking is not very convenient. It takes a long walk to eat; but it is not too far from the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. It takes only ten minutes to walk and the starting price of a taxi is up. You can go to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda on the way to play. I hope you travel in a civilized manner and do not litter and turn on flashlights to shoot cultural relics.

The place I want to see most during this trip-Datang Furong Garden

Because the Big Wild Goose Pagoda Scenic Area is next to the Tang Dynasty Furong Garden Scenic Area and Qujiang Park, it is recommended that you go to Qujiang Park to play in the afternoon, and then go to the Tang Dynasty Furong Garden to watch the most famous "Water Curtain Movie" and Lantern Festival at night. After watching it, you can also go to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda Square to watch the music fountain. This route will definitely make you enjoy it.

The long-lost journey is finally over, and the thousand-year-old capital has fully recovered its heart and will come again.
