written in front

I went to Xi'an a few years ago. Due to time constraints, it was only a transit place, so I had very few places to visit. However, it seemed to have left a deep impression on Xi'an, an ancient city. This time before the New Year, I came to Xi'an again and checked in a few must-visit places that I had not been to. This time, I really captured the delicious food and beauty of Xi'an.
Our itinerary:
Day 1 Xi'an City Wall Lantern Festival, Ramada Hotel

The first is the Lantern Festival in Xi'an, which is so impressive that I have to mention the first one to write.
The several lantern festivals we visited, including Xi'an City Wall Lantern Festival, Huaqing Palace, Tang Dynasty Furong Garden, Tang Dynasty Sleepless City, etc. The artistic attainments of these lantern festivals were really high, which made it quite amazing for knowledgeable travelers like you to watch!

Xi'an City Wall Lantern Festival
The first thing we visited was the Xi'an City Wall Lantern Festival, which happened to coincide with the lighting ceremony of the City Wall Lantern Festival. That is to say, the day we went, the Xi'an City Wall Lantern Festival just opened to welcome the public. At first, I was not very interested in the lantern festival, but I lacked some interest. I thought they should all be similar. Perhaps it is because I have seen other ordinary lantern festivals, especially the lantern festival in my hometown of Chongqing. They are too "concise" and have nothing new to disappoint. But who knew that as soon as I entered the Xi'an City Wall Lantern Festival, I was instantly excited. It was really beautiful! Not only the beautiful shape of the lights, but also those wonderful performances and cute dolls shuttling through the crowd are very eye-catching!

The beginning was the leader's speech and opening performance. Many cute babies 'dances were particularly popular. Their lively and lovely appearance, their red little faces, and their jubilant costumes made the surrounding officials laugh. Then after entering the park, there were performances of flying in the sky. The fairies with graceful figures allowed the viewing officials to pass through them. There were also cute dolls such as the God of Wealth who also took photos with people with smiles.

This time in Xi'an, I went to Yongxing Square. Hey, let alone say, it really made people eat and have fun! Those snacks with local characteristics of Shaanxi cannot be tasted enough at once!
Yongxing Square, originally the former site of Wei Zheng's Mansion in the Tang Dynasty, is now a popular leisure and tourism destination that combines tradition and fashion and combines various delicacies in Guanzhong, southern Shaanxi and northern Shaanxi. The very famous bowl of wine on the Internet here can throw away worries, bad luck, heroism, and good fortune; Zhashui potato glutinous rice cake is an "intangible cultural heritage.

One or two then it becomes sticky, soft, boneless, and there are various ways to eat, salty, sour, spicy and sweet, and the taste is endless; there are also white flint soup, which is heated by various stones and then cooked at high temperature.

Daqin Xiaoyan
Xi'an's Qin culture-themed restaurant-Daqin Xiaoyan is located in the core area of Lintong Zhiyang Square. It is a creative restaurant with the theme of Qin culture.

Each dish is served by a waiter in Qin costumes to order and introduce the dishes; the uniqueness is also the menu. Guests can use the "Jade Seal" to stamp a big seal as a souvenir! Daqin Xiaoyan is only 17 kilometers away from Xi'an, and only ten minutes' drive from Lishan, Huaqing Pool, and Terracotta Warriors. While appreciating the relics of Lintong's Daqin Civilization, I can come to the Daqin Small Banquet to experience the authentic Daqin food culture and feel its broad mind that embraces all rivers.

Drunken Chang 'an (Zhuba City Store)
Zui Chang 'an (Zhuba City Store) is a very good Shaanxi restaurant. It has a good address and location. It is just south of Zhuba City where Meihao Hotel is. Outside the alley, you will find the Bell Tower on West Street. Turn right and you will find the Bell Tower. Convenient transportation.

The environment here is good, the store is huge, the restaurant is basically full, and the service is also first-class. The dishes here are rich, mainly local Shaanxi cuisine, but also combined with high-quality dishes from other places.

We ate a lot of dishes today, all of which are classic, and the dishes are very exquisite and beautiful, changing the previous image of rough and dry Shaanxi cuisine. The tripe dish for drying clothes is very creative, the gourd chicken is also crispy and delicious, and the dessert: the wonderful brush and flowers are beautiful, delicious and poetic. In addition, the thick wine he brewed at home is particularly delicious. It reminds me of it, and I almost drool, haha! Eating Lao Shaanxi cuisine will definitely make Chang 'an drunk.

At the same time, I also wish China an early victory over the pneumonia epidemic, and China will win!
