Why Xi'an? The ancient capital of the thirteen dynasties has a strong historical color. I am a person who loves reading history, visiting old alleys, old streets and old cities, visiting museums, and loving all old things!

Why Xi'an? Speaking of Xi'an, in addition to its reputation as the "ancient capital", its delicious food is even more unique. The combination of delicious food passed down from generation to generation, tradition and innovation in cooking techniques continues to stimulate people's taste buds. I am an authentic foodie, and he thinks every shop he has never eaten is good. Both ups and downs, and all wanted to try it, but none of them would let go. So, we had this trip to Xi'an that we wanted to go.

Day 1:

On the first day I arrived in Xi'an, the receptionist arranged a hotel, which is quite famous in the local area. This was also the better hotel I stayed in during this trip.

On the door screen, there is a plaque of "List and Place" awarded by Emperor Tongzhi. Red lanterns with the words "Gao Mansion" hung high on the eaves. This is Gao Yuesong's former residence, the Gao Family Courtyard. There were endless tourists, but we only chose to pass by this time. After a day of shopping, we were a little exhausted.

Today's travel mode is no longer a "quick tour", but a slow walk to appreciate it carefully and easily enjoy every scene and object.

day 2

huaqing Palace

Huaqing Palace is not big and can be visited in half a day. It can be said to be a hot spring resort with Mount Li as the background! The scenery is good, and fortunately, it rained for a while before, but it became sunny on the day of my visit. The scenery of Huaqing Palace on a sunny day is very beautiful!

Song of Everlasting Regret Square... Thousands of years of distant history are now in front of us.

Walking up from the Song of Everlasting Regrets Square, then turning right, you will soon reach the main entrance of Huaqing Palace-Wangjingmen

Enter Huaqing Palace from Wangjing Gate and come here-Furong Garden

The panoramic view of Mount Li is actually the background of Huaqing Palace!

When I come to the imperial concubine's resort, I'll pretend to be an imperial concubine and have an orchid finger... After posing in this position, I keep getting goose skin...

The willow leaves are shaded and very cool! The bathroom here has a special name and the decoration is very Chinese. I don't want to explain it or picture it, just experience it yourself!

Changsheng Hall, where Imperial Consort Yang and Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty made their vows. There are free 6D movies inside, and you can queue up to watch them if you have time. The film tells the tragic end of Imperial Consort Yang's first entry into the palace and was so stunning that the "Sixth Palace Fandai" was coerced and killed later.

There are many koi carp swimming towards us. It's a big wave of koi. Do they think we have food? Sorry, fish, we were just passing by...

Jiulong Lake-Have you noticed the tracks on the water? In fact, it is very useful, and you will know what it is at night!

I saw another water track. What is this? Later decomposition...

This is the hot spring pool where Imperial Concubine Yang soaked in-Imperial Concubine Pool, which is equivalent to today's large bathtub!

the Terracotta Warriors and horses Museum

When you go to Xi'an, you must visit the Terracotta Warriors. It is spectacular!

To be honest, I am quite excited. I think it is an incredible thing to discover these historical relics. It feels like taking you back to the Qin Dynasty and feeling the momentum of Qin Shi Huang unifying the world... I can't explain many feelings...

Behind me is the entrance to Pit No. 1 of Terracotta Warriors. There is an exhibition hall on the right, where some cultural relics are displayed. I suggest visiting the exhibition hall first and listening to the explanation. After having a general understanding, you can visit Pit No. 1> Pit No. 2> Pit No. 3...

Pit 1

The excavation and restoration work is still in progress...

Pit No. 2-half the area of Pit No. 1, and many of them have not been excavated

Under the glass cover in the distance is the unopened pit No. 4, of unknown size. Maybe there are...

The Mausoleum of Emperor Qin Shi Huang-Lishan Garden

Lishan Garden is to visit the top of the Imperial Mausoleum. I think it is worth a visit. Boys should go and see it even more. When they go to worship Qin Shihuang, girls should worship Wu Zetian...

This is the top of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang. It has not yet been developed, and no one dares to develop it. Lishan Garden is very big, and it is easy to get lost if we walk alone."Tingting" said: There may be thousands of soldiers hidden in the underground where we step, gold, silver, jewelry, etc., which seems to show that Qin Shi Huang is still leading China, and no one dares to touch or dig...

day 3

Hanyang Mausoleum Museum

The Hanyang Mausoleum is located in Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province. It is the tomb of Liu Qi, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty. The Qianling Mausoleum is the joint burial tomb of Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty. Because the underground palace of the tomb cannot be excavated, we cannot see it. However, the Hanyang Mausoleum is a fully enclosed underground museum that well preserves the original appearance of the underground palace. The atmosphere in the underground palace is gloomy and strange, which makes people shudder. I had never been to the Terracotta Warriors before I came to the Hanyang Mausoleum. I thought the Hanyang Mausoleum was already very magnificent. It was really because ancient emperors wanted to bring everything in their lives into the other world after death, so they built the tomb since they ascended the throne. It was a little bit that it had not been repaired when I died, which shows how huge the project was.

The underground palace is surrounded by glass walls to better preserve the scene during the excavation of the underground palace. The hole on the upper left side of the picture pit is the theft hole downstairs by the tomb robbers at that time.

The loess in the tomb did not grow at all. The craftsmen at that time were afraid that plants would grow in the underground soil and damage the tomb, so they fried the loess and glutinous rice together. The loess I see now is processed, so no grass grows at all. This makes me sigh at the wisdom of mankind at that time. At present, this kind of soil belongs to the national cultural relic and is said to be sweet to eat.

The expressions of the pottery figurines are also different, and the effect of the lighting highlights the gloomy atmosphere ~

In the Tang Dynasty, it was rare for people to die. These pottery figurines were used as sacrificial objects. The five senses and expressions of the pottery figurines were clearly visible

"After thousands of years of vicissitudes, there is a prosperous cultural scene, all in the Lingque of the Han family." In fact, seeing such interiors will give people the illusion of coming to another world. I like the feeling of being there very much.

qianling

Qianling is located on Liangshan Mountain in Qian County, Xianyang City. It is the joint burial tomb of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Zhi and Wu Zetian. Qianling is the only tomb in the Tang Dynasty that has not been stolen. The underground palace has not yet been excavated, so no one knows what is in the underground palace.

At that time, Guo Moruo proposed to dig Qianling, but after many twists and turns, the country never agreed. It is said that Wang Xizhi's authentic work "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion" is in Qianling, but before the excavation of Qianling, this will always remain a mystery ~

Wu Zetian's son erected a very famous wordless stele for it. A normal inscription should have words, but due to everything Wu Zetian did, her son could not sing praises for her. Out of filial piety, he could not write anything that was not bad, so only the stele was erected but no writing.

The wordless stele of Qianling is located in the Qianling Scenic Area, on the east side of Sima Road in Qianling, opposite is the Shushengji stele. This wordless stele has appeared many times in film and television dramas. It is carved from a whole piece of jade, giving people a seamless feeling. If you look carefully at the content of the inscription, you will find a written carving "passing through here", which shows that there was a habit of "visiting here" in ancient times.

Careful people will find that the black sign says "Qianling of Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty". Although the tomb was a joint burial tomb of Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty and Wu Zetian, Wu Zetian was not mentioned at all. Because at that time, people did not recognize Wu Zetian as the emperor, they did not name her with the emperor, so they only wrote "Qianling of Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty", which is interesting to review history in detail.

famen temple

Famen Temple is known as the royal temple. It has become a Buddhist holy place that the whole country looks up to because of the placement of Sakyamuni Buddha's finger bones.

Select a few more valuable cultural relics for drawing pictures. Gilted gold and silver incense stove, dedicated to Emperor Yizong of the Tang Dynasty, was unearthed in the back room of the underground palace.

This is my favorite treasure ~ Gilted gold and silver sachet is also an incense appliance. It has a built-in flat ring. No matter how the sachet body rotates, the incense spoon always remains horizontal. This craft has been mastered by craftsmen as early as the Tang Dynasty.

The original Famen Temple was relatively small, but the underground palace of Famen Temple was under this tower. The entrance to the underground palace was very small and could only accommodate one person in and out. Every emperor personally climbed down the items worshiped and placed them in the underground palace. This is the largest underground palace under the tower ever seen. The steps of the underground palace have been sealed and can only be viewed through the glass windows. However, the coins from that time on the steps of the underground palace are still partially preserved and can be vaguely seen.

the fourth day

A trip to Huashan

Huashan Mountain, the western mountain, is the head of the five mountains. The two of us were lucky to have a sunny day. My best friend and I lacked exercise, so we decided to use the easiest route to shoot the entire Huashan Mountain. On the Xifeng cableway-under the Beifeng cableway, Xifeng--South Peak--East Peak--Middle Peak--Jinsuoguan--Canglongling--North Peak.

I must remind you that the ultraviolet rays of the sun in Huashan are very strong. I, I, I actually got sunburned. I regret it, and my intestines are blue. Just missing going to the hospital and getting disfigured. My face was peeled off several times, and then I held an umbrella in Luoyang under the sun. My face felt obviously burned and burning, which really hurt my skin. Remember to protect your face from sun protection!

What a beautiful blue sky, where can we find it? We can't wait to sigh about the fairyland ~~~

The Wei River Plain seen on the cableway is so flat ~~~ Shocking

It looks dangerous, right? It was very windy that day, and there were many hats and objects blown away on the cliff side.

There are such leaves everywhere on Huashan Mountain. It's beautiful to say ~~

Pine and cypress, blue sky as the background, look even more vibrant

Weihe plain

A pavilion for playing chess ~~

Looking at the small mountains and looking at the endless mountains, I really sigh at the magic of nature. In the distance is the Great Plains. How could it be on such a flat land?

the fifth day
hukou waterfall

Hukou Waterfall is bordered by Hukou Town, Ji County, Linfen City, Shanxi Province to the east, and Hukou Township, Yichuan County, Yan 'an City, Shaanxi Province to the west. It is a shared tourist attraction by the two provinces. It is 387 kilometers away from Taiyuan, Shanxi Province in the north and 449 kilometers away from Xi'an, Shaanxi Province in the south.

After shopping for more than three hours, I ate braised Yellow River carp in the scenic area. As I walked out at around 1 o'clock, the traffic was already very slow. It is about 7 kilometers from the Hukou Expressway to the scenic spot, and there is a long line of almost 6 kilometers.

Fortunately, I came early, otherwise the day would be very stressful.

Only by being there can you experience the roar of the Yellow River ~

Tobacco grows in dry land ~

On the other side is Shaanxi, which is said to be not as beautiful as Shanxi, so I don't know it.

I guess the people opposite me think the same way ~~

The railing behind it is not very strong, and the ground is slippery, so you have to be careful

Look at the crowd in the upper right corner, it is very shocking and dangerous

In the hole below the waterfall, the splash was yellow, and the shoes and clothes were soaked through. I hurriedly came out to change my clothes, but I forgot to take a photo of riding a donkey.

Wearing a big red wedding dress, wrapping it in a white towel, and riding a donkey, I really regretted not taking a photo first...

Huangdi mausoleum

The Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor is located in Huangling County, Yan 'an City. The Yellow Emperor, surnamed Gongsun and Xuanyuan, was born in a matriarchal clan society. His mother's name is Fubao. According to historical records, on the second day of the second month of the lunar calendar, the Yellow Emperor was born in Jianglong Gorge on Juyuan Pass on the bank of the Jushui River (now the Jushui River in Huangling County). From then on, there has been an auspicious saying that "the dragon rises in February". At the age of 15, he was supported by the people and made Xuanyuan tribal chief, and at the age of 37, he became the emperor. The Yellow Emperor's major contribution in his life was to defeat Yu Wang, kill Yu Wang, surrender Emperor Yan, kill Chi, end the war, unify the three major tribes, bid farewell to the barbaric era, establish the world's first country with a common ruler, and be elected the first emperor of the Chinese nation.

The Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor is the tomb of the Xuanyuan family, the ancestor of the Chinese nation. It is located in the north of Qiao Mountain in Huangling County, Yan 'an City, Shaanxi Province. It has beautiful mountains and rivers and pleasant scenery. The Huangdi Mausoleum in Shaanxi is the only Huangdi Mausoleum recorded in the official history of the "Historical Records". It was called "Qiaoling" in ancient times and was a place where Chinese emperors and famous people sacrificed sacrifices to the Yellow Emperor in successive dynasties. The "Yellow Emperor's Hand Planting Cypress" in front of the mausoleum is more than 5,000 years old. It is the oldest cypress tree in the world and has witnessed the 5,000-year history of Chinese civilization.

the seventh day

Xi'an city wall

Xi'an City Wall, also known as Xi'an Ming City Wall, is the largest and most completely preserved ancient city wall in China. There are four main gates of Xi'an City Wall: Changle Gate (East Gate), Yongning Gate (South Gate), Anding Gate (West Gate), and Anyuan Gate (North Gate). These four gates are also the original gates of the ancient city wall. Since the Republic of China, many new city gates have been built to facilitate access to the Ancient City. So far, there are 18 gates in the Xi'an City Wall.

Sit.

Choose to start our city wall journey from Yongning Gate. Yongning Gate is the latest among all the city gates, closing time until ten o'clock in the evening.

Ducks in the moat? Mandarin ducks? I can't tell anyway

Sundial. I heard the tour guide next door say that this sundial is just a decoration and the Xi'an City Wall is not qualified to display it. This is post-release. I knew only a little bit and didn't delve into it after listening to it. Friends who know the industry can explain it, haha

The children were not willing to be outdone and ready to start climbing the city wall.

There is a bicycle rental point on the city wall. If you have enough time, you can rent a bicycle to tour the city wall. However, the ground is a potholes and uneven brick road, so it will be a little difficult to step on.

There is no noise, no crowded people. People stopped and stopped leisurely, basking in the sun lazily.

Musical Fountain in North Square of Big Wild Goose Pagoda

In the afternoon, we will come to the North Square of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. The musical fountain of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is known as the largest musical fountain in Asia. The entire musical fountain lasts for 20 minutes. The game I watched was at 8:30, and it was already in place at 8:00.

The water sprayed out at the front of the music fountain was colored, but later we asked someone and told us that there was a viewing platform behind us. When we walked to the back, all the fountains we saw were white??? It seems that location is very important! Because it would be right to grab a position closer to the front, but I didn't expect it to be a big mistake. If conditions permit, you can change the angle and position to view.
