Tickets: 1920 Dining + Shopping: 1047 Total: 11609.99

It was another trip that was just about to go, so the itinerary was a little messy and I took a lot of wrong paths. I originally felt a little cold and didn't want to go to Xi'an, but later I arranged this trip. I didn't do too many strategies in the early stage. After following two groups, I suddenly wanted to visit the Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang halfway, so I don't recommend that everyone follow my route. Finally, I will summarize the improved itinerary.

DAY1 November 20, 2019, 7:40 am from Shanghai Hongqiao Airport to Xianyang Airport at 10:20 to visit Ming City Wall, Bell Tower, Drum Tower, Hui Street, Yongxing Square

Check-in: Xi'an

My father wanted to go to Yan 'an to play, so he booked a three-day group tour in advance, but it was not recommended to choose this group. On the first day, he could only pick up the plane and then play by himself. Since there were three people, the hotel made up for the difference.

Accommodation: Xi'an Taoyuan Holiday Inn Reviews ★★★ Price: Group

The airport was picked up and delivered directly to the hotel. The air conditioning in the room was not very good, and I got up early the next day to follow the group. The breakfast was packed and cold, so the experience was not very good.

Eating: Wangshunge evaluation ★★ ★ ★★

This restaurant is right across from the hotel. The fish head tastes really good and it is super satisfying for three people.

Xi'an was very convenient to take a taxi, so I took a taxi to the east gate of the city wall.

Attractions: Xi'an City Wall Reviews ★★★★ Price: 54

The city wall is more than ten kilometers in total. Walking is not realistic. You can rent bicycles on the city wall, but I don't recommend renting them. First, the weather is too cold, and second, the scenery is similar. Walking from the east gate to the south gate is just right for us.

Attractions: Bell Tower and Drum Tower Reviews ★★★ Price: 50

It is very close from the south gate to the Bell Tower and Drum Tower, which are within walking distance. The Bell Tower and Drum Tower are really not interesting. The night lights are very beautiful, but my father had to go up and have a look, so he took them around.

Attractions: Hui Street Evaluation ★★

Most of the Huimin Street are places where foreign tourists come to eat, and it feels quite chaotic after shopping around.

Attractions: Yongxing Square Evaluation ★★

So I took a bus to Yongxingfang for dinner and saw a broken wine bowl. The environment is much cleaner than Hui Street, but I didn't find anything I particularly wanted to eat.

Eating: Yuanjiacun evaluation ★★ ★★

When I searched for this place, I found that there are basically all local snacks in Xi'an here, and it is very clean. It is really good to eat.

Check-in: Yan 'an

I set off with the group early in the morning. Because the car is small and the distance is long, the overall experience is quite painful. The group meal was so terrible that I didn't even have the motivation to take photos. After about 2 or 3 hours 'drive, we finally arrived at the first attraction

Attractions: Huangdi Mausoleum Evaluation ★★ Price: Follow the group

There is nothing to see inside, just a commemorative building, not the real tomb of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan.

Eat a delicious group meal and set off for Hukou

Attractions: Hukou Waterfall Evaluation ★★ ★★★ Price: Follow the group

The fatigue of the day disappeared the moment I saw Hukou Waterfall. Watching the Yellow River rushing forward and listening to the roar of the Yellow River, I was extremely excited. I can't help but sigh at the beautiful rivers and mountains of the motherland. They are really spectacular.

Accommodation: Zhige Hotel Reviews ★★ ★★★ Price: Group

It was already past 8 o'clock in the evening when I arrived at the hotel. The stay was good this time. The air conditioning was very strong. I felt that my stay was much better than Xi'an.

DAY3 Visit Yangjialing and Zaoyuan on November 22

Check-in: Huashan

Because the day before was relatively late, the tour guide arranged for a departure at 9 o'clock, so there was no way to follow the group and it was just that he was not free. Passing by Pagoda Mountain, unfortunately there is no such attraction.

Attractions: Yangjialing Evaluation ★★ ★ ★★ Price: free

Revolutionary history education is free of charge. When I came to the earthen kiln where my revolutionary predecessors lived, I felt strong red feelings and felt the place where the older generation of revolutionaries of that era struggled, and I realized that the happy life now is really hard-won.

Attractions: Zaoyuan Reviews ★★ ★★ Price: Free

Zaoyuan is also the place where previous revolutionary predecessors lived and fought. From time to time, people from the unit organize visits and studies. The explanations in the scenic area are so good that we seem to have experienced that year of hard struggle together.

Visiting Zaoyuan was a free exercise. We chose a restaurant with good reviews and ate some at will for the family of three.

Eating: Shajiabang Private Kitchen Reviews ★ ★★

It was much better than the group meal. The amount of food was very large. The three people did not eat rice and ate the recommended steamed dumplings, which tasted good.

After eating a good meal, I bought locally produced apples, which were big and sweet. There was still a little time to spend my last days in Yan 'an with the pigeons in the square.

Then there was a long return trip, which lasted about 4 or 5 hours. Because we had to catch a train to Huashan, we were put at the subway entrance in advance, and finally ended the group tour. Take the train to Huashan North, come down and make a phone call, and the hotel owner will pick us up.

Accommodation: Jimo Jiufang Hotel Reviews ★★ ★★ Price: 187

The boss is very enthusiastic and will introduce a lot of mountaineering information, but I don't recommend him to help me book tickets and cableway tickets because they are not cheap. He only books them for you at the original price, which is estimated to cost more than 20 yuan per person. If you are afraid of trouble, you can ask them to order it.

Day4 Visit Huashan on November 23

Check-in: Luoyang

Route 1: If you want to hike the mountain, you can go from Yuquanyuan to Beifeng at 7:30 a.m.. If you have good physical strength, it will take about 2:30 hours-North Peak to East Peak-East Peak to South Peak-South Peak to Xifeng, and then Xifeng cableway down. My father took the Xifeng cableway down around 2 pm

Route 2: If we are not physically strong, we will set off at around 8 o'clock, then go to the tourist center and take the scenic bus for more than 30 minutes to Xifeng at 10:00 a.m. and take the cableway-then Xifeng--Nanfeng--Zhongfeng-Beifeng--Finally, we will take the cableway down and then take the scenic bus back. It is almost past 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

Route 3: My father exercises a lot, and my mother and I are also physically strong. However, if we are not physically strong, we still recommend going west and west, or going north and north, and taking the cableway, because each mountain peak also has to walk a lot. Huashan Mountain is famous for danger, so it is not so easy to climb.

When I got up early in the morning, I ate noodles + steamed buns at the inn. The taste was average but it was quite warm. I had to eat enough before climbing the mountain. Dad had breakfast somewhere in Yuquan Yuan.

Attractions: Huashan Reviews ★★ ★★

Price: Ticket to Xifeng + Ticket to Huashan + Xifeng Cableway + Beifeng Cableway =430 (excluding ticket back from Beifeng Cableway 20)

My mother and I took the route to climb from the Xifeng Cableway. The ticket price for the cableway was 140 yuan, but it was definitely worth the money.

Xifeng should be the most beautiful mountain peak. It is beautiful and steep. It is not the peak season, but there are still many climbers.

It's hard to imagine how a cute kitten survived on such a high and dangerous mountain peak.

The snow that fell a few days ago has not melted yet, so I can see a different side of Huashan.

Huashan sword discussions are everywhere in Huashan. I am silly and don't know whether it is true or false. I heard that the one in Beifeng was written by Jin Yong himself.

Huashan is not as dangerous as you imagined, but you still have to be careful with your steps, especially when viewing the scenery.

Dad was faster than us. He immediately picked up our luggage, picked us up who had just come down the mountain, and headed straight to the train station, ready to leave for Luoyang

The train leaves at 16:34 and arrives at Luoyang at 17:33. Because the itinerary was decided suddenly, I booked the accommodation on the train.

Accommodation: Luoyang Shili Peach Blossom Hotel Rating ★★ ★★★ Price: 181

The hotel is very close to Luoyang Longmen Railway Station, right here in Baolong City Square. The environment is very good. The most important air conditioning is strong and the bath water is large, which gives us a good rest from our fatigue.

I rested in the hotel for a while, only ate dry food at noon, and went out to forage around 7 o'clock.

Eating: Evaluation of Big Fish Shop in Pot City, Northeast of Zishuo ★★★

There are still a lot of people arriving at the hotel almost 8 o'clock. This hotel has 5 star reviews and there is a performance on the second floor, so usually you have to queue up. Later, we ate on the first floor and bought his family's 138 set meal. The food was very large. The cakes and rolls were 1 yuan each. His rolls were delicious and definitely worth trying. The service is also very enthusiastic, and the heroism of Northeast China is vividly demonstrated by the little cashier girl.

DAY5 November 24 Visit Longmen Grottoes, Luoyi Ancient City, Luoyang Old Street, Night Tour Bell Tower and Drum Tower

Check-in: Xi'an

Eating: Fang Guangzong's comment on spicy soup ★ ★ ★★

Although I came to Luoyang, Henan on a whim, the food in Henan is more in line with my taste than Shaanxi. I ordered the local specialty Hu spicy soup, which was quite delicious.

Transportation in Luoyang is very cheap, so we basically hail a taxi. To get to Longmen Grottoes, you also need to take a shuttle bus to the scenic spot, which takes about half an hour on foot. I bought a mobile phone electronic guide and listened to stories to tour. The grottoes were really spectacular, but unfortunately many of them were destroyed.

Attractions: Longmen Grottoes Rating ★★★★ Price: 90

Xishan and Dongshan originally had the same bridge, but now they can only return the same way during maintenance. However, there will be a free shuttle bus to take you to Dongshan, where there are grottoes, Xiangshan, Jiangsong Villa, and Baiting. Jiang Song Villa cannot be entered during maintenance, but you can still feel its luxurious style. It is in sharp contrast to Yan 'an earthen kiln. The difficult environment created a great revolution.

Attractions: Luoyang Ancient City Reviews ★★★★ Price: free

After visiting the Longmen Grottoes, I took a taxi to the Ancient City of Luoyi in the Laocheng District. Tickets have not been collected yet. I heard that they will be collected in the future. They are full of antique buildings, making people feel like they are in the Tang Dynasty. I heard that the lights are more charming at night.

Eating: Qingqing Dapao Chicken Evaluation ★★★

I was really hungry after playing the ancient city of Luoyi, so I ate some at the small shop next to it. It cost 20 yuan and 30 dumplings. Luoyang is really cheap and beautiful. A small portion of big plate chicken was also given noodles. The amount was too large for the three of us to eat these. It's full...

After eating and strolling the ancient streets in Luoyang next to it, I was ready to go back to the hotel to pick up my luggage and return to Xi'an. To sum up, although many historical buildings in Luoyang have not been left behind, the food and humanities are good. The most important thing is that it is not as commercial as a tourist city.

Because it was Sunday, the tickets for the latest train were sold out, so I had to wait at the train station for a long time. It was already very late to arrive in Xi'an.

Accommodation: Star Hotel Rating ★★★★ Price: 239

Take the subway from the train station to the hotel. The hotel is near the Bell Tower, which is convenient to see the night view at night, and it is also convenient to follow the group to visit the Terracotta Warriors and Huaqing Pool the next day.

Eating: Confused comments ★★★ ★★
I chose this restaurant for dinner. Shaanxi food is really not delicious, but Shaanxi snacks are very famous, especially noodles. Therefore, the special dish gourd chicken is really terrible, but Laoshan Noodle Soup is definitely recommended. The price is cheap and the quantity is large. We each drank 4 bowls and were full immediately.

Make up for the night view we didn't see the previous two days. The Bell Tower and Drum Tower at night are so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off.

DAY6 Visit Huaqing Palace and the Terracotta Warriors and Tang Dynasty Sleepless City on November 25

Check-in: Xi'an

I didn't want to sign up for a group, but later I thought that I still needed someone to explain the humanities, so Ctrip chose a small group of ecological food restaurants. Overall, it was not bad and had no regrets.

I went out in the morning and bought roujiamo and porridge and ate them on the bus. Because we were the last one, we didn't wait for anyone. There were a small group of 5 families in total.

Attractions: Huaqing Palace Evaluation ★★★★ Price: Follow the group

Because there was a tour guide, it was quite interesting to talk about several baths, but he was also tricked into watching the performance.

Performance: Xi'an Incident Evaluation ★★★★ Price: 169

In fact, the performance was quite good, except that it was a bit confusing because of the competition for seats. But the most important thing was that we didn't climb to the top of Mount Li and didn't see the beacon tower because of watching the performance. We still feel a little sorry for us who like to climb mountains.

Attractions: Lishan Reviews ★★★★ Price: Inside Huaqing Palace

Looking after the performance, we only climbed to the wind viewing corridor. After checking that the assembly time was too late, we had to go back.

Eating: Lao Mo Youcake Evaluation ★★ ★ ★★

The tour guide said that this would be the best group meal you have ever had. This restaurant has only two tables of guests for us. Every dish is local and tastes excellent.

Attractions: Terracotta Warriors Evaluation ★★ ★★★ Price: Follow the group

Of course, we must come and see the eighth wonder of the world. The Qin Dynasty left us nothing, but it left behind Terracotta Warriors and many unsolved mysteries. The tour guide in the scenic area explained a lot, but the sound was too loud and attracted many people to listen, causing the originally small group of 15 people to become a large group of more than 30 people. (In the end, he even took us to a shopping spot privately, which was quite an unpleasant experience)

I bought a small persimmon before getting on the bus. It is very sweet and is a local specialty.

Help us put it at the subway entrance on the way back, and we took the subway to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.

Accommodation: H Hotel rating ★★ ★ ★★ Price: 243

Because I was going to the Shaanxi History Museum the next day, I chose this hotel. It was only a 10-minute walk and a 15-minute walk to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and the Tang Dynasty Sleepless City. It was very convenient.

The hotel rested for a while and was ready to leave for dinner.

Eating: Wangshunge evaluation ★★ ★★

I originally wanted to eat Chang 'an food stall in Joy City, but there were too many people in the queue. The next house had eaten fish heads two days ago, and no one lined up, so I chose this house again, but everything was not as delicious as the first time.

Attractions: Tang Dynasty Sleepless City Reviews ★★ ★★★ Price: Free

Joy City came out as the Tang Dynasty City that never sleeps. The lights at night are really beautiful. Not only are there lights, but also performances, floats, and staff who silently insist on performing, bringing the whole street to life. Although the temperature is very low, the whole street is full of people. Miss Internet celebrity tumbler has three layers inside and outside. She can't see it at all and can only give up.

Eating: Zhang Ji Roujiamo on Ziwu Road Comments ★★★

I got up early in the morning and went to the nearby restaurant for breakfast. I finally got the authentic Roujiamo. The skin was crispy and the meat was also very fragrant.

Attractions: Shaanxi History Museum Evaluation ★★ ★★★ Price: free
I booked free tickets in advance, worked together with another family to serve as a tour guide, and 8 people gave an hour of explanation. In fact, I think I can watch the Shaanxi History Museum for a day as I slowly look at it, because some exhibits will also have introductions next to them. After reading these exhibits, I can't help but sigh at the wisdom of the ancients.

It was almost 12 o'clock when I visited several exhibition areas, so I had to go back to the hotel. Fortunately, my late check-out was until 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Store your luggage, prepare for lunch, and then visit the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and the Tang Dynasty that never sleeps during the day.

Eating: Chang 'an Food Stall Reviews ★★★

For my last meal in Xi'an, I had a Chang' an food stall that I didn't have last night. I ordered the store's sign. They were both very vivid and not very delicious, but quite interesting. I still ordered my favorite noodle soup, but it was not as delicious as I remembered.

After eating, we visited the Tang Dynasty Sleepless City. There are fewer people in the city that never sleeps during the day.

Attractions: Big Wild Goose Pagoda Reviews ★★★

Because there was really no time, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was not climbed.

When we returned to the hotel, the flight attendant was already here, and we felt that our schedule was too tight...
