Evening:At 18:00, walk to Yongningmen (South Gate)(No. 2, South Street, Beilin District, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province). It is hot in summer, and it is the best time to climb the city wall from 17:00 to 18:00. Don't worry about the sky getting dark. At this time, it is the sunset, you can ride around Xi'an City, and you have experienced many stories of ups and downs. When arriving at Yongning Gate, there were not as many tourists climbing as expected. Climb the city wall and gently touch the ancient green bricks with your hands. The ancient city wall covered with historical traces and sigh at its vicissitudes. Rent a bicycle (you need to queue up to rent a car. You cannot return the car to the east, west and north gates after 20:00. Single bicycle: 45 yuan/180 minutes, double bicycle: 90 yuan/180 minutes), ride on this uneven city wall, overlooking the entire Xi'an, I can't help but think of the poem of Du Mu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty: "Chang' an looks back at the piles of embroidery, and thousands of gates on the top of the mountain are opened one after another. A princess riding on the red dust laughed, but no one knew it was lychee. The green trees rose in Xinfeng, and several rode Yuyang scouts back. On the thousands of peaks of Nishang, the dance breaks down and becomes primitive. The songs and songs of all countries are drunk and peaceful, and the moon is clear in the Yitian Tower and the hall. Lushan dances in the clouds, and laughter falls under the heavy wind." During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the "Kaiyuan Prosperity" brought about the Tang Dynasty's unprecedented prosperity, and the "Anshi Rebellion" brought about its rapid decline. This speed is really regrettable. At this point, the prosperity of Chang 'an City came to an end. 19:55 Go down the city wall from the north gate, stroll on the north street, and drink a cup of tea. To be honest, this milk tea is not greasy or sweet, but it is quite delicious. At 20:30, I went back to the hotel to rest.


DAY2 (July 2, 2023):

In the morning:At 8:00, go to Zhonglou Community (No. 49, Zhubashi Street, Beilin District, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province). It is not as crowded as the Xiaonanmen Morning Market, but there is also a lot of fireworks. Zhao Jisuzhai has long been lined up, and there is no need to find an early morning in the community. The Laoba Rice Noodle Breakfast Shop is the exclusive operator. Come to his house, taste a taste of Henan Hu spicy soup, a bowl of slightly spicy tofu pudding, and two small steamed buns. It is still excellent.

9:00 Take Line 2 (direction Changning Palace) from Zhonglou Subway Station-West Exit B-Take 2 stops Nanshaomen Subway Station and transfer to Line 5 (direction Xi'an East Railway Station)-Take 4 stops Yanxiang Road Beikou Subway Station-Exit B (Ticket price: 2 yuan/person), walk to Qinglong Temple (No. 1, North Tielumiao Village, Xiying Road, Yanta District, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province)(Ticket: free). Qinglong Temple, also known as Shifo Temple, is the fundamental temple of Tantra in the Tang Dynasty and the birthplace of Shinon Sect in Japan. Every year, many tourists come here in the cherry blossom season, making it difficult to get a ticket. This is also the place where Ren Jialun and Bai Lu met for the first time in the TV series "A Life". Come to the official website of Qinglong Temple to make an appointment in advance under real name. The fewest people enter the temple at 8:30. Entering the north gate and exiting the east gate, although there is no beauty of cherry blossoms, the temple is lined with trees, and walking among them is refreshing and refreshing. Suddenly, it reminds people of Song Dynasty poet Song Zhangli's "Journey to the South":"To the south of Le You, to the north of Qujiang River, there is Qinglong Temple in Xinchangfang. The north is on the plateau and the front is facing Nanshan Mountain. It is the best way to climb and see Nanshan Mountain. This is what Jiadao said when he says 'walking and sitting down to see Nanshan Mountain.' After visiting the temple, please serve a bunch of eighteen seeds, which means good luck, all wishes come true, and everything goes well. Wearing them can add blessings and wisdom. 11:05 Transfer from Qinglongsi Subway Station to Line 3 (direction of Yuhuazhai)-take 2 stops from Dayan Pagoda Subway Station-Southwest Exit B (fare: 2 yuan/person) to arrive at Cien Town, North Square of Dayan Pagoda.

noon:At 11:25, I went to the world's No. 1 noodle (No. 8 Xiaozhai East Road, Yanta District, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province). His biangbiang noodle was a super big bowl. After eating a complete noodle, he felt full and worthy of being the capital of carbohydrates and water.

Afternoon:The weather was not good, and it started to rain heavily. At 12:00, I walked to Qujiang Joy City to shelter from the rain (No. 67, Cien West Road, Yanta District, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province)... Strangely enough, the rain in Xi'an was fierce and stopped suddenly. I ate Maotai yogurt ice cream from Joy City, went to Joy City Gate 3 to check in the Wild Goose Pagoda and the red wall in front of the tea wedding ceremony, went to the balcony on the fourth floor of Joy City and the terrace on the second floor of Coffee on the fourth floor to admire the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and also went to the Tang Dynasty Sleepless City (No. 46, Cien Road, Yanta District, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province) to see the heads. I met Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong, but I forgot to visit Pig Bajie, as well as the Sand Monk who was still missing. It can be considered a pity for this trip.

Evening:At 17:20, walk to Erhui Lane Hot Pot Restaurant (the first floor of the source business of Yannan 1st Road, Dayanta Street, Qujiang New District, Yanta District, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province). His spicy pot is super good, and the stewed chicken feet are particularly delicious, but it is really spicy. 19:40 Take Line 4 (in the direction of Xi'an North Railway Station) from Datang Furong Garden Subway Station-Northeast Exit D-Take 1 stop from Dayanta Subway Station and transfer to Line 3 (in the direction of Yuhuazhai)-Take 1 stop from Xiaozhai Subway Station and transfer to Line 2 (in the direction of Caotan)-Take 4 stops from Bell Tower Subway Station-West Exit B (fare: 3 yuan/person), return to the hotel to rest.

DAY3 (July 3, 2023):

In the morning:On the third day after arriving in Xi'an, it rained heavily in the sky, so I had to give up outdoors.

noon:At 12:10, the rain is gradually getting smaller. Take Line 2 (in the direction of Changning Palace) from Bell Tower Subway Station to West Exit B-take 1 stop from Yongningmen Subway Station to Southeast Exit C (fare: 2 yuan/person), and walk to Chang 'an Zao·Shaanxi Cuisine Heritage Store (on the second floor of Yongning Lane, South Gate of Beilin District, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province). His family's signature Yinghu Big Fish Head is matched with big fried dough sticks, dried clothes and tripe, shallot with fresh yuba, Huojing persimmon Tangyuan, Lao Shan Super Cold Skin, and Osmanthus Thick Wine are all quite exquisite.

Afternoon:At 13:30, it was interesting to stroll through Shuyuan Gate and Xiangzimiao Street in the small rain. After getting tired of shopping, I found a home on Xiangzimiao Street at GCWZ (No. 6 Xiangzimiao Street, Beilin District, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province) and had a cup of strong coffee. It was still very comfortable.


17:00 Take the City Sightseeing Bus Line 1 and pass by the Daming Palace National Heritage Park. When I come here, I have to talk about the Daming Palace. It was once the main palace of the Great Dynasty of the Tang Empire. Since Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, 17 Tang Dynasty emperors have handled court affairs here. Daming Palace was the most magnificent palace complex in the Tang Empire and the largest palace complex in the world at that time. Wang Wei, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote this poem in "The Works of Hejia Scheeren's Early Court to the Daming Palace":"The red-turban chicken man announces the dawn, and the green cloud fur coat is put in when he wears clothes. Nine days closed the palace, and the clothes of all countries bowed to the crown. The sun is just approaching the immortal's palm is moving, and the cigarette is about to float beside the dragon. After the court, the five-color imperial edict must be cut, and the sound of the pendant should be returned to the head of the Fengchi." So how did the Daming Palace disappear in the long river of history? For the first time, the "Anshi Rebellion" certainly caused great damage to the Daming Palace, making it infinitely desolate, and Chang 'an City withered. The poet Du Fu looked at the depressed streets of Chang 'an and wrote the song "Spring Hope":"The country is broken and the mountains and rivers are there, and the city is deep in spring and vegetation. Tears splashed with flowers when I feel the time, and the bird that I hate for goodbye is heart-warming. The beacon fire lasts for three months, and letters from home are worth tens of thousands of gold. The white head becomes shorter when you scratch it, but the desire is overwhelming." The second time, although the "Huang Chao Uprising" also caused heavy losses to the Daming Palace, it really brought a devastating blow to the Daming Palace and was completely reduced to ruins. That person was Zhu Wen, the founding emperor of the Later Liang Dynasty. He came from a peasant family and followed Huang Chao in his early years and served as the Defense Envoy of Tongzhou. Later, he betrayed the Daqi regime established by Huang Chao and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty as the Defense Envoy of Tongzhou. After that, he competed with Li Keyong, Li Maozhen and others for control of Li Ye, Emperor Zhaozong of the Tang Dynasty. In 904 AD, the first year of Tianyou, Zhu Wen ordered his adopted son Zhu Youliang to kill Prime Minister Cui Yin, Jingzhao Yin, Zheng Yuangui and others under the imperial edict of Emperor Zhaozong of the Tang Dynasty. He then submitted a petition firmly requesting Emperor Zhaozong to move to Luoyang, but Emperor Zhaozong had no choice but to obey. Zhu Wen ordered the people of Chang 'an to move according to their registration, demolish Chang' an palaces and houses, float wood down the Wei River, and build palaces in Luoyang. In August of the same year, Zhao Zong was killed and Li Wei was made emperor. He was thirteen years old at that time and was known as Emperor Ai of the Tang Dynasty in history. At this point, the Daming Palace completely fell, and no dynasty in the future established Chang 'an as its capital.

Evening:At 18:30, we went to Yuwei Restaurant·Shaanxi Cuisine Inheritance (Level 1, Block A, Hongfu Building, No. 118 North Street). The eggplant danced by Yuwei, Xiaowei steamed perch, Flame Flower Armor, and Gluttonous Jianghu Bullfrog are all quite creative. It is suitable for young people to consume, but unfortunately I didn't meet a resident singer. At 21:30, go to Huimin Street (1-51, No. 125, Beiyuanmen, Lianhu District, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province). Walking along the street, you will find an endless stream of tourists, full of the smell of fireworks. After a meal, you will return to the hotel to rest.

DAY4 (July 4, 2023):

In the morning:7:20 Take an online charter (7-seater Buick commercial vehicle round-trip: 620 yuan/vehicle) to the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum Museum (Terracotta Warriors)(intersection of Qinling North Road and Qinyingguan Highway, Lintong District, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province). It takes about 1 hour's drive to reach it. If you choose to travel by subway, take Line 2 (in the direction of Southwest North Railway Station) from Bell Tower Subway Station to West Exit B-take 1 stop from Beijie Subway Station to Line 1 (in the direction of Textile City)-take 9 stops from Textile City Subway Station to Line 9 (in the direction of Qinling West)-Take 11 stops Huaqingchi Subway Station-Exit C, go to Huaqingchi Bus Station and take Lintong Road 602 (in the direction of the Second Terracotta Army Yard)-take 13 stops Qin Terracotta Army Bus Station, but you need to wait in line to take No. 602. When you come to the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum Museum, you can hire an official commentator to read and listen, otherwise you will be asked to see blindly. Official selling price: 90 yuan for less than 5 commentators, 8 yuan/person for headphones. There is an endless stream of tourists coming here. They need to queue up in a long queue all day long. After a long wait, they arrive at Pit 1 at 9:30. The best order of visiting is: Pit 1 → Pit 3 → Pit 2. Pit No. 1 is the largest pit, mainly composed of soldiers, with a height of about 180cm. Standing at the front are the dead men who do not wear armor, followed by the armored soldiers and war horses of the main army. Pit No. 3 is the smallest pit and is the central system of the regiment, also commonly known as the command headquarters. The horses in the command headquarters are longer than the ponytails of ordinary war horses. Almost all generals are headless figurines. It is said that Xiang Yu, the overlord of the Western Chu Dynasty, found this place at that time and burned the soldiers in the pit. The general cut off all their heads, and did not even spare the weapons carried by the soldiers. The number of Qin bricks in pit No. 2 is said to have risen to 400,000 yuan per piece. Due to the extreme difficulty of archaeology, the colorful figurines have been buried underground for a long time and are difficult to be preserved intact, so they can avoid crowds and not visit them. In addition, the Terracotta Warriors VR Theater can take children to immersive experience through the glory years of Daqin, but it is not recommended for big friends who pursue high-quality pictures.

noon:At 13:00, choose McDonald's fast food in the Museum of Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum.

Afternoon:13:30 Drive to Huaqing Palace (No. 38 Huaqing Road, Lintong District, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province). When I came to Huaqing Palace, I said,"I wish to be a bird in heaven, and I wish to be a connecting branch on earth." It is familiar; a love story between Li Longji and Yang Guifei, Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, is well known to everyone. Huaqing Palace was once called Tangquan Palace, and later renamed Wenquan Palace. It was a separate palace where feudal emperors traveled in the Tang Dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, large-scale construction was carried out. Tang wells were turned into ponds and palaces were arranged around mountains. He lived here with his concubine Yang Yuhuan for a long time. Yang Guifei wanted to have a BGM when she appeared, so he personally composed "Nishang Yuyi Song". Yang Guifei liked to eat lychees, so he asked people to transport them from thousands of miles away from the south, regardless of the cost. Their love story can be called a good story. He worked hard to start a "prosperous era of Kaiyuan"; he was greedy for pleasure and ended the "Anshi Rebellion", and the seeds of the Tang Dynasty's demise had been quietly planted. After talking about this history, let's talk about this scenic spot. It mainly consists of five soup ponds: Star Pond-specially for Li Shimin's royal soup pond, Lotus Pond-specially for Li Longji's royal soup pond, Imperial Concubine Pond-The soup pond for Yang Concubine to bathe, Shangshi Soup-the soup pond for ordinary officials and the emperor's royal chefs to bathe, and the prince's soup-an open-air place specially for princes to bathe. To put it bluntly, they were four ponds dug underground, surrounded by bricks and wood, and covered with a roof. In ancient times, they were specially built by Tang emperors and ministers. If you like a red journey, Huaqing Pool also has the Wujian Hall and the Military Remonstrance Pavilion for the Xi'an Incident... If you want to take a cableway to Mount Li, you can exit from the west gate, but Mount Li can only cover the scenery below the mountain. Drive back to the Bell Tower at 16:30.


Evening:At 18:00, I went to Jiangcheng Small Restaurant Southern Shaanxi Mom Cuisine·Millennium Shaanxi Cuisine (Shishang Nanyuan, No. 9 - 11, Nanyuan Central Plaza, No. 15A, Nanyuanmen, Fenxiang, Beilin District, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province). His Ziyang steamed basin, boiling organic yellow-bone fish, and Qinfeng hand-grabbed lamb chops are all great. My BEER also has the aftertaste of Longjing tea. It is not difficult to see how popular it is from the queue at the big table for 1 hour and 30 minutes. At 21:00, I have a good drink and eat, so I walk back to the hotel to rest.


DAY5 (July 5, 2023):

In the morning:8:15 Take Line 2 (Caotan direction) from Zhonglou Subway Station-West Exit B-Take 1 stop Beijie Subway Station and transfer to Line 1 (direction Fenghe Forest Park)-Take 1 stop Sajinqiao Subway Station-Southwest Exit B (Ticket price: 2 yuan/person), walk to Guangren Temple (No. 152, Northwest 1st Road, Northwest Corner of City Wall, Lianhu District, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province)(Ticket: free). Guangren Temple is the only Green Tara Temple in China and the only Tibetan Gelug Temple in Shaanxi Province. In 1705 AD, the 44th year of Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, when Emperor Kangxi came to Shaanxi to inspect, he allocated special funds to build it. Its red wall is a place for Internet celebrities to check in, and tourists from all over the country flock to complete the red wall check-in task. There is no need to make an online appointment to come to Guangren Temple, and the fewest people enter the temple at 8:30. After visiting the temple, you can ask for a string of eighteen seeds. There are two types: Chinese characters and blessing bags. If you want to ask incense and make a wish, ask for marriage-Guanyin Hall, seek health-Longevity Hall, seek career-Green Tara Hall, seek studies-Thousand Buddha Hall.


At 9:30, walk to Sajinqiao Food Street (60 meters north of the intersection of Sajinqiao and Xiangmi Garden in Lianhu District, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province). Like Hui Street, it is full of fireworks. It is a good choice to buy a piece of rice cake, palace crispy beef patty, cured beef dumplings, sour soup dumplings, etc., especially the sour soup dumplings that look inconspicuous, but taste excellent. 10:40 Take Line 1 (in the direction of Textile City) from Sajinqiao Subway Station-Southwest Exit B-Take 1 stop Beijie Subway Station and transfer to Line 2 (in the direction of Changning Palace)-Take 1 stop Zhonglou Subway Station-Exit 6 (Ticket price: 2 yuan/person), walk to Xi'an Xinhua Bookstore Bell Tower Bookstore (No. 377 East Street, New town area, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province). Come to the bookstore to unlock new travel methods. You can stamp the 20-yuan task items for free. There are a total of 102 chapters in his home.

noon:12:30 Take a 7-seater Buick commercial vehicle (online taxi: 200 yuan/vehicle) and arrive at Xi'an Xianyang International Airport in about 40 minutes.

Afternoon:From Xi'an Xianyang International Airport (T3) 16:00-Take China Eastern Airlines MU2161 Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport (T2) 18:15 (round-trip fare: 2989 yuan/adult, 2500 yuan/child).
At the end of this trip to Xi'an, the overall depth is still excellent, but there are still many regrets. Due to the rain in Xi'an, I missed the performance of the Tang Dynasty Sleepless City and didn't visit the three models and two movies and tickets for Shaanxi Libo were not booked...
