The audio monster's "Chang 'an Memory" was playing in the headphones:

It rained in Chang 'an, autumn fell overnight

The road is thousands of miles, and the wind blows on guests 'clothes

Chang 'an memories, with the city's many buildings leaning against the corners

I am in the snow, I wake up again after being intoxicated

As soon as he got home, he quickly opened the website to record the travel about where to go during the winter vacation. From Hokkaido, Japan, to Chiang Mai, Thailand, to Xi'an and Chongqing, children who had been reading in places where they could wear short sleeves for eight months still wanted to go to a colder place. Finally, Xi'an was finally decided in terms of price and time.

about the weather: The temperature in Xi'an and Jiangnan in January is similar. Although the temperature in the north is lower than Jiangnan in terms of numbers, it is dry and cold, especially dry, so I think Xi'an is more comfortable and has indoor heating!

about accommodations: I booked it on Aiying. The best experience for going out is of course to stay in a B & B. I chose a B & B near the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. The location is very good. There is Metro Line 4 right away from the door, and the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is surrounded by the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and the Tang Dynasty Never Sleeps City, including the urban complex Joy City, where Yanjiyou Bookstore is hidden in Joy City!

1/3 Shanghai-Xi'an Yongxingfang Ancient City Wall

It takes two and a half hours to fly from Hongqiao, Shanghai to Xianyang, Xi'an, fromThere is still some distance from Xianyang to downtown Xi'an, you can choose to take the airport bus to various stops in downtown Xi'an, or you can chooseIt is very convenient to take the intercity railway that was just opened at the end of September last year. The last stop connects with Metro Line 4., because the B & B we booked was near the Big Wild Goose Pagoda on Line 4, we chose to take the intercity railway. Put down your luggage. It's already evening. I took a taxi and got angry by shaking yin.yongxingfang, if you are a little unfamiliar with this name, then you must know the Bowl-Breaking Bar. That's right, it comes from here.Most of the Yongxing Square are Xi'an specialty snacks, sold for one person, the price is quite close to the people, basically 10-15 yuan each. You need to queue up to break a bowl of wine. We didn't go, so we just watched the people holding the bowl read a few words after the host, and then they fell down hard.

Eat it dry and wipe it clean and find it next to Yongxing Squareancient city wallThe ancient city wall built in the Ming Dynasty is the largest and most complete ancient city wall in the world. It has many entrances and exits. You can find the one closest to you and require a ticket, 54 RMB/person, half price for student tickets. As the lights had just been turned on, many people on the city wall were either riding bicycles or pacing slowly. This is the end of today's business.

1/4 Terracotta Warriors and Horses Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, the Tang Dynasty Sleepless City

There is one near the Big Wild Goose Pagoda Subway StationBus No. 307 goes directly to Terracotta Warriors, very convenient, and you will also pass Huaqing Pool on the way. Get on the bus first and then charge.(Remember to prepare cash, 8 yuan per person from the Big Wild Goose Pagoda to the Terracotta Warriors) Children who do not have direct buses around can choose to take it at Xi'an Railway StationTour 5It can also be direct.

It takes about an hour to drive to the Terracotta Warriors. After getting off the bus, you need to walk for about 10 minutes. Don't be afraid of not being able to find your way. Follow the crowd and you will always get there. On the road, you will find many hawkers selling things like "branches". In fact, it is a unique fruit in Xi'an called Guizao. It is gray-brown as a branch and has a sweet taste, like eating longan.

Tickets for Xi'an Terracotta Warriors are 120 yuan per person, the elderly, students, and military personnel all get half-price tickets, but it should be noted that half-price tickets can be purchased only by purchasing cash at the window. Cashless electronic ticket purchases scan the QR code and do not support half-price tickets. Only full-price tickets can be purchased. The tour guide explains it at RMB 90 per time. You can join groups with other tourists or invite them individually.(The ticketing hall is full of tour guides waiting for tourists to explain. It is quite formal to explain first and then pay. It is recommended to hire one, otherwise you will not be able to understand it at all)

The Terracotta Warriors Museum is divided into three halls, namely Pit No. 1, Pit No. 2 and Pit No. 3 of the Qin Terracotta Warriors. Pit No. 1 was the earliest discovered and mined. It was discovered by a villager surnamed Yang while digging a well on March 29, 1974. It is the Terracotta Warriors Pit, one of the tombs buried with the Qin Emperor Mausoleum.(The tour guide sister said that the Terracotta Warriors here are equivalent to the Qin Emperor's security team. The Terracotta Warriors and Warriors have thousands of faces. They are each wearing stone-piece armor clothes, ranging in length from 1.78 meters to 2 meters and weighs 300 kilograms. In terms of identity, they can be divided into warrior terracotta warriors, standing shooting terracotta warriors, kneeling shooting terracotta warriors, military officials, driving hand warriors, etc. Most of the terracotta warriors are made using pottery firing methods, and there will be hidden small characters engraved on the inside of the sleeves of the terracotta warriors. name.

It is said that due to the lack of mature mining technology in the 1990s and the lack of good protection of cultural relics, the pottery figurines still retained bright colors when they were first unearthed during excavation, but they were oxidized by oxygen after being unearthed and the color disappeared instantly. Pit No. 2 and Pit No. 3 are both the results of drilling by archaeological team members, but the size is not as big as Pit No. 1, and the area mined is not as big as Pit No. 1. The tour guide sister said that mining cultural relics itself is harmful to cultural relics, and the restoration takes manpower and time. All are limited, so the best protection of cultural relics at this stage is to bury it deep underground and develop it when the technology matures in the future, perhaps 50 years later. The reason in the national memory that one-third of the terracotta warriors are retained and not mined adds one point. It is hoped that first-hand information on the archaeology of the original terracotta warriors can be preserved for future generations, which is the importance of sustainable development. If you want to bring souvenirs, I recommend you to start some Terracotta Warriors cultural and creative series, which are very innovative.

Let everyone know thatThe Terracotta Warriors and the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang are included in one ticket, there is no additional charge. The purple ticket sold at the door and the 60-yuan ticket for the performance of the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum is a performance fee venue opened by ourselves opposite the Imperial Mausoleum. You can go or not. You can sit on a small train inside and introduce the history of the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum in a 3D performance format.

There is a free shuttle bus at the exit of the Terracotta WarriorsQin shihuang mausoleum, providing free guides. The Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is 1.5 kilometers away from the Terracotta Warriors. It is said that the entire Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is equivalent to two and a half Macao. Qin Shi Huang ascended the throne at the age of 13 and took charge of government affairs at the age of 22. The tomb began to be built from the beginning of his accession. It took a total of 39 years and cost 700,000 manpower to complete the construction. However, Qin Shi Huang passed away at the age of 49, so it was not until a few years after his death that the tomb was completed.

Then the question comes:

Q1: Qin Shihuang was obviously from Hebei. Why did he place his tomb in Lintong, Xi'an?

Answer: Because there is Lishan Mountain above and Tonghe River below, it fully meets the ancient people's requirements for feng shui.

Q2: Why did all the vassals of various countries before Qin Shihuang be called "jun" or "king", but Ying Zheng wanted to call himself emperor?

Answer: Ying Zheng felt that he unified the six countries, unified the system of weights and measures, abolished the system of enfeoffments, and realized the system of prefectures and counties. His achievements were better than the three emperors and five emperors. Therefore, he chose one word to form the title of "Emperor" and called himself the First Emperor.

Q3: Why did Qin Shi Huang die early at the age of 49?

Answer: You may say that people in ancient times did not live long. Wrong, Emperor Qianlong lived 89 years old, Wu Zetian was 82 years old, and Zhao Gou of Gaozong of the Song Dynasty was 81 years old. In the late period of his rule, the First Emperor began to be fascinated by the art of immortality and took a large number of pills every day. At that time, the principle of alchemy was to put various chemical raw materials into a pill furnace, treat them at high temperatures, and finally extract a mixture. The ancients believed that metals such as gold and silver were immortal, so the pills refined in the pill furnace also had this immortal nature. If you swallow so much heavy metals raw every day, it would be strange if you didn't collapse early.

Q4: Why did the First Emperor go to so much trouble to build his own mass burial? Including the construction of the huge underground army, known as the Terracotta Army? Answer: In the "Book of Rites" of the Spring and Autumn Period, it is said that death is like death is a ritual, and death is like death is the ultimate measure of filial piety. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, China advocated the concept that I had when I was alive would take everything underground after I died and continue to be an emperor in the underground world.

Q5: Why not open the tomb of Qin Shi Huang? (We just stood on top of the tomb)

Answer: Cultural relics have been buried deep underground for a long time. If they are dug out, they will be instantly oxidized like terracotta warriors. In order to avoid losses, they dare not dig easily. Archaeological experts have used nuclear magnetic scanning and infrared exploration to find a large amount of metallic mercury. According to Records of the Historian, the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang uses mercury as the river and sea, so opening the tomb will not only cause great damage to the cultural relics itself but also to the surrounding environment. We look forward to the technology becoming more mature in the future and opening it when it can effectively protect and avoid harm. (I'll tell you privately, in fact, Japan has a team with mining technical conditions, but they actually require that no matter what is dug, one-third of it should belong to Japan, so let's just say Saionara)

It was nearly evening after visiting the Terracotta Warriors and the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang. We continued to take Route 307 back to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in Xi'an. We were still tired from walking all day. We discussed going around the neighborhood at night. After checking the map, we found thatdatang sleepless cityIt is very close, and my friends who pay attention to Douyin should also know that the reason why this place was caught in flames was Miss Tumbler. Unfortunately, we didn't encounter it when we went. I suggest that my friends who go to Datang Sleepless City at night take the subway and walk there. The traffic jam is very serious.

The Tang Dynasty Sleepless City is a pedestrian street behind the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. The whole journey is about 2 kilometers. At dusk, the willows are at the beginning of the lanterns, and the moon shines back. Rows of red lanterns illuminate the entire Chang 'an City. Imagine the prosperity at that time. That's it. Walking all over Chang 'an Road and eating all over Chang' an Banquets, the most worthwhile thing in the world is to feel these fireworks.

1/5 Xi'an Art Museum Big Wild Goose Pagoda Shaanxi History Museum Joy City

After checking the map, we were pleasantly surprised to find that the History Museum is also near the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. Coupled with today's gloomy weather, we decided to do everything we should do near our home. We accidentally discovered yesterdayXi'an Art MuseumIt is hidden on the pedestrian street of the Tang Dynasty Sleepless City, and the 10th Anniversary Exhibition of the Art Museum-is on display outside the city wall. We, who like to watch exhibitions, hit it off immediately.

Walk from the Art Museum toDayan PagodaIn just ten minutes, the entrance to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is actuallydacien temple, we were confused for a long time, thinking that the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was alone. After looking for the entrance for a long time, it was just like the lyrics sang: I would walk from south to north, and I would also walk from north to dark. If you want to take a good picture of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, there are two places that are better. The first one is a cafe on the 4th floor of Joy City next door, and the other is outside the wedding tea on the first floor of Joy City. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda was a five-story brick pagoda specially built by Master Xuanzang in Cien Temple to worship important treasures brought from the Kingdom of Tianzhu: Buddha statues, relics, etc., and it also became the Cien Temple Pagoda. Admission to the temple is 40 yuan/person, and students are half price, but there is an additional charge for climbing the tower.

next stopShaanxi History Museum, it is directly accessible by walking distance from Exit A of Dayan Pagoda Subway Station,The blackboard knocking link: Strongly push everyoneMake online reservations with the "I want to make an appointment" in the "Shaanxi History Museum" on the Weixin Official Accounts, eliminating the need for queuing time，Brush identity at the entranceThe ticket collection is completed. The friends who make reservations in advance enter on the left hand side of the museum, and the entrances on the right are all on-site ticket sales. The queue is very long.

Security check is required before entering the museum, rememberYou cannot bring a selfie stick, either choose to throw it away, orCheck it at the door before security check, the basic museum is free, but there is a charge for explanations. Everyone chooses according to their own needs. Everyone tries to choose an earlier time when making reservations. We are young and ignorant, and we have booked admission from 15:00 to 16:00.The museum will be cleared at 5:00, there are three basic museums. The first museum is only 30 minutes away from closing after visiting. The next two can only be seen at a glance and swallowed. The museum is still worth spending most of the day visiting.Everyone try to choose an earlier time period。

After visiting Shaanxi Expo, we were so hungry that our chests were pressed against our backs. We walked back to Xi'an Joy City (urban complex) next to the Sleepless City to have a grilled fish, stroll through a small street, and open a blind box. Xi'an Joy City is still very easy to visit. Since I learned that there is Joy City at my doorstep, I come here almost every night. Okay, today's business is over.

1/6 Bell Tower, Drum Tower, Hui Street, Gaojia Courtyard, Shuyuan Gate, Ancient City Wall

Today, all check-in tickets are on Metro Line 2, which goes directly to the Bell and Drum Tower. There are machines for direct ticket purchase in the subway channel. Of course, you can walk to the Bell and Drum Tower and buy them. If you buy them on the machines, there is no half-price ticket at all. We bought them together in the Bell and Drum Tower.Two people 100,(Food in Xi'an is really not expensive, and tickets are quite expensive). bell towerAs the name suggests, ancient clocks are hung in the building. They were originally used to alarm and time. They were built in the Ming Dynasty to confront the Drum Tower.

Echoing the bell tower isGulou, also built in the Ming Dynasty, the two most famous plaques in the Drum Tower hang on each side. One is "the place where civil and military affairs are prosperous" and the other is "the sound is heard in the sky". They were severely damaged during the Cultural Revolution, and the two pieces we see now are already in the post-restoration style. The ancient bells of the Bell Tower are hung, and the Drum Tower and the Drum Tower are standing. This is probably the meaning of the twilight drum and morning bell. The 24 drums on the Drum Tower correspond to the 24 solar terms in ancient times.

There is a street behind the Drum TowerHuimin StreetWell, when visiting the Drum Tower, you should be able to hear the "Song of Xi'an People" coming from afar, and you will even sing along without realizing it. When you go there at noon, there are not too many people. The food shops on the street are all Hui people wearing white hats and warmly greet every passing customer. Although it is Hui Street, they sell everything from a cup of pomegranate juice to Xi'an's characteristic shadow puppet puppets. There are many people queuing up at the entrance of the food shop. Pomegranate juice is very recommended. Secondly, the Jiasan Halal Soup Dumplings Restaurant, which was hit by a fire, did not exceed psychological expectations and was normal. Two people had a drawer of steamed buns and five mutton kebabs were 40 yuan. In general, Huimin Street is already a very mature check-in landmark with a strong commercial atmosphere.

Is there anything worth recommending on Hui Street? It must be. The Gaojia Courtyard hidden in the streets and alleys of Huimin Street can enjoy Shaanxi's intangible cultural heritage-shadow puppet show. The curtains are covered, the lights are on, and the shadows are visible. Friends who have time can really go in and have a look. A shadow puppet show is about 15 minutes, with an interval of 1-2 hours each time.

Take Line 2 to Yongning Gate and you will get there at Exit D.Shuyuanmen, small streets sell brushes and rice paper, filled with the strong aroma of pen and ink. There are young people choosing rice paper, elders practicing calligraphy in leisure, and elderly women selling goods. People come and go on the streets, but quiet, and a walk here can make people feel calm. (Go straight ahead from the Academy Gate to the Forest of Steles Museum. Those who want to check in can play with the Academy Gate).

The Academy Gate is next to the ancient city wall. Last time it wascity wallNight view, this time I wanted to see what it looked like during the day. We didn't choose to ride or walk around the city wall to watch it up close to experience the combination of the ancient capital and the modern world. The day is so short that it is easy to endure a century of hardships. According to historical data, Xi'an has experienced a total of 13 dynasties and 74 emperors, which is consistent with the total length of the ancient city wall of 13.74 kilometers. Isn't it particularly wonderful? The day we went there was cloudy. If there was sunshine, it should be more beautiful.

In order to fulfill my wish to take the night view of the Bell Tower, I ate and ate in the shopping malls near the Bell and Drum Tower at night.

That's all for today's business. (Mobile phones cannot capture the feeling of traffic like lines)

1/7 Dahua 1935 Yanjiyou Joy City

When I woke up in the morning, my friend fell ill with a high fever of 38.8 degrees. The original plan to go to the Banpo International Art District in the morning had to be cancelled and rested until the afternoon before setting off.Take Line 4 to Hanyuan Hall, directDahua 1935This is Xi'an's Internet celebrity photo shoot site, an art park full of industrial style. The former site is Chang' an Dahua Textile Factory. It is worth spending more time and strolling around slowly. It is particularly recommended:Dahua Textile Factory Museum, can travel through time to look at the present from the past, there is another familySET , it is a diversified bookstore that gathers coffee and furniture. In addition to these, 1935 also contains many gourmet restaurants waiting for you to explore.

"Don't read today, go feed the pigs tomorrow." When making strategies, the top bookstores were Yanjiyou and Qujiang Bookstore. Considering the physical condition of their friends, the principle of proximity, it just happens that Joy City hasYanji bookstore, and went straight to Joy City. Young literary and artistic people must check in. Of course, dinner was served there. You may not believe it, but the last dinner was actually Beijing food, which is a tribute to our last trip.

On the way back, I asked him: "Do you like Xi'an?" "I like it","Me too. There are still many places I haven't been to, such as the Terracotta Warriors and the Museum. I think I will visit again." "I will miss Lao Tongguan's Roujiamo! The most regrettable thing is that I didn't go to Huashan (mainly because I was afraid so I didn't let him go haha)." "I don't know when I'll come back","When you want to come, but I'll take my temperature first","Then help me take a photo first","I'll take it while measuring","Okay".

1/8 Xi'an-Shanghai

The song "Chang 'an Remembrance" is still playing in the headphones: It rains in Chang' an, autumn falls overnight, and the road is thousands of miles away, and the new wind blows on guests 'clothes. Chang 'an remembers, with many buildings leaning against the corners of the city, and strangers falling on the snow, I wake up again after being intoxicated.

The trip to Xi'an came to a successful conclusion. Thank you for seeing us here ~ We will see you next time!
