Introduction: Sauvignon Blanc, in Chang 'an

Sauvignon Blanc, in Chang 'an.

Long lovesickness destroys your heart.

More than a thousand years ago, Li Bai once lamented this: Lovesick Blanc, lovesick Blanc, we lovesick in Chang 'an; Lovesick Blanc, lovesick Blanc, every lovesick destroys my heart. Chang 'an has been a place full of aesthetics and romanticism since ancient times.

In fact, each of us has a Chang 'an City in our hearts. There is no need to say much about its beauty. How many prosperous past can we witness in the scattered time, and how many short poems are still sung?

The autumn wind grows on the Wei River, and the fallen leaves fill Chang 'an. When you and I meet, God's will always be there. Because of the appointment, I came back to visit this city with a longing heart. You see, the language it tried to tell me was not unfamiliar.

When I was a child, many details about my memory here were blurred, but I clearly remembered that the night view of Xi'an was beautiful, the neon lights were colorful and dazzling. After more than ten years, I would still be as gorgeous as ever.

This scene reminds me of the scene in the TV series "Ming Palace Ci". On the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, the entire Chang 'an Street is a sea of lights and a sea of people. Any gorgeous words can not describe the prosperity and hustle of that night.

The fourteen-year-old Princess Taiping left the palace for the first time and met the handsome Xue Shao on the masked carnival night of the Shangyuan Lantern Festival. From the moment she took off the Kunlun slave mask, she fell in love with a girl's innocence.

After a long time, my love for the ancient city seems to have never changed. There are endless stories here to be told and told. Throughout the long years and in the middle of peace, one can always feel its unique charm. And I just want to walk into it again and touch its existence with my soul!

Ancient City Wall: Encounter Through Thousands of Years

Ten minutes ago, I was standing on the ancient city wall and had just finished watching a sunset. This is the starting point of the Silk Road. Today, although the grandeur of the beginning is no longer there, the civilization that once emerged has survived here in a different way. The rise and fall of the 5,000-year-old empire and the vicissitudes of the city wall are undoubtedly the best witnesses of this period of history.

Xi'an City Wall is the oldest and most completely preserved ancient city wall building in the world. It continues the historical context of the entire ancient capital Chang' an and blooms its grandeur, grandeur and breadth to the world with its unique charm.

I came here for the first time at the end of the year and happened to be in time for the lighting ceremony. After sunset, in the dark night, countless giant lanterns bloomed with brilliance, and the festive atmosphere of the Year of the Rat suddenly popped into your eyes.

Although I live in the ancient capital of the south and have a lantern festival every year in Nanjing, I have never seen it. After walking around the city wall, I was conquered by the colorful and differently shaped lanterns in front of me. More than ten years have passed, and this is much more shocking than the scene in my memory.

In the night,"Nishang Feather Song" seemed to be played again, and the fairies danced and danced. At this moment, I forgot everything and really traveled back to the Tang Dynasty.

Bell and Drum Tower: The lights are on at the beginning of the night and the end of the night

The glory of a prosperous world is visible, and the aura of a thousand-year king is in this building. Bo Yan is willing to recall the moon during the Han Dynasty, and the wonderful song is still heard of the Tang Dynasty. The evening drums and morning bells divide day and night, and the dancing partners of dragons and cranes are neon. The ancient city is beautiful today, and its eyes are shining across Saihong.

The Bell Tower and Drum Tower are not only symbols of Xi'an, but also popular Internet celebrity attractions recently. Since I first came here as a child, I have been deeply impressed by these two buildings. I even climbed one of them at that time, but I couldn't tell if it was the Bell Tower or the Drum Tower.

In fact, both buildings can be climbed. The Drum Tower is built on a square base and is a brick-and-wood structure. The top is in the form of a double eaves. There are stairs inside that can be spiraled up. There are dark green glazed tiles on the eaves, gold paintings are painted in the building, and carved beams are painted and carved. There is a gilded crown on the top. It is magnificent and magnificent. There is also regular folk music played every day.

Carrying the accumulation of thousands of years of culture, the Bell and Drum Tower is undoubtedly Xi'an's best business card. In ancient times, morning bells and evening drums were closely related to people's lives. Today, although he is no longer responsible for telling the time, he is still crowded with tourists every day. Especially when the lanterns are first turned on, can we truly feel their beauty.

Huaqing Palace: Listen to a masterpiece of the ages

I have a thousand-year dream

Travel back to the Great Tang Dynasty

Follow the long song of peace and prosperity

Listen to a song that will last forever

Regarding the Huaqing Palace, many literati and literati have described it from ancient times to the present. The love story between Emperor Xuanzong and Yang Yuhuan of the Tang Dynasty has given it a beautiful and romantic color.

When I meet again after a long time, I just want to place my heart in the place I like, in this Lishan Mountain far away from the downtown area, and listen to a love affair that spans thousands of years. Every scene and scene here is full of prosperity and peace. Here, it is still the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

When the lanterns first came on, the lanterns of Huaqing Palace lit up the entire Li Mountain. Above Mount Li and under the Milky Way, hundreds of drones light up the night sky, changing into various shapes, romantic and dreamy.

More than 2,000 star lights shone, mountain moon screens, lake lake lights, pavilions and pavilions lighting effects, laser tunnels and other special effects, creating a prosperous scene in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Appreciating lanterns, guessing lantern riddles, setting off fireworks, dancing dragons and lions... the joy of celebrating the whole world, the long end of the world.

Dengshan and bright sea, fire trees and silver flowers, and tens of thousands of lanterns complement each other. Huaqing Palace seems to be covered with a bright dress, like a fairyland. Some grand, some exquisite, or some lovely lanterns match the New Year and are particularly beautiful and romantic.

My favorite is the "Dragon Playing Phoenix" light group located in Furong Lake. As the largest dynamic main light group in Huaqing Palace, through the dragon swimming phoenix shape, the emperor's lingering love is vividly expressed.

The city is full of lights, thousands of alleys are crowded with people, lanterns are easy to go out, and favors are hard to find. How great it would be if, among thousands of people, thousands of years, and in the wilderness of time, you could meet the person you wanted to meet without earlier or later.

Seoul Lake: Beautiful and picturesque

The dust of the Western Han Dynasty and the wind of the Eastern Han Dynasty washed away the tiredness in real life. When you came to Hancheng Lake, you could see a beautiful long scroll. Relying on the 36-square-kilometer Han Chang 'an City ruins, it not only has clear water surfaces, but also has beautiful garden landscapes.

Wearing Han costumes, I shuttled through the winding forest paths, listening quietly to the wind and birds that were no different from those of thousands of years ago. Just a glance, but it had passed through thousands of years.

Seoul Lake is a new tourist highlight in Xi'an with the theme of Han culture. Tourists can enjoy the unique scenery on both sides of Seoul Lake by boat, or they can change into Han clothes like me. They can also learn about Han culture.

In addition, you can also take sightseeing buses in the scenic area, and many bus stops have been set up along the way. On the way, you can feel the unique charm of small bridges, flowing water, and exquisite and elegant classical gardens.

In the center of the square, there is a huge statue of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty holds a sword in one hand and points forward with the other hand. It looks as powerful as mountains and rivers.

Dafeng Pavilion is a landmark building on Hancheng Lake. It is inspired by the artistic conception of "Gale Song" written by Liu Bang, the Gaozu of the Han Dynasty,"The strong wind rises and the clouds fly, and the strong wind rises in the sea and returns to my hometown. How can I get brave soldiers to guard the four directions?"

Standing on the top floor of Dafeng Pavilion and looking down, you can have a panoramic view of the Han Chang 'an City Wall ruins. It is surrounded by small bridges, flowing water, pavilions and pavilions, and the environment is beautiful, making it difficult to leave.

Banpo Site: Prosperity of the matriarchal clan

The Banpo Site is a settlement site of Yangshao Culture in the Neolithic Era. It dates back to a village site left over from the prosperous period of the matriarchal clan in China's primitive society. It has been around for more than 6,000 - 6,700 years. When I came to Xi'an again, I also included it in my itinerary.

The human-faced fish-pattern basin is the most precious cultural relic among the cultural relics unearthed at the Banpo site. It is a national-level cultural relic. Unfortunately, when we went, it happened to be lent out for display and we didn't see it.

There are more than 18000 cultural relics of various types in the entire collection, including more than 4000 cultural relics above level 3, more than 300 fossil specimens, and a number of human and animal skeleton specimens from the Neolithic Era.

Looking at the marks left by these history, I once again admired the amazing wisdom of my ancestors. The museum's cultural relics display also uses modern sound, light and electrical scientific and technological means such as electronic virtual and phantom imaging to combine dynamic and static, and reproduce the splendid culture created by the ancient ancestors of Banpo with rich pictures and texts.

The production tools unearthed in Banpo mainly include stone axes, stone adze, stone shovels, stone hoes, etc., as well as stone grinders, and the main daily utensils are colored pottery.

Various patterns are often painted on colored pottery, and the surface of the objects is decorated with rope patterns and line patterns. There are also patterns such as human faces, fish, deer, and plants, with black patterns on a red background. There are also 20-30 kinds of symbols engraved on the edges of some pottery bowls. These symbols may be the origin of Chinese characters.

Outside the museum, we came to an open space where the staff would teach us how to make a fire with bricks and wood. The invention of drilling wood to make fire originated from ancient Chinese myths and legends.

In ancient times, the Shangqiu area in Henan Province was a forest. The local resident Suirenshi often hunted wild animals. When the stones that hit the wild animals collided with rocks, sparks often occurred. Inspired by this, Suirenshi hit a stone with a stone, used the generated sparks to ignite tinder, and gave birth to fire.

This fire-making method was still used in rural Shangqiu thirty years ago. At that time, a saint was inspired by the sparks that appeared when a bird pecked at a snakewood. He broke off the snakewood branches and drilled into the wood to make fire. He taught this method to people, and since then, humans learned to make fire artificially and use fire to bake food, lighting, heating, smelting, etc. Human life entered a new stage. People called this saint Suirenshi and worshipped him as the "head of the Three Emperors."

I always thought this was a very magical thing, but this time under the guidance of the librarian, we really used simple tools such as wooden sticks to take out the flames and light the torches.

The Banpo site is divided into residential areas, burial areas and pottery workshop areas. The residential area is surrounded by a large artificial ditch, which is divided into 2 areas by a small ditch. Each area has a large house in the center and is surrounded by small living rooms.

There are two types of houses: semi-crypt and ground buildings, with cellars between the houses for storing things. These discoveries not only promote the research and development of Neolithic archaeology in China, but also have important scientific value for the study of settlement forms and the history of China's primitive society.

Terracotta Warriors: A sect sincerely protects the emperor's spirit

Whenever the Terracotta Warriors come, they are crowded with people. This huge project, which lasted for 39 years, not only attracts domestic tourists, but also makes many foreigners yearn for it. The first feudal emperor in Chinese history, his Imperial Mausoleum is not only known as the "Eighth Wonder of the World" but also a treasure of ancient human spiritual civilization.

There are pits No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3, but the most magnificent scene we can see is pit No. 1, which was also the earliest discovered. There are sloping doorways on all sides, and there are also terracotta warriors pits on the left and right sides. Now called pit No. 2 and pit No. 3.

Walking into the No. 1 pit, it is rectangular, 230 meters long from east to west, 62 meters wide from north to south, and about 5 meters deep. It has a total area of 14260 square meters. There are more than 8000 terracotta warriors in the pit.

These terracotta warriors can be said to have thousands of faces, each one is different, and the firing process is also very complicated. They must first be shaped with yellow mud, then fired in a kiln, and then through careful painting, can a complete terracotta warriors be formed.

According to Records of the Historian, Qin Shihuang began to build the cemetery when he ascended the throne at the age of 13. Prime Minister Li Si presided over the planning and design, and General Zhang Han oversaw it. The construction took 58 years. The Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is the burial pit of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang. It is located 1500 meters east of the cemetery. The three pits are arranged in a triangular shape, with a total area of 19120 square meters and the size of more than 50 basketball courts.

The formation of Pit No. 2 is more complex and the arms are more complete. It is the most spectacular military formation among the three pits. It is a multi-arm special force composed of cavalry, chariots and infantry (including crossbows).

There are more than 1300 pottery figurines and horses, more than 80 chariots and tens of thousands of bronze weapons in the pit. Among them, the general figurines, saddle horse figurines, and kneeling shooting figurines were discovered for the first time.

Pit No. 3 is the only one among the three pits that has not been burned by fire, so when unearthed, there are more painted paintings on the pottery figurines and the colors are relatively bright. These colorful pottery workers have not yet been excavated on a large scale. According to the tour guide, the technology was not yet available at that time, and they were afraid that they would not be well protected after they were unearthed. Nowadays, our technology is becoming more and more developed, and we will slowly be unearthed later. I believe that we will see colorful pottery figurines in the future.

After watching the Terracotta Warriors, we came to the Terracotta Warriors Qin School, where we could make a Terracotta Warriors by hand. This was a very interesting experience. The teacher was also very careful and scrolling the teaching videos on the big screen.

In fact, it is very simple to learn, just rub the mud, press it into the template, and then let it sit for about ten minutes to fill the template with the moisture that absorbs the red mud, and then open it on one side.

After opening it, clean it up to remove the excess mud, then remove the mold on the other side, and then perform the overall decoration, so that a lovely terracotta warrior is ready.

The terracotta warriors have not yet been completely dried, but you can pack it in a small box, take it away, and go back to dry it and make it into a decoration. It is very meaningful.

Tumbler: One person leads a city with fire

Speaking of little sister tumbler, one has to say that Tang Dynasty never sleeps. It's really a place where fire trees and silver flowers never sleep. It feels like entering the ancient Shangyuan Lantern Festival. It's here that Miss Picachen is popular on the Internet, and tourists from all over the country come one after another, just wanting to hold hands with her.

The Tang Dynasty Sleepless City is a pedestrian street with a central sculpture landscape based on the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and 1,500 meters across the north and south. There are shopping, catering, entertainment, and everything in short. Every day, Little Sister Tumbler performs in the afternoon. Long queues begin to form.

Pickups are popular all over the country in the morning, making Xi'an once again the Internet celebrity city that tourists want to visit most. During the New Year's Eve, the place already felt the strong atmosphere of the Chinese New Year. At night, little lady tumbler performed as scheduled, and the whole scene was quite popular.

In addition to little sister tumbler, there is also little brother tumbler who performs with her. They interact with tourists in the Tang Dynasty Sleepless City every night. After watching the performance, they can also slowly walk on the pedestrian street to enjoy the lights and watch other performances., they are all wonderful.

Dream back to the Tang Dynasty: Dream poetry, music and dance drama

I have always wanted to watch indoor performances, but this time I finally watched the song and dance drama "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty" in the Tang Dynasty Furong Garden. The entire play of "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty" is divided into six acts. They are the preface: A dream in a garden, the first act: Dream of Nishang, the second act: Dream of Inviting the King of Qin, the third act: Dream of Bathing in Huaqing, the fourth act: Dream of the Western Regions, the fifth act: Sleep in Qujiang, and the sixth act: Dream back to the Tang Dynasty.

Blue is the main theme of dreams and the source of fantasy; red is a passionate expression and an experience of life; purple is synonymous with nobility. At this time, these styling elements are all gathered on the stage at the same time.

The entire performance was about an hour, and the entire performance was a climax. Under the illumination of the beautiful dazzling lights, the stage suddenly became a floating colorful glass and a paradise of dreams. The dreamy stage has caused a strong visual and auditory impact, making people feel like a dream.

The passionate and seductive dance of Hu Xuan, the beautiful and agile Jiedu dance, the rough and unrestrained Hu Teng's double blade dance, etc. are all presented one by one on the stage, a scene where all countries pay tribute and celebrate peace and prosperity together.

The market is noisy, and street juggling is full of fun. The young girl walking in spring dressed in spring clothes and filled with a cheerful smile, which reminds people of Du Fu's famous saying,"March 3rd is the weather is new, and there are many beautiful people along the water side of Chang 'an."

In the final scene of the Tang Dynasty grand ceremony, the people prayed for blessings. The grand hall of the Tang Dynasty was resplendent and splendid. The grand ceremony of the Tang Dynasty was magnificent. Emperor Ming and Imperial Concubine Yang sat on the dragon chair, leading all officials to worship the heaven and earth, and praying for the people. The flying fairy on the Dunhuang murals slowly rose with the flow of music and the changes of lights, throwing petals into the air, and the whole performance ended perfectly in beautiful romance.

Eat in Xi'an：

① Yongxingfang

When it comes to delicious food, Xi'an is really too many to count. You can eat snacks alone for days. Yongxingfang is a place where all the famous snacks in Xi'an are gathered. Xunyang steamed tripe, Lantian hele, Jingyang stone steamed buns, etc., cover almost all the delicious food you know and don't know.

Because towards the end of the year, Yongxing Square is also decorated with red color, giving a scene of celebrating the New Year. In addition to snacks, shops on the street also sell various lovely decorations.

The purse of the Year of the Rat and the pendant of the little tiger are quite cute. My partner bought a cute little hat and planned to bring it back to his baby. It must be super cute.

In this food and culture district, there is a fixed performance stage, and different performances are held at designated locations every day for tourists to watch for free.

The block is 130 meters long from east to west and 88 meters wide from north to south. According to the planning and design, it is planned to build an antique "square and four" building complex, archway, leisure and green square, inner street, well house and antique decoration on the exterior walls of the buildings, etc., mainly composed of Guanzhong archway and folk tradition The combination of building complexes forms a Gulifang-style layout, displaying the neighborhood form and historical life atmosphere of ancient Chang 'an City, as well as traditional folk living space.

When eating in Yongxingfang, you must not miss the top ten famous delicacies: 1. Guanzhong biangbiang noodles 2. Jingyang stone buns 3. Southern Shaanxi stewed vegetables 4. Ningqiang walnut buns 5. Hanzhong hot rice skins 6. Zichang pancakes 7. Bin County royal noodles 8. Zhenba kang potatoes 9. Zhashui potato glutinous rice cakes 10. Suide yellow steamed buns

Zhashui Potato Rice Cake is a famous local food. The potatoes must be steamed first and smashed with a large mallet until the potatoes are very strong. The smashed potatoes are particularly delicious when poured with seasonings. There are five flavors in his family: sour and spicy, pulp water, rose honey. The first is his family's sour and spicy taste. The sour and spicy taste just suppresses the hemp taste of the potatoes. Of course, rose honey is also good. Those who like to eat sweets must try it.

Liquan Tofu Workshop produces authentic freshly ground tofu, including fresh bean juice and packaged dried tofu of different flavors. You can see it throughout the process. It is absolutely non-additive, healthy and delicious.

Jingyang Shizi steamed bun is a cake crust fried on a stone. The production method is very special, so foreigners also like it. The taste is also very fragrant, healthy and delicious.

Are Shaanxi people not afraid of spicy food or not afraid of spicy food? Anyway, everyone says that they love spicy food, but they have different tastes.

Buy some freshly ground chili noodles here and make oil-splashed chili. Hehe, chili is also a dish. Xingping Chili Workshop also has Zhouzhi handmade noodles and Fengyukou century-old oil workshop, all of which use traditional craftsmanship to pay tribute to the classic taste.

Yongxing Square brings together a variety of specialty delicacies, especially pasta food. My best friend worked in Xi'an for three years after graduating from college. She said that she liked pasta and was trained here.

Qianzhou hemp flowers are made on site. They are fragrant, crispy and delicious. Before leaving, I saw gift boxes for sale, so I bought two boxes and prepared to take them back for my family to try.

② Huimin Street

Huimin Street is also the most famous snack street in Xi'an. It has many types of specialty snacks and is also a place you will visit every time you come because there are too many memories of the past here.

In fact, Huimin Street is not a street, but refers to an entire area. The masters here are all skilled, so you can not only eat Xi'an's delicacies: mutton steamed buns, beef meat dumplings, various pastries and snacks, and you will get a different harvest every time you come.

I couldn't change my habit of liking sweets since I was a child, so I had to taste everything like rock sugar pear soup, smiley face ice cream, and Zhen cake one by one.

When I came to Xi'an when I was a child, I clearly remember eating beef steamed buns at a small stall on the street under the scorching sun. The bowl was very large and the amount was sufficient. After a while, I began to sweat like rain, and I couldn't finish it no matter how I ate it. Food is a memory with temperature. They remain deep in the memory, but after many years, they are still missed.

When I came here before, I didn't seem to have many shops selling sour plum soup, but I saw many this time. Moreover, sour plum soup in Xi'an is not just as simple as sour plum soup. There are many different pulp added to the soup. This one claims to be the same one Peng Yuyan drank, and there are ready-made sour plum soup powder for sale. You can drink it after brewing it back. However, I think it is more authentic to drink it locally, and the taste will definitely be discounted when you buy it.

After walking a few steps forward, I met another family. I saw a lot of pulp on the plate at the door, all of which I like to eat. I ordered a bowl of sour plum soup. In fact, the soup was already cooked, as long as I added the pulp. It would be fine. It's a quite big bowl. The taste is really different and very strong. After drinking it, I don't forget to eat up the pulp, so there is no waste at all.

Unfortunately, I have a small stomach. I originally vowed to eat all the snacks on Hui Street, but after a while, my disappointing stomach was defeated. There were still many things I wanted to eat, so I had to save it until the next time. It turns out that you can really eat and get out of the wall, and you can still get out of the city wall.

③ Drunken Chang 'an

When we arrive in Xi'an, we must eat authentic Shaanxi cuisine. Drunken Chang' an, which is popular on the Internet, is good both in terms of environment and dishes. We didn't go to the main store. When we arrived at the meal, we found a branch near the Bell and Drum Tower.

There were already many people eating when we entered the door, so the few of us sat in the private box, and soon the cold dishes arrived. From the presentation to the taste, the staff were very friendly.

Sour and spicy sheep blood, squirrel fish, miaobi raw flower snacks, peach kernel elbow jelly, etc. are all the specialties of this house. We ordered a lot according to the number of people, and the speed of serving the food was also quite fast. The cool clothes and tripe were very unique.

Every dish in their family is quite creative and has been improved based on Shaanxi Cuisine to make the dishes both beautiful and delicious. Every dish can be said to be an Internet celebrity dish.

I love sweet-scented osmanthus thick wine most. I brewed it sweet and the bottle is also beautiful. I drank a lot with my companions, but it is not easy to get drunk. It feels like the wine I drank when I was a child.

Lao Shan gourd chicken is crispy and delicious, and the selection of pig front elbows is even more unique. Home ingredients, secret soup slow-fire stewed? Make 4-6 small? When, soil? Is beans Shaanxi? North Small? Potatoes, every one? Only limited days? supply.

Finally, this wonderful brush is a very popular snack on the Internet. The tip of the brush is made of durian crisp, and the dip sauce is blueberry sauce. It has a good color, aroma, and flavor. No wonder Xi'an is the absolute first place to check in.

④ Daqin Small Banquet

If you want to eat in Xi'an and feel ceremonial, you must come to the Daqin Small Banquet. The Daqin Small Banquet was named after Qin, and Xi'an, the land of Qin, was naturally the "base" of Qin culture and Qin cuisine.

The decoration and decoration of the restaurant is made of bricks and tiles, reflecting the inheritance of Qin bricks and Han tiles. The main tone of black and white gives people a simple and solemn feeling. The pre-meal tribute ceremony is a major feature of the Daqin Small Banquet. Waiters dressed in Qin costumes present exquisite dishes to you and introduce the story of each dish one by one according to the etiquette of the tribute ceremony.

The menu of the Daqin Small Banquet consists of four parts: "Jiang, Xiang, He, and Qin". It adopts a separate meal system that imitates imperial cuisine. The carefully prepared Qin-style dishes have a unique style. Although each dish is not large in size, they are quite exquisite and the variety is also very rich.

When seated for dinner, diners can also change into Qin Dynasty costumes. This experience is like traveling back to the past. The dishes I took were all for one person. After eating one, I removed the other. The process was a little slow, but it was full of experience.

At the Daqin Small Banquet, you can not only experience the authentic Daqin food culture, but also feel the city's broad mind and unique charm that has embraced hundreds of rivers since ancient times, which is unforgettable.

lived in Xi'an

① Xi'an W Hotel

In Xi'an, a thousand-year-old capital, there are not only historical marks, but also modern and fashionable elements. Walking on the antique streets, watching the lights shining all over the street, and staying at the fashion brand hotel W at night is a different kind of novel experience.

Whenever it comes to fashion brand hotels, W is undoubtedly the first brand that hotel fans think of. Xi'an W Hotel is located in Qujiang New District. It has an avant-garde and bold appearance. It is known as the W Hotel most like a "W".

When you walk here at night, you will be completely stunned and feel like you have gone to the wrong set. This is completely a high bar. Fashionable music, colorful lights, and psychedelic night comes. The W Hotel is completely different from the outside world. Two worlds.

This is the biggest and most beautiful thing in Asia. The hotel lobby covers an area of 1660 square meters. A total of more than 300 rooms and suites are located on the 5th to 20th floors of the hotel. They all have private terraces. There is also a viewing platform on the roof of the hotel, where the beautiful scenery of Qujiang Pool can be seen in a panoramic view.

The design of the hotel shows the overall decorative beauty through different forms such as light, shadow, lines, and color. Modern and prosperous times of the Tang Dynasty meet across the sky. The combination of classics and trends really makes people's eyes shine.

The hotel has different restaurants, and there are also two areas: gym and pool on the first floor. Every area is a perfect blend of light and music. The bottom of the indoor swimming pool is covered with sound, so you can play in the water with music!

In addition, the hotel's spa is also very unique, where you can relieve the fatigue of a day. Or go to the lounge opposite it to read a book and drink some wine. You must get drunk before you stop at W!

My room is located on the 15th floor. When the lights are first on, I can overlook the entire night view of South Lake. Every room at W Hotel perfectly combines fashion with the classical charm of Chang 'an City.

The design inspiration for MINIBAR in the guest room is said to come from Du Shiniang's treasure chest. As soon as the MINIBAR hidden in the wall is pulled open, there is a feeling of finding treasure.

The Wenchuang Cup of Emperor Xuanzong and Yang Guifei, as well as the hotel manual with customs clearance documents, are the lovely side of the hotel, and you can also truly feel the atmosphere of Xi'an's ancient capital.

The hotel lobby at night is a dream world. Looking at the chandeliers in the lobby during the day, it actually incorporates elements of Dunhuang's flying sky. The result of the intersection of Eastern and Western cultures is vividly performed in the flying sky.

Sitting in the lobby of the hotel, listening to soothing music and drinking a glass of beverage, the time in W is always so short, but it subverts inherent perceptions and challenges traditional luxury, which is really amazing.

② Renaissance Xi'an Hotel

Renaissance is the second hotel I stayed in in Xi'an. As the first Renaissance brand in Northwest China, it has undoubtedly brought a literary and artistic storm of lifestyle to the unique ancient capital of Xi'an.

The spokesperson of Renaissance Hotel is Cai Jianya, and the typical talented woman is quite compatible with the overall temperament of the hotel. Different from the fashionable W, Renaissance Hotel perfectly blends simplicity and modern elements, creating a unique modern Chinese design style.

There are many design elements in the Chinese restaurant. Shaanxi shadow puppets, traditional paper-cutting, window grilles and other folk arts are all integrated into it, creating a unique charm and a good place for taking photos and checking in.

The dazzling and exquisite hair ornaments of the Tang Dynasty are lifelike, and the decorative paintings of Terracotta Warriors vividly embody the characteristics of Xi'an. This is not so much a hotel as an art museum.

The design of the room is simple but not simple, with huge floor-to-ceiling windows, an ultra-spacious bathroom, and a humidifier. The biggest feeling is that it is not like staying in a hotel, but more like being at home.

It is located on the executive floor on the 27th floor of the hotel, with a wide view. You can comfortably enjoy breakfast and afternoon tea. At night, you can sit with friends and talk to each other without being disturbed. It is very suitable for business people.

In terms of food, Renaissance Hotel not only has all-day restaurants, but also specialty restaurants, Chinese restaurants and "R" Bar. Rich dishes and different local specialties allow you to have a full-hearted immersion while dining.

Not only that, when you come here, you can also eat Chua Jianya and Renaissance Hotel collaborated on a creative dessert-"Breath". It is definitely a unique dining experience. Renaissance is not only a hotel, but also a space for direct dialogue with art. In the hustle and bustle of the city, there should be such a place where people can let go of everything and truly return to life itself.

Travel in Xi'an

Xi'an has developed transportation. The airport is 37 kilometers away from Xi'an's urban area. It is the largest air transportation hub in Northwest China. There are flights to Xi'an in all major cities across the country.

② Train

Xi'an Station has general express and express trains to all parts of the country. It should be noted that there are many tourists queuing up to enter the station at Xi'an Station during the peak season, and it is safer to check in more than half an hour in advance.

Xi'an North Railway Station is currently the largest railway station in China and the largest in Asia. There are high-speed trains and bullet trains between Xi'an and Huashan, Baoji, Yan' an, Zhengzhou, Dayuan, Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and other places.

Tips：

In addition to Xi'an Station and North Railway Station, there is also Xi'an South Railway Station, located in Chang 'an District, 30 kilometers away from the center of Xi'an City. It is a station on the Xikang Railway and generally few tourists choose it.

③ Subway

Basically every attraction in Xi'an can be directly accessed by subway or bus. Xi'an Metro currently operates Lines 1-4, spanning the east, west, north and south. The one-way fare is 2 yuan within 6 stops, making travel very convenient.
