Summer vacation travel notes in 2018

If in China, you can only choose one city to travel, there is no doubt that you must choose Xi'an, where the roots of Chinese civilization lie. During the Zhou Dynasty, China began to have a historical dynasty with accurate dates. King Wu of Zhou established the capital in Xi'an, known in history as the "Fenghao". The Eastern Zhou Dynasty moved eastward and the Qin Dynasty was sealed in Xianyang. By the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Bang entered the old capital of the Zhou Dynasty and renamed it Chang 'an, meaning long-term peace and stability. The current city of Xi'an is not Chang' an City in the Han Dynasty, but a newly built Daxing City in the Sui Dynasty, southeast of the old city. The Tang Dynasty established the Tang Dynasty's capital based on Daxing City, renamed Chang 'an City. At this time, Chang 'an City was the starting point of the Silk Road and the beginning of the great integration of all ethnic groups. The ancient capital of the thirteen dynasties is truly deserved.

Like the travel plan I arranged for my family, the first stop was Xi'an. Before going with my family, I had already gone once on a business trip and visited some attractions, so I basically knew the itinerary I had arranged. You must live in the old city. I chose Xi'an Juncheng International Hotel (Ctrip + wine package) near the West Gate. First, I can find time to play the city wall. Second, I can get out of the city wall. Third, it is not far from the subway. Fourth, there is a Hui Street nearby to stroll around. Later, I found an Xi'an Ancient Capital Cultural Hotel on the way from the hotel to the subway station. It was closer to the subway station. However, there were a lot of guests for group tours, and large buses continued to pick up and send people off. The subway station is called Sajinqiao Station, the Hui Street is called Sajinqiao Hui Square, and there is also an ancient temple nearby to visit. It is a great place.

The game in Xi'an is a bit similar to that in Chengdu. Starting from the center of Xi'an City, to the east are the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang, Huaqing Pond, etc., to the west are the Fahua Temple and Han Tombs, to the north are the Huashan Mountain and the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor, and to the south is the direction where local people like to travel by themselves, go into the mountains to escape the summer. In Xi'an City, you can go to the Shaanxi History Museum and the Forest of Steles Museum during the day, and go to the Bell and Drum Tower and the Big Wild Goose Pagoda at night. The lights are gorgeous at night.

The six-day and five-night itinerary is as follows: departure on July 28, return home on August 2, and stay in the same hotel for all five nights.

I played in the city on July 28 and 29. On the evening of July 28, I went to the Bell and Drum Tower in the city center to play. A nearby Xi'an time-honored brand settled for dinner. I went to the Shaanxi History Museum early on the 29th and didn't have to wait in line to buy tickets for the "Treasures Museum". There are many collections. We have been shopping for nearly a day. We originally planned to go to the Stele Forest in the afternoon, but if we look at the time, it will be closed there. Forget it, we will skip the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. When we arrived at the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, it was about four or five o'clock in the afternoon, and a rainbow appeared in the sky. It was an auspicious sign, haha. There was nothing to see in the temple, so I didn't go in and settled dinner nearby. After dinner, I came out and saw that the lights of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda were on, so I walked to the Fountain Square to play for a while. The entire journey has been subway + walking for the past two days, but it is really impossible to walk, and TAXI is quite convenient.

The itinerary after that was all purchased one-day tours. On July 30, I went to the Terracotta Warriors and the Huaqing Palace of Qin Shi Huang. I watched a performance called "The Legend of Camel Bell", which told the story of the ups and downs on the Silk Road. It was quite interesting. There is a parent-child activity from the Terracotta Warriors that is to make Terracotta Warriors by hand. Children like it very much. After making it, it takes a few days to dry it, and then it will be delivered to your home by express delivery.

On July 31, I went to Famen Temple, Qianling and Maoling. I remember that I went to Maoling first. The Maoling Museum is actually the cemetery of Huo Bing. I climbed to the top of the tomb and looked into the distance. The nearby place is Wei Qing's tomb, and farther west. The place is Maoling, which is the tomb of Liu Che of the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Later, I went to the tomb of Prince Yide. The real tomb murals had been seen at the Shaanxi History Museum, so I went to see what the Tang Dynasty tomb looked like. Qianling is the joint burial of Wu Zetian and Li Zhi. It is said that it has not been excavated yet. The stone statues on both sides of the corridor, the wordless stele, the Shusheng ji stele, and the stone statues of sixty-one vassal ministers are quite enlightening. Finally, I went to Famen Temple. Although it was a modern building, it also cost a lot of money. My lover also reminded me that I also watched a walk-in experience drama in the temple, telling the story of how to protect Buddha's finger relics in successive dynasties. I think I returned to my hotel at 5 p.m. and walked directly to Huimin Square for dinner. My son said to invite us to eat kebabs. No problem, so I found a restaurant with the best business. It was really good. My son settled for more than 200 yuan.

August 1st is to climb Mount Hua. Because it is a one-day trip, I got up quite early in the morning. It took about 2.5 hours to drive to the foot of Huashan Mountain. Due to time constraints, I chose to get up and down the cable car, climbed the West Peak, South Peak and Middle Peak, and looked into the East Peak. The North Peak was too far away to climb. If you don't dare to take time, you can play for two or three days and climb up from the bottom of the mountain. The cable car in Huashan is quite recommended. The whole journey is nearly 20 minutes. The first section is to climb to the mountain peak, and the second section is like a slide line, shuttling from the mountain peak here to the mountain peak opposite. Looking around, it is between the mountains and mountains. Looking down and looking down, it is an abyss. At this time, everything is still and the wind cannot be heard. I can only hear the sliding sound of the cable car. It claps every time it reaches a node. Oh my God.

On the afternoon of August 2, before leaving, I went to Huimin Square and bought various local cakes and dried fruits. Finally, I still drank Hu spicy soup. Well, I don't like this, so I said this to my lover.

Following the historical trajectory, our journey will continue eastward. The next stop will be Henan? Shanxi? Shandong? Stay tuned!

Winter vacation travel notes in 2018

For a four-day tour in Phuket, my lover booked a Marriott Resort package and a suite with a pool. I went with my neighbors. Just on the last day, my wife and I needed to participate in the Marriott member club event, which means buying members, providing one-on-one services, and considering those with spare cash. After all, it is one of the best hotel groups, and there are many resort hotels around the world to play with. Sun, beach, swimming pool, shopping, what else is there to do in Phuket?
