At that moment, he was feverish and he was lying alone in the hotel.

Worried about whether it will become more serious tomorrow?

Is your fragile physique unable to withstand the hardships of the journey?

There are still so many trips in the second half of the year and I suddenly want to cancel them all!

The bell tower outside the window shines brightly in the night as always.

It has stood firm for thousands of years and is not afraid of the charm and cruelty of the changes of the times.

Attracted by the scenery outside the window, I still had the strength to climb up and open the balcony door.

Take a slow door photo and wait for the magic of the traffic turning into a beam of light.

At this moment, I admit that the alternation between vulnerability and perseverance is eternal.

If you kill all the courage to show weakness to become an adult,

Then growth really becomes a sad thing.

--Moments in Xi'an

Travel plans for the Qingming Festival range from cherry blossoms on Jeju Island (no suitable machine wine package was purchased) to the coastal city of Dalian (April was too cold), and then to the ancient city of Xi'an, which was settled after a bumpy journey.

Reason 1: Even if it rains heavily during the Qingming Festival, Xi'an's delicious food can still be enjoyed by eating and eating alone.

Reason 2: Who said you can't go to Xi'an to enjoy cherry blossoms? Qinglong Temple welcomes you.

Reason 3: The eighth wonder of the world, even three pits are worth seeing.

itinerary

Day1: Shanghai-Xi 'an Bell Tower and Drum Tower Night View Hui Street Snacks

Day2: Qinglong Temple-Little Wild Goose Pagoda-Big Wild Goose Pagoda-Music Fountain in North Square of Big Wild Goose Pagoda

Day3: Terracotta Warriors-Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang (Terracotta Warriors-Xi'an Ancient City Wall is the ideal itinerary)

PS: The correct itinerary for the third day should be the Terracotta Warriors-the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin-the Ancient City Wall of Xi'an. Unexpectedly, the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, which was thought to take only half an hour, was delayed by the funny tour guide. The return journey was hit by a traffic jam and it was already dinner time to the train station.

Xi'an Ancient City Wall: The biggest regret this time is that I didn't climb the tower. I had enough time on the last day but it rained. Fortunately, you can brush it again on your future trip to Huashan.

Xi'an impression

According to hearsay before coming to Xi'an, my preliminary impression of the city can be summed up in three words: dirty! Chaos! Poor!

Dirty: When I check the weather on the weather APP, I warn you about smog almost every day. Not long after I left Xianyang Airport, I saw two huge chimneys roaring with black smoke, and the sky was faint. There is still a new community being built near the highway. I really don't understand how hard it would be to buy a house here ~

Chaos: Many important tips in travel notes point to thieves! "I even specially equipped my backpack with a lock before traveling for this reason. When visiting the Terracotta Warriors, the tour guide also reminded everyone to take good care of their belongings. Thieves would buy a ticket of 150 yuan and come in and catch up with tourists and tour guides. It was also a lot of hard work. Isn't it? This is a good opportunity to steal a plane where the investment far exceeds the output.

Poor: You will be trapped here soon. You can't sit on the train station that pulls you to the Terracotta Warriors. You have to look for state-owned buses. Because there were no clear road signs for those who arrived at the Terracotta Warriors, they couldn't listen to the enthusiastic greetings of the local people and had to seek official consultation. Local friends also said that the people of northwest China have strong customs.

Seeing whether we are disappointed with the city, what attracts us to go there? Chang 'an, where 13 dynasties established their capital, has more than 5000 years of civilization history precipitated here. Rich ancient buildings, the eighth wonder of the world, and lingering historical legends. Any one is enough to see and listen to for a long time. History has left an inexhaustible wealth here.

The profound cultural heritage should be to breed better cities and people. Fortunately, we can already see the changes. Huimin Street does not feel particularly dirty except for the fact that there are many people. It is convenient to have traffic coordinators at every bus stop to guide the way. Important tourist spots are equipped with many armed police guards. The safety factor is very strong, and drivers in the poor will also take the initiative to ask us to use navigation to avoid congestion and avoid detours.

I hope that one day the ancient city of Xi'an will not only have the halo of history, but will be able to establish an orderly urban appearance, with a style commensurate with the ancient charm, washed away all the lead and reborn from the fire.

It started to rain heavily when I left from Shanghai. Although the departure time was delayed, the landing time was just on time. Spring Airlines finally began to repay my debt from two delays to flight cancellation.

Shanghai has just woken up from the cold, and Xi'an is eager to enter summer at 27 degrees. Sitting on the pick-up bus is almost crazy. We finally entered the city after being blocked all the way. Fortunately, the hotel was in the center of the car and we were the first group of guests to get off the bus.

The circular passage under the bell tower has the immediate feeling of Shanghai Wujiaochang. We were not familiar with the road and were immediately dizzy. In short, if you want to go to Hui Street, please head in the direction of the Drum Tower. When you see the Drum Tower heading to a crowded place, you will find the "North Gate Gate".

▲ Drum Tower

I was scared by the crowd in front of me and had difficulty moving forward. Did we accidentally enter the Lantern Festival at the Chenghuang Temple?

Long lines formed for stores with familiar basic names, and friends also advised not to go to those luxuriously decorated stores.

The food here is always piled up in the shape of a hill, making it seem bold and unrestrained.

I was so hungry that I bought a bowl of sesame jelly and ate it.

7 yuan/bowl tastes good and the amount is a little small

It was not easy to find the [Dingjia Small Crispy Pork] before 8 p.m., but a sign saying it was sold out was hung at the door, which shows how hot the business is. The next day, I bought May children's shoes to eat. The fried beef wrapped in flour was soaked in juice full of cumin. The taste was very strange, but it was not our taste anyway. There are friends who especially like cumin flavor can try it.

I found a random store and ordered [Raw Meat Saute], which was sour and spicy mutton steamed buns. It's a little too spicy for two people with mouth ulcers. I can still eat spicy food, but at this time, I'm struggling with good food. The original [Beef Bubbles]+ the famous [Ice Peak](actually orange soda) accidentally discovered that sweet and sour garlic was my favorite side dish.

It was late at night, and I received a reminder on my mobile phone to cool down and the cold wave. The evening breeze also became cool and lost the heat of the day.

The Drum Tower was replaced with a black background, and there were young people who looked like guitar Zen singing students along the street lights. The songs they picked were all folk songs, with good voices and good singing skills. In Lijiang, singers didn't even meet them on the roadside in the ancient city bar, but they bumped into each other here. With the night sky of Chang 'an City, it felt a little romantic ~~~

A small bottle of [Xifeng Liquor](Qin Liquor, one of the four famous wines) was found in the supermarket and decisively used it to help sleep. In my opinion, all white spirits exude the flavor of bayberry wine. My friends who understand wine culture have popularized that white spirits are divided into Fenxiang and Maotai-flavor types. This wine belongs to the latter, and it has the taste of soy sauce. Erguotou, which we are familiar with, belongs to the Fenxiang type.

The next day, Xi'an really cooled by 10 degrees and returned to winter, and this wave of cooling continued directly until the day we left. I felt my throat swollen when I woke up early in the morning, and I trembled when I left the house.

Although it is in the northwest, spring in Xi'an comes earlier than in Shanghai. In early April, the street trees on the road have already pulled out bright young leaves, making it the most beautiful scenery in the city. The French sycamore trees planted here are also different in shape from Shanghai. The forks are very low, the branches extend extremely high, and each tree is very burly. If it weren't for the shape of the secondary hairballs and leaves on the tree, I wouldn't have recognized it as a sycamore tree at first glance.

Qinglong temple

I also accidentally discovered that Xi'an can also enjoy cherry blossoms, and this year there is no ticket (there was still a charge last year), as long as you exchange your ID card for tickets at the gate, you can enter the park. Although there are many people, it is still orderly.

A special reminder to be sure to be early! Hurry up early! Hurry up early! Because many local people also come to enjoy the flowers, the garden opens at 8 o'clock, so I can only help you get here.

There are also many cherry blossoms in the outer areas that do not require tickets, and the varieties are very similar to the late cherry blossoms in the Shanghai community.

▲ In addition to square dance ladies, Qinglong Temple also has a chess grandmaster group

{data:{has_more:true,html:

After entering the garden, I felt that what I had just done was just a piece of cake. The eight cherry blossoms in the garden were low and densely intertwined to form a flower curtain, and the varieties were also very diverse.

As time goes by, there are more and more people in the park, but because the flowers here are low and it is very suitable for portraits, if you are patient, you can still take photos with clean backgrounds.

Temple + cherry blossoms feel like a neon country, and the reason why there are so many cherry blossoms here is because many foreign monks studied here before, especially Japanese monks. The cherry blossoms in the park are all donated by the neon country.

Qinglong Temple is a sacred temple in the eyes of Japanese people and the ancestral home of the Shon Sect of Japanese Buddhism. It's a pity that we can't climb the building now, otherwise it will definitely be another grand scene when looking down.

At the beginning of April, the small, fresh style Yoshino Sakura can no longer be seen here. The Yae Sakura are plump and crowded together to form flower balls. Pink balls and white balls are intertwined in a staggered manner and it is even more beautiful!

Puxian Elephant: The pale white flower center has two small pale green leaves. This variety is super beautiful.

Found a small viewing area, and a whole cherry blossom came out of the wall.

small wild goose Pagoda

The Little Wild Goose Pagoda is located in the Xi'an Museum area. Although it is a free project, there are relatively few people. You can take a quick look at the exhibits in the museum. Most of the Buddha statues of a relatively single type are unearthed.

The quiet Little Wild Goose Pagoda is more comfortable to stroll around. There are still people practicing yoga inside, and the occasional ringing of the bell resonates quietly.

There are still many cherry trees in the park. This season, there are cherry blossoms everywhere in Chang 'an City.

Big Wild Goose Pagoda North Square

Arriving in front of the musical fountain at the North Square of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, there was a fountain performance, which made me fondly think that this was a special presentation for me who was about to fall. Even those of us from big cities also find the fountains here quite spectacular, and we can imagine that the performances at night will be more exciting. The first performance of the evening is at 8:30, please don't miss it.

After watching the fountain performance, I had a headache and stomach pain, so I completely stopped and decided to go home. She left May's shoes hanging out alone. According to her, she wanted to try taking the subway when she came back, but she didn't expect that there were so many people that she couldn't even get through the security check.

Currently, only 2 subways are open in Xi'an, and others are under construction. Fortunately, the public transportation here is very developed. It takes only one bus step from our hotel to get to almost everything. Except for the attractions in Lintong area, the farthest place is Qinglong Temple. It takes about 35 minutes by car.

Shi Ji

At noon, I found a random small restaurant near the Little Wild Goose Pagoda. The noodles with minced meat were quite Q, but I couldn't remember the name of the other bowl. Xi'an Noodle Kingdom really has a wide variety of varieties.

Cup after cup of hot water and covered up with sweat, I felt refreshed when I woke up the next day. After taking a handful of pills, he put on everything he could wear, and resolutely went out to have fun.

Because I knew that there were too many irregular black cars soliciting passengers at the railway station, I looked like bad people all the people who enthusiastically pulled us on the way. Tour 5 (306) has staff wearing red armbands to guide tourists in line. It is quite conspicuous.

A group of children born in the 1995 group up on the bus to hire a tour guide. During the conversation, they learned that they have been a group of friends who have been together all day since junior high school. Although they have gone their own ways in college, they will come out together to play whenever they have the opportunity., and they are not alienated by distance.

"Is it difficult for so many of you to make decisions? "

A girl answered solemnly and was extremely difficult!

So where are you going to play next year?

Boy A does not know... Boy B Xizang...

Girl C Thailand…Girl D"I also want to go to Thailand…

The boys said in unison, okay, then it's Thailand ~~~

Hahaha…

They are a particularly cute and lively group of young people with casual personalities and mutual tolerance so that they can not be separated. They are really enviable. Looking at what they said, we have known each other for more than ten years! Still with a tone of vicissitudes, my sister was so happy. Among them, three pairs are CP, which is so cute!

Terracotta Warriors

I have always had limited enthusiasm for cultural landscapes, especially temples and temples. The remnants of time have left us with an empty shell of the building. The more exquisite the restoration, the more boring it feels. The first time that the cultural landscape was changed was a trip to Angkor Wat. Walking among the huge piles of rocks was like traveling through time and space to feel the prosperity of that time.

When I first saw the terracotta warriors in Pit No. 1, I was a little moved... I can only feel it when I am inside it. Pit No. 1 is the largest and has the largest number of terracotta warriors unearthed. Thousands of people have thousands of faces! Really, I guess all the artists back then came here to support their families. The tour guide emphasized countless times that what we are seeing now is only the scattered appearance of this huge palace below. The larger the scale, the more we feel that the King of Qin is really cruel. The historical treasures that seem to be now must have been time-consuming, labor-intensive and heart-consuming projects at that time.

▲ Demonstration of the production process

▲ A few slightly complete ones

▲ The cheapest one is 100 yuan each

▲ The world tour of authentic bronzes is gone, let's go.

▲ I remembered an old movie I like "The War between Ancient and Modern Dynasties and the Qin Terracotta Warriors"

▲ The tomb robbing artifact Luoyang shovel is an archaeological artifact

▲ Pit No. 2 and No. 3 are basically pits

Qin shihuang mausoleum

There is a free shuttle bus from the Terracotta Warriors to the Qin Imperial Mausoleum, but there is really nothing to see here. The only highlight is that the free guided tours are quite interesting.

In the 1990s, technology was already available to keep the color of the terracotta warriors from oxidation. The annual income from tickets for the three pits reaches 1 billion yuan. It will be no problem to collect it for 50 years. The Shaanxi government deliberately dug holes slowly for long-term development and cheated you again in its lifetime. Come once.

All fake jade and terracotta warriors are sold by local residents, please don't buy them. Tourists who have been deceived please don't complain about our curator. The previous one has been sent to Xianyang because of too many complaints. Really, please don't complain about our curator.

……

So I heard many, many duan stories...

▲ Luoyang shovel relics

Shi Ji

For lunch, I couldn't eat enough authentic Xi'an snacks in the square of the Terracotta Warriors.

▲ That big pot of undelicious biangbiang noodles

(

For dinner, thanks to May's blessing, friends from Xi'an invited us to a big meal without pasta. As a patient who has no appetite, I can't forget about the bowl of sour and spicy soup and ribs.

It was agreed on the first day that we must get up early to browse the empty Qinglong Temple! The patient did not break his word!

Birds that went early no longer needed to enter the ticket directly. After being abused by tourists for two days, the cherry blossom forest was obviously not as dense as it was on the first day.

▲ Royal clothes yellow, rare green cherry blossoms

After staying in Qinglong Temple for a short time in the morning, it began to rain, and the original plan of the ancient city tower had to be abandoned. I spend a lot of time comfortably in the Starbuck, and I don't want to climb the Bell Tower and Drum Tower anymore. The key to free travel is freedom. There are not many high-priced postcards bought at the post office, and the friends we haven't received, our friendship sampan has been sublimated into a giant ship. It will not sink just because a postcard is missing, cough cough...

On rainy days, I had to turn on working mode and was pleasantly surprised to find that the mocha here can choose sweetness and concentration. It turns out that all Starbuck have extra strong mocha +4 yuan. The patient feels that he feels the most on vacation at this moment. Although next time, you will see me getting high on vacation outside, and I have some complaints. Forget it, haha ~~~

Tips

1. Terracotta Warriors: Tour guide + headset is standard, otherwise you will be wandering around blindly. (Personal suggestion)

2. Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang: You don't have to go unless you have enough travel, but the free tour guide explains it to me!

3. Huaqing Pool: You can go in good weather and climb Mount Li. Tickets are too expensive for 150 yuan. Just watch a pool without water +6D movies + hot springs for washing hands.

4. Shanxi History Museum: Near the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, the queue to get tickets during the festival gave up from morning to night.

5. Xianyang Airport is more than an hour away from the city, so it is very worry-free to go to Cheng Chunqiu to pick up the airport. You must ask clearly about the fixed departure time for the return ticket and the bus. There will be taxi drivers who will carpool to the airport for 30 yuan/person. Personally, I feel that the price is reasonable.

6. Although you don't just buy a roujiamo in Xi'an and it will be authentic, you have to search for it according to the food guide. Forgive me for not being able to give you any food advice this time.

in the end

I would like to express my gratitude for my sick trip to Xi'an.

Thank you to May for helping me go out to buy medicine. The medicine is also very effective.

Thanks to the takeout software for saving me from having to drink porridge and losing the taste buds to taste delicious food.

Thanks to the chat with E-Children's Shoes that night, the little sun in my heart will become brighter after pouring out the smog in my heart!

Song of the wanderer, blue sea and blue sky, until the end of the world, all kinds of film titles that will eventually fade away with time, repeating and brushing my days near the end of the century, with a self-destructive mood, I swear that one day, I will lose all feelings about these cruel and seductive things, and by then, I will no longer be moved by any pain.
