[Foreword]

I have written several travel notes on overseas travel, but this is the first time I have written it for a domestic travel note, and it is a belated travel note. Every year, the Spring Festival is a "two people's world" trip with my husband. As my son grows up, the summer vacations in recent years have been a three-generation trip with my son and mother. I chose Xi'an as my destination this summer because it has terracotta warriors; because it has strong cultural monuments; because it witnesses the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty; and because it has Famen Temple, where Buddhism is supreme.

[Daily Trip and Attraction Reviews]

D1(July 31): Guangzhou--Xianyang Airport--B & B near the airport (Xiyue Theme Inn in Xianyang Airport New City)

After work, I met my mother and son at the subway station and took the subway to Guangzhou Airport. Arrive at the North Airport Station (T2 Terminal) from 16:55 to 18:40. You can check in self-service here and check in self-service. Not many people pass the security check. It took less than 30 minutes for all procedures to be completed smoothly. Then we had dinner at the 72nd Street restaurant (ribs 33 yuan, steamed chicken 28 yuan, a pair of chicken wings 8 yuan, and white rice 9 yuan/3 bowls. Because there is a discount of 30-15 using the Cloud Flash Payment app, I used two accounts to pay, and the total was 21 yuan +27 yuan. I saved 30 yuan to buy a pork chop bag, and the food was not very delicious).

The flight was 20 minutes late to boarding and arrived at Xianyang Airport near 11 p.m. I contacted the owner of the B & B and picked up my luggage. The pick-up car arrived just in time. Due to my late arrival, I chose a B & B near the airport for this night. It was only a 10-minute drive. The B & B picked up for free. It was also a 7-seater business car, very convenient. Besides, the environment of the B & B is also very good. The rooms are large and clean, making it worth staying.

D2(August 01): Airport--Xi'an Urban Area--Forest of Steles Museum--Shushumen Cultural Street--Pucheng Restaurant for lunch--Xi'an City Wall--Hui Street--Baifu Steamed Roast Chicken Dinner---Stay 7Days Inn (Xi'an Railway Station Airport Bus Station Store)

There is no place to eat breakfast near the B & B, so I ordered 3 bowls of noisy noodles from the nearby restaurant for a total of 30 yuan. Then the owner of the B & B helped arrange a taxi back to Xi'an. The taxi for four people was 30 yuan per person, and the taxi for one person was 120 yuan. We chose to carpool, which was only 5 yuan more expensive than the airport bus per person. We arrived at the 7Days Inn Chain near the train station in about an hour, checked in, put down our luggage, and went out. I saw fresh walnuts on the way out of the hotel and walking to Wulukou Subway Station (within 10 minutes). Since it was the first time I saw fresh walnuts, I would definitely buy them and try them. It was 12 yuan per catty. I bought it for 20 yuan. It is indeed fresher and sweeter than dried walnuts, but it is a bit troublesome to peel the shells and remove the clothes, especially to remove the clothes. If you don't remove the clothes, it is a little astringent, but it is still much better than dried walnuts.

Take Metro Station Line 1 from Wulukou and get off at Yongningmen Station. The ticket price is 2 yuan. Follow the navigation and walk for about 20 minutes to the Stele Forest Museum. My mother is free of charge. I bought a set ticket with the city wall for 100 yuan. My son can buy a student ticket for 37 yuan. There is no city wall package for student tickets. But when we entered the door, it began to rain, and gradually it began to rain heavily. Then we took shelter from the rain in the corridor and ate some dry food to pass the time. The rain took more than half an hour.

There are not many tourists to the Forest of Steles Museum. There are many calligraphy steles by famous calligraphers. Friends who are interested in calligraphy must come!

From the Forest of Steles Museum, you can walk to Shuhuamen Cultural Street, and then have lunch at the nearby Pucheng Restaurant. It is already 3 p.m. after lunch, and I am ready to climb the Xi'an City Wall, also known as the Ming City Wall. The student ticket is 27 yuan. The water in the moat is relatively clear, and the potholed floor on the city wall is enough to witness the vicissitudes of history. Coupled with the city tower, the city wall of the Ming Dynasty is more elegant. In terms of grandeur, it cannot be compared with the Great Wall of Beijing.

The Yongning Gate at night is decorated with lights and colors, because there is a large-scale performance at night-"Dream Back to Chang 'an", which allows you to travel back to the Tang Dynasty and appreciate the glory of the Tang Dynasty.

On the way back to the hotel, I ran into a Baifu steamed roast chicken restaurant and bought two servings of roast chicken. The price was 55 yuan, which was very ordinary. Then I walked to Hui Street to join in the fun. Although the street was full of food shops, it was not very satisfying. It was best to only buy old yogurt at 10 yuan per bottle. This was very good.

D3(August 02): Qin Shihuang Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum--Gold Medal Old Bowl returned to the city (Xi'an Wangfujing Department Store) Dinner--7 Sutian Hotel Chain (Xi'an Railway Station Airport Bus Station Store)

In order to get to the Terracotta Warriors early, I bought Xiaolongbao for breakfast on the way to the East Square of the Railway Station. The operating hours of the No. 306 tourist bus are from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.. It faces Xi'an Railway Station and the East Square on the right. There is a waiting sign for No. 306. It goes to Mount Li first and then to the Terracotta Warriors. It takes about an hour to reach the Terracotta Warriors. Volunteers were arranged on the bus to introduce local history and culture, and stopped after the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum Conference to give a brief introduction. It was said that the public account recommended on the maps they sold would receive a voice introduction after paying attention to them and taking photos at the scenic spots. So I believed it, bought a map of the Terracotta Warriors, paid attention to the public account, and didn't hire a tour guide. However, in fact, every time it was reminded that the photo could not be recognized, so I never heard the voice introduction... hey

However, there are tour guides everywhere, so it is not difficult to explain, but to be honest, these explanations are not in-depth and are just briefly explained in those few locations, so they traveled quite quickly.

After visiting Pit No. 1, we will go to Pit No. 2 next to it. The scale is much smaller than that of Pit No. 1. Then there is the copper carriage exhibition hall. It is also crowded with people, and the glass protective cover is full of handprints. Coupled with reflection, it is too difficult to take good photos.

It's already dinner time to return to the city from the Terracotta Warriors. Tonight, I decided to try the Golden Medal Lao Bowl (Wangfujing Department Store). Xi'an's famous dish "Fenlet Chicken" is average, but wine-roasted chicken wings, cumin pancakes, and yogurt are all very good. After dinner, I quickly went back to the hotel to rest because I had to go to the Shaanxi Museum tomorrow.

D4(August 03): Shaanxi History Museum--Big Wild Goose Pagoda·Daci 'en Temple--Xiaoliu Tangbao (Yannan Road Store) Dinner--Stay at 7 Days Inn Chain Hotel (Xi'an Railway Station Airport Bus Station Store)

Take the subway and turn left at Xiaozhai Station Exit E and go straight for a few hundred meters to the Shaanxi Museum. Since we had booked tickets on the museum's official website in advance, we didn't need to rush to the scene too early to queue up, so we arrived at about 10 o'clock, when the line with free tickets had already turned two corners. 1-3 Hall No. 1 shows the development history from the Lantian people to the Tang Dynasty, Hall 5 is an exhibition of Hungarian royal families, Hall 7 is from Kazakhstan, and Hall 4 is an exhibition of cultural relics unearthed in Hejia Village, all of which are exhibitions of some copper coins and bronzes in the Tang Dynasty. Hall 6 is temporarily closed. The museum is a good place to understand historical development and is very suitable for taking a slow look.

The Tang Dynasty mural exhibition is free for people over 65 years old, and fresh graduates of primary and secondary schools are free with their graduation certificates. So I didn't go in to visit, only my mother and son went in to see. In fact, the historical value of murals is much higher than the artistic value.

It is not far from the Shaanxi Province Museum to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. As a royal temple in the Tang Dynasty, the incense here is still at its peak and has a sense of history.

I had dinner at Xiaoliu Tangbao Restaurant in Dayan Pagoda Square. I paid for it using ZFB word-of-mouth. There was a discount of 85 yuan off 6 yuan. The price was not expensive, but with the full discount, it was even more cost-effective. It was quite delicious and more suitable for Cantonese people. Light taste.

D5(August 04): Little Wild Goose Pagoda (Jianfu Temple) --Xiaoliu Soup Dumplings for lunch--I went back to the hotel for 7 days to pick up my simple luggage and walk to the Provincial Bus Station--Take the CMB to Fufeng County--Have dinner at the restaurant run by the hotel (Famen Flavor)--Stay at Fufeng Famen Temple Hotel

Take the subway to the exit of Nanshaomen Station, turn left, turn left at the intersection, and you will reach the Xiaoyan Pagoda in another 10 minutes. It's free. Unlike the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, the Little Wild Goose Pagoda is much quieter, but there are naturally not many things to see, and each has its own advantages.

I had lunch at Xiaoliu Tangbao Restaurant diagonally across the road from Xiaoyan Pagoda. On the one hand, it was on the way, and on the other hand, it was delicious and affordable. However, this lunch was a little rushed because I had to rush back to the hotel for 7 days to pick up my luggage and catch the bus to Famen Temple.

It was past 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and there were only 16:30 and 17: So we went to the Provincial Bus Station opposite Xi'an Railway Station and bought a CMB ticket to Fufeng County. Unexpectedly, at the regular ticket sales window of the Provincial Bus Station, we would also buy tickets for private minibuses that took provincial roads and picked up passengers on their way. As a result, the bus that left at 16 o'clock didn't arrive in Fufeng until 7:20, and then we took a Didi bus to the hotel (Didi fare is 13.39 yuan).

It was already 8 o'clock. This was a town without nightlife. Dinner could only be served at the restaurant "Famen Flavor" run by the hotel. Guests could get a 126-yuan discount and pay the bill. Fortunately, it was a good dinner.

D6 (August 05): Breakfast--Famen Temple--Eat vegetarian food in the temple for lunch--Take the bus at 2:40 and return to Chengxi Passenger Station--Go to Drunken Chang 'an (Bell Tower Store) for dinner--Wanda Plaza (Minle Park) Buy a letter--Stay 7Days Inn (Xi'an Railway Station Airport Bus Station Store)

Not far from the hotel to Famen Temple, we arrived at the entrance of the old temple of Famen Temple at 8:10. Since we bought tickets on Ctrip, we can enter directly by swiping our ID card. Elderly people over the age of 65 have to change tickets at the free ticket window, and students have to buy half-price tickets at the regular ticket window.

The front is the mountain gate. Go straight in and you will find the Daxiong Hall, then the True Body Pagoda, and on the left is the Treasure Pavilion Museum.

After visiting the old temple, of course, you have to come to the new temple to pay homage to the Buddha's relics. I specially arranged to come to Famen Temple on this day just to worship Buddha's relics. Buddha relics are enshrined in the Namaste shrine. They are lifted up to be worshipped by fated people on the first, fifteenth, Buddha's birthday and weekends. However, out of protection and respect, we can only observe them from afar. However, if we can witness the Buddha relics with our own eyes, we are already fated people, so we must cherish our blessings!

After worshiping the Buddha relics, go to the fasting hall (Cixin Guotang) on the first floor of the Nama-Shili Pagoda for lunch. The vegetarian meal is 35 yuan per person, and there is a half-price discount for seniors aged 65 or above. If you don't have enough vegetarian meal, you can ask for more after eating. The principle is not to waste it.

Come out at the entrance of the old temple and walk straight along the road. After passing the archway of the "Emperor's Buddhist Kingdom", continue to walk straight and reach a T-junction. There is a Simian Buddhist Temple opposite it. At the door is the direct bus from Famen Temple back to Xi'an Chengxi Passenger Station. If you take the highway, it will take 1.5 hours to reach Chengxi Passenger Station (Hancheng Road Subway Station). It will be full of people. Go back to the subway station, transfer to the subway and return to Bell Tower Station, and go to Drunken Chang 'an across the road for dinner. The decoration of the restaurant is very retro, and there are also beautiful women playing the guzheng on the first floor. There are many diners and they have to be ranked at night. We arrived early and the location was easy to find. The yogurt and thick wine were particularly good, and other products were also very good.

D7 (August 06): Have breakfast at Hairong Pot Pie Restaurant and Fanji Lazhi Roujiamo Restaurant-Xiangzi Temple-Gaojia Courtyard-Go to Narrow Alley Shaanxi Restaurant (Fenxiang Store) for lunch--Huimin Street--Dinner is settled at the Hui People's Restaurant--Go back to the hotel for 7 days to get your luggage and take the airport bus to the airport--Stay at a B & B near the airport (Xianyang Airport New City Qinyuan Hotel)

Today's trip was very easy. First, we went to Hairong pot stickers and Fanji Roujiamo for breakfast. By the way, in order to try both of the two time-honored brands, we went to two restaurants for breakfast. Haha, the two restaurants are not far away. They are both delicious. Then I went to the nearby Xiangzi Temple and Gaojia Courtyard for a stroll. The nearby Hua Grandma sour plum soup was really delicious. It was so comfortable to have a cup on a hot day! For lunch, I went to another popular store-narrow alley Shaanxi Restaurant. There are lichen scrambled eggs, a fungus, also called frog skin. It is a long-lost taste, and the yam juice is also delicious.

Then we returned to Hui Street. During the day, Hui Street was much more comfortable than the crowds at night. Although there were many snacks of various types, they were not what we liked, so we still only needed yogurt. There is a Turkish Feitian ice cream company that performs Feitian ice cream in its store. However, his method of selling ice cream is too "special" and he really dare not try it, haha. For dinner, we went to the Hui People's Restaurant, which had a large facade.

D8(August 07): Xianyang Airport--Guangzhou

The B & B owner sent it to the airport at 5:30 in the morning. Unexpectedly, there were many passengers taking the early flight. Fortunately, the staff was fast, but the security check was much stricter than in Guangzhou and took a little more time, but it was also very smooth. I boarded the plane and prepared to return to my warm home.

[Hotel Reviews]

1. Xianyang Airport New City Xiyue Theme Inn (99 yuan/night)

http://hotels.ctrip.com/Domestic/ShowHotelInformation.aspx? hotel=6108711

Comments: The owner of the B & B has a very good attitude, free airport transfers (whether it's a plane or a bus arriving), clean and comfortable, the room is large and clean, and the price is affordable. Nearby restaurants are still open late at night, but there are not many options for breakfast. Therefore, I recommend staying here for those who leave early or arrive late!!

2. 7Days Inn (Xi'an Railway Station Airport Bus Station Branch)(189 yuan/night)

Link: hotels.ctrip.com/Domestic/ShowHotelInformation.aspx? hotel=5444002

Comment: As a national chain of budget hotels, 7Days branch is basically the same in price and configuration and services. Although this 7Days branch is not in the lively area beyond the Bell Tower, it is still very convenient for tourists and relatively quiet. Don't worry about noise affecting your sleep. The railway station, provincial bus station, and subway station are nearby. It is convenient to go to various attractions. There are many small restaurants. Breakfast is no problem. Wanda Plaza is not far away, so I recommend it!

3. Fufeng Famen Temple Hotel (159/night)

Link: hotels.ctrip.com/Domestic/ShowHotelInformation.aspx? hotel=1985092

Comments: There are mainly small B & B hotels near Famen Temple, and there are few restaurants. Therefore, we chose Famen Temple Hotel. It is a relatively large-scale hotel. The rooms are clean and it also runs a restaurant. It is convenient to eat and the products are also very good. If you come to Famen Temple, I recommend it!

[Various time-honored brands and highly recommended restaurant reviews]

Since my son is a snack person, he can't help but browse all the recommended restaurants when studying the strategy and choose a few more famous ones to taste. There are also restaurants that he encountered on the road. Among them, the "Drunken Chang 'an" is the best and the environment is quite good. Xiaoliu Tangbao is also very good. The detailed comments are as follows:

1. Pucheng Restaurant

Near the Beilin Museum, I came across a restaurant. The price was a little more expensive, the environment was good, and the dishes were also good. Except for the Zhajiang noodles, it was the first dinner in Xi'an. Crispy pork ribs, fresh walnuts mixed with fungus, shredded pork in Beijing sauce, fried noodles, a total of 135 yuan.

2. Gold Medal Lao Bowl (Wangfujing Department Store)

Upstairs in Wangfujing Department Store, the store is large and you can take free millet porridge at your disposal. I ordered chicken wings roasted with wine for 38 yuan, fried noodles with fennel, yogurt, sour plum soup, and red dates paste. These are all very delicious. I also ordered fried yam with fungus. This is a normal product, but it doesn't lose it. As for gourd chicken and dried mixed noodles, it's just average. The total is 221 yuan, which is not expensive. I recommend it.

3. Xiaoliu Tangbao

There are many branches in Xiaoliu Tangbao. Three generations of us prefer the products of Xiaoliu Tangbao, so after eating two meals, soy pork trotters, soup dumplings, and millet sweet rice are all recommended, and the prices are moderate.

4. Drunken Chang 'an (Bell Tower Store)

This is also a store I like very much. The decoration is very classical. There is also a live guzheng performance on the first floor. The products are very good and popular, but the price is slightly expensive. I highly recommend it.

5. Hairong Pot Sticker Restaurant and Fanji Lazhi Roujiamo

The two old stores each have many branches and are very popular, especially Fanji Lazhi Roujiamo, which is very popular. The Roujiamo has a very fragrant meat flavor, a little fat, fat but not greasy, and not expensive.

6. Narrow Alley Shaanxi Restaurant (Fenxiang Store)

An Internet celebrity shop I found on the Internet is located in a small alley. It is also a very popular shop. Scrambled eggs with lichen (also called frog skin) are very delicious and have a long-lost taste. I didn't expect to eat them in Xi'an. I recommend them!

7. Weijia Cold Noodles

There are more branches of Weijia Liangpi, but in fact I don't think its Liangpi is that excellent, and Roujiamo is not outstanding either, so I don't recommend it.

8. Hui Restaurant

There is a big store on Huimin Street. The decoration is elegant and the service is good, but the products are not good and are terrible.

As a famous ancient capital in Chinese history except Beijing, Xi'an has done a good job in monuments, restaurants, and hotels. It is a place worth visiting!
