[Talk about this trip]

Chang 'an was prosperous and the Tang Dynasty was prosperous. Everyone has a Tang Dream in their hearts and a song that is sung repeatedly. "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty" sung by the Tang Dynasty band quietly left indelible traces in my memory--

Destiny is branded along the palm print. Tonight is sober and dreamy

Follow destiny into the myth and dream back to the Tang Dynasty

Tonight's cup reflects the bright moon, men farming and women weaving silk roads are busy

Tonight, the cup reflects the bright moon and the beautiful scenery, the treasures and the outstanding people

Tonight, the moon is reflected in the cup, the fragrance of paper and the flying ink fill the river

Tonight's cup reflects the bright moon, heroes, heroic spirit, and brocade brightness

……

Dreams originate from reality but are not the same as reality. I cannot travel through time and space and return to the Tang Dynasty.

But I can choose when and how to go to Xi'an. Take a weekend to meet three or five friends, rent a local RV, drive the RV around and around, and take a look at the busy Silk Road of the ancient capital of the thirteen dynasties. Standing at the eastern starting point of the Chang 'an Silk Road, use your eyes to look for the Wuhua Tianbao of eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, and carefully interpret the outstanding people with a history of five thousand years.

[About Transportation]

Xi'an is the only way in the northwest to the cities of the Central Plains, North China and East China. Xi'an is the largest western central city in the economic belt along the Longhai-Lanzhou-Xinjiang Railway. It has an important strategic position of connecting the east to the west and connecting the north and south. It is one of the largest node cities in the national trunk highway network.

Aircraft:Xi'an Xianyang International Airport is an important airport in China and it is very convenient to fly to Xi'an.

Train:Railway lines include Zhengzhou-Xi 'an High-speed Railway, Xibao High-speed Railway, Daxi Passenger Dedicated Line, Xicheng High-speed Railway, etc., which meet in Xi'an. You can choose which station to go to by train to Xi'an. Xi'an's railway stations include Xi'an Station, Xi'an North Railway Station, Xi'an South Railway Station, Afanggong Station, etc.

Xi'an North Railway Station is a high-speed rail station, and Xi'an North Railway Station belongs to Weiyang District. Most of the attractions visited on the second day are located in Yanta District. You can take the subway or take a taxi from Xi'an North Railway Station to Yanta District. If you take the subway, it costs 5 yuan, but if you take a taxi, it costs about 70 yuan.

Self-driving:With the increase of private cars, self-driving travel has become the first choice for more and more people. If you travel by car, try your best to avoid congestion and take the ring-city highway. If you encounter congestion, you should drive carefully when driving, not compete for it, and safety comes first.

[Practical Guide]

1. About self-driving

Only arriving safely is the shortest way. If you travel by car, please make transportation strategies in advance and check the round-trip mileage. If the vehicle is approaching the maintenance period, please maintain the vehicle in advance. If the round-trip mileage is within the maintenance period, the vehicle condition of the car needs to be checked before departure, including the inspection of tire wear, whether there is bulging, tire pressure, lights, brake discs, instruments, and safety warning signs. Hidden dangers are found, ruled out in advance.

Driving from Shijiazhuang to Xi'an takes an 810-kilometer drive. The whole journey takes 9 hours and 5 minutes at a high speed. High-speed driving should follow the principle of entering every three days, that is, you should take a break for about ten minutes every time you pass through the third service area to allow yourself and your car to slow down. For long-distance driving, it is best to have more than two drivers on the car, and drive in turn to avoid fatigue driving. When driving at high speeds, always pay attention to the amount of oil and be careful not to let the amount of oil fall below the warning line.

2. about fares

From August 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020, 53 A-level scenic spots in Xi'an will implement a ticket free reservation system. These include the Tang Furong Garden and Shaanxi History Museum for this trip. Tourists from other provinces can visit them with the green code, but they need to make online reservations in advance before traveling. During special periods, we must do a good job in protective work. Masks are a must-have item and cannot be separated from entering scenic spots and public travel.

3. About taking photos

A good-looking long dress paired with a shawl, and checking in to take photos can make you popular in your circle of friends and attract countless screens to lick. If conditions permit, you can bring a wide-angle camera and a telephoto. Taking the two lenses in turn will allow you to cope with it freely. Xi'an has a long history and a long cultural heritage, but it is a newly promoted Internet celebrity city. Every day, tourists are bustling and crowded with people. If you take night shots in the Tang Dynasty Sleepless City, don't bring a tripod. Practical conditions really do not allow it. There is no place to set up a tripod, just go and feel high. If you want to travel lightly, you can only bring a mobile phone.

4. About aerial photography

The control of drones in Xi'an is extremely strict. Flying is basically prohibited in scenic spots in the city. If your tours are all in the city, you can not bring drones.

[About accommodation and food]

Under the city wall of Xi'an people are Xi'an people's trains. Xi'an people have to eat paomo wherever they go. Xi'an people sing about the life of Xi'an people. This is the first time to Xi'an. If you want to experience Xi'an cuisine, it is recommended to go to Lianhu Historical and Cultural District first. This is also called Hui Street and is a famous snack street in Xi'an. It is one of the must-visit check-in spots to experience Xi'an cuisine. Century-old shops can be seen everywhere here, and there are not a few people who have been on CCTV. Lao Liu's biangbiang noodles, Lao Mi's pao buns, Lao Sun's pao buns... each family is next to the other, and there are long queues in front of each family.

It's not my first time to Xi'an, and I don't want to wait in long queues. There are various delicious restaurants around the city. Of course, ordering takeout is also a good choice. Pick a delicious restaurant and order a few delicious meals. After placing an order, you can wait for the delicious food to come to your door.

Regarding accommodation, you must follow the principle of proximity and the principle of one's ability, and choose a place close to your destination based on your own itinerary. Whether it is a star-rated hotel or a specialty B & B, cleanliness and hygiene come first. Coupled with the supporting catering services, it is excellent.

First, because the attractions are free, and second, because we want to experience different ways of traveling, we proudly chose to drive a RV to visit Chang 'an for this trip. The RV is SAIC Chase's RV80C. It has a large space and can accommodate 6 people traveling and 4 people resting at the same time. I really want to sit here and lie down if I want to. It's really as comfortable as it is. An automatic transmission RV can be driven by a C photo. Traveling with the house on your back is that simple and happy.

Originally planned to camp at the Seoul Lake RV Camp that night so that you could open the window early the next morning and see the scenery. Who knew that the autumn was high and the air was cold, and our friends were too delicate? After the barbecue at the RV camp, we went to the hotel honestly.

Tang Dynasty Furong Garden/Dream back to the prosperous place of Tang Dynasty and see all Chang 'an flowers in one day

Datang Furong Garden is located in Qujiang Development Zone, south of Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province, southeast of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. It was north of the original Tang Dynasty Furong Garden site and was rebuilt in imitation of the Tang Dynasty royal garden. It is China's first large-scale royal garden-style cultural theme park to comprehensively display the style of the Tang Dynasty. It covers an area of 1000 acres, including 300 acres of water area.

The Furong Garden of the Tang Dynasty is full of Tang culture. The sculptures and poems inside are representatives of the Tang Dynasty, and replicas of cultural relics from the Tang Dynasty all reflect the characteristics of the "Tang"; the nearly 80,000 square meters of imitation Tang buildings have been restored according to the original buildings. Antique buildings such as Ziyun Tower, Lady Hall, Yuyan Palace, Apricot Garden, Fanglin Garden, Fengming Jiutian Theater, and Tang City embody the architectural forms of the Tang Dynasty. It is simply a complete Tang Dynasty architectural textbook; With an investment of 60 million yuan in a lake fountain, you can watch the world's largest water curtain movie;"Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty" performed in the Lake Square is also worth looking forward to. Composer Zhao Jiping composed music, integrating song and dance, music, poetry, and recitation. In one, use sound, light, electricity and other art forms to fulfill your Tang Dynasty dream.

The bright lights echo the grand scenery of Furong Lake, presenting a magnificent and flexible magnificent scroll.

Shaanxi History Museum/Eight Hundred Miles Qinchuan Wuhua Tianbao, five thousand years of history outstanding people

The land of Sanqin is one of the important areas where the Chinese nation lived and thrived, and where Chinese civilization was born and developed. Thirteen dynasties, including the most glorious Zhou, Qin, Han, and Tang dynasties in Chinese history, once established their capitals here. Rich cultural relics and profound cultural accumulation have formed Shaanxi's unique historical and cultural features. The Shaanxi History Museum, known as the "Pearl of the Ancient Capital and the Treasure House of China", is an art palace displaying Shaanxi's history and culture and ancient Chinese civilization.

The origin of the Three Qin Dynasties starts from Xiang Yu. After the Qin Dynasty came and fell, Xiang Yu divided the land of Qin Dynasty to the three surrendered generals of the Qin Dynasty. Zhang Han was granted the title of King Yong and ruled the western part of Guanzhong; Sima Xin was granted the title of King Sai and ruled the eastern part of Guanzhong; Dong Yi was granted the title of King Zhai and ruled Shangjun (present-day northern Shaanxi). Therefore, Shaanxi is also known as the "Sanqin".

The exterior of the Shaanxi History Museum architecture highlights the style of the Tang Dynasty. The building consists of a group of imitation Tang style buildings with "central hall and four corners". The layout of the museum building has the structural characteristics of "symmetrical axes, orderly master and slave; central hall, four corners of the building". Combine the classical architectural style of the Tang Dynasty with the functions of modern museums, and integrate the architectural styles of ancient Chinese palaces and courtyards.

Walking into the Shaanxi Museum is like walking into the grudges and wrongs of the thirteen dynasties, the wars and struggles, the long-term feelings, and the short-term plans...

The Shaanxi History Museum has more than 370,000 cultural relics in its collection, ranging from simple stone tools used in the early stage of ancient humans to various artifacts in social life before 1840, covering a period of more than one million years. Among them are exquisite bronze wares of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, pottery figurines of various dynasties, gold and silver wares of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and murals of Tang tombs. It can be regarded as a symbol of Shaanxi's long history and culture. The Shaanxi History Museum is known as the "Chinese Treasure Warehouse" and the "Magnificent Hall of Chinese Civilization".

The cultural relics unearthed in the Hejiacun Cellar Collection are the most eye-catching part of the rich home of the Shaanxi History Museum. Since 2010, more than 300 of them have appeared on the first floor of the west exhibition hall of the museum, as the "Tang Dynasty Heritage-Hejiacun Cellar Unearthed Cultural Relics Exhibition" Special exhibition. In a sense, the "Tang Dynasty Heritage Treasures" exhibition hall is both affiliated with and independent of Shaanxi Expo. It is part of Shaanxi Expo, but viewing the exhibition requires separate tickets to enter. This system implements a daily flow restriction. Even so, it still cannot stop the enthusiasm of visitors. Tourists flock to it every day, forming long lines at the entrance of the exhibition hall early.

The original "two urns and one jar" are placed at the entrance of the exhibition hall. It is hard to imagine how these more than 1000 pieces of treasures were put into these three containers in the first place? Who is the owner of these treasures? Why is it buried underground? It is still an unsolved mystery. The lights in the exhibition hall are dimly lit, and only the exhibits are lit up, as if these treasures shine, making people pay attention and listen to the stories of the treasures themselves. It is a very test of photography skills to take a beautiful photo of these treasures here.

The agate cup inlaid with the head of a gold-inlaid animal is the "treasure of the town and museum" of Shaanxi Bo. It is also an isolated product at home. The state prohibits the export of cultural relics. The agate cup inlaid with a gold-inlaid animal head is one of the most exquisite jade articles in the Tang Dynasty. It is carved from an extremely rare piece of multicolored silk agate. The cup body imitates the shape of the animal horn. The front of the cup is carved into a cow's head, and the animal's mouth is inlaid with gold, which plays a finishing touch.

The Big Wild Goose Pagoda/Wild Goose Pagoda stands tall on the earth, and people drink at the tip of Qujiang River

The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is a landmark building and famous monument in Xi'an City, and a symbol of the ancient city of Xi'an. This ancient tower is painted by the Central Committee of the Xi'an City Emblem.

Speaking of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in Xi'an, it is necessary to talk about Xuanzang, the famous eminent monk of the Tang Dynasty, who was commonly known as the "Tang Priest" in later generations. In 643 AD, Xuanzang set off for China with great fame and brought 657 Buddhist scriptures back to China. In the first month of the 19th year of Zhenguan (645), Xuanzang arrived in Chang 'an. Later, with the support of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Xuanzang built a five-story tower in the west courtyard of Cien Temple in Chang 'an City, today's Big Wild Goose Pagoda, to store scriptures and statues brought from Tianzhu.

Dacien Temple is the most famous and magnificent Buddhist temple in Chang 'an City of the Tang Dynasty. It was built by imperial decree of the Tang Dynasty. It is a temple built under the auspices of the royal family. It has a prominent status and a grand scale. Xuanzang was the first abbot of Dacien Temple and was respectfully known as "Master Sanzang."

Walking closer to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, you can see the statue of Xuanzang, the eminent monk in front of the courtyard of the pagoda, heading west, seeking wisdom.

To this day, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is a must-check point when coming to Xi'an. Someone once said: Whoever puts a colorful pen in the sky will be proud of the wild goose characters. After many vicissitudes, I am still not old, and I am proud after many storms. The seventh floor is open and unique, and the eight sides touch the air unwavering. Many poets and poets compete with poets to write themes to this day.

The original architectural design of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was modeled on India's famous and only Buddha Prayer Tower-Buddha Gaya (Dajue Tower). It has 5 floors and 60 meters high. Later, Li Zhi, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, felt that this Indian-style building was a little inconsistent with the overall architectural style of Chang 'an City, so he renovated it and raised the Big Wild Goose Pagoda to 9 floors.

In the 32nd year of Wanli of the Ming Dynasty (1604), the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was repaired for the fifth time. This was a major maintenance and reinforcement project. On the basis of maintaining the basic shape of the Tang Dynasty tower body, the exterior is completely covered with a 60-cm-thick cladding. The tower is 64.5 meters high, the bottom edge of the tower base is 25 meters long, and covers an area of 2061 square meters. This is the Big Wild Goose Pagoda we see today.

Since its completion, celebrities from all walks of life have climbed high and looked into the distance, leaving countless good sentences that have been passed down through the ages. Du Fu wrote a tribute: "The high standard spans the sky, and the fierce wind never stops." Cen Shen wrote this-the famous sentence: "The tower is like gushing out, towering tall in the sky alone; climbing out of the world, kicking the road to the void." The poet's majestic descriptions and philosophical exclamations aroused resonance and endless reverie when people climbed the tower.

ye Weiyang

It was here that dreams began to travel through

Chang 'an night melts my complex that has been dusty for thousands of years

Chang 'an night, the heart will no longer be damaged in reincarnation

Chang 'an night, who knows your ancient rhyming annotations

Chang 'an night, my night

"Lantern Shadow Furong Night·Small Reunion in the World", this is Chang 'an in the prosperous era.

Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang/Tongguan Road, all the way west, still holds Qin Shi Huang

"Terracotta Warriors"-Li Shangyin

A group of people sincerely protects the emperor's spirit, but who says that local puppets are not ruthless?

The dragon cavalry is far north from Xianjing, and the battle formation is facing the Wei River in the east.

Zhifu shoots fish and takes poisonous pythons, and Dai Zong seals stones to provoke thunder.

Why are you willing to live in the Nine Fountains? Shake off the yellow dust and shock the world!

The original meaning of Li Shangyin's poem is: Sincerely guarding the tomb of the emperor. Who says that local puppets are ruthless? The First Emperor rode a dragon north away from the capital of Xianyang and came to the Wei River to form an array of deterrence. Shooting big fish to surrender poisonous pythons in Zhifu, and carving stones to Fengshan in Mount Tai triggered thunder in heaven and earth. How can I be willing to be a little ghost under the nine springs, shake off this cup of loess, and then surprise the whole world?

There is also a poem saying "Various feelings of viewing the Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses"

Li Shan drove the army with blood and whip, and his hegemony surged into the nine springs.

There are no guests hiding daggers under the tomb, so why do we need three thousand terracotta warriors?

It is said that the whip used to drive labor at the foot of Mount Li was soaked in blood, and the hegemony became prosperous and began to consider the situation after death. There was definitely no assassin hiding a dagger under the tomb, so how could he need 3,000 terracotta warriors?

The war between the six countries was wiped out, and there was no longer any competition in the world.

Speaking of Terracotta Warriors, I watched the TV series "Qin Shi Huang" when I was a child. Qin Shi Huang's life was quite controversial. First, he unified the six countries, and second, he burned books and buried scholars. The TV series also depicts Qin Shihuang's loneliness and helplessness. He was extremely cold at high places, and he was also the first person to declare himself emperor.

I still remember some words in the theme song:

Who is it that leveled the six countries?

Which unification dominates?

Who has a higher record than an orphan?

High above you, see?

My country is beautiful and picturesque

Climbing mountains, walking on the fog, pointing at the sky, laughing and laughing

Who else can praise me?

Qin was the first person to be here

Won the charm of the world

The stone is engraved with history

Tell me how I can dominate

Qin Shi Huang Terracotta Warriors, referred to as Qin Terracotta Warriors or Qin Terracotta Warriors, is a category of ancient tomb sculptures. Terracotta warriors are funeral objects made of clay in the shape of horses and horses. The Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin and the Terracotta Army Pit were approved by UNESCO to be included in the World Heritage List and are known as the "Eighth Wonder of the World".

"The War between Ancient and Modern Qin Terracotta Warriors" filmed by Zhang Yimou and Gong Li is a story that travels through ancient and modern times, with love, reluctance, and longing for the past. This movie has also made me have unspeakable feelings and curiosity about the Terracotta Warriors.

The Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is located north of Mount Li, east of Lintong District, Xi'an City. The Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit of Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum is the burial pit of Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum and the world's largest underground military museum.

Today, there are three pits open in the museum. Pit 1 is the largest and rectangular. It is a main army formation with tanks and infantry. More than 1000 pottery figurines, 8 chariots, 32 pottery horses, and nearly 10,000 pieces of various bronzes have been unearthed. Entering the No. 1 pit, an ancient army formation suddenly appears in front of you. It seems like the ancient battlefield with earth-shaking cries and roaring chariots is right in front of you. In a trance, it seems like these terracotta soldiers have already gone into battle, and their mission has never been changed for thousands of years.

It is said that when the terracotta warriors were first excavated, the colors painted on the faces and clothes of the people were still vaguely visible. Judging from the more than 1,000 pottery figurines and horses that have been sorted out and unearthed, there is almost no similarity. However, every surface of the terracotta soldiers I photographed from the telephoto lens is different, either smiling or thinking. There are battle-hardened veterans with beards and young people who have just entered the battlefield. It gives people the feeling that the entire terracotta warriors carry a strong atmosphere of life and emotion, as if they have been walking in the world and have never been buried on the ground. It also seems that they are living people, living their own military careers.

After thousands of years of wind, frost, snow and rain, buried deep under this yellow sky and thick soil. When they were immersed in darkness for thousands of years, the moment light shone through the gaps, they had attracted worldwide attention.

Time took away the hegemony of the Qin family and left behind the terracotta warriors that shocked the world. Each terracotta soldier had its own story, how it was made and placed, how it was discovered and restored. During this period, countless spring, summer, autumn and winter passed. Thousands of years of fighting and killing, they settled underground and stayed in the darkness, only serving as the terracotta soldiers of Qin Shi Huang. It was a beam of light that brought them to the world. In an instant, the colors on their bodies were weathered, their faces and expressions were still clearly visible, and their movements were still standard and perfect. The smile on the corner of their lips might be recognition of their destiny.

Why are you willing to live in the Nine Fountains? Shake off the yellow dust and shock the world!

[Write on the back]

A thousand-year-old ancient capital often comes to Chang 'an.

Here you can extend your memory further, so far that you can communicate with the Qin Emperor and so far that you can resonate with the Tang Dynasty.
