Xi'an has gradually become a new Internet celebrity city. In fact, Xi'an was portrayed in my mind a long time ago.

I describe what Xi'an should look like over and over again. In fact, I call it Xi'an. I prefer its former name Chang 'an. Hearing Chang' an, it reminds me of Chang 'an City on ancient TV. This is what I mean. You can feel its prosperity in Chang' an City.

Stroll through Chang 'an City to explore those mysterious stories. Tell about "Chang 'an"

Chang 'an is the ancient name of Xi'an. It was the first capital city in history called Beijing and the first city in the true sense of the word in history. During the reign of King Wen of Zhou, the capital was established here and Fengjing was built. After King Wu ascended the throne, Haojing was built again. It was collectively known as Fenghao, and Xi'an was abbreviated as hào. Chang 'an County was established in the fifth year of Gaozu of the Han Dynasty (202 BC), and Changle Palace was built on the basis of the south bank of the Weihe River, the north side of Afang Palace, and the Qin Xingle Palace. In the seventh year of Gaozu (200 BC), Weiyang Palace was built. In the same year, the capital moved from Liyang to this place. Because it is located in Chang' an Township, it was named Chang 'an City, meaning long-term peace and stability.

Chang 'an is the ancient capital of the thirteen dynasties. It is the capital city with the largest number of dynasties, the longest period of time, and the most influential in Chinese history. It ranks first among the four ancient capitals of China. It is the birthplace of Chinese civilization, the cradle of the Chinese nation, and an outstanding representative of Chinese culture., the world's largest city during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Chang 'an is the eastern starting point of the Silk Road and the starting point of the Grand Canal of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It is by far the only Chinese city identified by UNESCO as a world historical city. Along with Athens, Rome and Cairo, it is called the world's four major ancient capitals of civilizations. It has a history of more than 7000 years of civilization, more than 3100 years of city building and more than 1200 years of capital building (excluding accompanying capitals). In history, 13 dynasties including Zhou, Qin, Han, Sui, and Tang established their capitals here. During the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, the permanent population was 1.85 million. As the capital and political, economic and cultural center of China for more than a thousand years, it is known as the Natural History Museum and an internationally renowned tourist destination city.

Chang 'an culture has a far-reaching influence. Since the Zhou, Qin, Han, Sui and Tang, which established Chang' an as the capital, were the most powerful and civilized golden ages in ancient China, after the Tang Dynasty, although Chang 'an was no longer the capital, the word Chang' an became a nickname for the capital. Chang 'an Street, the most important and most famous First Street in Shenzhou in Beijing today, is named after ancient Chang' an.

Lost in Chang 'an City

DAY1 Xi'an City Wall--Shaanxi History Museum--Big Wild Goose Pagoda--Tang Dynasty Sleepless City--Hui Street

DAY2 Qin Shihuang Terracotta Warriors and Horses--Yongxing Square--Bell/Drum Tower

DAY3 Hui Street--Return journey

I clearly remember that it was already past 1 o'clock in the morning when I arrived in Xi'an. Don't ask me why I wanted to book a ticket so late... Because it is cheap, cheap;

It was raining cats and dogs all the time in Xi'an, and as soon as I got off the bus, I started to get on the shuttle bus. However, the shuttle bus did not arrive for 10 minutes, did not arrive after 15 minutes, and did not arrive in 20 minutes. Am I still at the airport? And I also passed through a tunnel. If I weren't still sitting on the shuttle bus, I would have thought I was out of the airport. Xi'an refreshed my understanding of shuttle buses, and then I was greeted by heavy rain. This is how you welcome your strangers. This is Xi'an's first impression, the first impression that is deeply remembered.

DAY 1 City Wall-History Museum-Big Wild Goose Pagoda-Tang Dynasty Sleepless City

When I got up early in the morning, I headed for the city wall of Xi'an. The city wall was not far from where I lived. I didn't walk long after breakfast.

Xi'an City Wall, the oldest and most completely preserved ancient city wall building in the world, continues the historical context of the entire ancient capital Chang' an, and uses its unique charm to bloom its grandeur, grandeur and broadness to the world, showing the world The depth, wisdom and inclusiveness of the ancient capital.

The circumference of Xi'an City Wall is 13.74 kilometers, including a series of military facilities such as moat, suspension bridges, sluice towers, arrow towers, towers, corner towers, enemy towers, parapet walls, and battlements. The five-in-one wall, forest, road and alley has organically become an important landmark symbol and spiritual home of Xi'an, an international metropolis with historical and cultural characteristics.

The city wall is rectangular and has four city gates: South Gate (Yongning Gate); East Gate (Changle Gate); West Gate (Anding Gate); and North Gate (Anyuan Gate)

Admission: 54 yuan, you can go to each gate, and you can rent a bicycle for 50 yuan per person. People like me who can rent bicycles don't exist. My means of transportation, the No. 11 bus, runs all over the corner.

Above the city wall, you can see the houses below,

There were not many people on the city wall,

Special attention should be paid to that smoking is not allowed on the city wall. Smoking is only allowed in designated places (toilets). Friends who want to smoke should pay special attention.

This is the bag that I appeared to carry, 55L, and I want to carry it all the way.

It is also used to traveling with me and has traveled many places.

I have also seen many scenery and felt the four seasons of the year...

People passing and passing under the city wall.

When foreigners go to Xi'an, they feel the most about the city wall. This is the symbol of Xi'an. What is an ancient capital? You can probably know by looking at the city wall. The first time I climbed the city wall of Xi'an was actually quite shocking. I am a person who likes fantasy. The city wall of Xi'an can give you unlimited illusions.

I saw a couple taking wedding photos on the city wall. They were very beautiful.

Special reminder: If you don't like walking, you can rent a car. Although it's a little expensive, it does take several kilometers to walk. The total length is 13 kilometers, and it takes 6 kilometers to walk the city gate in both directions.

There were also an endless stream of people in the alleys below the city wall.

If it weren't for the rush of time, perhaps my favorite thing would be to walk through these alleys,

Only in the alleys can you feel the atmosphere of quality.

The city is full of ancient customs. In addition to the modern buildings in the distance, the nearby buildings are mainly low-rise residential buildings. There is a commercial street that has also been imitated and designed into an ancient style, with cornices and black tiles, and the ground is mostly paved with blue bricks. Set against it!

Nowadays, high-rise buildings are not allowed inside the city wall. Only modern high-rise buildings are available outside. This is also a kind of protection for the ancient city. Otherwise, there will be high-rise buildings on both sides, which will lose the flavor of history. {data:{has_more:true,html:

Over the long historical years, various changes have taken place in the city gate. A detailed count of the names of these gates also reflects the ups and downs of the ancient city from one aspect. South Gate: This is the oldest and longest used gate in Xi'an. It was built in the early Sui Dynasty. At that time, it was the east-by-east of the three gates in the south of the Imperial City, called the Anmen Gate. When Han built a new city in the late Tang Dynasty, it was reserved for the south gate, but renamed Yongning Gate in the Ming Dynasty. It is also now the most completely restored one of the city gates. Now, because the south gate itself is a precious cultural relic, vehicles and pedestrians entering and leaving the south gate only pass through the separate ticket holes on the east and west sides of the auxiliary gate.

I had been on the city wall for almost three hours. I walked from the West Gate to the East Gate, passing by the South Gate to the East Gate. Due to time constraints, I had to come down first. After all, the North Gate must still be the same. It would be enough to experience it for a while., and then I walked 7 kilometers. Therefore, people who are not used to walking should not stay far above, but they can come down early. There are many upper and lower holes above, which is also very convenient.

I looked at the map from under the city gate. It seemed to be only 4 kilometers away from the Shaanxi History Museum. I found that there were Hallo bicycles beside it, so I quickly swept a bicycle and set off.

In fact, you can still get to know a little bit about the city by riding on the road, so you usually try not to take a car when conditions permit, but choose to ride a bicycle. Ordinary people rarely have this time to experience this. After all, they are all check-in mode., there is not so much leisure for us to experience.

When I was approaching the History Museum, I saw a roujiamo shop. I quickly bought one and ate it. I was so hungry.

Shaanxi History Museum is located on the northwest side of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in Xi'an. It was established in 1983 and was completed and opened on June 20, 1991. It is China's first large-scale modern national museum. Its completion marks the beginning of a new development for China's museum industry. Milestone. This museum building is a Tang-style building with a central hall and buildings in four corners. The primary and secondary are orderly, the heights are scattered, and the momentum is vigorous and solemn, integrating national traditions, local characteristics and the spirit of the times. The museum area covers an area of 65000 square meters. The construction area is 55600 square meters, the cultural relics reservoir area is 8000 square meters, and the exhibition hall area is 11000 square meters. There are more than 370000 cultural relics in the collection, ranging from simple stone tools used in the initial stage of ancient humans to various artifacts in social life before 1840, covering a period of more than one million years. Cultural relics are not only large in number and variety, but also of high quality and wide in value. Among them, the bronze wares of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties are exquisite. The pottery figurines of the past dynasties are in various shapes. The gold and silver wares of the Han and Tang Dynasties are unique in the country, and the murals of the Tang tombs are unparalleled in the world. It can be described as a dazzling array of high-quality products.

Summary of tickets and explanations:

1. If you want to book a free ticket on the official website, you must make it early. It is said that it is easy to miss an appointment. I just went to the official website to take a look and passed it.

If you successfully book your tickets, arrive early that day, otherwise the queue to pick up your tickets may cause you to collapse.

If you don't want to queue up, you can buy a ticket for the Treasure Hall for 30 yuan.

2. Explain must, must, must be invited. There is an electronic explanation device on the left hand side of the museum. I strongly recommend that everyone please explain manually. The difference is not a little bit ~

3. It is not recommended to give explanations without authorization. First, everyone now issues headphones, and the tour guide's voice is not loud and may not be able to hear clearly at all. Secondly, if you want to hear it clearly, you have to squeeze yourself to the tour guide. The original members of this group may not see the cultural relics, and the tour guide will find a way to get rid of you when they discover it (don't ask me how I know)

4. If you want to see cultural relics, don't be too reserved, just follow his footsteps and rush in. Personally, the visiting experience believes that listening and watching are the main focus, and taking photos is the supplement.

Because it was too difficult to book tickets, I bought a ticket for Tang Dynasty relics for 30 yuan directly, with the History Museum attached. The advantage of this was that you could enter directly without queuing.

Be sure to ask people to explain it, remember it, otherwise you won't understand anything. The main reason is that you usually read less historical things and don't understand much.

The explanation fee is as follows:

Ancient civilization in Shaanxi (basic display, free visit): 100 yuan for Chinese explanation, 150 yuan for English explanation

Tang Dynasty Heritage Exhibition (special exhibition, ticket price is RMB 30): RMB 50 for Chinese explanation, RMB 100 for English explanation

Tang Dynasty Mural Treasures Museum (special exhibition, ticket price: RMB 300): RMB 50 for Chinese explanations, RMB 100 for English explanations

Note: One guide can lead up to 10 tourists.

We pieced together in the hall and got 10 people to split the 15 yuan each. The museum explanation time was about 1 hour, and the Tang Dynasty relics explanation time was about 30 minutes.

Since its opening, we have given full play to the advantages of cultural relics collections, adhered to the principles of effective protection, rational utilization, and strengthened management, organically combined the functions of collection and storage, scientific research, and publicity and education, and held various forms of display exhibitions, forming a basic display, A display system in which special exhibitions and temporary exhibitions complement and complement each other reveals the rich cultural connotations of historical relics to a broad audience from multiple angles and aspects, and demonstrates the profound and profound civilized achievements of the Chinese nation. At the same time, they go abroad with an open attitude and present the splendid Chinese civilization and dazzling Sanqin culture to people around the world.

Tang tomb murals are unique and precious collections of the Shaanxi History Museum. There are nearly 600 fine murals from more than 20 Tang tombs, covering more than 1000 square meters. Among them, 5 pieces (groups) and 18 pieces were designated as national treasures by the country, and 69 pieces (groups) and 82 pieces were designated as first-class products. With unique architecture, simple and vivid characters, distinctive artifacts, concise and lively mountains and rivers, and lifelike animals and plants, the murals of the Tang tomb depict the etiquette norms, living customs, clothing characteristics, entertainment methods and architectural styles of the time. It is an important image material for studying social life in the Tang Dynasty, especially aristocratic life and spiritual pursuits. At the same time, the murals of the Tang tombs are extremely fragile and require high preservation conditions. In order to protect and make good use of the murals of the Tang tombs, we decided to build a Tang tomb mural museum that integrates protection, research and viewing.

This is the treasure of the town: the Tang Dynasty Beast Head Agate Cup

The Tang beast head agate cup is 15.6 centimeters long and 5.9 centimeters in diameter. It is made of excellent materials and cleverly utilizes the beautiful color and texture of jade materials. The cup body is horn-shaped and the head of a beast, and the horns of the beast are cup handles. The mouth is inlaid with a gold hat, and the eyes, ears and nose are all painted in detail and precision. It is a product of cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries in the Tang Dynasty.

The upper mouth of the Tang beast-head agate cup is nearly round, and the lower part is in the shape of a beast-head. The beast-head has big eyes and looks forward as if to be looking for and prying for something. There are two curved antelope horns on the beast-head head, but the face is like a cow, so it cannot be considered that the shape is entirely realistic, but it looks peaceful and elegant without any sense of artifice. The nose of the animal head has a halter-like golden hair that can be removed, highlighting the color and beauty of the animal head.

I heard that all the things in the Tang Dynasty relics were taken out of these three cans.

After visiting the History Museum, a friend of mine from Xi'an just happened to have free time and got together. He had been waiting at the door for a long time, and a local person took me to Xi'an. Oh yeah.

Unconsciously, I walked to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.

Ahhahahaha, this video is my first impression of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. Today, I finally witnessed the real Big Wild Goose Pagoda.

The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is located in Dacien Temple in the south of the city. Dacien Temple was the most magnificent royal temple in Chang 'an City in the Tang Dynasty. It was built during the Tang Taizong period. It was built by Prince Li Zhi in memory of his mother, Queen Wende. It was first presided over by Master Xuanzang, who returned from traveling westward to learn scriptures. During this period, the master supervised the construction of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. Master Xuanzang translated Buddhist scriptures and promoted Dharma in Dacien Temple for 11 years, and founded the Xiangweishi Sect of Buddhism, making Dacien Temple the ancestral home of Weishi Sect (also known as Faxian Sect). During this period, the Master personally supervised the construction of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in order to worship Buddhist statues and relics returned from India. Today's Dacien Temple was built on the basis of the original temple Xita Courtyard in the Ming Dynasty, while most of the existing halls are Qing Dynasty buildings. The main buildings on the central axis of the temple are Daxiong Hall, Dharma Hall, Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and Xuanzang Sanzang Courtyard.

The Big Wild Goose Pagoda was built by Master Xuanzang after retrieving the true scriptures from India, and asked the court to build it for the Buddhist scriptures and translate the scriptures. It's been so long that you can't see much of what it looked like in the past. When you climb to the top layer, you can have a panoramic view of the city. Of course, there are a lot of people ~ When you leave the tower and sit under the tower, you can hear the sound of bells on the tower when the wind blows, which is very nice. In short, calm down here and slow down.

Tickets: 30 yuan

The bronze statue of Master Xuanzang on the square in front of Dacien Temple is crowded with people at night. This place is also a popular spot.

Next to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is a Joy City. There is a two-story-tall Great Sage in Joy City. There is Tang Priest outside and the Great Sage inside. Where have Bajie and Monk Sand gone?

It was already evening when I walked out of Joy City, and I was a little hungry. I just happened to see a Shaanxi restaurant with generous and simple decoration, Chef's Restaurant

Go and try Shaanxi cuisine

The store's environment is simple and simple, with stone walls and wooden benches and wooden tables, giving a strong Shaanxi flavor.

How can I not have a can of Ice Peak, my favorite drink? It doesn't taste too good.

When you come to Xi'an, you must name gourd chicken

Gourd chicken is the signature dish of the chef's restaurant. It has crispy chicken skin, but the chicken is extremely tender. Coupled with dipping, the meat is fragrant but not greasy, and it has endless aftertaste.

After ordering a few dishes, the two of them ate very well. After eating, the lights outside turned on just now.

The Central Axis Landscape Avenue of the Tang Dynasty Sleepless City is a 1500-meter central sculpture landscape pedestrian street that runs across the north and south. It is dotted with nine groups of themed carvings such as emperors, historical figures, and heroic stories, showing the Tang Empire's role in religion, literature, art, science and technology and other fields and highlighting the atmosphere of a great country. Relying on the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, the Tang Dynasty Sleepless City starts from Xuanzang Square in the north, ends at Tang City Wall Ruins Park in the south, starts from Cien East Road in the east, and ends at Cien West Road in the west. It runs through Xuanzang Square, Zhenguan Cultural Square, and Kaiyuan Celebration Square in three theme squares, six imitation Tang blocks and four cultural buildings, Xi'an Concert Hall, Xi'an Grand Theater, Qujiang Film City, and Shaanxi Artists Exhibition Gallery.

You have to ask me: Where is the city with the most beautiful night view? My answer is Xi'an!

Friends who have been to Xi'an may have this consensus. When you walk to the Tang Dynasty City that never sleeps, you will be shocked by the beautiful night view there.

Colorful lights, colorful light sets, and dazzling spotlights shine on the entire city of Xi'an. Beautiful Xi'an is really a city that never sleeps."

The spacious streets and all kinds of colorful lights deeply attracted me and made me very shocked and excited. The night view here is so atmospheric, and the whole city is brightly lit and colorful.

When you come here, you will meet the beauty of the Tang Dynasty and the title of the ancient capital of the thirteen dynasties. The prosperity of Xi'an has its own different brilliance in each era.

The bones of this city flow with a luxurious and peaceful atmosphere. The Tang Dynasty Sleepless City perfectly transformed this temperament into the collision with modern civilization.

It has a unique flavor. Coming here at night to play is like really returning to Chang 'an thousands of years ago. It is like walking on the bustling Chang' an Street and dreaming of returning to Chang 'an. It is full of people and stays all night long.

The lanterns are interspersed with large and small stages, and traditional literary and artistic performances are held at fixed times. Here, you can enjoy the unique Shaanxi characteristics of the Roaring Qin Opera, Huazhou Shadow Play, Huayin Lao Opera, etc. in one stop.

Most China looks at Xi'an

After seeing the City that Never Sleeps, I am preparing to go back to the nation next stop.

Ahahahaha, because I am tired from walking, I need to eat something to replenish, replenish.

The advantage of Huimin Street is that it does not charge tickets and then it is all food.

When I arrived at Xi'an Hui Street, I wrote it at the front: Don't eat anything on the most prosperous main road,

What is the reason? The main road is mainly dominated by tourists from other places. Many tourists take the main road and then see many things on the main road...

Everything on the main road is prepared for tourists. If you really like to eat, you can walk a few more steps and eat in the small alley around the corner.

The things in the small alleys are prepared for local people, and then you can tell for yourself whether they are delicious or not.

Also known as Crystal Dragon and Phoenix Cake, it uses glutinous rice and red dates as raw materials, stacked in three or four layers. Steam over high or low heat. Bright color, red and white, sticky, sweet and delicious. It is a traditional breakfast food in Guanzhong area. It is a sweet cake made from glutinous rice and red dates.

There are all kinds of delicious food inside.

Hui Street is not just a street. It is the collective name of multiple streets in the central Hui gathering area of Xi'an City.

This is a concentrated place for Xi'an snacks. As a century-old Huimin District, you can still feel the strong Muslim atmosphere here.

Hui Street at night is different from that during the day. The whole street is shrouded in a strong atmosphere of the market. Various pavements with electric lights and steam lights are scattered on both sides of the road, mainly selling cakes, dried fruits, candied fruits, and snacks. Behind these stalls are many restaurants that sell local snacks. When there are many people, not only are the shops crowded, but even the entrances are filled with tables and chairs.

Red Willow Barbecue

The bustling crowd on Huimin Street is still very popular

I didn't even dare to eat the fried pomegranate juice, so I just took a look.

Barbecue on the main road

At 12 o'clock in the evening, there was still an endless stream of people.

DAY 2 Qin Shihuang Terracotta Warriors and Horses--Yongxing Square--Bell/Drum Tower

The day before, I booked a ticket to the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang on Ctrip at night and got on the bus at the designated location in the city. Since I set a time to gather at 11 o'clock,

I just had time to have breakfast in the morning, so I got up and rode a shared bicycle to the nearby Hui Street.

Passing by a Lao Liu's spicy soup shop, I had to go in and try it. There was an endless stream of people at the door.

The outside environment looks like an ordinary small shop, quite clean. [Service] Maybe because we had breakfast, there was no one around. The waiter was very enthusiastic. Early in the morning, I ate a portion alone. The amount was very large. How could I eat it?[Cover my face]| Meatball Hu spicy soup ^is actually vegetable soup. It is mixed with some corn flour to make it taste a little sticky. With various seasonings, the taste is relatively strong, and I like the taste better. And there are many special people.

After eating Hu La Tang, I checked that the time was just right and it was almost the appointed gathering time. I walked out of the door and took a taxi to the gathering point.

I saw that everyone was here. It was a small commercial vehicle. We had about 10 tourists in one vehicle. We were also equipped with a guide, which was not bad.

When we arrived at the museum, the tour guide changed the tickets for us, and we could enter after exchanging the tickets.

In March 1974, while Mr. Yang Zhifa, a villager in Xiyang Village in the east of the mausoleum, was digging a well against drought, a large-scale terracotta warriors pit in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang was discovered between Xiahe Village and Wula Village, three miles east of the tomb. After excavation by archaeologists, the treasure of Qin terracotta warriors buried underground more than 2000 years ago was uncovered. In 1975, the state decided to build a museum on the original site of Yukeng. On October 1, 1979, the Qin Shi Huang Terracotta Warriors Museum began to display to domestic and foreign visitors. At about 1 pm on June 13, 2009, the No. 1 Terracotta Warriors and Horses in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang was excavated again. Later, in the middle section of the northern part of the No. 1 pit, colorful Terracotta Warriors and Horses were unearthed, but they were oxidized shortly after being unearthed. The burial pit of Qin Shihuang's Terracotta Warriors and Horses is the world's largest underground ancient military museum.

Although it is already off-season, there are still many tourists. If you want to grab a better shooting spot, you have to squeeze in. Even if you squeeze in, you will be pushed away by others. It's really difficult, there are just too many people.

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 in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is the burial pit of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, located 1500 meters east of the cemetery. The burial pits of Terracotta Warriors and Horses in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang face west to east, and the three pits are arranged in a triangular shape. The total area is 19120 square meters, which is as big as more than 50 basketball courts. There are more than 8,000 terracotta warriors in the pit. The earliest discovered pit was No. 1, which is also the largest. It is rectangular in shape, 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 and horses in the pit. There are sloped doorways on all sides. There are also two terracotta warriors pits on the left and right sides, now called Pit No. 2 and Pit No. 3. The layout of the pit is reasonable and the structure is unique. At the bottom of the pit, which is about 5 meters deep, an east-west load-bearing wall is built every 3 meters. Terracotta warriors are arranged in the hole.

When visiting the Qin Shihuang Terracotta Warriors Museum, what we lamented most was the making skills and wisdom of ancient craftsmen, because when we looked closer, we found that each Terracotta Warriors really looked different, and the clothes of some Terracotta Warriors were even very exquisite.

Also, there is still a guide to explain at the Terracotta Warriors Museum. Without a guide to explain, you will not understand many historical things.

There is also that the soil you can touch on the inside and outside of the Terracotta Warriors is not real soil, because the soil on the side has been replaced with the current soil, just for fear of being touched by tourists.

In the second half of the journey, we had to lament the restoration skills and spirit of contemporary craftsmen countless times.

When the terracotta warriors were unearthed, many of them were actually as fragmented as the picture below.

They were all slowly restored by the professionals in the museum over the countless nights after the tourists left.

Only now can we see so many terracotta warriors as complete as the picture above.

The collections of the Qin Shi Huang Terracotta Warriors Museum are indeed amazing! Although the museum is crowded, it is impossible to calm down and watch it carefully, the guide's professional collection knowledge, excellent eloquence and thoughtful guide service make up for this regret, allowing us to have a deeper understanding of our country's ancient civilization during the visit. A further in-depth understanding, amazement and admiration for the wisdom and wisdom of our ancestors, and a strong sense of national pride, so the trip is definitely worth it.

Another point is that this Ctrip newspaper group will eventually take you to the shopping store inside the Terracotta Warriors. Although you don't have to buy anything, you still like this very much.

Because I t like shopping and came out early,

Seeing a particularly beautiful piece of fallen flowers, I took pictures.

Not long after, the young lady who was in the same car with me also saw this beautiful falling flowers and saw me taking pictures.

She asked me to help take a few photos. When I saw that there were still 20 minutes before the assembly time, I helped her take a few photos, and then I got the following photos.

When we arrived at the assembly point, the car drove to Yongxing Square and disbanded.

Yongxing Square, originally the former site of Weizheng Mansion in the Tang Dynasty, was built on the original site in 2007 by Xi'an City in order to continue to improve the historical features of Shuncheng Lane, fully demonstrate the historical heritage of the ancient city, and expand Xi'an's popularity and influence. It has added another high-quality project to the ancient city. The project covers a total area of 15 acres, with a length of 130 meters from east to west and a width of 88 meters from north to south. According to the planning, it is planned to build antique squares, four buildings, archways, leisure and green squares, inner streets, wells and antique exterior walls of buildings, etc., mainly The Guanzhong archway and building complexes with folk traditions are combined to form a Gulifang layout, displaying the neighborhood form and historical life atmosphere of ancient Chang 'an City, as well as traditional folk living space.

Xi'an Yongxing Square brings together snacks from all over Xi'an. Outsiders can visit it as an attraction and try snacks.

If you want to taste the local food in Xi'an, you should not go here. There are too many people here, and there are only a long line for those with a little special characteristics. There are children here to join in the fun.

It brings together various specialty delicacies from Xi'an, especially pasta.

In the heyday of Chang 'an, there were 108 squares and two cities in the east and west. The squares lived in peace and the two cities enjoyed their careers. They did not pick up relics on the road and did not close their doors at night. Everywhere was prosperous and all industries were prosperous. The so-called atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty. Yongxing Square, Yongxing Square is small, but it is neat and clean, with no vehicles passing through it disturbing the ears. The refreshing and clean environment and distinctive decoration arrangements make people happy. Walking through it, you can slowly turn around and look slowly, even if it is crowded, it is soft.

Shops, no matter how big or small, are busy with their daily work seriously and carefully. Although the days are boring and repeated, tourists are changing at any time. Yongxing Square's inheritance lies in 'keeping inheritance with ingenuity and seeking development with original intention.', only if you are distracted can you have a certain attitude and achieve something. I believe Yongxing Square can live up to expectations and prosper forever.

Zichang Pancakes

The location is easy to find. You can see it as soon as you turn a corner. It is very popular and the queue is lined up outside the door. I don't want to miss it, but I also want to try it.

His family's pancakes come in many flavors, including pork knuckle, crispy pork, shredded potatoes, dried tofu, leek eggs, etc.

The most popular thing about Yongxingfang in Xi'an is throwing bowls of wine. The shaking sound has made Xi'an tourism popular, and it has also made throwing bowls of wine popular. As a result, Yongxingfang has become a place for Internet celebrities to check in. No matter when you come here, a large number of tourists line up every day to break bowls, costing 5 yuan a bowl of wine.

After visiting Yongxing Square, we set off for the Bell and Drum Tower.

Xi'an Drum Tower is located in the center of the ancient capital of Xi'an City, about 200 meters northwest of Xi'an Bell Tower at the intersection of four streets, east, west, north and south within the Ming City Wall. Built in 1380 in the 13th year of Hongwu of Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, it is one of the largest and most completely preserved drum towers left over from ancient China.

Xi'an Drum Tower is built on a square base. It is a brick-and-wood structure. The top is in the form of a double eaves. It has a total height of 36 meters and covers an area of 1377 square meters. There are stairs that can be spiraled up. The eaves are covered with dark green glazed tiles. The building is painted with gold, painted with carved beams, and has a gilded roof on the top. It is a landmark building in Xi'an.

Xi'an Bell Tower was built in the 17th year of Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty (1384). Its original site was at Guangji Street, Jinxi Street, facing the Drum Tower. In the past, a large clock was hung upstairs to warn the police and tell the time, hence the name was the Bell Tower.

The entire bell tower is mainly of brick and wood structure, built on a square base made of blue bricks and white ash. The building is a wooden structure, with three rooms in depth and three rooms in width.

The total height from the ground to the roof is 36 meters and consists of three parts: the base, the body and the roof. The square base of the lower masonry structure is 8.6 meters high, each side is 35.5 meters long, and has an area of about 1,377.4 square meters. There are stairs inside that can be spiraled up. Above the base is a two-story wooden structure building, which consists of empty cylindrical corridors on all sides and overlapping cornices, and is 27 meters high. The platform from the steps up to the base leads to the first floor hall. There are doors on all sides of the hall, surrounded by a platform, with a grid painted caisson well on the top, and wooden grid windows and doors on all sides on the second floor communicating with the outer corridor.

DAY 3 Hui Street--Return Trip

Then we went to Hui Street for breakfast,

I accidentally discovered that many local people were feasting on this liver soup shop, so I entered and decided to try it. There is a large pot at the door, with thick mutton soup rolling in the pot. Inside there was a woman collecting money and cutting sheep offal. The ingredients inside are also super rich. An ordinary serving is 17 yuan, as well as high-quality ones and ones with liver and lungs removed. Add steamed buns and add 1 yuan. After slicing the liver miscellaneous, scoop up the soup and break it up and put it in if you need it. The taste is still very good. It's delicious. Worth recommending.

It tastes great with a little pepper.

There are many queues for the popular time-honored brands on Huimin Street during holidays. The soup is too greasy and tastes okay. You can try it, but don't order too much, it will be wasted. Try it as a snack, don't expect too much. [Crispy Pork] The 28-yuan crispy Pork is steamed individually one after another. After ordering, it is served directly from the steamer. It is steaming hot. The crispy meat absorbs a lot of oil during the frying process, so a lot of oil is spat into the soup water during cooking. The thick layer looks quite high in calories. Fortunately, the crispy meat itself will not be very fat. It is thinner, so it will not taste so sinful. The crispy meat is still very shaped in lumps, soft in taste and thick in powder. It's not particularly amazing, but it's good. [Rice] 2 yuan a bowl. Be sure to order a bowl. It is very important to eat it with crispy meat. He and the store next to him are both time-honored Internet celebrities, so the queue during holidays is very spectacular.

There were a lot of people in line, everyone was here to buy meat. I also ordered a roujiamo for 15 yuan each. It tasted good.

I bought an unknown meatloaf and tasted it. It tasted good. Delicious.

As one of the representatives of Xi'an customs, there are many streets in the neighborhood, with strong Islamic-style buildings, and halal food cities, hotels, mosques, and Hui living areas complement each other. Walking in the neighborhood, you can see commercial outlets that blend traditional Chinese architectural styles and Muslim architectural styles everywhere. Ethnic costumes, handicrafts, halal non-staple foods, restaurants and a wide variety of Hui snack bars come to your face.

A small stall placed on the roadside.

pomegranate juice

This is a kind I heard called wolf cake, but I didn't have the courage to try it or not. The main reason is that I am too full of other things.

On the streets of Huimin Street, leisure people are always wandering in crowds.

to be continued

After walking many places, I finally arrived in Xi'an, which I had wanted to come to for a long time. Xi'an, the ancient capital, has always been revered because it has a long history of the imperial capital of the thirteen dynasties, a world-famous cultural heritage, and a unique style nurtured by the Tang style and Qin charm. You can be a Sichuanese, a Henan, a Peking, a Northeastern, even an American, a British, an African, a European, and a person from all over the world. As long as you come to Xi'an, you will become as solid and heavy as the Qin bricks and Han tiles, and as the Qinchuan cattle. Simple and as diligent as the Guanzhong horses. No matter how time changes or how impermanent the world is, Xi'an will still embrace the world and change us like the glorious Tang Dynasty. Maybe you came to Xi'an for one reason, but there will be ten thousand reasons to stay in Xi'an.
