miscellaneous thoughts

In June, I had the idea to go to Xi'an before my official graduation on June 28. After all, there are many scenic spots in Xi'an that require tickets. If your student ID card can be used, you can save a lot of money ~

If you set out from Guangdong, you first looked at the routes in Guangzhou, Jieyang and Zhuhai, and finally found that the prices from Zhuhai to Xi'an were very friendly! The round trip is less than 1,000, and the price is comparable to that of a high-speed rail. It saves time, so hurry up and record it in a small notebook. If students travel poorly,"Duoduo Apartment" is quite cost-effective. 160 We booked a room for four people, although half of it was because the price was really cheap, and because we were on a graduation tour in our dormitory, we didn't want to sleep separately, and there were very few room options that could accommodate four people, so Hehe, it was quite good.Less than 50 per capita, environmental air conditioning and the like are also okay ~

Okay, let's keep a record of the journal! Let's talk about the overall cost first, including air tickets, accommodation, meals, mobile mail, entertainment and so on.The entire journey is RMB 2,208(Ignore some small bills that cost a few dollars), five days and four nights, a fulfilling trip, I think it should be considered emmm quite good, haha ~

warm reminder

- It's best to book a room near Hui Street. It's easy to eat and go shopping.

- Huashan Mountain is at least a day, but it can be two days if you swim in depth or your physical strength does not allow it.

- You must visit the Terracotta Warriors. I think it is the most worthwhile trip!

- Huashan and Terracotta Warriors are far away from the urban area. If you want convenience, you can find a tour on the road, a lot of them; if you want to be economical and interesting, you can also DIY yourself. We just recommend watching them all if necessary ~

- Beef and mutton kebabs are very upright, but be careful about getting burned ~

- Xi'an's mutton steamed buns are not as delicious as those in Guangdong...?

- Remember this general route map we drew ourselves and we will thank me ~

travel route

Day 1（2019/6/20）

Due to ticket budget constraints, we can only book red-eye flights. The Zhuhai-Xi 'an route is extremely cheap.RMB355。If you fly in Zhuhai, you can search for public accounts. There will usually be an airport bus, which is very convenient now. However, air tickets are cheap but connecting flights are time-consuming. The afternoon flight arrives in Xi'an at about 9 p.m. Airport pickup service is available at the apartment,30 yuan per personAfter landing, the driver was already waiting for us at the airport. It was very convenient. The airport was not big, so you could meet him when you went out, and then quickly caught the bus back to the hotel. By the way, the hotel is on the other side of Hui Street, so hahahaha put down our food and went to eat. After a whole day of hunger, I am so satisfied to eat something. btw I am not used to eating Xi'an mutton steamed buns dbq in Xi'an (it is also an unauthentic delicious hh from Guangdong)... After that, I will wash and sleep ~ the first day over

P1: Hotel room map

P2: Mutton steamed buns (there is no second bowl)

Day 2（2019/6/21）

I slept until I woke up naturally. After washing up, I went downstairs to Hui Street for brunch-check in roujiamo. It was really delicious and so much meat was so happy. Roujiamo didn't make any suggestions in advance. There were many people queuing here. It was Lao Sun's family and longong's team. They were amazing. Then we set off for the museum in the afternoon, which requires buying tickets in advance, and we will talk about later. Finally, I ended my eating and eating in Yongxing Square, and touched my round belly and went back to the hotel. haha.

Huimin Street

Recommendation index: ◆ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"Xi'an Hui Street is a famous food and cultural district in Xi'an and a snack district in Xi'an. Huimin Street is located in the North Courtyard, which is the official office area of the Qing Dynasty. Because the Shaanxi Governor's Yamen is north of the Drum Tower, it is named North Courtyard. In the late 1990s, some Hui people rented houses and operated catering on this street. Lianhu District was transformed into the direction of Catering Street, and Beiyuanmen became Hui Street."

But according to local people, they usually don't go to this street, but they only go to spend for tourists?? Okay, tourist myself, where can I go if I don't go? Basically every guide will mention this... I still recommend going!

Shaanxi History Museum

Recommendation index: ◆ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"Shaanxi History Museum is located on the northwest side of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province. It was built in 1983 and was completed and opened on June 20, 1991. Its completion marks that China's museum industry has entered a new milestone of development. This building is a Tang-style building complex with "central hall and four corners". The primary and secondary buildings are orderly, with high and low, and the momentum is vigorous and solemn, integrating national traditions, local characteristics and the spirit of the times."

After lunch from Huimin Street, it is about 20 minutes away by subway, but it takes a short walk after the subway. You need to book one day in advance to enter the park. It is said that you can enter the park for free based on your ID card on the public account, but we didn't know hh at the beginning, so we stupidly booked it at Meituan. It's okay,tickets are 30After arriving, contact the person in charge and give me a small card. Scan the QR code on it and have a machine guide explain the whole process. It is quite worth it. It should be noted here that the museum is closed on Monday, so remember to bring your ID card, selfie sticks, food, etc. cannot be brought in...

yongxingfang

Recommendation index: ◆ ★ ★ ★

"Yongxing Square is the former site of the Wei Zheng Mansion in the Tang Dynasty. It 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" Fang "-style boutique project to the ancient city."

Yongxing Square can be reached by half an hour's public transportation after the museum. I came here because my friends wanted to go, but after going there, I said that if I had been to Hui Street, it didn't matter if I stopped going to Yongxing Square. It's almost the same as those snack streets. Of course, if I have time, I can still walk around. (Guess who I am ~)

Day 3 （2019/6/22）

Bell and Drum Tower

Recommendation index: ④ ④ ④ ④

"The Bell and Drum Tower is one of the traditional Chinese buildings. It belongs to the collective name of the Bell Tower and the Drum Tower. In ancient China, it was mainly used for telling time. There are two types of Bell and Drum Towers. One is built in the palace and the other is built in the center of the city. Most of them are two-story buildings. The Bell and Drum Tower in the court began in the Sui Dynasty and ended in the Ming Dynasty. In addition to telling the time, it is also used to control etiquette during court meetings."

I always thought that the Bell and Drum Tower was a place, but only after going there did I realize that the Bell Tower is the Bell Tower and the Drum Tower is the Drum Tower; the tickets for each building are respectivelyRMB30, student tickets are 50% off. After going up, the scope of activities is very small, but you can feel the ancient culture very well. If you go up, you can sometimes see performances, about four performances a day. The Bell and Drum Tower is not far away, and the two places meet for about 10 minutes on foot. The exterior is suitable for viewing at night, blingbling; if you go up, it can only be open during the day.

Saige International Shopping Plaza

Recommendation index: ④ ④ ④ ④

SEG International is one of the best shopping centers in Xi'an City. Its location is currently the most prosperous Xiaozhai Cross. Many shops inside are similar to chain stores everywhere, and their local characteristics are not strong. But the most worth checking in is the long elevator ~[Asia's longest indoor escalator, 50.3m]

Dayan Pagoda&datang Furong garden

Recommendation index: ④ ④ ④ ④

"The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is the earliest and largest existing brick pagoda in the Tang Dynasty. It is a typical physical evidence of the Buddhist pagoda, an architectural form of ancient Indian Buddhist temples, which was introduced into the Central Plains with Buddhism and integrated into Chinese culture. It is a reflection of ancient China. A landmark building crystallized by the wisdom of the working people."

"The Tang Dynasty Furong Garden is located on the southeast side of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. It was rebuilt north of the original Tang Dynasty Furong Garden site and modeled after the Tang Dynasty royal garden. It is the first large-scale royal garden-style cultural theme park in China to fully display the style of the Tang Dynasty."

Because we were tired from walking, we didn't go up to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and just watched from a distance below. Then we were in a daze until seven or eight o'clock, the fountain in front opened and the atmosphere was good. A few steps away will be the city that never sleeps, where everyone lives.

Day 4 （2019/9/23）

Huashan

Recommendation index: ◆ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"Mount Hua was known as" Xiyue "in ancient times and" Taihua Mountain "in elegant terms. It is one of the five famous mountains in China and the birthplace of Chinese civilization. The" Hua "of" China "and" China "originated from Mount Hua. It is located in Huayin City, Weinan City, Shaanxi Province, 120 kilometers east of the provincial capital Xi'an. It is connected to the Qinling Mountains in the south and overlooking the Yellow Wei River in the north. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "the most dangerous mountain in the world." Huashan is one of the first batch of national key scenic spots, national AAAAA tourist attractions, national key cultural relics protection units, and national geological parks. Huashan is the sacred mountain of the Chinese nation. The "China" of China originated from Huashan Mountain, and as a result, Huashan Mountain became known as the "root of China."

It would be a waste to come to Xi'an if I didn't climb Huangshan Mountain!

The most troublesome thing about getting to Huashan was the distance, because it was no longer in the city, and considering the luggage problem, we finally made a roundtrip on the same day, which was tight. I don't want to work together, so DIY myself should be the most cost-effective way to go.

From the subway to the railway station, take the high-speed railway from Xi'an North to Huashan North.RMB55。After getting off the bus, take a taxi to Huashan. The taxi is aboutRMB15, 10 minutes away, and it's very cheap for a few of us to carpool. Tickets for Huashan areRMB160, half the student ticket price; I took a cableway when going down the mountainRMB140; You need to take a shuttle bus after getting down the mountainRMB40Go back to the foot of the mountain; go back to the high-speed train. The whole journey costs about RMB400+ meals. (We also bought a tour guide machine, which proved to be of no use)

After climbing, I was exhausted. I slept on the high-speed train back to the city and quickly searched for food. I rushed back to the hotel to take a bath and rest, and ended the day ~ I could only say,"Huashan is so cool!"

Points to note are:

- Food on the mountain is not very cheap, so it is recommended to bring some dry food up. Don't need too much, and you won't want to eat too much during the mountain climbing.

- It is recommended to wear long sleeves. The ultraviolet rays in the mountains are very high and the temperature is low.

- Pay attention to the latest time on the high-speed rail. If you are going back to the city that day, you should get off early.

- The cableway down the West Peak of Huashan Mountain takes 20 minutes and is worth taking; the cableway up is relatively short and not cost-effective, so it can be walked.

- Tour guide machines are optional.

Day 5 （2019/6/24）

Today's trip is a place far away from the city (you can go back to the above and look at the route map)~ It is recommended here to put the Terracotta Warriors on a separate day. The transportation really takes too long.

PS: There will be a lot of so-called chartered cars on the road. I don't know if this is true. But because I saw many people on the Internet before pulling people to "fake terracotta warriors???" We all refused decisively.

We also choose our own DIY to get to the Terracotta Warriors from the city. It takes about 1 hour to transfer the subway + bus. The whole journey only takesRMB10--But because there are too many people walking in this direction, you may have to stand the entire time, but it's really fun to count the time and take the cheapest route ~(You can check the specific bus number according to the navigation)

On the bus, when we are about to arrive at the Terracotta Warriors, volunteers will go up to explain simple history and suggested routes. Like it here, it doesn't mean that pyramid schemes are really volunteers. After listening to the suggestion, I added an additional "Hongmen Banquet Site", which you can go to ~~

Hongmen Banquet Site

Recommendation index: ◆ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

The closest scenic spot to the last drop off point of the bus is this Hongmen Banquet Site. I thought I'd go in and have a look since I came here. Tickets are not expensive.RMB20, includes manual guide explanations, which I personally think is very worth it. I saw a lot of things and listened to various explanations, and I felt like I was reviewing ~

After the Hongmen Banquet Site comes out, there is a free shuttle bus to the Terracotta Warriors. The assembly line leaves when full, and the schedule is also very comfortable.

PS: It is recommended to stay a long time to see the Terracotta Warriors. It's super worth it!

the Terracotta Warriors and horses Museum

Recommendation index: ◆ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Really, I think Xi'an is the most worthwhile visit to Huashan and Terracotta Warriors! You have to go.

Tickets for the Terracotta Army areRMB120Student tickets are halved. If there are holidays, the queue will take longer, about ten minutes. If you look at the terracotta warriors yourself, they are actually like it. Unless you have a particularly profound knowledge of history, it is recommended to bring a tour guide. There are many artificial degradations that can be put together at the door. We worked together with a group of 10 people to work together for a tour guide, and we calculated each personRMB20, you must. Follow the entire journey for about an hour. If you want to see it again, you can stay longer. I want to post a lot of pictures, but it would be better if I suggested I go and have a look; I lament that the ancient people were too great ~

Day 6（2019/6/25）

city wall

Recommendation index: ④ ④ ④ ④

It's the last day, and we booked a flight at night, so we mostly rest during the day ~ Today is a good day for a walk. The sun is very good in Xi'an, so we decided to go to the city wall to bask in the sun?? -- Pay attention to sun protection. Tickets for entering the city are 40 to 50 yuan, and student ticket prices are RMB27 after discounted. If we had to finish walking, we could probably walk for a day... The city wall is so long, so we rode a bicycle and walked around. The sun and wind were very comfortable. Haha ~ There are many bicycle rental shops on it, which costs about RMB60 an hour ~ Walking on it has a feeling of traveling through, which is good.

After that, I went back to Huimin Street to buy and buy, and almost left.

Goodbye Xi'an, I want to come again ~

about food

Xi'an has a lot of delicious food, so remember it in your notebook and everyone can check in with your luck ~

- Roujiamo (delicious)

- Mutton steamed buns (a little expensive and a little salty)

- Beef and mutton kebabs (super delicious)

- Persimmons cake (delicious)

- Ice Peak (actually it is Mininda)

- Salted egg yellow roujiamo (I don't think it's delicious Internet celebrity food)

- A yogurt cow (seems to have it everywhere but still likes it)

- Sour plum soup (relieve boredom)

- Cold noodles (check in)

-biangbiang noodles (check-in)

- Mutton soup (so delicious!)

- Rice noodles (I finally couldn't stand the greasy pasta and ate a light hh)

say goodbye

The journey to the cultural capital is over. I hope I can help you ~ Xi'an is a city suitable for in-depth travel and slow walking.
