2020 is an extraordinary year for China and even the world. The COVID-19 epidemic has swept the world. Originally, I planned to take my children out to play in October, but the school had epidemic prevention requirements, so I failed to go. In November, I planned to go to Shanghai, and all the itineraries were well planned. There were COVID-19 cases in Shanghai, so I chose the inland city of Xi'an. Xi'an had been there before, and this time I did more work to give my family a fulfilling three-day journey. The weather in Xi'an on New Year's Day is relatively cool at night (minus 3 to 4 degrees), so wearing thin down is a little cooler. Girls need to wear more. Wear a thin down during the day (5 to 6 degrees above zero).

1. Prepare

I made multiple versions of travel strategies, and finally determined a version of the route where the amount of exercise was moderate and children could also play happily. I booked plane tickets, hotels and various attractions. Since the plan was to leave on the evening of the 31st and return on the evening of the 3rd, the ticket I bought was China Eastern Airlines 'business class 1320, and the ticket I bought when I came back was China Southern Airlines' business class 1320, which is also a good comparison between the service differences between the two airlines. It can also allow the family to rest well.

During the itinerary, you can find that the plan has not changed quickly, and the general itinerary remains consistent.

2. Travel

On the afternoon of the 31st, due to work reasons, I was going to take an airport bus to the airport. Later, due to the tight schedule, I took a taxi to the airport. Didi Taxi used a coupon and a toll of more than 120 yuan. Since the purchase cost business class, I took my wife and children to the VIP lounge to rest. Boarding on time and providing blankets and dinner on board.

Let's just make do with it. I don't know why the picture is horizontal. This picture shows China Eastern Airlines 'flight meals, which are quite rich and not bad.

After landing, we contacted the pre-arranged online taxi booking (Ctrip's), and we only needed 93 yuan to get to the place we stayed with using membership coupons. The place we chose was Quanji Luomashi Street Store. One side of this store is the Pedestrian Street Night Market, so the room must be selected in advance.

3. New Year's Day itinerary

According to the itinerary, today is the Bell Tower-"Drum Tower-" Hui Street-"Shanlibo-" Tang Dynasty Furong Garden. After getting up in the morning and having a quick breakfast at the hotel, you can walk to the Bell Tower for a few minutes and check the replica of the Bell Tower's clock. Exhibits in the purse. According to the online guide, there should be Zhong Le performing, but it may be cancelled due to the off-season.

A five-minute walk from the Bell Tower to the Drum Tower is just a leisurely walk.

There are regular performances in the Drum Tower

After coming down from the Drum Tower, you will find Hui Street. It is not too long. There are various snacks and gift shops on both sides of the street. It is fragrant and beautiful.

I also watched a shadow puppet show at the Gaojia Courtyard on Huimin Street

After watching the shadow puppet show, I ate spicy soup, mixed sheep noodles, and mutton steamed buns, and rushed to the subway to the next location, Shaanxi History Museum.

The Shaanxi History Museum displays all cultural relics. In order to understand the history of cultural relics, we reported a team with explanations on Ctrip. The tour guide Xiao Liu is a beautiful woman from Harbin. She is standard in Mandarin and explains the knowledge points in place. The focus is that people are also very easy-going. When we took the children to gather, it was already late for the gathering time. Xiao Liu was waiting for us at the door without getting impatient. I purchased a 14:00 game explained by a high-quality group 3.5H. If friends who see the strategy sign up for this group, it depends on fate whether they can meet Xiao Liu.

Next, let's take a look at what Shaanxi Libo has.

Photography is not allowed in the mural museum, so there are no photos.

After visiting Shanlibo, I went back to the hotel to rest and eat, and ordered takeout of Laotongguan Roujiamo.

Take a break and continue to set out, take the bus to Yanta West, check in to the Internet celebrity site, the Tang Dynasty never sleeps.

Go back to the hotel to rest.

PS: It is not recommended to taste snacks on the main street on Hui Street. There are also many delicious food on the branch streets next to it, and there are also delicious food in places such as Fen Lane.

4. Two-day itinerary

The next day's itinerary was the theme of Terracotta Warriors.

I reported an eight-member group at Ctrip and met the tour guide Xiao Ke. She was a beautiful, enthusiastic and knowledgeable Shaanxi girl. Although the morning was a little hurried and we gathered at 7:30, the guide Xiao Ke introduced the history of Xi'an, Huaqing Palace, Lishan Mountain, and some knowledge of the Terracotta Warriors. The more than an hour's journey was not boring at all.

Professional explanation throughout the process.

The Terracotta Warriors came out as an immersive stage play made by the travel agency,"Jin Ke Assassination of the King of Qin". There are also small gifts that can be exchanged for, which are completely free. If you are lucky, you can also play a role.

After watching the performance, we can set off for lunch. The travel company runs its own business. It tastes good and is full of food and rice.

Add six dishes to rice, chicken nuggets, cake, oil wheat vegetables, crispy pork, cold rice noodles, mutton steamed buns

After dinner, I went to see the place where the imperial concubine took a bath, Huaqing Palace.

I don't know why, but the pictures keep moving around.

The travel company has three places to choose from for getting off at night, namely Huimin Street, Yongxingfang and Big Wild Goose Pagoda. The Yongxing Square we chose is very lively at night.

There are still a lot of delicious food in Yongxing Square, and you can fill your stomach while eating while walking here. Go home and get some sleep after you eat. You're already a little tired after two days.

5. Three-day itinerary

The third day was a relaxing trip. After getting up in the morning and having breakfast at the hotel, I took a double-decker bus and took my wife and children to enjoy the city scenery of Xi'an. I found a station not too far away from the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and got off the bus for my children. I took a bicycle and rode a shared bicycle to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. As soon as we arrived downstairs at Dayantan, it was time for the fountain performance at 12:00 noon.

It is recommended to see the fountain at night. It is very beautiful with lights. After watching the fountain, go straight to Dacien Temple.

Come out of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and go to Joy City for lunch, then take a taxi straight to the city wall

After a short stroll, I went to the hotel to pick up my things and went to the airport.

6. Return journey

When going to the airport, children were willing to take the subway and intercity, so they chose the subway and intercity. We lived close to Line 2, so we took Line 2 and went straight to North Railway Station. However, here is a suggestion. If you go to North Railway Station to do intercity, it is recommended to take Line 4 and transfer within the station. Line 2 requires a long walk. Arrived at the airport smoothly, had dinner in the China Southern Airlines VIP lounge, and boarded the plane to return home.

7. Summary

This trip is quite full, so this kind of short-term trip must be planned first. Although the plan may eventually change, it will not be too busy. Be sure to hire a tour guide to explain when you go to Shaanxi Libo and the Terracotta Warriors. You will learn about different history and different stories.

If you have anything else you want to know, you can leave a message for me.
