As a shrimp who likes to travel but does not travel many times, he struggled to squeeze out four days to go to Xi'an at the end of October. He said that it was difficult not because he was busy at work, but because time was difficult to be free. Of course, time freedom is something we all aspire to. It is best to achieve financial freedom again! Hehe! A four-day round-trip trip from Beijing is enough time if you just walk around Xi'an. If you still want to see the Terracotta Warriors and climb Huashan Mountain, the four-day round-trip time is actually a little stressful.

Beijing was full of fog on the morning of departure.

I chose the high-speed rail this time. Since I booked the trip later, I only bought one train that stopped at the station. It took more than five hours on the road. When I saw the Xi'an City Wall, it was already the first day. It was about 4:30 in the afternoon.

I selected a hotel right on the edge of the city wall in advance. It is not bad outside the city wall. There is a large terrace that can see Yongning Gate. You can watch the night view of the city wall here at night. After settling down, I searched for nearby restaurants on my mobile phone and found that there is a nearby restaurant called "Drunken Chang 'an" that looks good. It is located on Shuyuan Street, but the facade is not big, so I didn't find it even when I walked past the door. The restaurant feels very good in a small courtyard. When I arrived there at 5:30, I didn't have to queue up, but only three empty tables were left. I went there on Thursday and didn't know if I would have to queue up in advance on the weekend. I tried gourd chicken, vinegar fish, and a similar dish with three dishes. I couldn't remember the names of them. I also ordered sour soup dumplings and jujube paste. Of course, roujiamo was also selected as the staple food, which may have something to do with not having a serious meal after a long day of travel. In short, I feel that these taste very good. In particular, jujube paste is a brewed drink similar to sesame paste. It has a strong jujube flavor and is very appetizing. In addition, the sour soup dumplings do come with soup, which is like replacing chaos with dumplings and soup. It tastes good. As for Roujiamo, I think you can just buy it at a roadside stall, but there is no need to eat it at this restaurant. We were too busy eating and didn't take photos. Pay attention next time!!

After eating, I gradually felt warm, so I walked out of Shuyuan Street and went straight to the city wall. Perhaps because it was not a weekend or the relatively off-season for tourism, there was no one on the city wall before eight o'clock, but it was also rare to be quiet. Going up from Yongning Gate to the city wall just in time for a rehearsal for a performance, and a large area was blocked. National leaders had received many foreign heads of state here and watched the performance, but it seemed that the ticket price of this performance was not low. What I want to talk about is the tickets for the city wall. When I went there, I just happened to catch the tickets with the "Four Great Beasts" pattern. I changed them every day. If I went there for four consecutive days, I would be able to get a complete set. Walking around the Yongningmen Gate Tower, I am amazed by this city wall that is still so complete after more than 600 years. In addition, the dim lights on the city wall really give a feeling of encountering ancient soldiers. There are services for renting bicycles or electric vehicles to circle the city wall at the four gate towers on the city wall. Electric vehicles can circle the city wall for about an hour a week. You can also choose to go to one of the four gates. The ticket price for two adjacent gates is 20 yuan, and 80 yuan for the entire circle. Renting a bicycle for 45 yuan for 3 hours, there should be no problem riding the next lap. It took me about an hour and a half to ride back to Yongning Gate. It was a really good experience. Listening to "Chang 'an, Chang' an" while riding a bicycle is very graphic. Strong, haha! Although it is in the center of the city, it is very quiet on the city wall. Standing on the ancient city wall and quietly looking at the neon lights around it seems that the perspective of life is different from when you are in it. It is already past 10:30 from the city wall, and Yongning Gate is the latest of all city gates. Since the accommodation chosen is near Yongning Gate, there is no need to rush to visit the city wall at night, but if you live in another location, you have to consider the time.

I originally planned to go to Huashan on the second day and the Terracotta Warriors and the Shaanxi History Museum on the third day to go to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in the evening, but I found out that the Shaanxi History Museum needed to make a reservation and the free tickets for the third day of the trip were all gone. Only the second day's paid ticket can only be exchanged between the second day and the third day. I made an appointment with a car the night before and went to the terracotta warriors at 08:30 the next morning. Some people thought there was nothing to see about the terracotta warriors on the Internet, but it seemed incomplete without looking at the terracotta warriors in Xi 'an. and the facts have proved that such a magnificent cultural heritage is definitely worth seeing. The taxi fare from Xi'an to the terracotta warriors is about 110 yuan per hour. Because of the shortage of time, we did not consider the tour bus which is relatively affordable. The first feeling of arriving outside the Terracotta Warriors Museum is that there are many foreign tourists! It seems that the eight wonders of the world are really famous all over the world. The Museum of Terracotta Warriors and horses is divided into pits 1, 2 and 3 and an exhibition hall, the largest is pit 1, and the largest number of visitors are. Pits 2 and 3 and exhibition cabinets with terracotta warriors and unearthed cultural relics can clearly observe these masterpieces of more than 2,000 years ago. it is really a miracle that no two of the terracotta figures are exactly the same among so many terracotta figures. There are bronze carriages unearthed from the terracotta pit in the exhibition hall, and it is hard to imagine that they were made more than two thousand years ago. After going around for about an hour and a half, you can go to the station from the museum and take a free ferry to the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang. Many people will not go because the terracotta warriors developed there are not perfect. There are only sporadic exhibition halls and a large mound of dirt. Of course, the road from the museum exit to the station is occupied by a variety of small stalls, which seems to be the only place that all scenic spots are exactly the same. If you want to see the mound, you'd better choose the battery car in the park, and it will take some time to walk around. If you have enough time, you can do whatever you want. The location of the Terracotta Warriors and the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang in Xi'an is Lintong District, like the outer suburb of Beijing and the distance from Yanqing, where pomegranates and fire crystal persimmons are produced. When I came out of the park, I still took a taxi back to Xi'an. Because I booked a ticket for the Shaanxi History Museum in the afternoon, I bought a steamed bun to deal with it at the small museum opposite the museum for lunch. The Shaanxi History Museum is small in area but rich in exhibits, such as the famous hoard of Hejia Village, and the famous agate cup with the head of an animal inlaid with gold is among them. This is a unique piece of art prohibited by the state from leaving the country for exhibition. The works of thousands of years ago are still amazing! Of course, the treasures of the Shaanxi History Museum are far more than agate cups, as well as rare secret-colored porcelain, gilded silkworms of the Han Dynasty, ancient coins of various countries, rich terracotta figures of the Tang Dynasty, and so on. The whole museum takes about two hours to look at, if you have enough time, you can really take a look at it slowly and depict in your mind the prosperity and power of China during the prosperous Tang Dynasty more than a thousand years ago. You can walk or take two stops by bus from the museum to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is located in the Dazi'en Temple. It was built to store the scriptures brought by Master Xuan Zang from Tianzhu. You can buy tickets to climb the Pagoda before 05:30 in the afternoon. There is a statue of Master Xuan Zang in the small square in front of the temple, as if telling people the story of the ancient Silk Road.

Take the subway from the Big Wild Goose Pagoda to the Bell Tower and walk a short way to the famous Hui Street. It feels like a combination of Nanluogu Lane and Wangfujing Snack Street. It just has some local specialties, which taste good and the price is not low. I picked a few to feed myself and strolled to Yongning Gate. I have to rest early today and go to Xiyue Huashan, one of the five mountains. It takes four days to go back and forth, so the content has to be more compact. On the third day, we leave the hotel early to Xi'an North Railway Station and take a bus to Huashan North Railway Station. The drive is about 40 minutes. After leaving the station, there is a free bus to the ticket office of Huashan Scenic Area. There are generally two tour routes in Huashan, north and west and down, or west and north. The former is to go up to the lower North Peak first and then visit the higher West Peak, and the latter is the opposite. However, the West Peak Cable Car has a more beautiful scenery than the North Peak Cable Car. And considering that walking all the way down the mountain would not consume too much energy, the route from west to north was chosen. There are many people coming to Huashan on weekends, but it should be "rare" compared with holidays. After queuing for half an hour to sit on the Xifeng Cable Car, this cable car is indeed a challenge for some people who are dizzy, but as the saying goes, infinite scenery is on the dangerous peak. The impact of Huashan Mountain lies in its danger. You can intuitively feel from the cable car that the cliffs on both sides are almost vertical, as if they were cut out by knives and axes. It really makes people admire the magic of nature. The focus of Huashan is on the West Peak and the South Peak. The tour route of the West Peak appears in many photos. A road on the ridge is lined with cliffs, one side is almost vertical and the other side is slightly slow. The five peaks of Huashan have at least one face It is vertical, and the drop is very large. When you are on the mountain, you must pay attention to whether you are standing firmly under your feet and holding your hands firmly. After all, safety comes first. Nanfeng is the main peak of Huashan Mountain and the highest altitude among the five peaks, so you must go. The rest depends on your own arrangements. Depending on your personal strength and time, it will take three to four hours to walk down all five peaks. Although the two peaks do not seem far away, they are not close to walking. After all, you have to watch the scenery while walking and slowly feel it. From time to time, you can see some little wild cats on the mountain. Some of them are not afraid of people coming forward when they see tourists carrying food, but they really admire how these cats got to the top of the mountain. It looked like the sky was getting darker at the five peaks, and there were a little more people queuing up for the Beifeng Cable Car. However, the Beifeng Cable Car line would go down in less than an hour. It was just that they were a little tired now, so the queue seemed extremely long. If you go down the mountain later, you may not catch the free bus. Taking a taxi to Huashan North Railway Station costs 14 or 15 yuan, which is also the best choice when you are exhausted. It was nearly 9 o'clock in the evening after the train returned to Xi'an in about 40 minutes. I quickly found a "Yuanjia Village" that was open late. I thought it was a restaurant, but when I arrived, I realized that it was a food city with many small stalls. You can swipe your card directly at the stalls inside the front desk card. Due to the late arrival, many stalls were ready to close their stalls, and the variety of food was also very limited. However, I ate the honey cold rice dumplings recommended by Beiguang host Wang Yi. Most of the rice dumplings here are flat and taste good when they are cooled and spread with honey. I really require a little physical strength at the end of the day, haha!

When shooting red leaves, you must adjust the saturation, and adjust the red leaves slightly to be beautiful!

The return journey is in the afternoon of the fourth day of the trip. The original reservation was for the high-speed train from 4 p.m. to Beijing West at 9 p.m., so there is still enough time, because of this problem. The hotel is located near Yongning Gate and a five-minute walk to the city wall. On the first day I arrived, I went to the city wall at night and it was already completely dark. I saw the night view but didn't feel the clarity of the day. So I had lunch and looked at the time. It was still early and decided to go up the city wall again to take a round of battery cars. Then I saw how it looked during the day. When the battery cars turned down, I found that time was already a little tight but there was still time. I rushed to the subway to Xi'an North Railway Station. However, when we rushed to the train station, we had already left, so we went to the window to queue up to change the ticket. Unexpectedly, there were no tickets left behind. This was extremely embarrassing. The ticket was basically invalid, and we still faced the possibility of being stranded that day. After calming down, I found that there was only one way to get on the bus to pay for the ticket. I quickly booked a ticket to Zhengzhou. The bus stopped in Zhengzhou to Beijing West, so I had to make up a seat free ticket on the bus. I could only stand in the aisle or sit on the ground at the car door for three and a half hours, but thinking about it was an interesting and profound experience.
