Xi'an? Chang 'an!

There seem to be endless topics about the city of Xi'an. Xi'an's snacks, Xi'an's monuments, Xi'an's various things. Xi'an was named Chang' an in ancient times. Whether it was Chang 'an in the past or Xi'an today, it is a beautiful scenery. There are really many attractions in Xi'an. Before the arrival of summer, we finally arranged Xi'an's travel itinerary

starting

As the summer vacation approaches, ticket prices for various airlines have also increased. I still chose a plane between a plane and a high-speed rail. The high-speed rail ticket is not cheap, and it takes more than seven hours, which is a bit long. After arriving in Xi'an, I booked a car rental group. The car model group is preparing to rent a car and drive by myself. I have basically tried several popular car rental platforms. I feel that the experience of one tour is quite good in all aspects. I have always had points at his home. In recent times, I have booked a car at his home. After arriving at the airport, you can pick up your car near the airport, which is very convenient, and you won't be physically and mentally exhausted when driving by yourself.

Day1

Gulou

When we returned to the hotel, we passed the Drum Tower. The Drum Tower during the day was actually not too amazing. We could only tell its age. We decided to come here to have a look at it at night.

All the lights on the Drum Tower are on at night, which is completely different from the day. The lights on the Drum Tower are cleverly designed. On the streets where people come and go, everyone can't help but take a look at it more. This dreamy night scene brings people back to the prosperous times of Chang 'an hundreds of years ago.

Day2

Shaanxi History Museum

As a city with rich historical and cultural heritage, Xi'an has become a must-visit for tourists. The Shaanxi History Museum needs to make reservations in advance. Reservations can be made on the museum's Weixin Official Accounts or official website. During the peak season, you should pay attention to the number of votes. There is a certain limit on the number of free gifts every day

The buildings of Shaanxi Expo are very atmospheric. As a national-level museum, there are tens of thousands of collections here, many of which have been displayed on the "National Treasures" program. It is best to ask a guide to explain the whole process when you come to the museum. You can work together. Without professional explanations, the trip will be half less interesting.

The relics of the Tang Dynasty refer to the treasures unearthed in Hejia Village. Several of them are prohibited from being exhibited abroad as national treasure cultural relics, which shows their importance.

Statues, painted paintings, various earthen pots, etc., most of the ones displayed here are authentic works, and there are also a small number of replicas

The guide specially reminded us that the four-wheel drive carriage in the museum is the real one, and the one in the terracotta warriors is a replica. The real one is very intact.

After the morning visit, I went to eat Xi'an Roujiamo at noon. The meat was stewed very badly, and only the meat was added to it felt a little monotonous. The authentic Xi'an Roujiamo had no other miscellaneous ingredients, and it was paired with a bottle of local Ice Peak. A meal was perfect. I felt that the taste of the Ice Peak was similar to the Fanta I usually drink.

Qujiang Site Park

In the afternoon, go to Qujiang Ruins Park. This used to be a royal garden, but now many imitation Tang buildings have been added. There are many sculptures by the lake. The whole park is quite large and suitable for hanging out. It is also a good choice to come here at night to watch the night view.

Qujiang Hanyao Relics Park

The Hanyao Ruins Park is based on the love story of Wang Baochuan and Xue Pinggui. Each park involves a historical story, and Xi'an is full of history.

There is also a saying about the statue of Wang Baochuan that their love story was fabricated by later generations. I don't know which one is true and which one is false.

datang Furong garden

Datang Furong Garden and Qujiang River are not far away. They are the largest theme park in Northwest China. However, most of the buildings here are artificial imitation later. There are not many authentic works. The environment is very good. If you want to explore history, it is not recommended to come here. There are also large-scale song and dance performances here in the evening. We left before evening.

Dayan Pagoda South Square

There were very few people in the South Square of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in the afternoon. There were some celebrity sculptures from various industries in the Tang Dynasty on the square. Everyone was familiar with Li Bai, Yan Zhenqing and Sun Simiao, and there were also some that they did not know very well.

The bronze statue of Master Xuanzang is a landmark building on the South Square. The Xuanzang here is Xuanzang in "Journey to the West". It is said that Wu Chengen wrote "Journey to the West" based on him

dacien temple

Dacien Temple was also built by Xuanzang to collect classics. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda inside is even more famous. Tickets for entering the temple and climbing the tower are separate. You can also just visit the temple without climbing the tower.

The Big Wild Goose Pagoda looks like an ancient brick pagoda. We didn't go in and visit it, but we didn't know what was put in the pagoda today

Big Wild Goose Pagoda North Square

The North Square of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is also very large. There are fountains here. It will be beautiful to come here at night to see the night view.

datang sleepless city

Be sure to come to the Tang Dynasty Sleepless City at night to experience the prosperous times of the Tang Dynasty. This place has also become popular because of Douyin, but it is really beautiful and worth a visit

Day3

Terracotta Warriors

Today's key itinerary is the Terracotta Warriors. The Terracotta Warriors are in Lintong, which takes more than an hour to drive

There are three pits in total. Pit 1 is the largest, Pit 2 and Pit 3 are tanks and command systems. We also tried hard to explain the Terracotta Warriors, and there were not too many people when we entered.

What we can see now are all restored according to the original proportion of the prototype. In fact, what has just been unearthed are some broken tiles. Today, archaeological experts are still doing the restoration work. In fact, the resources of the Terracotta Warriors have not yet been mined. In order to protect resources, it is prohibited to continue mining.

Pit 3 is the smallest exhibition hall, and it is full of combat command systems

Finally, there is Pit No. 2, which is still under restoration, and the kneeling shooting figurines are in Pit No. 3. The kneeling shooting figurines are one of the few completely unearthed pottery figurines

huaqing Palace

I went to Huaqing Palace in the afternoon. I passed by Huaqing Palace on my way to the Terracotta Warriors. These two attractions can be arranged in one day.

Huaqing Palace is the bathing place for Imperial Consort Yang. The Huaqing Palace located at the foot of Mount Li is indeed a good place. The main places to visit are these bathing pools. If you have enough time, you can go to Huaqing Pool. If you don't have enough time, you can go to the Terracotta Warriors. I feel that Huaqing Palace is far less valuable than the Terracotta Warriors.

Huimin Street

In the evening, I will go back to the city to eat and eat at Hui Street. Hui Street is an area composed of several streets. It is currently the largest snack street I have ever been to. There are countless delicious food in it. You can go around at night to buy snacks and specialties.

Day4

daxingshan temple

Go to a niche attraction today. Xingshan Temple is one of the oldest Buddhist temples in Chinese history, with a history of more than 1700 years

Daxingshan Temple is not only a niche attraction, but also an unpopular attraction. There are very few people in the scenic area, so we can also have a good stroll. The buildings inside are very old and worth exploring.

Huimin Street Yongxingfang

It is still early to return, so I will eventually go to Huimin Street and Yongxingfang at noon. I feel that Huimin Street is very crowded all day long, including soup dumplings, roujiamo, mutton steamed buns, etc. Although it is a place where tourists gather, I think the taste is OK. Several of them are online celebrity check-in shops, and the online reviews are also good

Drive to Xianyang Airport in the afternoon and return home. I haven't visited Xi'an in the past few days. There are many places for hanging out in Xi'an, and it's best to stay a few more days
