Heading to Xi’an? You can’t miss the legendary Xi’an Drum Tower – a spot that’s got both serious history and some of the best city views you’ll find! 🌇 Top Spot to Visit: Xi’an Drum Tower Address: No. 74, North Courtyard, Lianhu District, Xi'an Opening Hours: - Apr 1-Jul 18: 08:30-21:30 (last ticket: 21:00) - Jul 19-Aug 31: 08:30-22:30 (last ticket: 22:00) - Sep 1-Oct 10: 08:30-21:30 (last ticket: 21:00) - Oct 11–Mar 31: 08:30-18:00 (last ticket: 17:30) Admission Fee: ¥30 Why go? The Drum Tower is not just epic on the outside, but climbing up gets you sweeping panoramic views of Xi’an that totally wowed me. The way the city lights sparkle at night makes it even more magical (sunset or after-dark visits highly recommended for next-level pics 📸). The place isn’t overly crowded if you go later in the day, letting you chill and take in the vibes. Getting Around: The Drum Tower is right in the city center — super easy to walk to from the Muslim Quarter or take a quick metro/taxi from almost anywhere in Xi’an. Eat & Drink: After your tower tour, hit up the Muslim Quarter nearby for must-try local eats like roujiamo (Chinese burger) and fresh pomegranate juice. Pro Tip: Bring a light jacket after sunset; it gets breezy on top, but you’ll want to stay for those killer views! #XianDrumTower #XiAnTrip #ChinaTravel #TravelGuide #TripDotCom

Exploring Xi’an just got a serious level-up thanks to Tang Paradise and the breathtaking 《Dreams of Tang Dynasty》 night show! 🌠 If you think ancient China is only about historic relics by day, you’re in for a surprise. Top Spot to Visit: Tang Paradise《Dreams of Tang Dynasty》 Head straight to Datang Furong Garden Scenic Area, No. 99 Furong West Road, Qujiang New District. The star event? The immersive 《Dreams of Tang Dynasty》 show at Tang Paradise. This spot turns into a real-life fantasy at night: think shimmering lakes, dramatic pavilions, and dazzling lighting that makes the entire garden glow like something out of a myth. The lighting effects are honestly next-level, and the visuals will have both your eyes and your camera loving every minute. Pro tip: Arrive a bit before sunset to catch the last golden rays for stunning photos, then stick around as the garden comes to life after dark. Don’t forget to load up your phone—this is one for the Insta-feed (and memories!). Getting There & Around Xi’an’s public transit is efficient, with buses and taxis making Qujiang New District easily accessible. The Datang Furong Garden has a central location, so you won’t get lost. Food To Try Nearby Try some local Shaanxi snacks at nearby food streets—biangbiang noodles and roujiamo (Chinese burger) are must-eats here. Key Tips Go at night for the full drama! Book tickets in advance on trip.com to lock in your spot. Bring a power bank for your phone—trust me, you’ll be snapping non-stop. #XiAnNightlife #TangParadise #DreamsOfTangDynasty #TravelChina #tripdotcom

Spent 3 amazing nights in Xi’an and I couldn’t believe how epic the old meets new vibes are! 😍 From ancient emperors to neon noodle bars, this city brings the drama. If you’re after history, food, and super easy adventures, bookmark this! Must-See Places: - Terracotta Warriors Museum (Lintong District, 8:30am–5pm): Xi’an’s no.1 must! The army is jaw-dropping. Pro tip: Go early for photo ops. - City Wall (South Gate, 8am–10pm): Walk or rent a bike for a killer city view. At night, fairy lights make it extra magical. - Muslim Quarter (Huimin St, til late): Snack heaven — try lamb kebabs or roujiamo (“Chinese burger”). Crowds thin out after 8pm for easier exploring. - Giant Wild Goose Pagoda (Yanta District, 8am–5pm): Beautiful architecture and a chill surrounding park. - Drum Tower & Bell Tower (Beilin District, 8:30am–9:30pm): These historic towers are close together and super photogenic, especially at dusk. Tips: - Buy tickets for major spots on trip.com ahead — lines can be gnarly at Terracotta Warriors. - Biking the City Wall takes ~1.5 hours. Bring water! - The subway and Didi (ride-sharing) make getting around dead simple. - Most street stalls in the Muslim Quarter take cash or WeChat Pay, so load up before heading out. - Weather: Xi’an can be dry year-round but gets chilly at night — pack layers. Food Faves: - Roujiamo at Lao Sun Jia — it’s iconic - Hand-pulled biangbiang noodles at First Noodle Under The Sun - Persimmon cakes from street vendors Getting Around: - Xi’an Metro is clean, cheap, and English-friendly. - Didi app works best for late nights or further spots. Pack some comfy shoes because you’ll walk LOTS. Xi’an totally delivers, whether you’re a history buffs or a foodie on the run! #XianTrip #AncientChina #FoodieAdventure #TerracottaWarriors #tripdotcom
