Xi'an, a city of history and culture

I especially like this city with beautiful golden ginkgo leaves, the unique relaxation of the ancient city, and the bright and flamboyant autumn! Here is a summary of my trip (mainly some of my favorite spots, haha) When I arrived at Xi'an Station, I saw the ancient city wall as soon as I came out. I was so excited that I quickly took out my phone and took a lot of photos and videos. I also posted on my social media. The fatigue was swept away by the city wall, and everyone was full of energy. Then I went to have breakfast. The mahua oil tea tasted strange, but the zenggao was sweet and glutinous, super delicious. After breakfast, it was still dark, so I wandered around the streets and accidentally entered a vegetable market, hahaha. Then I got on the bus and accidentally went to the Drum Tower. At this time, the sun was shining on the magnificent Bell Tower, which was a big surprise. I took a lot of photos again. Then I went to the observation deck on the fifth floor of Kaiyuan Mall to see the Bell Tower, where history and reality intertwined, and the past and the present reflected each other. It was a magical feeling. In the afternoon, I went to Xi'an Museum. The cultural relics were very beautiful, and I even made some emojis for them. I strolled along the streets full of ginkgo trees, eating and chatting all the way, leisurely like a local. I changed two subways to get to the next destination. The next morning, I went to Shuyuanmen, Xiangzimiao, Defu Lane, Tianshuijing, Bingyao Lane, and the church on Wuxing Street for a city walk. I took photos, strolled, and ate all the way, super happy. There was a lot of traffic under the city wall, and people came and went on the ancient street. The sun shone on the bricks and stones, and the ginkgo leaves swayed in the wind. I felt that history had never disappeared. It was scattered in every ray of sunshine in the city and lived in every speck of dust. In the evening, I went to the Grand Tang Mall, a large and beautiful commercial pedestrian street. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough time to finish shopping. I remember when the lights came on, we happened to pass by a cultural and creative store, and the store was playing Cheng Xiang's "Maybe." "Maybe someone swore on the Xi'an city wall, maybe you have to go to Dali to love seriously..." At that moment, the past and future of Xi'an unfolded in front of me. The singing and dancing were peaceful, brilliant, and splendid. The prosperous Chang'an City had never left, and Xi'an, as the provincial capital, continued to develop. It has countless appearances and creates countless possibilities.
