Springtime in Xi'an! Unlock new ways to explore the ancient city

In February, Xi'an is still cold, but the charm of the ancient city is still there. I stayed at the Novotel Xi'an SCPG Hotel, which is in a perfect location—just a 10-minute walk from the Bell Tower. When night falls, the lights of the Bell Tower make it feel like you're back in the Tang Dynasty. In the morning, I opened the window to see the city wall looming in the distance through the mist. The old locust trees on the street have not yet sprouted, but they already show a hint of spring. The hotel rooms are spacious and bright, with floor-to-ceiling windows that offer a view of the bustling city and the tranquility of the ancient city. The bedding is as soft as a cloud, and once you lie down, you don't want to get up. The bathroom is equipped with a smart toilet and a thermostatic shower, and the details are thoughtful. What surprised me the most was that the hotel staff always had a smile on their faces, as if every guest was an old friend they hadn't seen in a long time. In the afternoon, I strolled to the Muslim Quarter, where the aroma of lamb paomo wafted through the air. A bowl of steaming hot paomo warmed me up. In the evening, I took a taxi to the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, which was only a 20-minute drive away. I saw the ancient pagoda standing in the sunset, its reflection in the water of the square, and it was breathtakingly beautiful.
