Trip to Xi’an, China 🇨🇳

It was a trip to Xi’an, China 🇨🇳We started our journey at the Ancient City Wall, one of the best-preserved city walls in China. Walking (or cycling) on top of the wall gave us a stunning panoramic view of Xi’an’s old and new city 💯 The best photo spots were near the watchtowers, where the historic bricks contrast beautifully with the skyline. Early morning or sunset is the best time for pictures 📸 📍Xi’an City Wall, Zhonggulou Square, Beilin District, Xi’an, Shaanxi, China Afterward, we explored the Muslim Quarter, a paradise for street photography 🙌 The lively alleyways, neon signs, and sizzling street food stalls made for some dynamic shots 📸 We highly recommend capturing the famous Biang Biang noodles being hand-pulled and the colorful displays of Xi’an’s local snacks 🙌 📍Muslim Quarter, Huimin Street, Lianhu District, Xi’an, Shaanxi, China A trip to Xi’an wouldn’t be complete without visiting the Terracotta Warriors 😍 Seeing thousands of life-sized soldiers standing in formation was surreal. We found the best shots near the front rows of Pit 1, where the most detailed warriors are displayed. The lighting inside can be dim, so a good camera helps ✨ 📍Emperor Qinshihuang’s Mausoleum Site Museum, Lintong District, Xi’an, Shaanxi, China Afterward, we visited Huaqing Palace, famous for its hot springs and romantic history 🙌 The stunning lake reflections and Tang Dynasty-style pavilions made it a perfect spot for capturing traditional Chinese architecture 💯 📍Huaqing Palace, Lintong District, Xi’an, Shaanxi, China We also explored the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, an iconic Buddhist landmark. The best photos were taken from the square 📸 where we captured the towering pagoda with the fountain show in the foreground. If you visit at night, the illuminated pagoda creates a magical scene ✨ 📍Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, Yanta District, Xi’an, Shaanxi, China We also walked through Datang Everbright City, a pedestrian street that comes alive at night with Tang Dynasty-themed performances and dazzling lights ✨ The golden-lit buildings and cultural performances made for some of the most vibrant night shots we took in Xi’an. 📍Datang Everbright City, Yanta District, Xi’an, Shaanxi, China #discoverchina #vacation #travel
