Xi'an Self-Driving Travel Anti-Scam Guide|Locals' Recommended Perfect One-Day Route

Worried about getting scammed when driving to Xi'an? Here’s a hassle-free guide, personally tested to be perfect! Accommodation first choice: Book in advance at "Jinhao Hotel" or similar hotels near scenic spots, with their own parking lot 🅿️, quiet yet convenient, so you can park and walk to explore, completely avoiding unlicensed taxis and traffic jams. One-day route: 1. Morning · Sajinqiao: Skip the main street of Muslim Quarter, come to Sajinqiao where locals eat. Try Laomajia Huoshao, Fatty’s Zenggao… authentic snacks with no risk, and reasonable prices. 2. Afternoon · Bell Tower, Drum Tower + City Wall: Classic landmarks to check in. It’s recommended to climb the city wall at dusk, the sunset 🌇 lighting is stunning! Rent Hanfu in advance for amazing photos. 3. Evening · Big Wild Goose Pagoda + Nightless City: Must-see light show! Walking around Nightless City feels like time travel, and you can walk back to the hotel, avoiding peak taxi hours. Key Anti-Scam Tips: ❌ Don’t follow “helpful” street touts ✅ Find food at places locals queue up ✅ Book attraction tickets through official channels Follow this route to easily explore Xi'an’s core area, saving both worry and money! 💕
