Cat shadows in the sunset clouds of Xi'an

Cat shadow in the sunset clouds Xi'an Going to Xi'an in November is really great! The city of Xi'an Here, history is no longer a cold book, but the temperature and fireworks you can feel firsthand. In the early morning, ride a bicycle on the city wall, so that the rising sun illuminates the golden light of the thousand-year-old brick ✨; in the afternoon, dive into the Huimin Street, the crispy and tender meat dumplings, mutton bubble dumplings are so fragrant that you want to add a portion immediately! If you want to feel the liveliness of the market, you can go to: 📍Shaanxi Folk Customs Grand View Garden (Address: East Exit of Yanta West Road, near Big Wild Goose Pagoda North Square, open all day long) 📍Hibiscus Garden (Furong S Rd, QuJiang ShangQuan, Yanta Qu, open all day year round) At night, the lights of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda are flashing, so spectacular! And the city that never sleeps in the Tang Dynasty, the first time of the lanterns is like a dream back to Chang'an, and you can encounter street activities and performances, feeling yourself incarnated as an ancient fashionista. The most unmissable thing in Xi'an is the Terracotta Warriors and Horses! If traveling alone, recommend traveling with a group or get an instructor to walk you: 📍Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit No. 3 (Address: Qin Shihuang Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum, Linlan Road, open 09:00–16:00) 📍Qin Shihuang Terracotta Warriors and Horses No. 3 Funeral Pit (Qinling North Road Qin Shihuang Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum F1 Floor, different seasons opening hours are different, usually 9 to 6) In terms of food, not only the meat dumplings, but also the Dingjia small crispy pork is also very good! Recommend the following must-try: 🍴Halal·Dingjia Crispy Pork (Muslim Street Store) Address: No. 223, West Exit of Dapi Courtyard, Guangji Street Ice peak soda + spicy and sour cabbage + pastry = fairy combination! 👏👏 If you encounter sunset in late autumn, an orange kitten 🐱 suddenly appears on the street corner, walking under the cover of misty Chinese architecture and maple leaves, traveling through the past and present in a second! Remember to have your camera ready to definitely take a picture of your life ~ Finally, once again, there are too many places in Xi'an worth exploring slowly, walking, standing, eating and taking pictures, and immersing yourself in the stories and human touch of the ancient capital. 🧡

Furong Garden

Step Into Tang Dynasty Splendor—Xi’an’s Datang Furongyuan & Datang Buyecheng 🏮🕌 Get ready to time-travel through Xi’an’s golden era with back-to-back visits to Datang Furongyuan and Datang Buyecheng! These two decadent Tang-style hotspots bring history, culture, and dazzling night lights alive, perfect if you love immersive vibes and photo ops. Start your evening at Datang Furongyuan (Furong Garden): arrive before sunset for lakeside strolls under willow trees, snap the main gate’s ancient grandeur, and don’t miss the illuminated palace buildings as day turns to night. Must-do: catch the nightly Tang Dynasty music and dance show—it feels like stepping onto a royal stage! For iconic shots, find the lakeside bridges glowing against the palace silhouette. Afterward, walk (or bike) along Lantern Avenue just outside the garden, making your way to Datang Buyecheng. This sprawling pedestrian mall is packed with lanterns, street performances, and themed storefronts—hello, Insta heaven! Be sure to sample local street food, especially Xi’an pita (roujiamo) and sweet glutinous rice cakes. Best photo spots: under the hanging lantern canopies and at the giant Tang warriors’ statues. Tips for travelers: Both attractions are busiest after 7:30 PM, so get there by 6:00 for golden hour shots and shorter queues. Wear comfy shoes for lots of walking. Furongyuan has a ticket fee; Buyecheng is free but beware of pickpockets in crowded areas. If you love night photography, bring a tripod—the lighting is lush but tricky. #XiAn #TangDynasty #NightTour #CulturalTravel #PhotoSpots
