In the heart of Xi'an's old city, living inside a painting

Spent a holiday with family at a designer guesthouse next to the Bell Tower. The environment is incredibly quiet, filled with gentle details everywhere~ The host warmly greeted us as soon as we arrived~ Winter sunlight poured through the window, warming the whole body~ Downstairs is the bustling Muslim Quarter, where we bought a bunch of special delicious snacks~ Staying here feels like a hidden retreat within the city, a little urban seclusion🌆~ The designer's spatial aesthetics make every corner a place of tranquility~ Taking photos📷 comes with a built-in relaxation filter, this is what a mild city vacation is all about!

Huajue Lane, the Great Mosque

Stroll, Snack, and Snap in Xi’an's Vibrant Muslim Quarter ✨ Kick off your adventure in the heart of Xi’an’s historic Muslim Quarter - this maze of lively alleyways is bursting with flavor, energy, and culture. Expect bustling street markets, sizzling local specialties (try roujiamo and yangrou paomo!), and endless opportunities for people-watching and shopping. Feeling indecisive about the food? Join one of the popular guided food tours - they’ll steer you toward authentic hijazi delights without the fear of picking a miss. Sample your way down Beiyuanmen Street, stopping for souvenir shopping and eye-catching architecture, before heading to Huajue Lane to discover the serene The Great Mosque of Xi’an. This architectural marvel blends traditional Chinese and Islamic design - prime photo spot: the elegant courtyards framed with centuries-old trees and elaborate stonework. If the crowds get overwhelming, retreat to Lianhu Park. It’s a peaceful escape, especially after dark when the park’s paths and lake shimmer with evening lights and locals unwind. Snap some reflective, moody pics - the modern and historic backdrops make for striking contrasts. Tips: Wear comfy shoes - you’ll be walking plenty. Evenings tend to liven up, so plan your visit to catch the best lights in the park and the lively vibe in the Quarter. #XiAn #MuslimQuarter #StreetFood #CulturalExploration #TravelChina

Unforgettable Xi’an: Ancient Marvels & Modern Vibes 🏯😍 Ready for 3 days of pure history-meets-hustle bliss? Xi’an blends epic emperors, tasty street eats, and city walls that once held armies at bay. From the Terracotta Army to dazzling drum towers, you’ll catch the heart of ancient China and modern city life! Day 1: Terracotta Warriors at Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum Must-do: Walk through thousands of life-sized warriors—each with a unique face! Photo Spot: A sunny shot of warrior rows and close-ups of intricate details (Modern architecture + Chinese heritage for your feed). Tip: Arrive early to beat the crowds; visits are best in the AM. If it’s cloudy/rainy, the exhibition halls offer shelter. Precaution: Watch your step in busy areas and keep bags secure. Day 2: Xi’an City Wall Adventure Must-do: Bike or walk atop the ancient wall—It’s the best way to see the city’s four iconic gates. Photo Spot: Capture close-ups of the gates and panoramic views where nature meets old brickwork. Tip: Evening visits (open till 22:00!) let you enjoy sparkling city lights. Precaution: Bring water on sunny days and wear good shoes—wall paths can be bumpy. Day 3: Downtown Vibes—Muslim Quarter & Bell Tower Must-do: Snack your way through Muslim Quarter (open all day!), sampling roujiamo (Chinese burgers) and fresh pomegranate juice. Photo Spot: Street food stalls and colorful shop signs, plus the elegant Bell Tower glowing at sunset. Tip: The Bell Tower’s night opening hours are perfect for relaxed sightseeing. Precaution: Watch for pickpockets in food markets; keep a raincoat handy for surprise showers. #XiAn #TerracottaWarriors #AncientChina #TravelTips #CulturalJourney
