Xi'an's beautiful scenery and delicious food

Xi'an | A Journey Through a Thousand Years of Prosperity: This Guide Will Help You Have a Great Time! Girls👋, can you imagine yourself traveling back to the Tang Dynasty in an instant? You can in Xi'an! This ancient capital of thirteen dynasties is like a giant history museum; every brick and tile holds countless stories. Today, I'll guide you through this incredibly practical Xi'an travel guide, helping you explore this charming city in depth! Preparations ● Documents: ID card, student ID (don't forget if you have discounts). ● Clothing: Xi'an's climate is changeable, so check the weather forecast beforehand. Bring a light jacket in spring and autumn, sunscreen in summer, and a thick coat in winter. ● Other: Prepare some common medications, such as cold medicine and stomach medicine. Don't forget to bring a power bank and a camera to capture beautiful moments📷. Must-See Attractions **Terracotta Army of Qin Shi Huang** 📍Address: Qinling North Road, Lintong District, Xi'an ⏰Opening Hours: March 16 – November 15, 08:30 – 17:00; November 16 – March 15 of the following year, 08:30 – 16:30 🎫Ticket Price: 120 RMB "You haven't truly been to China if you haven't seen the Terracotta Army." The magnificence of the Terracotta Army can only be truly appreciated in person. Standing in the exhibition hall, you can almost see the majestic figure of Qin Shi Huang conquering the six kingdoms. It's highly recommended to hire a guide; otherwise, you might just see a bunch of clay figures. Only after listening to the explanation will you learn that each terracotta warrior has a unique expression and story. **Xi'an City Wall** 📍Address: Central District, Xi'an ⏰Opening Hours: 08:00 – 22:00 🎫Ticket Price: 54 RMB This is the largest and best-preserved ancient city wall in China. You can rent a bicycle 🚲 and cycle around the city wall, experiencing the vicissitudes of history. The scenery from the city wall is also fantastic, offering views of Xi'an's cityscape. Tang Dynasty Never Sleeping City 📍Address: Ci'en Road, Yanta District, Xi'an ⏰Opening Hours: All day 🎫Admission: Free This place is practically a microcosm of the Tang Dynasty's golden age 🎉! At night, Tang Dynasty Never Sleeping City is brightly lit, with various performances and unique stalls. Be sure to check out the "Tumbler Girl" performance; you might even get to hold hands with her! 🤭 Shaanxi History Museum 📍Address: No. 91 Xiaozhai East Road, Yanta District, Xi'an ⏰Opening Hours: Summer (March 15 – November 15) 09:00 – 17:30; Winter (November 16 – March 14 of the following year) 09:00 – 17:00 🎫Admission: Basic Exhibition Hall: Free (advance reservation required via WeChat official account); Treasure Hall: 30 RMB; Tang Dynasty Mural Hall: 270 RMB "Give me a day, and I'll give you ten thousand years." The Shaanxi History Museum boasts a rich collection of artifacts, spanning from ancient times to the Sui and Tang Dynasties. If time is limited, we recommend focusing on the Treasure Hall and the Tang Dynasty Mural Hall. Food Recommendation Roujiamo (Chinese Hamburger) Coming to Xi'an without trying Roujiamo is a wasted trip! Crispy buns filled with tender and juicy braised meat – one bite is incredibly satisfying 🤤. We recommend Zhangji Roujiamo on Ziwu Road. Lamb Stew with Flatbread This is a traditional Xi'an delicacy, generously portioned and delicious. Breaking the flatbread is a skill; break it slowly, and the more you break, the more flavorful it becomes. Lao Sun's Lamb Stew with Flatbread at Lao Sun's Restaurant is very authentic. Cold Skin Noodles Cold skin noodles have a smooth texture and a delicious sour and spicy flavor, making them a great choice for cooling off in the summer. Wei Jia Liangpi chain stores have many branches, and the taste is also good. Biangbiang Noodles Long noodles with a chewy texture. The name is interesting, and it's also quite complicated to write; you can try writing it yourself 😜. Accommodation Recommendations ● Near the Bell Tower: Convenient transportation, close to many attractions, and you can enjoy the night view of the Bell Tower. ● Near the Big Wild Goose Pagoda: Many restaurants nearby, close to the Tang Paradise and the Shaanxi History Museum. Itinerary Day 1 Morning: Arrive in Xi'an, check into the hotel, and rest. Lunch: Enjoy a bowl of authentic lamb stew with flatbread. Afternoon: Visit the Xi'an City Wall and cycle around it. Evening: Go to the Tang Paradise to experience the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. Day 2 Morning: Visit the Shaanxi History Museum to learn about Shaanxi's history and culture. Lunch: Enjoy roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) and liangpi (cold skin noodles). Afternoon: Visit the Terracotta Army of Qin Shi Huang to experience the weight of history. Evening: Return to the city center and stroll through the Muslim Quarter, sampling various snacks. Day 3 Morning: Free time to explore local markets and experience Xi'an's everyday life. Lunch: Eat biangbiang noodles. Afternoon: Pack your bags and prepare for your return trip. Girls, quickly save this guide and embark on a journey through a thousand years of Xi'an! 👏 If you have any other questions, feel free to leave a comment!
