After three trips to Xi'an, I have summarized this super detailed 3-day and 2-night guide. Friends who want to come recently, hurry up and save it! Especially friends departing from Chengdu, highly recommend 🚅, very convenient. ✔️Day1 Morning: Chengdu 🚅 Xi'an, arrive at the hotel at noon, start citywalk in the afternoon to check in at Xi'an Dazibao, and see the night view of the Bell Tower. It is recommended to book a hotel near the Bell Tower, as it is very convenient to travel by subway. After arriving at the hotel at noon and resting for a while, start walking around to check in at various Xi'an Dazibao walls and landmarks. After dinner, go to the fifth floor of Kaiyuan Mall to see the night view of the bustling Bell Tower. ✔️Day2 Guangren Temple - Big Wild Goose Pagoda - Xiangzi Temple - Yongning Gate City Wall - Great Tang All Day Mall Be sure to get up early to go to Guangren Temple to take pictures of the red walls and white pagoda, as there are not many people at this time. Next, go to Joy City. You don't need to enter the Big Wild Goose Pagoda; you can take photos with the pagoda from outside. After lunch, it is recommended to go back to the hotel to rest for a while, and then come out for a citywalk in the afternoon. Citywalk route: Xiangzi Temple Street ➡️ Defu Lane ➡️ Shuyuanmen, the scenery along the way is beautiful, with ancient walls and old trees complementing each other, giving a strong sense of history. There are many people at Yongning Gate City Wall, and it is very hot, so it is recommended to go later to watch the sunset from the city wall. ✔️Day3 Leisurely museum tour: Anrenfang Ruins Exhibition Hall and Shaanxi Art Museum If you want to understand the history of the ancient capital Chang'an, you must not miss the museums. We went to the Anrenfang Ruins Exhibition Hall and the Shaanxi Art Museum. Each museum has its own merits. Personally, I prefer Anrenfang, as it is very photogenic, and the design inside is great. If I have the chance, I would like to visit the Xi'an Museum next time. Remember to make reservations in advance for the museums. About accommodation: It is recommended to choose a hotel near the Bell Tower first, as it is very convenient to go to the attractions. About food: Lamb paomo, biangbiang noodles, oil-splashed noodles, roujiamo... There are really too many delicious foods in Shaanxi, and they are all quite heavy in flavor!

Local tips coming your way! If you're planning a trip to Xi'an, you must read and save this practical guide I've painstakingly put together❤️‍🔥 For your reference✨ 🔥Must-visit attractions 👉🏻Bell Tower, Drum Tower: The Bell Tower is located in the center of Xi'an, a landmark building, and the Drum Tower is next to the Muslim Quarter. Both are close by, a 5-minute walk apart, and there's a joint ticket for climbing both towers for 50 RMB; 🌸Tips: The views from the towers and from the outside each have their own charm. For outdoor photos, go to the observation deck on the 5th floor of Kaiyuan Mall next to the Bell Tower. The photo angle is superb, and it's free❗ 👉🏻Tang Paradise, Big Wild Goose Pagoda: These places are frequently trending online. It's less crowded during the day, but the real scene comes alive at night; It's recommended to go in the afternoon, start with the Big Wild Goose Pagoda (no need to go up, outdoor photos are classic). You can check the performance schedule on the Tang Paradise official account, plan ahead to queue for the show you're most interested in, as it really gets crowded to the point of questioning life 👉🏻Xi'an City Wall: Allocate enough time here, it's easy to get up but hard to come down, with a total length of 13.7 kilometers. It's worth renting a bicycle to go around (45 RMB/3 hours). The Yongning Gate is the most classic city gate, and it's the best spot for a photo🌈 👉🏻Terracotta Army: Tickets are 120 RMB per person, located outside the main urban area of Xi'an, quite far, one of the world's eight wonders. Don't set your expectations too high, it's one of those heritage sites where you feel like since you're there, you've got to check it off your list. Hiring a guide can make it more interesting. 🔥Must-try local foods Shaanxi cuisine: You can go to Chang'an Stove under Yongning Gate, classic and authentic, with dishes like gourd chicken, clothes-hanging tripe that are both good-looking and tasty, and elbow rice that's very fragrant. You can also enjoy the city wall view⭐️ Snacks: Roujiamo (meat sandwich), gourd chicken, beef and mutton paomo (locals prefer beef paomo, ✨it's suggested to try paomo, water basin, and small stir-fry, each with its own flavor), gourd head, zeng cake (don't buy mirror cake, it's not tasty! Take my advice!), biangbiang noodles, rice skin, meatball hot and spicy soup, oil tea; The Muslim Quarter is not as bad as rumored, avoid common snacks like grilled squid❌ Recommended is Grandma's sour plum soup, choose half-and-half with fermented glutinous rice sour plum soup, delicious!

#timetotravel I had the opporunity to see Xian's Bell tower thrice and I always get to see it since I was also touring family and friends around. This bell tower is more beautiful at night as it lights up but it is beautiful anyway no matter what time of the day it is. It is near all the other tourist attractions in Xian so you can definitely drop by here and admire its beauty. You can go inside as well if that is what you prefer for only 35 rmb. Enjoy! #tripblazers #mytripvlog #belltower #xian #historical #culture

It is located between the north and south gate of the city wall. A short walk from Muslim street, this is a large roundabout area where you can admire this traditional building. You can pay 35 RMB to get inside and get a fine view of Xi'an from the top. I enjoy going to the City Wall and go to Drum Tower (both nearby) to photograph Bell Tower. There are shopping malls nearby to enjoy food and drink too. #belltower #xian

The dishes are unbelievable tasty! Yes, it is required to wait until the food be cooked, because it is not street food, but it worth it. #passionpassport#gooutside#grouptravel#asiatrip

If you really into architectures, you would like Xi’an

The historic Bell Tower from early Ming dynasty. I love how the city built its roads and new buildings around the Bell Tower. A perfect example of preserving history while developing the city.

the Bell tower is at the very heart of this beautiful and authentic city of Xi'An. it serves as an orientation to the airport shuttle bus so If you don't know where this particular shuttle bus goes to - just ask whether it goes to Xi'an Bell tower. if so - you will go straight to the city center. the shuttle bus actually stops a bit further - at the gate if the bell tower hotel but it's within 5 minutes walk to Subway station and to various public transits #xian #xianbelltower #happynewyear

📍The Bell Tower, Xi’an I prefer Xi’an bell tower at night. The light was so eye catchy😍 I came around bell tower almost everyday during night. my hostel was around that area.

#chinatrip My recent visit to Xi’an was a journey through history, culture, and vibrant local life. Walking through the Xi’an Muslim Quarter, I was captivated by the bustling streets filled with aromatic food stalls offering delicacies like lamb skewers and persimmon cakes. The energy of the market and the blend of Chinese and Islamic cultures left a lasting impression. The Xi’an Bell Tower, standing majestically at the city’s center, showcased the grandeur of Ming dynasty architecture. The intricate wooden structure and panoramic views of the city offered a glimpse into Xi’an’s historical significance as an ancient capital. Equally impressive was the nearby Xi’an Drum Tower, a companion to the Bell Tower. Its elegant design and displays of ancient drums transported me to a time when these instruments were used to mark the rhythm of city life. The trip reminded me of the harmonious fusion of history and modernity in Xi’an.

What I Did Right on My Trip to Xi'an|||1. Accommodation I recommend staying near the Bell Tower and Drum Tower, or near the Muslim Quarter. We stayed in the Muslim Quarter, and the driver told us that cars are not allowed in the Muslim Quarter. We stayed for three days, and our daily transportation was a small electric car, which can seat four people. It costs CNY 10 to get from the middle of the street to the Bell Tower. This location is convenient for getting around, and it's easy to return things the next day after getting your makeup done. 2. Makeup The four of us all got our makeup done at Yizhou Shopping Mall, but you don't have to go to the same store. Each store has its own popular styles, so you can check them out online in advance and choose according to your preferences. The popular styles at each store are easier for them to do and less likely to go wrong. 3. Itinerary I recommend my itinerary if you want to get your makeup done. Day 1 (travel light and wear comfortable shoes) After lunch at 11:00, find a place to go up the city wall and take some photos before getting your makeup done, and have some fun. After getting your makeup done, you'll feel heavy and it will be inconvenient to walk for a long time. Go to get your makeup done at around 13:30. We went to Yizhou Shopping Mall, which is close to the city wall and the Bell Tower. After getting your makeup done, you can go to the city wall to take photos (Yongning Gate). At 17:00, get off at Yongning Gate, where there is a bus stop. The double-decker bus is a shuttle bus between the Bell Tower and the Great Tang All Day Mall, and costs CNY 10 per person for a round trip. Arrive at the Great Tang All Day Mall at around 18:00, and go shopping and watch performances. We went to the Chang'an Twelve Hours, which is generally recommended. You can go there if you want to take photos. Before getting off the bus, ask the driver how often the bus runs at night, and take the bus back to the Bell Tower in time to take photos of the Bell Tower at night. Day 2 When you return your clothes to Yizhou Shopping Mall in the morning, you can go to the Bell Tower to take photos of the popular transition. Then take the shuttle bus next to the Bell Tower to see the Terracotta Warriors. The journey takes about an hour, and costs more than CNY 30 per person, including a tour guide. I think the service is good and the tour guide is very professional. There is only a sales session for Hetian jade at the end, which you can skip. Finally, you can try more food and drinks. Overall, I think the food is quite good.
