Hangout with friends in their hometown. Beautiful view from at top of mountain.

Terracotta Warriors: I chose to enter the park at 3pm to avoid the crowds. I didn't go to Mount Li. Tang Dynasty City: There were still a lot of people in the off-season. There was no performance at all. It was all blocked by the crowds. Qinling Four Treasures Science Park: This is one of the reasons why I want to visit Xi'an. Because I like the brown panda (Qizi) in the park. It is the only captive brown panda in the world. The park is far away from the city, and you can choose to take a bus or a taxi. I chose to take a taxi, although the fare is quite expensive, but comfort is the most important thing.

6 days and 5 nights trip to Xi'an. Went to see the Terracotta Warriors, the Tang Dynasty City, Daxingshan Temple, Yongxingfang, the Bell Tower and Drum Tower, Xiaonanmen, and Xiangzi Temple. Ate the legendary Biang Biang noodles. The overall experience was good. #西安旅游

Xi'an is really a very suitable place for independent travel. The food is cheap, big and delicious😋 But I need to give a tip to "people who don't eat beef", because many stalls are made with beef, such as dumplings, hand-pulled pancakes, etc. But it's really delicious and of high quality. 🏖️Environment/Facilities: Starway Hotel is really convenient. Right in front of you is a street where you don't have to worry about food or clothing. It is a city that never sleeps. It is convenient to go anywhere, and the meeting point for the tour group is not far away. Many attractions can be reached on foot, such as: Golden Bridge, Muslim Street, Bell Tower, Drum Tower, and Gao Family Courtyard. 💞Recommendation reason: There are many delicious and authentic foods in Sajin Bridge, among which there is a halal big plate chicken that is delicious 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 (because I went in casually without a purpose) It is a bit far to walk back to Xingchen Hotel from Sajin Bridge, but it was a one-stop state when I set out, so the hike was not very good at all. During the hike, I passed the bell tower, many small stalls (souvenirs, snacks), Muslim Street and other scenic spots, so I didn’t feel it was too far. If you are tired when you go back, it is recommended to take a taxi, because it takes about 1.8 to 2.2 kilometers to walk back! The Tang Dynasty City That Never Sleeps is also convenient for high-speed rail You must hire a tour guide to visit the Terracotta Warriors, otherwise you will feel helpless and not understand their purpose. Unfortunately I didn't go to the museum. The restaurant near the accommodation is delicious: the blanched lamb bones are delicious, and the chicken is also good 📍Address: No. 7 Mafangmen #xi'an #sajinqiao #qinshihuangterracottawarriors #xi'ancitywall #xi'antourism #xi'anbelltower #muslimstreet #chinafreetravel #xian #starwayhotel #xi'an,china

Ticket prices: Single ticket: CNY 35/person; Package ticket (admission + Moon Bay cruise): CNY 50/person. Best time to visit Drive directly towards Xifeng Cave to the parking lot on the mountain. Climb a flight of steps for about four or five minutes to reach Xifeng Chan Temple. The entrance to Xifeng Cave is next to the temple. Enter the cave and climb the steps for about 20 minutes to exit. The cave is a great place to take photos. After exiting the cave, climb another flight of steps for about three to five minutes to reach Guanhu Pavilion. You can see a narrow crevice in the rock face midway up the climb. Although you should be able to see a panoramic view from here, I think the view of Huating Lake from Xifeng Chan Temple is more beautiful. Oh, there is a dining hall opposite Xifeng Chan Temple. Climb to the top of the mountain where Xifeng Chan Temple is located to enjoy a panoramic view of Huating Lake. The scenery is truly stunning. The moment the temple bell rings, it seems to evoke many memories, yet also nothing at all. It looks great! The scenery is beautiful, excellent, and the air is fresh.

Escaping from the city may be on everyone's plan in the current era, especially in spring, when the desire for breeze and sunshine is even stronger. I've been so busy with work lately that the only sunny hours are all in the office. It's a pity that the good weather has been wasted recently. So I decided to be true to myself and escape from the city to become a wild man. I set out from Shanghai that day and drove for about 6 hours. As expected, I felt endless strength on the road to freedom. It was already evening when I arrived at the B&B. I checked in directly. The housekeeper was very enthusiastic and prepared tea and snacks. I have to say that it is really quiet in the mountains at night. The only sounds I can hear are the wind and the croaking of frogs. I slept very soundly during the two days I stayed there. I feel like my neurasthenia was cured. The room I chose is about 60 square meters and has a terrace. When I get up early in the morning and stand on the terrace to breathe the fresh air, I feel that life is worth it and I am so happy. You can directly search for the name of the B&B, Taihu County Yingriting B&B. The room type I chose is: Linfeng Lake View Suite.
