Things to do in Xianyang

The scenic area is large and clean, with a refreshing atmosphere. The children were very happy, and the visit was very comfortable. The staff were very welcoming, and the routes were well-designed, making it incredibly convenient! I will definitely come again next time.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five-star review! Highly recommend Ms. Yanzi from the Qin and Han Dynasty Hall of the Shaanxi History Museum! Ms. Yanzi's explanations are professional and solid, and her presentation is vivid and engaging. Our group wasn't a premium small group tour, but the quality of the explanations far exceeded my expectations. Compared to several premium small group tours I've attended before, it was just as good, and much more affordable. My daughter is particularly fascinated by Qin Dynasty history and listened attentively throughout the entire tour, especially enjoying Ms. Yanzi's explanations. Following Ms. Yanzi through the Qin and Han Dynasty Hall, she clearly explained the stories behind the Qin and Han artifacts, making the whole experience incredibly enjoyable and well worth it!

This place is criminally underrated. It has unfortunately been overshadowed by the nearby Terracotta Warriors (don’t get me wrong, that’s also a must-do). The Qin Dynasty unified China, but the Han Dynasty created its identity. The site itself has an underground museum, which was a genius move. The original pits were left in-situ, and they built the museum around it. You can see the pits right beneath your feet, and get up close from the sides. It’s amazing to contrast it with the Qin Terracotta Army; life-sized vs miniature status, and an army vs people doing everyday things. Where the former was built on conquest, the latter was built on sustainable statescraft. The complex is huge and there was barely anyone. No tour groups, and most of the times i only see 1-2 others in each room. Xi’An is the historical centre of gravity of China, and if you’re here, you have to explore the Qin, Han and Tang legacy

This was a special treat for my zodiac year. Although I've lived in Xi'an for years, I've never been before. It's definitely not comparable to Disneyland, but the rides were enough for the kids. It was quite crowded during the Spring Festival, with long queues for the bumper cars and log flume. We played from noon until dark. The only downside was the limited dining options and the poor value for money. We also happened to catch a fireworks show during the Spring Festival.

Worth a visit; it's serene and solemn. Seeing the place where Emperor Wu of Han lies, and imagining his heroic exploits during his conquest of the empire, is especially moving. Paying homage to the tomb of Huo Qubing, a young hero of history, evokes profound emotions.

It's great, the price is reasonable, and the kids had a lot of fun. It's a great place with many roller coasters, both thrilling and mild. We were tourists and spent the whole day there. Thumbs up!

The city wall is such a unique experience. Giant ancient stone contrasted against the modern city skyline. I don’t think I’ve seen anything quite like it in my travels. I walked along the north city wall over to the Guangren Buddhist Temple. By foot it only took around 30 minutes. The sheer scale of the wall is fascinating.

The Shaanxi History Museum is absolutely worth a special trip! The ticket for the Treasure Gallery included a guided tour, and I also visited the Basic Gallery, making for a very fulfilling experience. The Treasure Gallery's exhibits are of extremely high quality, ranging from Shang and Zhou bronzes to Tang Dynasty gold and silver artifacts—each piece is a national treasure. The He Zun bronze vessel, the gilded silver ewer with a dancing horse holding a cup, the gold-inlaid agate cup with an animal head… even through the glass, you can feel the exquisite craftsmanship and majesty that transcends a thousand years. The Tang Dynasty artifacts, in particular, are breathtakingly magnificent. The Basic Gallery is arranged chronologically, from the Lantian Man to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, systematically tracing the development of Shaanxi and even the entire Chinese civilization. After seeing it, I truly understood the significance of Shaanxi as the "Capital of Thirteen Dynasties." The guided tour was a huge bonus. The guide didn't just read from a textbook; instead, they brought out the historical stories and craftsmanship details behind the artifacts in a lively and engaging way. Many details that I would have missed on my own were highlighted, making the experience far exceed my expectations. It's recommended to make reservations in advance via their official WeChat account. Tickets for the Treasure Gallery are in high demand, so it's best to book early. If you can only visit two museums in Xi'an, the Shaanxi History Museum is a must-see!

My second visit to the Zheng Guo Canal Scenic Area was once again captivating, leaving me deeply moved by the breathtaking scenery of this canyon. Zheng Guo Lake shimmered in the sunlight; a gentle bamboo raft ride offered picturesque views of the cliffs on either side. Reaching the waterfall, the sun shone brightly, and a rainbow appeared amidst the mist – so soothing! The Via Ferrata at Fuyuntai, perched atop a cliff overlooking the Jinghe River Canyon, was thrilling and exhilarating. This day trip combined the grandeur of a thousand-year-old water conservancy project with the natural beauty of the mountains and rivers, making it a fulfilling and perfect experience.
