Shaanxi Xi'an | Must-visit attractions for first-timers in Xi'an

Xi'an was once the capital of thirteen dynasties, leaving behind a treasure trove of history and culture as numerous as the stars. The imposing ancient city walls, the bustling Muslim Quarter, and the world-renowned Terracotta Army are all favorites among tourists from all over. The following attractions are the most popular in Xi'an and are suitable for first-time visitors. The sites are concentrated in the city center and the eastern suburbs, including historical monuments, food districts, and city landmarks, which can be fully explored in 3 days. Top1 Terracotta Army 🌟 Highlight: One of the eight wonders of the world, a vast site ❤ Recommended because: The Terracotta Army (Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor Museum) is located in the Lintong District to the east of Xi'an, about an hour's drive from the city center. It attracts millions of domestic and international tourists every year to witness this 'eighth wonder of the world.' This massive underground formation, even after thousands of years, still features lifelike facial expressions on the soldiers, with clear details of their clothing and even the lines on the soles of their shoes visible. The museum is divided into Pit 1, Pit 2, Pit 3, and the Exhibition Hall of Bronze Chariots and Horses. Pit 1 displays thousands of terracotta warriors, a grand and spectacular scene; Pit 2 has not been excavated on a large scale, but the unearthed soldiers are more exquisite. The green-faced warrior currently on display at the Shaanxi History Museum was discovered here. Who knows, maybe the ground beneath your feet holds a future world-famous treasure; Pit 3, the 'command post,' has unearthed warriors and chariots not found in Pits 1 and 2, the smallest area but the most special. 🕙 Business hours: Ticket and opening hours Regular ticket: 120 yuan/person (discounts available on Ctrip) Peak season: 8:30～17:00 (March 1st - end of November) Off-season: 8:30～16:30 (December 1st - end of February next year) ⏳ Visiting time: 2 and a half hours is enough to fully explore Pits 1, 2, 3, and the Exhibition Hall of Bronze Chariots and Horses. 🚉 Transportation strategy: Take the subway line 9 to Huaqingchi Station and transfer to Lintong 613 for the Terracotta Army; or take subway line 1 to the Textile City Hub Station and transfer to bus route 5 or 306. 📝tips: Nearby attractions to visit: Huaqing Palace 🌟 Highlight: Huaqing Palace was a royal bathing resort throughout the dynasties, made even more famous by Yang Guifei's bathing here. The biggest attraction is the hot springs, in addition to the garden landscapes, ancient buildings, and famous trees and cultural relics. Moreover, because of the ancient Tang-style architecture, it's very easy to take beautiful photos while wearing Hanfu here. 🕙 Business hours: Monday to Sunday 07:30-18:00 🚉 Transportation strategy: Bus: Take bus 307/Lintong 602/Lintong 613 to Huaqingchi Bus Station to arrive—Subway: Take subway line 9 to Huaqingchi Subway Station to arrive

Xi'an City Wall: A Golden Romance

 The ancient capital, a warm winter day. In the afternoon, the sun sets in the west, and the light falls on the blue bricks and gray tiles of the west gate. Leaving home, turning the corner of Bingjiao Lane, Hanguang Gate is not far ahead. Leaning against the blue bricks of the city wall, which has withstood 600 years of wind and rain, and strolling along the moat, Xi'an people spend their days and nights under the city wall, under the moonlight... The setting sun shines, the breeze blows, and the city wall under the blue sky and white clouds is like a gentle messenger, quietly taking away the hustle and bustle of the city, silently thinking about the past. The sunlight falls like a golden veil, and the bright sun gently dispels the cold and confusion of winter. Walking along the golden path, breathing in the cool air of the forest, accompanied by the golden leaves on the branches, at the corner of time, an inexplicable sense of longing and nostalgia arises. Walking along the path by the moat, the ginkgo trees in the setting sun, shaking their colorful leaves, fall into the clear water of the moat, shining with golden light, showing their charming beauty. On the mottled gray bricks and blue stones, the old trees and crows talk to the young man in golden armor, and in the light and shadow, I was once like you. The flowers bloom and wither, and the life of Xi'an people is under the city wall. The elderly hold hands in the golden sunset, reminiscing about their youth; children dance in the golden flowers, forgetting to go home. Strolling along the southwest corner of the city wall, the ancient city wall in the sunset, after thousands of years of wind and rain, is still majestic and magnificent. As the lights come on, walking under the ancient city wall in the moonlight, I feel as if I have returned to the Tang Dynasty. Under the corner of the city wall, who makes the silent fallen leaves express their feelings, creating a golden heart and a jade pot of spring. As night falls, the ancient city wall is full of light and color, showing its charming and enchanting appearance. A palace lantern is lit in front, illuminating the way home through Hanguang Gate...

Xi'an! Zhonglou North Street! Super comfortable ✅The room is really beautiful. It's really beautiful after the lights are turned on at night! It's very close to the Bell Tower, Muslim Street, Datang Everbright City, and the train station! You can also take beautiful photos in the room, it's so worth it! The room is clean and tidy, with smart controls throughout the house, very high-tech! ✅The hotel's location is great. The hotel is only 300 meters from North Street, very convenient. There's a subway station not far from the hotel, making it easy to get anywhere! There's also a lot of food around. I checked in at Xi'an Restaurant, Chang'an Food Stalls, Sanbao BBQ, etc.~ ✅Excellent service. The hotel is very smart, even food deliveries are brought to the room by robots, so cute. The facilities are complete, and the laundry room is very convenient! The breakfast is very rich! There are also fruits, everything is very fresh! After eating a full meal, I'm full of energy to go out and play. ✅It's still in trial operation, the price is not expensive, very affordable, free upgrade to a superior double room~ I don't want to leave once I'm here.

Xi'an and the Terra-cotta Soldiers, China

I went during the off season (November) which I highly recommend. I've heard in the summer the building these soldiers are in can be extremely hot and crowded. In November is was a little chilly but you didn't need more than a sweater, no lines for anything and at most you had two people infant of you so just wait a second and they will move and you will have the view you wanted. The soldiers are amazing, I couldn't believe how incredible they are but also that they are colored which is something I never knew. Its unfortunate that some lost their colors and others are being protected out of sight. Maybe one day we will be able to see them in all their colourful glory again.

Xiang Yundian | Save on a flight to Yunnan

| Save on a flight to Yunnan. The mushrooms are airlifted from Yunnan to Xi'an every day. One bite will take you to Yunnan. The broth is made with fresh mushrooms, and the wild mushrooms are simmered for more than four hours. The aroma is mouthwatering, and the soup is nutritious and healthy. The restaurant is decorated in a traditional style, and the service is excellent. It's a great place for family gatherings or business dinners. If you want to try authentic Yunnan mushroom soup, this is the place to go. Get your friends together and come here on a cold day.

Xi'an 西安 ～3 day trip

This trip took place in January 2020. Some places may have changed since. 1. Terracotta Warriors (images 1-3) Address - 西安市秦陵北路与秦俑馆公路交叉口 Highlights - Back in my home country, I had seen a few of these warriors in the museum. But to see this many in one place is pretty special. There are plenty of guides available at the gate if you need, however I am always happy to go at my own pace and try to practice reading the Chinese descriptions. Notes - Ensure you take cash with you, for the bus and the entry ticket. I didn't have enough cash and had to ask a tour guide to give me cash and I transfer him money through wechat. Not very convenient. Rating - 9/10 2. Mojo Cafe (images 4-6) Address - 经济技术开发区凤城八路与文景路十字西南角国金华府12幢1101室 Highlights - This cafe brand was created back in New Zealand and it's first cafe outside of NZ was here in Xi'an so of course I had to try it. And it brought me back home. They even had a photo of my favourite Mojo cafe in Wellington where I often had my coffee. Rating - 9/10 3. Streets of Xi'an (images 7-9) Address - I can't remember exactly where these streets were but they were in the middle of the city somewhere. Highlights - I always enjoy walking the streets of new cities and watching the people go by. Rating - 8/10 #ancienttomb#ancientlandmark#historicculture#café#museumquest#culturalattractions
