The Xi'an City Wall has turned into a giant ecological tank

Xi'an has experienced continuous autumn rain for over a month. As a result, the blue bricks on sections of the Xi'an City Wall from Jianguomen to Hepingmen are covered with moss, and the trees at the base of the wall are also covered with moss, along with succulents, small mushrooms, and more. The scene of "moss marks turning the steps green" has become a vivid reality on the Xi'an City Wall. The ancient wall, adorned with moss, exudes even more historical charm and a sense of timeworn beauty, as if every blue brick is telling a story of the ages. Visitors strolling here can feel a sense of tranquility and antiquity, as if traveling back to ancient times. Come to the Xi'an City Wall to check in this unique autumn landscape and experience the charm of history blending with nature!

Xi'an Muslim Quarter

Spent 3 amazing nights in Xi’an and I couldn’t believe how epic the old meets new vibes are! 😍 From ancient emperors to neon noodle bars, this city brings the drama. If you’re after history, food, and super easy adventures, bookmark this! Must-See Places: - Terracotta Warriors Museum (Lintong District, 8:30am–5pm): Xi’an’s no.1 must! The army is jaw-dropping. Pro tip: Go early for photo ops. - City Wall (South Gate, 8am–10pm): Walk or rent a bike for a killer city view. At night, fairy lights make it extra magical. - Muslim Quarter (Huimin St, til late): Snack heaven — try lamb kebabs or roujiamo (“Chinese burger”). Crowds thin out after 8pm for easier exploring. - Giant Wild Goose Pagoda (Yanta District, 8am–5pm): Beautiful architecture and a chill surrounding park. - Drum Tower & Bell Tower (Beilin District, 8:30am–9:30pm): These historic towers are close together and super photogenic, especially at dusk. Tips: - Buy tickets for major spots on trip.com ahead — lines can be gnarly at Terracotta Warriors. - Biking the City Wall takes ~1.5 hours. Bring water! - The subway and Didi (ride-sharing) make getting around dead simple. - Most street stalls in the Muslim Quarter take cash or WeChat Pay, so load up before heading out. - Weather: Xi’an can be dry year-round but gets chilly at night — pack layers. Food Faves: - Roujiamo at Lao Sun Jia — it’s iconic - Hand-pulled biangbiang noodles at First Noodle Under The Sun - Persimmon cakes from street vendors Getting Around: - Xi’an Metro is clean, cheap, and English-friendly. - Didi app works best for late nights or further spots. Pack some comfy shoes because you’ll walk LOTS. Xi’an totally delivers, whether you’re a history buffs or a foodie on the run! #XianTrip #AncientChina #FoodieAdventure #TerracottaWarriors #tripdotcom
