Heading to Xi’an? You can’t miss the legendary Xi’an Drum Tower – a spot that’s got both serious history and some of the best city views you’ll find! 🌇 Top Spot to Visit: Xi’an Drum Tower Address: No. 74, North Courtyard, Lianhu District, Xi'an Opening Hours: - Apr 1-Jul 18: 08:30-21:30 (last ticket: 21:00) - Jul 19-Aug 31: 08:30-22:30 (last ticket: 22:00) - Sep 1-Oct 10: 08:30-21:30 (last ticket: 21:00) - Oct 11–Mar 31: 08:30-18:00 (last ticket: 17:30) Admission Fee: ¥30 Why go? The Drum Tower is not just epic on the outside, but climbing up gets you sweeping panoramic views of Xi’an that totally wowed me. The way the city lights sparkle at night makes it even more magical (sunset or after-dark visits highly recommended for next-level pics 📸). The place isn’t overly crowded if you go later in the day, letting you chill and take in the vibes. Getting Around: The Drum Tower is right in the city center — super easy to walk to from the Muslim Quarter or take a quick metro/taxi from almost anywhere in Xi’an. Eat & Drink: After your tower tour, hit up the Muslim Quarter nearby for must-try local eats like roujiamo (Chinese burger) and fresh pomegranate juice. Pro Tip: Bring a light jacket after sunset; it gets breezy on top, but you’ll want to stay for those killer views! #XianDrumTower #XiAnTrip #ChinaTravel #TravelGuide #TripDotCom

Just hopped from Kuala Lumpur to the ancient vibes of Xi’an 🇨🇳, caught a quick layover in Xianyang. Here’s my quick-hit list of historical icons, culture bombs, and local hacks to maximize your trip! Must-See Places: 1. Xi’an Drum Tower (No. 74, North Courtyard, Lianhu District) – Open late, tickets end at 21:00. The views and traditional drum shows are a blast! Pro tip: Visit around sunset for epic photos. 2. Bell Tower and Drum Tower Square (No. 1 West Street, Beiyuanmen) – The heartbeat of Xi’an, especially lively in the evening. Don’t miss the night lights! 3. Terra-Cotta Warriors No. 1 Pit (Lintong District, east of Qin Shihuang Mausoleum) – Go early to dodge the crowds, and stretch those legs—the pit is big. 4. Xi’an City Wall Ride – Cycle along ancient ramparts (08:00-20:00), great city views. Rent your bike near the South Gate. 5. Dayan Pagoda North Square – Chill spot for people-watching and local snacks. Evening fountain shows are a must! 6. Xi’an Muslim Quarter – Foodie haven. Try biangbiang noodles and roujiamo (Chinese burger). It’s super walkable from Drum Tower. Travel Tips: Get around Xi’an using local buses or DiDi for quick hops—bikes rock for the city wall! At Amsterdam’s Museumplein, use the trams. If overnight in Xianyang, JI Hotel at the airport is comfy (perfect for early flights). Foodie Gold: Xi’an’s Muslim Quarter is THE spot for cheap, tasty eats; Amsterdam’s stroopwafels are a must-grab at local cafes. Key Notes: Bring cash for smaller shops, check attraction opening times (they vary by season!), and dress in layers—Xi’an’s weather shifts fast. #XiAnBucketList #AmsterdamMuseums #ChinaFoodie #TravelTips #tripdotcom
