It truly lives up to its reputation as one of the most popular tourist attractions in the country. Whether it's morning or afternoon, the queues are always long. Guided tours are definitely necessary. However, it's unlikely you can follow someone else's guide the entire way. So, occasionally tagging along is understandable. Out of respect for the Terracotta Warriors, we strictly adhered to national regulations: climbing, scaling over, and littering are prohibited. As responsible tourists...

Xi'an City Wall: A tangible epic of a thousand years! Climbing the broad walls is like stepping into the glorious Tang Dynasty capital of Chang'an. Whether cycling or strolling, the ancient city's charm intertwines with modern streetscapes between the crenellations, a perfect blend of history and everyday life. At dusk, the setting sun bathes the blue bricks in gold, creating a breathtaking scene. With its excellent management and convenient facilities, it's the perfect place to experience the soul of this ancient city. The most unforgettable part of this trip was the vibrant spirit of Xi'an, protected by these ancient walls.

The entire trip was worthwhile. You'll receive a pick-up time from Ctrip at your hotel the day before; just arrive on time. The return trip also involves meeting at a designated time and place for a shared ride back to the city. There are multiple drop-off points to choose from, saving you a lot of time finding your own subway and transfer points. A tour guide will accompany you throughout the trip, so I highly recommend this option for independent travelers. However, this trip only allowed for a north-to-north journey; there simply wasn't enough time to visit West Peak. The cable car queue takes an hour, making the round trip two hours, so we arrived at the mountain around noon, which was quite physically demanding. Going in the morning would allow you to see more. The tour guide suggested buying a navigation device, travel insurance, and an XR experience walkway on the bus, which was really unnecessary. Please consider this carefully. We didn't purchase any of these items, and we found this very inconvenient, but considering the tour guide's income, we could only understand.

Great and a must see. It wasn’t very easy finding the entrance as the tower access is underground, but it’s a must see when you’re in Xi’An! Be prepared as it does get VERY crowded!

Everyone goes through difficult times: financial hardship, job setbacks, academic pressure, and the anxiety of unrequited love. Those who persevere will find life opens up new possibilities; those who don't will learn to make peace with their circumstances over time. What you overcome becomes experience; what you don't, becomes lessons—both are beneficial. What I want is favoritism, not love. This world is cruelly fair, and I only want to be the exception.

Standing beside the surging waterfall, one can't help but think of the Yellow River Cantata. The surging past and future of the Chinese people are embodied in each roar, which is very moving. The only downside is that the scenic area is a bit small, but this doesn't detract from its overall beauty.

The Hanfu experience was great and the theme block was fun. I would recommend going earlier due to it being a bit quieter activity wise towards the end of the day. Definitely dress up in Hanfu for the full experience.
