Xi'an | A brief introduction to the one-story ancient capital of thirteen dynasties

Middle-aged and elderly people can only deal with one point of interest a day, which is already very tiring. There are so many ancient monuments in Xi'an that are so famous that I won't introduce them in detail. I will focus on the points that you may have missed. I hope it will be helpful to you.

Key points that you may already know:

Bell and Drum Tower

The Bell Tower is in the center of the ancient city of Xi'an, now located in the middle of the intersection. The Drum Tower is to the west of the Bell Tower. You can visit it upstairs. Here’s the point, there are millions of middle-aged and elderly people who like to sleep in! Never live near a clock tower. Although it’s easy to get in and out, the bell tower really does ring the bells! The bells start ringing at eight o'clock in the morning and will ring every hour! Collapsed!

Sajin Bridge

Everyone knows about Muslim Street, but I think there are more delicious places in Sajinqiao. The very delicious "Southeast Asian Zeng Cake". I don't know why it is called Southeast Asia Zeng Cake. In short, this jujube paste glutinous rice cake is not ordinary delicious. Sajinqiao is still very lively at ten o'clock in the evening, and the beef wontons are super delicious.

The city that never sleeps in the Tang Dynasty

No tickets are required. It’s nice to go shopping at night. The queue for Douyin celebrity Tumbler is about one kilometer long, which is very exaggerated. However, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is not open at night, so the steles written by Chu Suiliang inside cannot be seen.

SEG

This shopping mall has a very long escalator that goes from the first floor to the sixth floor. There is also a somewhat funny waterfall in the middle of the mall.

Bell Tower Starbucks Reserve

The irregular polyhedral Starbucks is right next to the clock tower. The light and shadow in the sun are particularly beautiful.

South Street Starbucks Reserve

There are few people and it is quiet. There is a large "Xi'an" background staircase, which is a check-in spot for Internet celebrities.

Morii retro space

On the underground floor, there are retro barber shops, cafes, and bars, which are very effective for taking photos.

Yongning Gate Tower

If you want to climb the city wall, you can climb the South Gate, also called Yongning Gate. The south gate plus Zhuque Gate and Hanguang Gate in the west and Wenchang Gate in the east are the essence.

Terracotta Warriors and Horses

Not much to say, the official commentator is very good. In fact, what I want to go to is the fake terracotta warriors and horses, the eighth wonder of the world. However, it seems to have been renovated now. I walked on the street for a long time and no one took me there.

Camel Bell Legend

I wanted to see Song of Everlasting Regret, which was very well-received, but after November, Song of Everlasting Regret was closed for the winter. I was tricked by a travel agency into watching the Legend of the Camel Bell. All seating areas in the theater can be rotated, and the 360-degree stage is somewhat novel. There are also real wolves. But the show is not good, so I don’t recommend it.

Forest of Steles

Not much to say about the Forest of Steles, but don’t miss the stone carving museum in the Forest of Steles. There are many Buddhist statues and individual statues, as well as many Buddhist and Taoist monuments, which are very interesting. There is no canteen in the Forest of Steles Museum. If you go, you need to bring your own dry food. It is very worthwhile from 9 am to 4 pm.

Shaanxi Libo

Don’t ignore the Treasure Hall unearthed in Hejia Village and the Tang Tomb Mural Hall. Although the tickets for the Mural Hall are more expensive, it is recommended not to miss it. You can bring dry food and water. There is also a cafeteria in the museum, but the milk tea in the cafeteria costs 28 yuan a cup. It will take a full day to see them all, so wear suitable shoes.
