Small group, only two families of four. The tour guide was very good. She informed me of the precautions a day in advance and waited for us at the entrance of the scenic spot early that day. She was also very patient during the explanation. In short, it was good.
My tour guide was really nice. She provided great service and gave interesting explanations. Even though I was traveling alone, she was attentive throughout the entire trip, just like her own sister. She chatted with me and gave me explanations. The food was delicious, and the tea breaks were great. I didn't feel tired at all during the entire trip. When visiting a museum like this, you still need a guide. I could have fun peacefully, which was great!

The city wall is very spectacular and there are many tourists. The scenery at night is very good. There are many delicious foods near Yongning Gate. It is also close to the Forest of Steles Museum and Shuyuan Gate. It is very convenient for sightseeing.
It is especially worth going. If you don't want to walk but want to ride the entire city wall, there are bicycles for rent in the city. People over 12 and under 65 can ride. A single bicycle costs 45 yuan and a double bicycle costs 90 yuan. It is recommended to rent a single bicycle. There are a total of 8 return points. If you return the bicycle before 21:50, the deposit will be automatically refunded. The scenery of the city wall at night is very beautiful.

The show was wonderful, and there was a rest area for early admission, and snacks were provided, but there were not enough seats because there were so many people, and it was still quite hot sitting outside. It would be better if there were more lounges indoors.
The performance of Song of Everlasting Regret is still worth watching. The stage effects are superb and the actors' makeup is also very rich. It is worth the trip! But the first few rows will experience the feeling of ice and fire, hahaha

I've finally completed my visit to Huashan, one of the Five Great Mountains. I strongly advise against the north-to-west route. I booked a west-to-north route, and even after taking every available cable car, I still felt exhausted. For my middle age, I'm in pretty good physical shape, especially as an amateur soccer player, so climbing isn't too tiring. But the challenge is, even in downtown Xi'an, fitness is essential, and even more so at Huashan. While climbing isn't tiring, my legs and knees are severely strained from the long hours. For the sheer joy of climbing, it's not worth it. On our way back up, many people heading north asked how far it was to the West Peak. I lied to them it would be a quick trip, but it actually took at least a few hours, fearing they'd be too frustrated and give up, missing out on the beauty of Huashan. There are some fixed pits on Huashan that you should avoid. First, there were the photos of the Huashan Sword Contest, which were everywhere, but the photos I took weren't particularly memorable. Everyone was posing in the same poses, with the same backgrounds, and nothing memorable. Second, the photos from the slides. I didn't want to take them for 30 yuan per photo after exiting, but I eventually bargained them down to 5 yuan per photo because the photos weren't very good. Of course, now I think it doesn't really matter whether I ride the slide or not; I thought it was long, but it's actually quite short. In general, if you really want to climb Huashan, you need to get up early, because around 9 a.m., during peak hours, the lines can take hours to get on the cable car. Next time you visit Huashan, I recommend bringing a tent and sleeping bag. Climb as much as you can during the day, stay overnight, and watch the sunrise the next day—that's the perfect way to spend your time there.
Huashan is quite strenuous to climb, but the scenery is beautiful and very challenging. If you need to circle all five peaks, you need to stay on the mountain for a day to watch the sunrise and sunset.

The Xi'an Bell and Drum Tower combo ticket is a steal! Enjoy two attractions for just 50 yuan and experience the ancient charm of this ancient city!
Getting the Bell and Drum Tower combo is a great deal! Save 20 yuan and get a 360-degree view of the magnificent ancient capital of 13 dynasties!
Highly recommended! Visit two landmarks with one ticket and immerse yourself in the splendor of the Tang Dynasty!
Standing tall in the heart of the ancient city, the Xi'an Bell Tower has quietly witnessed the vicissitudes of life for over 600 years. Climbing atop, the red railings and painted buildings, the glazed golden roof, and the soaring eaves on each corner seem to reach for the sky. Gazing from the railing, modern prosperity intersects with the ancient city walls, creating a glimpse of time and space folding here. Though the morning bells and evening drums have faded, its majestic aura as the city's origin and historical landmark remains. More than just a building, it is Xi'an's enduring spiritual landmark, gazing upon the ancient capital's past and future, allowing one to instantly feel the profound pulse of Chang'an. Wherever the bells echo, the feeling of Chang'an permeates.

Visited during the off-peak season before the Chinese 5/1 holidays so it was fairly empty. In fact, aside from a few scenic spots filled with photographers, the broader park was a bit of a sad ghost town.. perhaps it’s pricey for local standards, but makes for an enjoyable sunset stroll. There is a flagship night show that requires extra tickets/payments, but we only learned about it there.
The entire park is beautifully landscaped, offering stunning views both during the day and at night. Many beautiful women, all wearing stunning makeup, come to take photos, adding to the beauty of the Tang Paradise. Evening performances are available, so be sure to book tickets in advance during peak season. Watching a performance on Chuanshan Mountain is a truly unique experience.

The experience of visiting the Shaanxi History Museum was great! Zhang Lixuan's guide explained in particular in detail, and the historical stories behind each cultural relics were martyred. From the meaning of the bronzeware's decoration, to the craft characteristics of Tang Sancai, the explanation is both professional and vivid. Make people instantly cross the millennium Zhang Lixuan tour guide also cleverly combined the poetry dictionary, and combined Shaanxi as the glorious history of the 13th Dynasty as a wonderful picture. The 3-hour explanation is large but not boring. Even the children can hear it fascinated. They really do "let the cultural relics speak", and the heavy history and culture are lively and interesting. It is highly recommended!
Xi'an, an ancient city with a thousand-year history, was once the stage for Shang Yang to implement reforms, and it also witnessed the moment when the Qin Dynasty declined from prosperity. Its name, like a double-edged sword, symbolizes both prosperity and decline. Chang'an, on the other hand, is a witness to the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties. It welcomes envoys and merchants from all over the world with a more open and inclusive attitude. The prosperity of Chang'an City is not only reflected in the hustle and bustle of the market, but also in the writings of poets. The "Xianyang" described by Li Bai actually refers to Chang'an. This mix of place names just reflects the charm of this city-it is both a political center and a cultural holy land.

The cast and crew are very dedicated. There are performances available to watch at almost every time period. The indoor scenery is also very colorful. Many people come here to take photos. If you are hungry, there are small restaurants where you can taste Xi'an cuisine. It is a very good sightseeing experience in the hot summer.

The Daming Palace, a renowned palace from the Tang Dynasty, boasts a magnificent interior rich in imperial style, vividly recreating imperial court life and the political events that unfolded throughout the period. It's especially child-friendly, with frequent and comfortable electric buses stopping at every stop. The guides offer engaging and lively explanations, and there are free Hanfu and polo experiences available. This is a must-see in Xi'an.
The scenic area is large and clean, with a fresh and clean atmosphere. It was fantastic! There were so many check-in spots, the performances were fantastic, and the kids had a blast watching them. The tour was very enjoyable. The staff were very friendly, and the routes were well-organized. It was so convenient! I'll definitely be back next time.
