Jiuzhaigou's beauty completely exceeded my expectations, earning its title as the world's finest waterscape! The morning view of Mirror Lake was the biggest surprise of the trip. Its smooth, mirror-like surface perfectly reflected the blue sky, white clouds, and lush forests, making it difficult to distinguish reality from illusion. Any photo I took was a wallpaper-worthy image.
However, as the temperature rose and a breeze picked up around noon, the reflection of Mirror Lake became less clear, a slight disappointment. However, the other attractions more than made up for this minor shortcoming: Five Flower Lake, a vibrant palette of colors, shimmering in the sunlight; Pearl Beach Waterfall, with its splashing water resembling falling pearls, was breathtakingly dynamic; and Nuorilang Waterfall, with its majestic power, was breathtaking.
The scenic area is well-equipped, with convenient sightseeing buses and plentiful, clean restrooms. Overall, the beauty of Jiuzhaigou's waters is truly unparalleled and absolutely worth a visit!
My ride was at the Moon Bay stop. It was comfortable, punctual, and reliable. The driver contacted everyone individually to ensure they were on board and arrived safely at their destination. He also reminded them of ticket inspection times and backup plans in case they were late. The scenery along the way was beautiful. It rained in Jiuzhaigou the day I went there. When I finished my bus and returned to the high-speed rail station, the sky cleared and was unexpectedly beautiful. I was so reluctant to leave. I woke up to see the snow-capped mountains, even though it was foggy. Everything was so healing. This bus trip to Aba brought a perfect end.

One of the Eight Wonders of the World, it's well worth a visit. Pit 1 offers a preliminary display of the Qin army's battle formations, a magnificent spectacle that is breathtaking, inspiring imagination, and a source of pride. Terracotta warriors and war horses, excavated successively from Pit 2 and Pit 3, are beautifully displayed in the exhibition hall. The lifelike, nearly life-size figures in various combat poses are truly breathtaking. The vivid, colorful military officer and general figures, after over 2,000 years, are particularly captivating.
The 138 yuan package is a great deal, including a pass to the Terracotta Warriors and Lishan Garden, tea/shadow puppetry, and hand-painted/handmade pottery figurines. It doesn't include lunch, performances, or the Lishan Garden minibus. A staff member contacted us a day in advance, and the blue vest location was easy to find. Highly recommended.

Cycling along the city wall, I felt the charm of millennia-old earth and bluestone. I loved the Old City Wall Ruins Exhibition Hall beneath the wall, where I learned a lot and admired the ancient wisdom. The wall itself was completely different than I'd imagined. This city is the perfect blend of modern architecture and classical culture, bar none. I love Chang'an, I love Xi'an. Heaven above, Suzhou and Hangzhou below, neither compares to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
The archways, the old city gates, the clash of modern architecture and turret eaves. The indistinguishable oaths on the city walls and the beauty of the numerous photographic figures in ancient costumes all breathe new life into this most complete and largest city wall in China. Cycling is secondary; listening to its stories amidst the millennia-old earth and bluestone is paramount.

Photos can't capture the shock of the real scene. The girl behind me kept saying "wow". The ticket price is expensive but worth seeing. We still had two or three hours after visiting Huaqing Palace, so we soaked our feet inside and had something to eat. We didn't have to go out and queue up to enter. We went directly to watch the show when it was time.
I had almost forgotten this period of history, but after watching Song of Everlasting Regret, I was deeply moved by Yang Guifei's love and hate. The real scene layout, lighting, music, costumes and actor performances here are all perfect. Personally, I feel that it is a must-see when you come to Xi'an. It is worth the price of admission!

The Huanglong Scenic Area is a fairyland, and the Five-Colored Pool is breathtakingly beautiful! The unique travertine landforms and the interplay of forest and stream create a captivating backdrop. The air is fresh, and the trails are comfortable, making it truly a World Heritage Site. If your health allows, it's well worth a visit.
There will be a slight altitude reaction here. It rained when I came in the morning, and the water I saw along the way was yellow. I was very disappointed and worried that I had come here for nothing. But I didn't expect that when I walked to Wucai, I found that the pool water here was just like the one in the textbook. It was so beautiful. It was really beautiful. When I went down the mountain, there were clouds and mist all the way. I felt that my life would be like a smooth road. I was really happy.

The hotel is conveniently located, making it easy to get around. Next to the hotel is Wangfujing Shopping Plaza and the SKP Hotel. The breakfast was delicious, featuring local Xi'an roujiamo (Chinese roujiamo), cold noodles (cold noodles), sauerkraut noodles, and freshly ground coffee. The hotel also has comprehensive facilities, including a laundry room and gym on the second floor, and a coffee shop and breakfast area in the lobby with freshly ground coffee. Breakfast was plentiful with fresh fruit, and the bedding was very comfortable. The kids loved it, and the hotel is semi-intelligent and controllable. I'll definitely be back next time.
I bought a combined ticket for the Bell Tower and the Drum Tower. They are very close to each other. You can visit the Bell Tower first, then go from the underground to the Drum Tower on Huimin Street. Next to the Drum Tower is the snack street. There are free stamps on both floors. There are a lot of people on the snack street here, and the lights are bright.

The scenery is nice. It imitates the garden and architectural style of the Tang Dynasty. It seems that the investment is not small, so the ticket is also expensive. There is a free musical instrument performance at 11 o'clock. It mainly introduces the ancient Chinese music notation and several musical instruments. The audience is also allowed to participate in the playing of the big drum. It is quite interesting and I learned a little knowledge. It is good.
Aside from the expensive entrance fee, there's nothing wrong with it.
Although it's artificially landscaped, it's clearly been carefully crafted, with a breathtaking view at every step, perfect for photos. Sitting quietly in the courtyard for a day is also a great option. It's great that Xi'an attractions offer free admission to senior citizens.

As an important cultural landmark at the starting point of the ancient Silk Road, the Shaanxi History Museum uses cultural relics to build a corridor of time and space, allowing visitors to touch the pulse of civilization of the Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang dynasties among the blue bricks and gray tiles, and feel the profound accumulation of Chinese culture.
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!

If you are wondering if it's worth it is. I recommended giving it a shot. It was so beautiful, you are like in a real c-drama. I felt amazing. If I have another chance, I will definitely go again. 😍
It's a very photogenic place, but it's not very big. You can finish the tour in a short while, and two hours is enough to watch the show. Generally speaking, you can come and have a look, but don't be too special. For girls, it is recommended that they wear Tang suits and Hanfu when they go shopping.

The Tang Dynasty City That Never Sleeps in Xi'an is truly stunning. Whether it's day or night, there are all kinds of scenery. Walking on the streets of the Tang Dynasty City That Never Sleeps, even your breathing feels like you've traveled back to the Han and Tang Dynasties. Every gap is filled with 5,000 years of cultural elements from China.
Very beautiful, experience the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, it is worth seeing, the price of things sold on the pedestrian street of Datang Everbright City is reasonable. It will not be outrageous like other places with high premiums. Follow the Big Wild Goose Pagoda North Square to the South Square, and then to Datang Everbright City. Great viewing route.
