Highly recommended: Go to Lishan Garden first. The group tour of Lishan Garden is only 10 yuan per person, which is very professional. There are few people in Lishan Garden, but the cultural relics are of high level. After listening to the explanation here, you can go to the Terracotta Warriors without an invitation. Go to the Terracotta Warriors in the afternoon, visit Pits 2 and 3 first, and then go to Pit 1 after 4 o'clock. This is the best experience and it is worth the trip!
We took our mother and brother to visit the Terracotta Warriors. Our guide, Wu, squeezed in among the crowd to get us the best viewing spot. He asked us from time to time if we needed to go to the restroom and helped us get things when needed. He even shared an umbrella with me when it rained. Because my little brother is still in school, Wu explained everything to us very carefully. The original three and a half hour tour was extended to five and a half hours. I am grateful to have met Wu. He also helped us plan the schedule for our subsequent performance. Thank you again.

I was shocked by the wisdom of the ancients. The management of the scenic area could not keep up. There were too many people and no flow control. They had to build such a long road from the service area to the scenic area. I didn’t even get to visit several attractions before I got off work.
The Longmen Grottoes are one of China's four major grottoes, renowned for their grand scale and exquisite carvings. They represent the pinnacle of Buddhist art from the Northern Wei to Song dynasties and are a treasure of World Cultural Heritage. It was truly breathtaking.

Xi'an City Wall is located in the downtown area of Xi'an, Shaanxi Province. It is a city wall expanded on the basis of Sui and Tang Dynasty. The outline is closed rectangular, with a wall height of 12 meters, a top width of 12 to 14 meters, a bottom width of 15 to 18 meters , and a total circumference of 13.74 kilometers. The main body of the existing city wall was built during the Ming and Hongwu years (1370-1378), and was listed as the first batch of key cultural relics protection units in 1961, and is also the only ancient city building on the list.
Once you enter Chang'an, you'll gaze upon a thousand years. Standing atop the city wall, touching the ancient bricks and stones, you feel as if you can touch the veins of history. The wall's architecture and ancillary facilities demonstrate the wisdom and defensive strategies of the ancients. The wall has witnessed the rise and fall of Xi'an, leaving one with a sense of the vicissitudes of history.

In the morning, I took the cable car northward, the steep stone steps and the towering mountain. I was breathless at first, but halfway up, the clouds gradually parted, revealing the sculpted rocks and upside-down pines and cypresses, a truly breathtaking sight.
Descending from the West Peak cable car, I gazed down at the mountains from above, seeing peaks stacked one upon another and deep valleys, a feeling of soaring through the air. Sunlight pierced the clouds, casting golden streaks, and the mountain colors shifted from green to ochre, flickering in and out. Visitors pointed and exclaimed, their cameras clicking non-stop.
Although the day was short, the splendor and beauty of the climb were deeply etched in my mind. Going north and descending west, I managed my time well, experiencing both the arduous climb and the exhilarating soaring air. The breathtaking scenery was truly unforgettable.
Huashan is often crowded on weekdays. Its rugged terrain and breathtaking scenery are undeniably breathtaking. It's divided into West Peak, South Peak, North Peak, East Peak, and Center Peak. The mountain is rich in resources and the air is fresh. It can be a bit chilly at the summit, so bring a jacket. The weather can be unpredictable, with alternating rain and sunshine, so bring a raincoat. The cable car ride is thrilling and the scenery is beautiful.

I have watched the performances of The Longest Day in Chang'an, The Resurrection of the Legion, and The Song of Everlasting Regret. The one with the highest artistry and the best stage lighting is The Song of Everlasting Regret. You must go to see it when you go to Xi'an. Of course, you must book tickets in advance. There are no discounted tickets from other channels.
It definitely exceeded our expectations! From the lighting effects to the actors' costumes, they all incorporated high-tech elements. The actors' dancing skills were also amazing, which made us audiences gasp in amazement! It was amazing!

Driving to the Hukou Waterfall on the Yellow River was truly spectacular, allowing me to experience the roar of a galloping horse up close. Personally, I found the Shanxi section even more spectacular, with a more surging, turbulent flow. The only problem was that the nearby charging stations were a bit hard to find.
The experience of visiting Hukou Waterfall during its peak season (July-August) is known for its magnificent visual impact and stunning auditory experience, and is a perfect combination of Yellow River culture and natural wonders.

We went there in the morning and it was a bit rainy. We couldn't see anything about the Ten Mile Painting Screen. It was all foggy, ten miles of fog... The sun came out when we got down the mountain. The entrance fee was 100, the first cable car was 130, the second cable car was 75 more, and the parking fee was 10. The total cost for one trip was at least 315. It was too expensive and the value for money was too low.
Laojun Mountain has beautiful scenery, but it's quite high, so I recommend taking the first-level cable car. Otherwise, the climb to the middle of the mountain takes four to five hours, and there's no scenery along the way! There are many steps between the first and second-level cable cars, so it's not recommended for the elderly or young children, as it's physically demanding. However, the scenery along the way is quite good! The section from the Ten-Li Painting Screen to the Golden Summit is a must-see. However, our hike was foggy and rainy, so it was a bit disappointing to enjoy the distant scenery. I'll definitely come back again!

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.
It is very convenient to get to the bell tower. There are not many people. You can go directly from the subway station gate and buy tickets on site. The night view is very beautiful. It was still very cool at night when I went. Standing upstairs, blowing the wind, looking at the bustling streets, staying quietly, it was very comfortable

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.
