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.

Huashan is well worth a visit. Transportation is now convenient. The Xi'an high-speed rail takes 28 minutes to Huashan North. A taxi takes you to the Huashan base, and the scenic shuttle bus takes 40 minutes. For those who are more energetic, you can take the ascending cable car for 30 yuan per person, which takes you directly to the West Peak. The cable car takes you up to the West Peak, which takes 20 minutes. The summit of West Peak is just a short distance away. From West Peak to South Peak, it takes about 30 minutes. The cable car takes you down the mountain from South Peak to Filial Piety Peak, East Peak, and West Peak in about an hour. The scenic shuttle bus takes you down the mountain in 40 minutes. The Huashan day trip departs Xi'an North at 7:52 and arrives in Xi'an around 18:30. It was a pleasant day with clear weather and we enjoyed the most beautiful scenery of Huashan.
Visiting Mount Huashan is truly an unforgettable experience. Starting from the foot of the mountain, every step brings a sense of the wonder and wonder of nature. The magnificent scenery and fresh air are a truly spiritual cleansing experience. While the climb is arduous, the feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction when you finally stand at the summit and gaze out over your surroundings is truly indescribable. I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys the outdoors and natural beauty; it's definitely a trip worth trying!

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 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!

Hukou Waterfall on the Yellow River is a Chinese wonder worth a once-in-a-lifetime visit. It's recommended to view it from either Shaanxi or Shanxi Province. From the Shaanxi side, traditional buildings are dotted with scattered red flags. Shaanxi offers magnificent views of Hukou, with its cascading rock formations along the shore. Stand by the river and marvel at the cascading, geometric structure of the waterfall.
Ke Zhenliang leaped over Hukou Waterfall on the Yellow River, watched by millions. A sculpture commemorates his impossible feat.
There is no feeling of high mountains and flowing water. The ticket is too expensive and not worth it. You have to take a bus to get in. The bus stop is quite far away. It is a natural scenic spot that is too commercialized.

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.
