The place was unbelievable! Really worth the visit and all the history here is very rich.
I took the train from Xi'an Station to Lintong. Getting off at Lintong and using Didi (a ride-hailing app) was very convenient. I had read a lot about the Terracotta Warriors on other websites beforehand, so I didn't hire a guide. I just listened in on the site, and I was quite engrossed. I arrived at noon, and there were still many people, especially foreigners. The persimmon groves along the way were beautiful…

It's incredibly beautiful, especially the Vairocana Buddha. The Longmen Grottoes are vast, with numerous and well-preserved sculptures. The gardens are beautiful, with stunning views at every turn, allowing one to imagine the splendor of Luoyang in its heyday. The scenic area has a well-designed layout, making walking easy and the sightseeing buses convenient.
One of the four major grottoes, I was awestruck by the sight, it was definitely worth the trip! Although there were many people, the temperature was relatively low at night, and when the lights came on, it was truly breathtaking!

The ancient city wall of Xi'an is very well preserved. It is the best-preserved city wall among all cities in China. The top of the city wall is wide and grand, and it is a great place to ride a bicycle.
The Xi'an City Wall is the largest and best-preserved ancient city wall in China. Walking on it, you can almost hear the echoes of history among the mottled blue bricks. When the sun sets, the entire city wall is dyed golden, which is especially magnificent.

Because I was traveling with my parents and was worried about the climb being too tiring, we chose the west-to-west route for this trip to Mount Hua. By the time we left, there were almost no people left on the mountain. The scenery of Mount Hua is breathtaking and it is definitely worth visiting many times!
Everything went very smoothly. Going north and going west was the right choice. The cable car came down at 9:00 AM and the West Mountain cable car came down at 1:30 PM. Except for the trekking pole tip getting stuck in a crevice of the wooden boardwalk and losing it, everything else went smoothly.

The large-scale sound, light and electricity outdoor situational performance tells the story of the prosperous Tang Dynasty and the love story of Yang Guifei. The scene layout is full of technology. The night sky and the moon are displayed very realistically against the backdrop of Mount Li. The actors dance perfectly, and the lingering love is full of love. The fighting on the battlefield and the flames rising into the sky are very immersive, and the scene at that time is truly reproduced. It is very worth watching and it is also the best large-scale performance I have ever seen.
Great show.. with a good lighting.. excellent performance with lots of coordination… highly recommended to watch.. take vip seat B which is great view

I visited Hukou Waterfall at the end of October and had a fantastic experience, especially the Shanxi side, where the scenery was even more spectacular and the area was much larger. The scenic area is very concentrated, and you can see everything in about half an hour to an hour. There weren't many tourists, so I could fully enjoy the beautiful scenery and take photos.
After all, it's the Yellow River, the mother river of China. Even though it was National Day and quite crowded, and it was drizzling that day, and the mighty Yellow River left many mud splatters on my feet, it's still a place everyone should see at least once in their life.

For lazy people, the 4-hour express cable car ride with two sections is a great experience. The only downside is the steep and slightly scary climb to the Golden Summit. The entire route was shrouded in gray, but after rounding a bend, the sky cleared instantly, revealing a beautiful blue sky and Golden Summit. There were convenient food stalls like KFC and "Overlord Tea" on the mountain.
A group of four drove up Laojun Mountain and parked at the Yunjing Cableway parking lot. We entered the visitor center at 12:30 PM. Having purchased our tickets online in advance, we quickly boarded the cableway, making our ascent to the summit and enjoying the stunning scenery. Details are as follows:
Itinerary
- Ascent: First, take the Yunjing Cableway (approximately 10 minutes) directly to Zhongtianmen. Then, transfer to the Fenglin Cableway (approximately 5 minutes) to the entrance of the Ten-Li Painting Screen. Walk through the Fairyland Tunnel and along a section of the Ten-Li Painting Screen (a typical walk of about an hour), enjoying the scenic views along the way. Climb to the Golden Temple. Only bring water and chocolate with you on the mountain. Wear windproof clothing or a down jacket.
- Descent: At 6:15 PM, after taking photos at the Golden Summit, we quickly descended the same way we came. First, take the second-level cableway (Fenglin Cableway), waiting in line for about 20 minutes. Then, take the first-level cableway (Yunjing Cableway), where the line was shorter.

Pingyao Ancient City is definitely worth visiting at least once in your life ❤️ While it shares many similarities with other ancient cities in terms of commerce—expensive restaurants, photo opportunities, bars, guesthouses, etc.—Pingyao Ancient City is a living ancient city. The [County Government Office] is well-preserved and once served as the county government compound; you can witness the financial pioneers at [Rishengchang]; the [Confucian Temple] and [City God Temple] are not only places of worship but also embody the spirit of Shanxi merchants. The Confucian Temple boasts the oldest existing Confucian temple building in China: its Dacheng Hall, built in the Jin Dynasty (1163), is older than the existing buildings of the Confucius Temple in Qufu, making it a true architectural gem with extremely high historical value. It is a complete example of "temple and school in one": it was not only a place to worship Confucius but also the official school (county school) of ancient Pingyao. You can see the complete ancient educational system from the "temple" for worship to the "school" for teaching; such a well-preserved layout is very rare. [Huiwu Martial Arts] comprehensively and systematically showcases the essence of Chinese martial arts. Finally, I highly recommend "Encounter Pingyao".
I looked up Shuanglin Temple online and thought it was worth a visit. It was indeed breathtaking. I've never seen painted sculptures anywhere else, especially the "Number One Weituo in the World," which was incredibly lifelike and imposing.

The ticket price is a bit expensive: 30 yuan per person. However, the bell tower is still worth going up, as there are cultural relics to appreciate. The view is even more beautiful at night when the tower is lit up.
Previously, I had only viewed it from a distance, but this time, climbing the tower gave me a more comprehensive understanding of its history, function, facilities, and architectural structure. Looking around from the top, the entire cityscape unfolded before me—a bustling commercial area with beautiful scenery. It was definitely worthwhile!

Beautiful area, not crowded on a Friday. We went to have our pictures taken for our Hanfu experience around sunset and walked around afterwards to enjoy the night scenery. Lots of people taking pictures around the northeast gate.
I originally hadn’t planed to visit this place but I’m really glad that I did. It was so magical with all the lights and installments. I haven’t visited the show, but saw a part of it from the other side. I will definitely come back again to see the show.
