The experience was very good. The tour guide was very professional and patient. He did not shorten the explanation due to time constraints and was able to cater to the needs of different age groups. The children were very happy and enjoyed themselves.
The Terracotta Army of Qin Shi Huang unfolds like a scroll of history. The lifelike figures, each in a unique pose, seem to tell the story of the Qin Dynasty. Time has not tarnished their majesty, and they stand quietly, witnessing the rise and fall of dynasties and the vicissitudes of China.

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!

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.

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.

[Circular Pushpin] Transportation and Parking: It seems the only accessible road from downtown Enshi is a mountain road; the highway isn't yet complete. Several temporary parking lots are added during peak season, and the scenic area will send buses to take visitors to the visitor center, but they're not easily visible, so be sure to ask carefully!
[Travel Tips] Tour Guide: I think walking through Qixingzhai and Yunlong Ground Crack in one day is quite tiring! So, if you can, stay overnight nearby and spend two days there to avoid the tiring experience! We only walked halfway through Yunlong Ground Crack and then turned back the same way! Although Yunlong Ground Crack states that admission closes at 4:30 PM, we exited at 5:30 PM during peak season and found the entrance staff still letting people in. After all, it's a 50 RMB ticket—it's a steal! I only bought a Qixingzhai ticket and then purchased the ground crack ticket on the spot!
The scenery is truly stunning! I recommend renting an exoskeleton for added convenience. Be sure to go early in the morning, or the lines will be incredibly long. We finished visiting Qixingzhai before noon and headed to the Grand Canyon to see the waterfalls in the afternoon. However, the weather also depends on the weather. When we went, it had just rained the day before, so the waterfalls were particularly beautiful. A dry spell might not be the case. I recommend a full day of leisurely strolling; after all, the scenery is all about the journey.

The Chang'an Twelve Hours themed street has won wide acclaim from tourists for its unique immersive experience, rich cultural activities, food and shopping, innovative cultural and tourism integration, and technological empowerment, becoming a new cultural landmark of Xi'an.
It was great, but we went a little late, so we didn't get to try on the Tang suits and take photos. I'll definitely go back if I get a chance. The show was great. I went hungry, but it was so good that I had to eat a quick meal inside. I insisted on finishing the show before heading out for something special. I have to give a double thumbs up to the staff for their dedication and service. My ticket was for two days, so I didn't go back because I was pressed for time. I'll definitely watch the entire show next time.

Wudang Mountain, located in Danjiangkou, Shiyan City, in northwestern Hubei Province, belongs to the eastern section of the Daba Mountains. Also known as Taihe Mountain and Xianshi Mountain, it was also known in ancient times as "Taiyue," "Xuanyue," and "Dayue." Standing at 1,612 meters above sea level and covering a scenic area of 312 square kilometers, it combines the majesty of Mount Tai, the danger of Mount Hua, the beauty of Mount Emei, the wonders of Mount Huangshan, and the seclusion of Mount Qingcheng.
Wudang Mountain is a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site and a national key scenic spot in China. It is also a renowned Taoist mountain and the birthplace of Wudang Kung Fu, and is known as "an unparalleled scenic spot throughout history and the world's first immortal mountain."
Wudang Mountain is divided into six scenic areas: Golden Summit Scenic Area, Purple Cloud Palace Scenic Area, Nanyan Palace Scenic Area, Taizipo Scenic Area, Five Dragons Palace Scenic Area, and Laoying District Scenic Area.
The location of the attraction was very convenient, and we easily found the entrance. The scenery was breathtaking and truly captivating. We took photos and sampled some delicious local snacks!
The visitor service was also very attentive. The staff were friendly and enthusiastic, answering all our questions and helping us better understand local tourism and culture. We also attended a local cultural performance, which gave me a deeper understanding of the history and traditions of this region.
