Xi’an. Terracotta Army. Old city.

We spent three days as a family in Xi'an! It was enough to see the city and visit the Terracotta Army Museum! The first recommendation is to find a bus that will take you to the Terracotta Army Museum. From the square near the railway station (the station of ordinary trains, not high-speed ones, located next to the city wall), buses no longer run like five years ago. Taxi drivers don't know it either. I had to ride, and one local resident nevertheless wrote to us where to look for bus 306 (I attach the screen). But we no longer began to go there, but ordered a taxi directly to the Terracotta Army. Through the application of a taxi cost 75 baths. We also went back by taxi for 85 yuan, also ordered through the application on the phone. The second recommendation concerns visiting the city wall. Tickets can be purchased via WeChat or paper tickets at the offices next to the wall entrances. Almost no one speaks English, and through an interpreter they themselves often do not understand what they want and need from them. As a result, we took tickets for the whole day for 54 yuan. In the evening there is a light show together with the theater! Beautiful! But we couldn’t get there because at the box office they said that tickets for the wall are valid for the show, but it turned out not to be so. Tickets need to be purchased separately and cost 280 yuan alone. The third recommendation for visiting the Pagoda. Entrance to the territory of the Pagoda is possible only until 17:30. Therefore, they did not enter the territory. And as an amateur to shoot with a camera and a drone, recommendations. In general, flying and shooting from a drone is prohibited, but as the locals said, it is not strictly controlled. Therefore, you can take off from a quiet place near the sights, fly not low, shoot and return. Over the bell tower in the evening drones like mosquitoes))). You can also visit the mountains near Xi'an, but we decided to dedicate a separate trip to this! We loved Xi'an! Beautiful city! Lots of history! Lots of Chinese culture! I definitely recommend visiting this city! #xian #terracottaarmy #shanxi #belltower
