Xi'an Museum, with few people and beautiful scenery, is a journey to the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, which is niche yet profound.

[Opening] Xi'an Museum, an underestimated "Little Shaanxi History Museum"! Compared to the crowded Shaanxi History Museum, this place is quieter, but you can check in the Tang Dynasty Small Wild Goose Pagoda, the thousand-year-old Jianfu Temple and the fine cultural relics exhibition hall at the same time, which is very cost-effective. The courtyard-style design perfectly combines history and garden art. You can enjoy cherry blossoms in spring and ginkgo trees in autumn. Locals love to come here for a walk. Best of all, it’s free! (Secretly tell you: there is a special exhibition of "Treasures of the Silk Road" here, where you can see cute golden monsters from the Tang Dynasty~) 🕘【Opening hours】 ▪️Peak season (March-October): 9:00-18:00 (admission stops at 17:00) ▪️Off-season (November-February): 9:00-17:30 (admission stops at 16:30) ⚠️Closed on Tuesdays (except statutory holidays) ✨Recommended play: 2-3 hours (few people in the morning, the light and shadow in the afternoon is suitable for taking pictures) 💴【Ticket Price】 ✅ Free! free! free! (Important things should be said three times) ▪️You need to make an appointment in advance on the official website/public account of "Xi'an Museum" and enter the park by swiping your ID card ▪️Special exhibitions occasionally charge a fee (the recent "Gilded Bronze Silkworm" special exhibition is 30 yuan, and admission is voluntary) ⛺【Amusement Activities】 1️⃣ **Small Wild Goose Pagoda Area** (Must see!) ▪️The Tang Dynasty dense-eaves brick tower is more original than the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. The cracks in the tower are the "living history" of the Ming Dynasty earthquake. ▪️Jianfu Temple Ancient Bell Courtyard: There is an antique bell-ringing ceremony at 10:00/15:00 every day, and the sound can be heard for three kilometers! 2️⃣ **Main Museum** (Highlights on the third floor) ▪️B1F: Immersive "Chang'an City Sand Table" + interactive projection, travel through the prosperous Tang Dynasty in one second ▪️Second floor: The treasure of the museum, "Tang Sancai Flying Horse" (more agile than the manned camel in Shaanxi History Museum) ▪️Third floor: irregular special exhibitions (Silk Road gold and silver wares recently) 3️⃣ **Garden Area** (Hidden Gameplay) ▪️"Silk Road Garden" in the southwest corner: a replica of a Persian-style pool, perfect for taking photos in Hanfu ▪️Ancient trees: 1,300-year-old locust tree "Grandpa Tree" is hung with red silk for blessing 🚌【Transportation Guide】 ▪️Subway: Line 5/Line 2 [Nanshaomen Station] Exit F, walk 8 minutes to ▪️Bus: Take bus No. 7/18 to [Small Wild Goose Pagoda Station] and get off 🚗Self-driving: Navigate to "Xi'an Museum North Gate Parking Lot", 5 yuan/hour (parking spaces are tight) 👉【Itinerary】 🔸 **Half-day tour route**: Xi'an Museum → Small Wild Goose Pagoda → Anrenfang Ruins Exhibition Hall (newly popular Tang-style museum) 🔸 **One-day tour combination**: Museum→Yongning Gate of the City Wall→Shuyuanmen Cultural Street (accessible by foot or bicycle) 🏨Accommodation recommendation: ▪️Value for money: B&Bs near the South Gate (such as "Yixi Designer B&B", 15 minutes walk) ▪️High-end: Grand Hyatt Hotel next to SKP (10 minutes by taxi) 🧡【Preparation before departure】 ▪️Must bring: ID card! Sun protection hat (there is little shade in the garden area), stamp book (there are 6 free stamps at the service desk on the first floor) ▪️Band: Hanfu (many ancient-style camera positions in the courtyard), telephoto lens (to take pictures of the details of the Small Wild Goose Pagoda) ▪️Lightning avoidance: The automatic guide in the hospital is relatively old, it is recommended to use the free audio guide on the official account 💡Cold knowledge: The "Chang'an City Model" in the museum has a secret - find the location of the "Daming Palace" and next time you go there to compare it, you will find that the proportions are perfectly restored!
