#travelinginchina Xi'an is a city that perfectly blends ancient charm with symmetrical aesthetics. Here are some spots that show this charm: 1. Bell Tower: Standing at the heart of the city, its square shape and four - faced design are a wonder of symmetry. The surrounding roads radiate out symmetrically, creating a harmonious urban layout. 2. Yongning Gate: The main south gate of Xi'an City Wall. The gate tower and the wall's structure on both sides are symmetrically arranged, giving a sense of solemnity and order. 3. Big Wild Goose Pagoda: Its seven - story structure has a strict symmetrical design. The square base and the evenly - spaced eaves on each floor make it a prime example of ancient Chinese symmetrical architecture. These places not only reflect the scientific and aesthetic concepts of ancient people but also allow modern visitors to feel the unique charm of Chang'an's symmetrical aesthetics. #travel #trip #localguides #familytrip #historicallandmarks

[Rainbow] Scenic spot features: Yongning Gate of Xi'an City Wall, also known as the South Gate by locals, is a must-visit place for tourists to Xi'an. This place has been a place for receiving important guests since ancient times. When you come to Xi'an, you can climb the city wall from Yongning Gate. The opening ceremony outside the city gate is also worth seeing. 🌟Highlights: During the Spring Festival, it is best to avoid climbing the city wall from Yongning Gate to watch the lantern show. There are a total of six major areas for the lantern show, three on the east and three on the west of Yongning Gate. From Yongning Gate, one side will not be visible or the route will be heavy, so it is recommended to go up from Hanguang Gate and down from Wenchang Gate, or vice versa. This way you can avoid the few people, no queues, and no backtracking. 📝Note tips: There are many good places to take photos around Yongning Gate of the city wall. If you want to take a panoramic photo of the Yongning Gate, there is a good place to take photos. This location is located on the observation deck on the 5th floor of Heshenghui in the southeast corner. Especially in the evening, you can take photos of the night lights on the entire city wall from the observation deck!

1-30 I landed in Xi'an on the afternoon of the second day of the Chinese New Year. I booked an airport pick-up service on Ctrip and was taken directly to the hotel. We chose Xi'an Yirong Hotel, which is very close to Sajin Bridge. After checking in, we went to Sajin Bridge to eat. The cold noodles are different from those in Shanghai. They look spicy but taste delicious. I recommend them [ThumbsUp]. The mutton skewers are cut directly from the lamb legs and roasted. They are delicious [ThumbsUp]. Chang'an Hulu tastes good and looks good. The children like it very much [ThumbsUp]. Eat delicious food at Sajin Bridge. Take three stops at the subway station at the intersection to the Yongningmen city wall (need to transfer). The lights on the city wall are very beautiful. Recommended! There were a lot of people during the Spring Festival, and it was quite tiring to queue up to get in. After climbing up the city wall, we rested for a long time and then started to stroll around. The light show was good, and there were many cultural and creative shops. The city wall was too long, so we only visited part of it and then went down, but it felt enough. I bought some oil tea on the city wall. The girl was very pretty, but I couldn't get used to the taste of the oil tea. It tasted like soaked fried dough twist. I don't recommend it.
