Things to do in Yijun

Built against the mountain, the Wang Family Compound is magnificent and exquisitely carved with bricks and wood. It encapsulates a century of Shanxi merchants' history, and the ancient alleyways with their blue bricks showcase the craftsmanship of ancient architecture. It truly lives up to the saying, "After visiting the Wang Family Compound, no other courtyard is worth seeing."

As a historical C-drama fan, visiting The Longest Day in Chang’an Theme Block was exciting! 🏮 The traditional architecture made us feel like we had stepped back into ancient China.However, our booking experience was confusing. We weren’t told that banquet seats needed to be reserved in advance, and without a Chinese mobile number, we struggled. Thankfully, a helpful staff member managed to get us seats, although my sister and I had to sit separately.The included dress-up experience was also disappointing. The makeup was rushed, and we looked far too pale, so we removed it straight after the banquet. We had hoped to walk around in hanfu and fully immerse ourselves in the experience.Overall, we’d love to do it again, but next time, we’d skip the banquet and dress-up package. ❤️

The ticket price is high, the tourism form is single, it is more suitable for free opening

It was pretty good! Although there was a bit of a wait, the presentation started at 3 PM and was quite good. The two-hour explanation was engaging from start to finish. Thankfully, the presenter was excellent. 😁

The main purpose is to commemorate history. The entire scenic area is very large, but now only some rammed earth foundation remains. You can only look at the models and pictures to imagine the past glory.

The scenery is beautiful, but the service is nonexistent, the planning is terrible, and it's very unfriendly to the elderly and children. It's a several-kilometer hike with no turning back. Choose this trip with caution.

Online reviews say locals don't go up this building and it's not worth it. Personally, I think it's worth a visit. You can see Xi'an's central axis and get a distant view of the Drum Tower from the Bell Tower. It's not exceptionally beautiful, but it's alright. As for the exhibits inside, I felt they were just so-so. Most of the content has little to do with the Bell and Drum Towers, and I don't know why they're displayed there. Perhaps because there's not much to see, we didn't stay long; we just walked around, took some photos, and came down.

I hadn't originally planned to visit the Stork Tower, as it's a reconstruction completed in 2002. However, I came across a travelogue about climbing it, and perhaps the focus for modern people isn't so much on whether it's an ancient building, but rather on Wang Zhihuan's famous line, "To see a thousand miles further, climb one more story." When you reach the top and gaze into the distance—the Yellow River, the Zhongtiao Mountains, the blue sky and white clouds overhead, the wind blowing from Fengling Ferry—don't we feel the same sentiment as Wang Zhihuan back then? Sometimes, even a simple visit can lead to unexpected experiences. The scenic area has set up signature boards for each province, autonomous region, municipality, and region. Surprisingly, this tourist experience made the friendship between Qin and Jin (Shaanxi and Shaanxi) more tangible. The board for Shaanxi Province has already been replaced twice, as it's become too densely packed with signatures from friends from neighboring Shaanxi. The scenic area simply put up a sign at the very front of the signature corridor that reads "Qin People Gather!" It looks like it'll be full soon too.

Teacher Tangtang's teaching is really excellent! 🤩🤩 I learned a lot from her throughout the course. She reminded me of my high school Chinese teacher, someone incredibly knowledgeable! ✌︎' ֊'🥳🥳🥳 In short, I really enjoyed it! 🥰🥰🥰
