📍 Da Ci'en Temple/Grand Tang Paradise/Grand Tang Mall
Da Ci'en Temple is most famous for the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, which was built under the supervision of Xuanzang to preserve the scriptures and Buddha statues he brought back. Grand Tang Paradise is mainly a large-scale royal theme park showcasing the culture of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. There are also many performances in the park at different times.
🌈 If time is short, it is recommended to go directly to the Grand Tang Mall to experience the bustling Tang Dynasty night market! After all, the night view here is exciting!
📍 Muslim Street/Spray Gold Bridge
Muslim Street is basically one of the most concentrated tourist food spots, very crowded, and the dining prices on Muslim Street are not cheap, it can be treated as a sight to stroll through.
➡️ As for Spray Gold Bridge, there are fewer people compared to Muslim Street, but it's not exactly off the beaten path anymore. I personally recommend the old alleys next to Spray Gold Bridge, which are very nice to walk through and have an authentic local atmosphere.
📍 Terracotta Army of Emperor Qin Shi Huang
Approved by the United Nations in 1987 to be listed in the 'World Heritage List', it is known as the eighth wonder of the world. This attraction needs no introduction, a pride of the Chinese people. It's very crowded, be careful not to get pushed over.
📍 Huaqing Pool
Huaqing Pool, also known as Li Palace, where Yang Guifei bathed, is a very small pool. 🌈 The evening performance of 'The Song of Everlasting Sorrow' is recommended, with a total of ten acts, lasting 70 minutes. The performance is beautiful, and the prosperity of the Grand Tang Dynasty is worth seeing.
📍 Famen Temple
Founded during the Eastern Han Dynasty, it has a history of over 1900 years. Located in Baoji City, also known as the True Body Pagoda, it became a holy place for Buddhism because it houses the finger bone relics of Sakyamuni Buddha.
Famen Temple visit order: Old Temple > Museum > New Temple
➡️ Inside the Ten-Combined Relic Pagoda, which has an investment of over 5 billion, there is a performance about the past of Famen, which is quite beautiful. Friends who have the money and leisure can go and see it.
📍 Ancient City Wall
On the last day, you can climb the Ming Dynasty Ancient City Wall, which is the largest and most intact ancient city wall existing in China. There are four city gates in total, and the wall is especially magnificent at sunset. Highly recommended!
5.1 No tickets for the holiday reservation, decisively choose Trip.com's Shaanxi Libo private manual explanation service, and finally successfully determine the itinerary on May 4. Teacher Yuan accompanied us three people throughout the whole process. From the door line up, the basic exhibition hall, treasure hall, mural hall more than 5 hours to explain, teacher Yuan is knowledgeable, rich in content, friendly attitude, let us spend a very meaningful day in Shaanxi Libo, thank you!
This one-to-two private talk exceeded my expectations. Mr. Yang Yuqin was knowledgeable and professional, and patiently and meticulously explained, which brought us a vivid trip to Shaanxi Libo. The whole process was very pleasant. The original 4 and a half hours of explanation journey, and it took 5 and a half hours. Harvest is quite rich, if there are friends around to take the baby to Xi'an, I will be very happy to recommend Yang Yuqin teacher's explanation.
Teacher Zhang explained very well! The experience is very good! Thank you Mr. Zhang! Hard work, have the opportunity to come to Shaanxi History Museum to find you again, and go back and recommend it to friends!
To the Shaanxi History Museum, please explain, understand the history and stories of various museum collections, and make the museum's itinerary worthwhile. Especially for children, there will be more experiences outside of books in the face of various cultural relics. Teacher Yuan told very meticulous and professional. Can plan the tour route well to avoid the crowded flow of people. Making the visit process more smooth is the child's deeper understanding of the national treasure relics. It is worth coming again, thank you very much for Mr. Yuan's explanation.
The Shaanxi History Museum is a renowned museum located in Xi'an, China, showcasing the rich history and cultural heritage of the Shaanxi province. It houses a vast collection of artifacts dating back to ancient times, including treasures from the Silk Road, ancient weaponry, pottery, and sculptures. The museum is highly regarded for its comprehensive exhibitions, making it a must-visit for anyone interested in Chinese history and culture.
This is a scenic spot without holidays and peak seasons at the doorstep. I don't remember how many times I have been here, but every time I have never had a good time here, the reason: there are many people. It is difficult to calm down and watch everything presented here in the crowd. Today's Shaanxi Bo is not clear when the new pavilion to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the resistance to the United States and aid to the DPRK was newly installed. The exhibits are rich and dazzling. Fortunately, there is this pavilion, otherwise it will definitely live up to the interest of this morning in the shoulder-to-shoulder. Everything on display here is relics and donations and postwar equipment, which makes me feel very kind because: this is true. Looking down all the way, I saw the most handwritten oaths of volunteer soldiers. It is difficult to imagine that in such a shooting war environment, they let the people of the motherland in the back assured that they will defend the friendship between China and North Korea with life and blood, and the neighboring feelings with clothes and water. Half of them are not broken, do not teach Humadu Yinshan's vow, half are the battlefield return is still the tenderness of the family. The most lovely people, simple feelings. Seventy years of mountains and rivers, so that these soldiers are worthy of the motherland people not forgetting them.
