All of China came, and we queued for half an hour in 41°C heat. But it was worth it, after all, it's a national treasure. It was shocking. A Zheng is a ruthless person, but also a genius!
This year, Pit 1 has air conditioning, which was perfect for the weather. Going there during the afternoon, off-peak, meant there were fewer people. You can see the full extent of each terracotta warrior, but listening to the guided tours is essential to truly understand this period of history. The wisdom and skill of the ancients are truly remarkable, and I can't help but admire the greatness of the Chinese nation.

We arrived at the city wall at 5 o'clock because we were afraid of queuing. We wanted to see the scenery of the city wall in the sunset, but Xi'an was still very hot at 5 o'clock. The sun was really awesome. We checked in and took photos at Yongning Gate and told the kids about the moat, the drawbridge, the arrow tower, and the main building. We found the check-in spot behind the main building where you can see the bell tower. We took photos with the kids, drank a smoothie and ate some cultural and creative ice cream in the sun, and instantly felt alive. 😁 We took the kids to walk around the city wall for a while to feel the width of the city wall and the slope of the ground, and then returned the same way. When we came out, we could see the queue at the ticket gate. Xi'an is full of history and stories.
I stood at the foot of the Xi'an City Wall, gazing up at this ancient barrier, weathered by the vicissitudes of time. The blue brick walls stretched for miles, their mottled cracks holding thousands of years of stories. Sunlight shone on the battlements, gilding this silent guardian. A gentle breeze carried whispers of history, inviting one to imagine the grand spectacle of the warring armies of yesteryear. This is the memory of Chang'an City, a profound mark left by time.

The performance is worth watching. The live performance is wonderful and the sound effects are very shocking. The part about the Anshi Rebellion is particularly immersive. The Ctrip VIP ticket I bought temporarily allows me to enter in advance and has a rest area with snacks. It is worth the extra few dozen yuan.
The show was really good, but the seating was terrible.
Since I couldn't get a ticket in the center section, I bought seats in the East and West sections, A.
The seats were in the front row, the first row, which is the first row of two rows in front of it.
It was really intense, and when the lights were on from the mountain, they blocked the view, making it difficult to see clearly.
But overall, it was really good. Highly recommended!

The child chose to climb at night, the path he chose, and climbed without a sound. From the initial exhaustion to the excitement of waiting for the sunrise at the summit, the child experienced the philosophy of bitterness before sweetness. Sunrise at Huashan East Peak – the choice of the brave!
The Huashan Cableway goes up and down the loop for eight hours, and you can see the magnificent scenery of the five peaks of Huashan. The second visit to Huashan is still shocking. You can only walk to Canglong Ridge from the north. It takes an hour to walk from the foot of the West Peak to the North Peak Cableway. Our 70-year-old mother walked the whole way, and it was not as scary as the water army said.

The scenic area is large and clean, and the atmosphere is refreshing. The performances were wonderful, and the children had a blast watching them. The tour was very comfortable. The staff were very friendly, and the routes were well-designed. It was so convenient! I will definitely come again next time.
There are three floors each. The entrance to the bell tower may be difficult to find for first-time visitors. The bell tower and drum tower can be visited in an hour. It is recommended to find a guide while visiting.

The scenic spot is excellent, with a strong cultural atmosphere, and the overall cleanliness is acceptable.
It's truly impressive. However, the only thing I wasn't happy with was the bridge. There's a deliberately designed gap in the middle, and I accidentally fell into it. [Fifth Photo]
The Tang Paradise is indeed beautiful, but it costs 130 yuan for a small place, and 39 yuan for a battery car. It's not fair. The attractions in Xi'an are really unambiguous in charging. It's better in Guangzhou, where basically no tickets are required for attractions, or they are very cheap. They are too kind to tourists.

Xi'an, an ancient city with a thousand-year history, was once the stage for Shang Yang to implement reforms, and it also witnessed the moment when the Qin Dynasty declined from prosperity. Its name, like a double-edged sword, symbolizes both prosperity and decline. Chang'an, on the other hand, is a witness to the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties. It welcomes envoys and merchants from all over the world with a more open and inclusive attitude. The prosperity of Chang'an City is not only reflected in the hustle and bustle of the market, but also in the writings of poets. The "Xianyang" described by Li Bai actually refers to Chang'an. This mix of place names just reflects the charm of this city-it is both a political center and a cultural holy land.
Every cultural relic is a "hot search" in history.
After visiting the Shaanxi History Museum, you will become a representative of the history class in seconds.
A museum is half of China's history.
Under the loess of Shaanxi, half of the prosperous Tang Dynasty is buried.
The flying fairies in the Tang Dynasty murals are still dancing.
Is it difficult to make an appointment? But it is definitely worth it!
If you haven't been here, don't say you know Chang'an.
The "top stream" in the museum world, the guides are more exciting than TV dramas.
A thousand years at a glance, the prosperous Chang'an is hidden here.

I highly recommend The Longest Day in Chang'an. The food, drinks, and entertainment options are all pretty good, and the prices aren't expensive. However, you should consider the dress-up shop inside. The prices aren't expensive, but the service is terrible, and they're just a bunch of sloppy stuff. Other than that, everything else is pretty good. The two-day package is definitely a great value! I'll definitely come back next time.
It's warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Every performer and staff member is so warm and welcoming, like Tangren... and they're also very willing to interact with tourists. Plus, the men are incredibly stylish, tall and handsome 😎, and the women are incredibly beautiful and eye-catching! Everyone, come and check it out! It's definitely worth checking out.

Datang Everbright City is centered on the 1500-meter central axis landscape avenue, imitating Tang architecture and nine groups of themed sculptures to reproduce the world's prosperity, after nightfall, the lights are shining, and the glowing lights are shining through the millennium. Interactive performances such as "Miss Do not Tumble" "Shengtang Mi Box" have triggered popularity, and need to occupy a place in advance; "Return to Chang'an" live performances combined with holographic projection to reproduce the bustling silk road. Wearing Hanfu to tour the street adds a sense of immersion, and the food along the street is full of fireworks such as meat sandwiches and cakes. It is recommended to enter the evening to avoid the peak of the crowd. The subway line 3/4 is directly accessible, open 24 hours but the night experience is the best.
Datang Everbright City, as the gold signboard of Xi'an Cultural Tourism, is the first "immersive Tang Culture Theme Block" in the country, and the 2-kilometer-long pedestrian street perfectly restores the bustling city during the Shengtang period. The following are the reasons why Datang Everbright City is worth a visit. Architectural aesthetics Dream back to Shengtang Here the imitation Tang architecture carved beams painting buildings, moths and arches, the night lights are at the beginning, the lighting and the building are perfectly integrated, making people seem to travel back to the great Tang Dynasty. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda stands solemnly, and the surrounding imitation Tang buildings are against each other, forming a beautiful picture. Wonderful performances are dazzling with the rich and varied free performances of Datang Everbright City. "Miss Tumbler" is light, holding a group fan to interact with tourists, as if coming from the painting; In the "Shengtang Mi Box", "Fang Xuanling" "Du Ruxuan" witty words, interesting knowledge questions and answers with tourists, humorous; there are also large-scale performances such as "Silk Road Long Song" "Datang Music Dance", dancers show the style of Shengtang with beautiful dance. Specialties Taste bud feast There are exquisite Tang-style snacks such as brushes and chaise longues, as well as Shaanxi specialty snacks such as oily noodles, meat sandwiches, and cakes. At Tang Food Shop, you can enjoy the food while enjoying the surrounding scenery and feel the strong cultural atmosphere. Cultural Experience Fun In Chang'an 12-hour theme block, you can change into Tang Hanfu, interact with NPC, complete various tasks, and immerse yourself in the life of the Tang Dynasty. In addition, there are projects such as Tang Shi Lantern Maze and Shengtang Fantasy VR Hall, so that you can feel the charm of Datang culture in your fun.

Xi'an is incredibly hot this season, and the Daming Palace, with no shade at all, is even more unbearable. The shuttle bus seems to have stopped running due to the lack of people. I only visited the Danfengmen Museum, where the explanations were relatively simple. Overall, I was a little disappointed.
The visit to the Daming Palace Ruins Park gave us a very intuitive understanding of the Tang Dynasty Daming Palace. Its area is four times the size of the Forbidden City in Beijing. The two museums in the park use the Daming Palace as a link to connect the history of the Tang Dynasty, which is great!
