I took the train from Xi'an Station to Lintong. Getting off at Lintong and using Didi (a ride-hailing app) was very convenient. I had read a lot about the Terracotta Warriors on other websites beforehand, so I didn't hire a guide. I just listened in on the site, and I was quite engrossed. I arrived at noon, and there were still many people, especially foreigners. The persimmon groves along the way were beautiful…
This place is a must visit in Xi'an. We went to the Terracotta Warriors first. For first timers: just line up and let them scan your passport and you can walk through. You can also buy a shuttle bus ticket for 5 Yuan to drive up to the mausoleum site. There's a ticket office on the left side and you can buy it with WeChat. After that, just walk to the busses. For the pick-up after the visit, you can walk from the exit to 'Shede Xianglazhi Chinese Hamburger'. The red ticket house will be on the same side right in front of the Hamburger Store! (Just follow the red pin point). The shuttle bus will take you directly from there to Huaqing Palace. Before entering the Palace, you need to present the trip.com ticket to the ticket office there and they will give you a paper ticket. All in all, it was a full-day tour and so beautiful. During off-season there are no waiting lines at all!

The Xi'an City Wall is the largest and best-preserved ancient city wall in China. Walking on it, you can almost hear the echoes of history among the mottled blue bricks. When the sun sets, the entire city wall is dyed golden, which is especially magnificent.
The city wall is quite long, over 13 kilometers in total, but I definitely couldn't walk the whole way. I wanted to take a sightseeing bus, but they only had single or tandem bicycles, and I couldn't take my mom with me, so I could only walk a section before coming down.

Everything went very smoothly. Going north and going west was the right choice. The cable car came down at 9:00 AM and the West Mountain cable car came down at 1:30 PM. Except for the trekking pole tip getting stuck in a crevice of the wooden boardwalk and losing it, everything else went smoothly.
Mount Hua isn't the highest of the Five Sacred Mountains, but it's arguably the most precipitous. There's only one path up Mount Hua since ancient times, and the Thousand-Foot Cliff, Hundred-Foot Gorge, Azure Dragon Ridge, and Cloud Ladder are quite challenging. As someone with a fear of heights, I didn't dare try the Plank Road in the Sky or the Hawk's Turn.
Route: The classic "Northward Hiking + Westward Cable Car." The hike up the North Peak offers a sense of danger, while the West Peak cable car offers a beautiful view. The route is: Yuquan Temple → North Peak → Central Peak → East Peak → South Peak → West Peak. The section from Yuquan Temple to the North Peak is the most difficult, especially the Thousand-Foot Cliff and Hundred-Foot Gorge, which are steep and narrow, taking two and a half hours. The section from the North Peak to the Central Peak is the next most difficult, taking a little over an hour. The remaining East, South, and West Peaks are relatively easier.
Clothing: "Quick-drying underwear + windproof jacket and sweatpants + sneakers + sunglasses + hat" is sufficient. The weather has been particularly good these past few days; although it's windy at the summit, it's not cold.
Supplies: Don't bring too much food. Some beef jerky, chocolate, and sausages are enough; you won't have much of an appetite after climbing. Water is very important. I drank one bottle of water and four bottles of energy drinks throughout the trip. I brought three bottles with me. When I was close to the North Peak, I bought a bottle of Gatorade for 15 yuan (the shopkeeper said the price would go up after the North Peak). When I was close to the South Peak, I bought a bottle of Scream for 17 yuan (the price had gone up by 2 yuan, which was acceptable). There are many supply points along the way, so just travel as light as possible.

The large-scale sound, light and electricity outdoor situational performance tells the story of the prosperous Tang Dynasty and the love story of Yang Guifei. The scene layout is full of technology. The night sky and the moon are displayed very realistically against the backdrop of Mount Li. The actors dance perfectly, and the lingering love is full of love. The fighting on the battlefield and the flames rising into the sky are very immersive, and the scene at that time is truly reproduced. It is very worth watching and it is also the best large-scale performance I have ever seen.
Great show.. with a good lighting.. excellent performance with lots of coordination… highly recommended to watch.. take vip seat B which is great view

So spectacular!!!
At the end of October, the water level is high, the weather is pleasant, and the sun is shining brightly, so you can even see a double rainbow 🌈! It's even more spectacular in Shanxi; I recommend wearing shoe covers and a raincoat to avoid getting covered in mud!
The Yellow River, the mother river of the Chinese nation, is breathtaking and magnificent. Steam rises from the water, thunder rumbles in the valleys, and dragons play in the waves. The Yellow River flows from the high mountains to the sea, from ancient times to today, but its soul remains only at Hukou.

Overall, the ancient town is quite nice, with a classic and antique charm. It's generally well-preserved, but the commercial atmosphere is too strong, and the planning needs improvement. It's a bit chaotic and noisy, and there's much room for improvement. In general, there are many things to see, and I recommend taking a guided tour.
The ancient city is particularly simple and primitive, without too much commercial atmosphere. The interior space is large and it is worth a day to slowly appreciate it. The consumption inside the ancient city is very good. The overall feeling is great and it is worth coming again!

The ticket price is a bit expensive: 30 yuan per person. However, the bell tower is still worth going up, as there are cultural relics to appreciate. The view is even more beautiful at night when the tower is lit up.
Previously, I had only viewed it from a distance, but this time, climbing the tower gave me a more comprehensive understanding of its history, function, facilities, and architectural structure. Looking around from the top, the entire cityscape unfolded before me—a bustling commercial area with beautiful scenery. It was definitely worthwhile!

Beautiful area, not crowded on a Friday. We went to have our pictures taken for our Hanfu experience around sunset and walked around afterwards to enjoy the night scenery. Lots of people taking pictures around the northeast gate.
I originally hadn’t planed to visit this place but I’m really glad that I did. It was so magical with all the lights and installments. I haven’t visited the show, but saw a part of it from the other side. I will definitely come back again to see the show.

It's very convenient to use; just scan the code to enter the attraction. We encountered construction and had to climb a mountain path, which added to the scenic atmosphere! The hanging sculptures inside the hall are magnificent and awe-inspiring; I'm amazed by the wisdom of our ancestors! A truly worthwhile trip!
The scenery is beautiful and the climate is pleasant. The suspended sculptures in the Mahavira Hall are stunning. Even after hundreds of years, the colors are still vibrant. The Buddha statues are diverse in form and style, combining Chinese and Western elements, which perfectly showcases the wisdom and exquisite craftsmanship of the Chinese people!

Anyone buying Ctrip tickets should take note: you need to take two screenshots here. There are two QR codes in total: one for the scenic spot entrance ticket and one for the scenic spot transportation ticket. First, scan the transportation ticket at the Shaanxi side of Hukou Waterfall, take the bus to the scenic spot entrance, and then scan the ticket to enter the scenic spot! Remember! Be sure to take two screenshots! The ticket purchasing and usage process is very reliable and convenient!
We've been to northern Shaanxi! I think it's a great place! The water at the Hukou Waterfall on the Yellow River is so turbulent! It's like a thousand horses galloping! It's so impressive! It was worth the trip! My whole family is very happy! I highly recommend it!
