This place is definitely worth visiting. The river is beautiful, the scenery is stunning, and it's great for taking photos. It's also a great place to visit in autumn or winter. The trees become especially beautiful in autumn, and the snow-capped mountains and frost-covered trees are gorgeous in winter.
Jiuzhaigou is so beautiful! Everyone says that after visiting Jiuzhaigou, you won't want to see any other water scenery. I'd add, "After visiting Jiuzhaigou, you won't want to see any other autumn scenery." One last suggestion: the entrance ticket should be valid for two days, as one day is simply not enough to fully appreciate all the beauty of the area. 🤭

The ancient city wall of Xi'an is very well preserved. It is the best-preserved city wall among all cities in China. The top of the city wall is wide and grand, and it is a great place to ride a bicycle.
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 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

The weather forecast predicted light rain before we went to Huanglong, and it started snowing lightly on the way there. It continued to snow lightly for most of the tour, but suddenly the snow intensified when we reached the Welcoming Pool, which was quite a rare sight. Unfortunately, we were almost at the bottom of the mountain. The Huanglong calcified pools weren't as spectacular in late autumn, but they still had a unique beauty, and the water volume was quite abundant. Next time, I'd like to see Huanglong after a snowfall.
This is the main operator selling admission tickets for Huanglong National Park for foreigners but it was unclear what is included in 'the scenic area tickets' description. We bought the tickets thinking that it included the cable car ride. Turned out it didn't. If you're planning to ride up via cable car and walk down (which is highly recommended), purchase the cable car ride at the ticket office first as an add-on before joining the cable car queue, because unless you have a China local mobile number, you cannot purchase the e-ticket via the Wechat mini program QR code. Huanglong NP itself was so beautiful, especially in autumn - do not miss it when you visit JZG area. Remember to take it easy and give yourself 3-4 hours to walk down slowly, as the high altitude can affect you. Although there are oxygen clinic huts in the highest points, do buy some oxygen canister before reaching the park entrance, as the ones sold along the queue are 3X more expensive.

Cleanliness is my top priority when choosing accommodations, and this hotel surprised me in this regard. From the lobby to the hallways and the rooms, everything was spotless, without a speck of dust. The sheets and blankets were not only clean but also perfectly ironed, with a faint, pleasantly sunny scent that made me feel very comfortable. The bathroom was impeccably clean; the sink, shower area, and toilet were all sparkling clean, without any water stains or dirt—the attention to detail was impeccable. The hotel also provided disinfected slippers and towels, a thoughtful touch. Although the price was reasonable, the uncompromising hygiene standards and meticulous approach made it excellent value for money, and I'll definitely stay here 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.

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.

The Shaanxi History Museum in Xi'an is like a living history book. Spanning over 70,000 square meters, its Tang Dynasty-style architecture exudes a majestic grandeur. Upon entering, I was captivated by the bronze Fei Lian statue overhead. Warm yellow light shone on the slate-gray brick walls, casting a gentle veil over history.
The glass cabinets in the exhibition hall resemble time capsules, housing over 370,000 artifacts. When the instructor explained that 18 national treasures were hidden here, my eyes were immediately drawn to the rusted bronze artifacts. A large tripod with Taotie patterns from the Shang and Zhou dynasties stood quietly, as if guarding a secret from thousands of years ago.
The ancient human exhibits astonished me most. Clinging to the glass, I strained to identify the skull fossil of the Lantian Man—this Shaanxi native, 1.15 million years ago, could actually scrape animal skins with stone flakes! A nearby interactive model demonstrated how to make fire by drilling wood together, and the dancing flames reflected on the delighted faces of the children.
As an important cultural landmark at the starting point of the ancient Silk Road, the Shaanxi History Museum uses cultural relics to build a corridor of time and space, allowing visitors to touch the pulse of civilization of the Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang dynasties among the blue bricks and gray tiles, and feel the profound accumulation of Chinese culture.

Designed by Yang Zhijia, the art director of the TV series "The Twelve Hours in Chang'an," and the original art team, The Twelve Hours in Chang'an encompasses three floors and a total of 24,000 square meters of three-dimensional commercial space. The project features a diverse range of "authentic Tang Dynasty" offerings, including Chang'an snacks, themed cultural and creative products, special performances, immersive games, cultural private rooms, and immersive experiences. Infused with the IP of the TV series "The Twelve Hours in Chang'an" and the cultural essence of Tang Dynasty life, The Twelve Hours in Chang'an incorporates themes from the original series, including "Enjoying Chang'an with the Stars and the Moon," "The Beauty of Harmony and Elegance in Chang'an," and "Glorious Flower Petals and Night Banquets in Chang'an." The project creates an authentic Tang Dynasty street life experience space, a Tang-themed interactive entertainment and leisure space for both the elite and the masses, and a cultural banquet experience space themed on feasting and singing. The project also features six immersive experiences, including "Tang Cuisine, Costume-Based Stories, Tang-Style Gatherings, Miniature Chang'an, Scenographic Performances, and a Cultural Feast," allowing citizens and tourists to instantly immerse themselves in the Tang Dynasty through The Twelve Hours in Chang'an and fully experience its charm and style.
Young people will love it, but older people might not be suitable. Even though it was off-season when I went, it was still crowded. You need to arrive half an hour early for the show. Can you get a good seat? I left half an hour later.

The Tang Dynasty Never Sleeping City is not only a tourist attraction but also a carrier of cultural heritage. It regularly hosts cultural activities such as Tang poetry recitals and traditional musical instrument performances, allowing visitors to gain a deeper understanding of the literary and artistic achievements of the Tang Dynasty while enjoying their visit.
The Tang Dynasty Never Sleeping City is truly vast, especially beautiful at night. With all the lights on, it feels like stepping back into the Tang Dynasty. Both sides are lined with antique-style buildings, and the streets are filled with young women dressed in period costumes—perfect for taking photos. There are also many delicious foods to enjoy.

This scenic area is steeped in history and stories. It includes the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, but climbing the pagoda requires an additional fee. It offers great value for money and is a top choice for tourists visiting Xi'an. However, the scenic area only has one entrance and exit, which is not very convenient, and the traffic around the scenic area is somewhat chaotic.
I went to the famous Big Wild Goose Pagoda, which is located at the end of the Tang Dynasty City That Never Sleeps. It is not large in scale, but has a long-standing reputation. It was drizzling and there were not many people. I wandered around alone and felt the Buddhist culture of the Tang Dynasty.
