A must-see when in the Sichuan province! Breath-taking lakes all along the way of this huge national park. The ticket includes the internal shuttle buses that bring you from point to point to save on walking. These buses are great as there is one guide for each bus explaining the area, though they only offer explanations in Mandarin. The buses are frequent as well, meaning short waits even for large crowds. Plenty of washrooms along the way, bring your own toilet paper though! There are food options at Nuorilang Tourist Centre, but if you choose to bring instant noodles, there are hot water spots with nearby seating. One day was enough for us to cover the main parts of the park using a mix of walking and taking the shuttle bus. All the walkways are well-paved and steps are shallow, rest stops and benches available along the way. I would also recommend staying at Pengfeng Village for convenient walking access to the park. Go at opening time to beat the long queues!
Jiuzhaigou is a true paradise on earth! "After visiting Jiuzhaigou, you won't want to miss the water." The lake is vibrant and crystal clear, like a dreamlike painting. The scenic area has excellent scheduling, fast ticket processing, convenient sightseeing buses, and clean restrooms. For both the natural scenery and the experience, it's a top-tier 5A scenic spot and is definitely worth a repeat visit.

The Xi'an City Wall is a must-see for immersing yourself in the charm of this ancient capital! Stroll along the bluestone slabs, your fingertips brushing against the mottled tiles, and the weight of over 600 years of history washes over you. Whether watching the sun shine over the battlements in the early morning or enjoying the streetscape from an afternoon bike ride, it's truly a delightful experience. The illuminated city walls at dusk are even more stunning, their warm glow highlighting the wall's majestic silhouette. Paired with the bustling cityscape in the distance, any photo captures the charm of the ancient capital, leaving you filled with surprises!
The Xi'an City Wall is truly worth a visit! Stroll along its 600-year-old walls, feeling the heavy masonry beneath your feet, the ancient battlements beside you, and the breathtaking sight of the Bell Tower juxtaposed against modern buildings in the distance. The blend of ancient and modern is truly breathtaking. Rent a bike and cycle around, the wind whispering through your ears, almost echoing the echoes of history. The evening lights are even more breathtaking, bathing the walls in a warm, yellow glow. Every photo you take is a truly atmospheric experience—a true highlight of any trip to Xi'an!

Photos can't capture the shock of the real scene. The girl behind me kept saying "wow". The ticket price is expensive but worth seeing. We still had two or three hours after visiting Huaqing Palace, so we soaked our feet inside and had something to eat. We didn't have to go out and queue up to enter. We went directly to watch the show when it was time.
I had almost forgotten this period of history, but after watching Song of Everlasting Regret, I was deeply moved by Yang Guifei's love and hate. The real scene layout, lighting, music, costumes and actor performances here are all perfect. Personally, I feel that it is a must-see when you come to Xi'an. It is worth the price of admission!

Huanglong Scenic Area, located in Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, is a breathtaking destination that blends natural wonders with rich cultural heritage. Famous for its unique travertine pools, it's known as the "Fairyland on Earth." The turquoise waters resemble gemstones embedded in the mountains, while the vibrant colors of the pool bottoms create a captivating spectacle of light and shadow. Cascading waterfalls and bizarre travertine formations create a dreamlike scene reminiscent of a fairyland. Huanglong's majestic peaks, shrouded in mist, add a touch of mystery. Each season offers a unique charm: spring brings blooming flowers, summer brings surging waters, autumn brings vibrant colors, and winter is blanketed in snow. This area boasts not only magnificent natural scenery but also a rich cultural heritage of Tibetan and Qiang people. A World Heritage Site, Huanglong attracts numerous tourists and photographers with its unique landscapes and pristine environment. The tranquil lakes, fantastical colors, and towering peaks are all captivating, making it a truly relaxing and captivating destination.
Huanglong truly deserves the nickname "Fairyland on Earth"! Its vibrant calcified pools resemble dreamlike terraced fields, a vibrant riot of color that contrasts beautifully with the snow-capped mountains and forests. The scenic area boasts comprehensive facilities, including wooden plank paths for easy exploration. While the high altitude might cause some altitude sickness, the stunning scenery is absolutely worth the effort.

The hotel is conveniently located, making it easy to get around. Next to the hotel is Wangfujing Shopping Plaza and the SKP Hotel. The breakfast was delicious, featuring local Xi'an roujiamo (Chinese roujiamo), cold noodles (cold noodles), sauerkraut noodles, and freshly ground coffee. The hotel also has comprehensive facilities, including a laundry room and gym on the second floor, and a coffee shop and breakfast area in the lobby with freshly ground coffee. Breakfast was plentiful with fresh fruit, and the bedding was very comfortable. The kids loved it, and the hotel is semi-intelligent and controllable. I'll definitely be back next time.
I bought a combined ticket for the Bell Tower and the Drum Tower. They are very close to each other. You can visit the Bell Tower first, then go from the underground to the Drum Tower on Huimin Street. Next to the Drum Tower is the snack street. There are free stamps on both floors. There are a lot of people on the snack street here, and the lights are bright.

The scenery is nice. It imitates the garden and architectural style of the Tang Dynasty. It seems that the investment is not small, so the ticket is also expensive. There is a free musical instrument performance at 11 o'clock. It mainly introduces the ancient Chinese music notation and several musical instruments. The audience is also allowed to participate in the playing of the big drum. It is quite interesting and I learned a little knowledge. It is good.
Aside from the expensive entrance fee, there's nothing wrong with it.
Although it's artificially landscaped, it's clearly been carefully crafted, with a breathtaking view at every step, perfect for photos. Sitting quietly in the courtyard for a day is also a great option. It's great that Xi'an attractions offer free admission to senior citizens.

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.
The experience of visiting the Shaanxi History Museum was great! Zhang Lixuan's guide explained in particular in detail, and the historical stories behind each cultural relics were martyred. From the meaning of the bronzeware's decoration, to the craft characteristics of Tang Sancai, the explanation is both professional and vivid. Make people instantly cross the millennium Zhang Lixuan tour guide also cleverly combined the poetry dictionary, and combined Shaanxi as the glorious history of the 13th Dynasty as a wonderful picture. The 3-hour explanation is large but not boring. Even the children can hear it fascinated. They really do "let the cultural relics speak", and the heavy history and culture are lively and interesting. It is highly recommended!

If you are wondering if it's worth it is. I recommended giving it a shot. It was so beautiful, you are like in a real c-drama. I felt amazing. If I have another chance, I will definitely go again. 😍
It's a very photogenic place, but it's not very big. You can finish the tour in a short while, and two hours is enough to watch the show. Generally speaking, you can come and have a look, but don't be too special. For girls, it is recommended that they wear Tang suits and Hanfu when they go shopping.

The Tang Dynasty City That Never Sleeps in Xi'an is truly stunning. Whether it's day or night, there are all kinds of scenery. Walking on the streets of the Tang Dynasty City That Never Sleeps, even your breathing feels like you've traveled back to the Han and Tang Dynasties. Every gap is filled with 5,000 years of cultural elements from China.
Very beautiful, experience the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, it is worth seeing, the price of things sold on the pedestrian street of Datang Everbright City is reasonable. It will not be outrageous like other places with high premiums. Follow the Big Wild Goose Pagoda North Square to the South Square, and then to Datang Everbright City. Great viewing route.
