One of the Eight Wonders of the World, the sheer size of the Qin Army was truly breathtaking! Buying a ticket and entering the park with your ID card was very convenient. The downside was the long walk from the Terracotta Warriors to the Lishan Park, with no written instructions and a hard-to-find stop. Without a guide, you'd miss seeing the national treasure, the bronze chariot. This needs improvement.
The local tour guides focused on showing us the pits and buying jade, but were incredibly dismissive of the Lishan Garden. Such a magnificent historical site, they said, was just a pile of dirt, far less important than the "Xi'an Eternal Love" performance! We decided to stay away! The Terracotta Warriors and Horses pits are magnificent, but not worth lingering in. The exhibition halls are decent. The entrance fee includes the Lishan Garden, but most tourists, persuaded by the guide, didn't go, which made our visit much easier. The Qin bronze chariot exhibit was fantastic, showcasing the exceptional metallurgy, mechanics, and craftsmanship of this national treasure. The mausoleum is lush with cypress trees, the tranquility of Mount Li, and the mysterious underground palace of the First Emperor hidden beneath. The Qin Mausoleum Museum is truly worth it!

It's good, but very tiring and useless. The scenery is average, and I can only say that it feels like history. There is a coffee shop nearby that is very expensive, with Starbucks prices and Luckin coffee taste. I'll just check in, that's it.
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!

Huashan: Up from the ground and on the Luohe Plain, known as the "first mountain in the world" reputation. Its mountain is majestic, the peaks are protruding, and the four walls are steep, like a knife and ax, the long-air plank road, the dumplings turn over and other dangerous roads are amazing, and you can't stop. The five main peaks are magnificent and fascinating.
The beautiful hostess was very nice, and the room was large and clean. You could see the mountains from the room. The food was delicious, too. Great reviews. I even asked the hostess for a steamed bun and used it to climb Mount Huashan. Hahahaha.

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!

You absolutely must visit Hukou Waterfall in Shanxi.
It was truly breathtaking!
It was truly spectacular!
We were incredibly lucky. The waterfall wasn't open on the day we arrived, but it opened early the next morning. The water was flowing abundantly, and there was even a rainbow!
It's like the Yellow River, flowing from heaven to the sea, never to return!
There were also many people riding donkeys for photos (prices are negotiable).
It's not very large, but I still think the view is spectacular. It's worth it!
After getting off the bus, you can push a stroller a little further, so it's fine. Just avoid pushing it near the waterfall; the splashing water can be muddy.
There's no shade at all, so be sure to use sunscreen, and an umbrella is a good option!
Hukou Waterfall, a nationally renowned scenic spot, is well worth a visit. However, the scenic area isn't very large, and the fact that they have a shuttle bus that travels about 2 kilometers is a bit of a shame, purely for the sake of charging a fee. An hour or two of leisurely viewing and photographing such a small area is more than enough. The combined entrance fee of 110 yuan for the shuttle bus seems excessively high. The mist around the waterfall is so strong that getting wet leaves your hair and body covered in mud, and your feet are also very slippery. Wearing a raincoat and easily washable shoes is recommended.

Sadly they only accept Chinese student IDs. Foreigners have to pay full price
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.

If the weather is nice, you can visit during the day. Like a large park, each attraction has performances scheduled at certain times. The evening boat show is a must-see; the scenery, layout, and performance are all worth the wait.
I can't upload pictures, so I'll just share some random ones from my trip.
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.

I stayed in Linfen and the navigation was wrong. I came to Hukou Waterfall on the Shaanxi side and felt a little dizzy. The scenic area is good overall. The car was parked at the visitor center and the bus was taken to the waterfall. The Shaanxi side is basically parallel to the waterfall and slightly downward.
Hukou Waterfall on the Yellow River is a Chinese wonder worth a once-in-a-lifetime visit. It's recommended to view it from either Shaanxi or Shanxi Province. From the Shaanxi side, traditional buildings are dotted with scattered red flags. Shaanxi offers magnificent views of Hukou, with its cascading rock formations along the shore. Stand by the river and marvel at the cascading, geometric structure of the waterfall.
Ke Zhenliang leaped over Hukou Waterfall on the Yellow River, watched by millions. A sculpture commemorates his impossible feat.

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.
