The day's itinerary was very fulfilling. The scenery of Huaqing Palace was beautiful, the explanation of the Dandelion tour guide was lively and interesting, and the lunch was very delicious and filling. The afternoon's trip to the Terracotta Warriors was tiring but spectacular. It was a very happy trip.
We first visited Lishan Garden and then the Terracotta Warriors. The rain had just ended that day, and the mountain air was cool and slightly misty, which was quite beautiful. You could walk, but since we wanted to spend more time listening to the Terracotta Warriors explanations, we bought tickets for an electric shuttle bus. The shuttle bus picks up and drops off at each exhibition hall, which was very convenient. The shuttle bus from Lishan Garden to the Terracotta Warriors isn't recommended; the line is open-air, crowded, and the service is infrequent. We hired a guide from the Terracotta Warriors Cultural and Tourism Bureau, located at the counter to the left of the entrance to Pit 1. Groups are grouped in groups of 10. The guide was patient and detailed, sharing stories about the archaeological team—a great educational resource. Despite the crowds, the temperature inside the pavilions was manageable. I heard the air conditioning and fans were only installed this year. As the saying goes, arriving early is worse than arriving late. The tour lasted about two hours and was very enjoyable. There's also a 50th Anniversary Memorial Hall, where you can get up close and personal with the Terracotta Warriors and see the differences before and after restoration. It would be great if the road from Lishan Garden to the Terracotta Warriors could be widened or more strictly controlled.

The explanations were thorough and professional, captivating, and the storytelling of the grottoes' millennia-long history and carvings was captivating. The service was patient and meticulous, and the instructor excelled at guiding visitors through an immersive cultural experience, imbuing the static stone carvings with vibrant vitality. It was a truly rewarding cultural experience.
The Longmen Grottoes really shocked me, especially when the lights are on at night. The visitor center is very user-friendly. There is pet care and bag storage. I like the visitor center. Food and drinks are all affordable, unlike many tourist attractions where you can rip people off when buying things.

It is a good place for family outings. The historical accumulation and the interactivity of "riding" on the city wall complement each other. The establishment of the enemy tower and the construction of the enemy tower and their war effectiveness are fascinating. The good wishes of Chang'an, Ding'an and Kuixing Tower are passed down from generation to generation.
After visiting the Forest of Steles, the entrance to Wenchang Gate is right outside. You can buy a ticket directly to the city wall through this gate, and it's issued instantly. You're bound to the gate you bought your ticket for the first time, but you can use a different gate to access the city wall the second time that day by swiping your ID card. It's very convenient. Unfortunately, student tickets don't include this gate, so you had to scan the QR code on site to buy a separate student ticket.

To maximize the scenery of Mount Huashan, we chose a route that ascends from the west and descends from the north, climbing all five peaks. The scenery is breathtaking and breathtaking, a phenomenon that has been praised from ancient times to the present day. We arrived at the entrance before it opened at 6:00 AM and lined up early, but by the time we finished climbing the West and South Peaks, the crowds were already overwhelming. Reservations are required for the Changkong Plank Road and the Yaozi Flying Overpass, but if it's not crowded, you can queue on site. I waited an hour for the Yaozi Flying Overpass. Things are quite expensive on the mountain, so I recommend bringing plenty of water and food. Also, it's important to leave early; after 5:00 PM, you might have to wait in line for over an hour.
The ticket price is a bit expensive. A family of three went up from the west to the north and back to the north for just over 1,000. There are more stairs when going up from the west to the north. Although I didn't think it was that serious at the time, my calves were very sore after a day. There are more stairs when going up from the north to the west.

The large-scale live-action performance of "The Song of Everlasting Sorrow" was truly breathtaking! Set in the authentic setting of the Huaqing Palace, the lighting, water curtains, and stage design created a stunning visual experience. Every scene showcased the meticulous attention to detail and high standards of the theater team. The overall performance is well worth seeing and is a must-see for any Xi'an visitor!
It tells the love story of Yang Guifei and Emperor Minghuang of Tang. The stage effects are excellent, combined with the light show of the mountain, which makes people's eyes shine again and again. It has a stage effect of the fusion of water and fire. The actors have superb dancing skills and are very professional.

The scenery is amazing, you can look at the pictures yourself. The first and second level cable cars are so considerate, very suitable for families like us with elderly and children. The children love the slide down the mountain. The only regret is that it was a bit late when we left, and I forgot to pick up the cultural tourism version of beer. I wanted to bring it back as a souvenir, which is a bit regrettable.
The owner was very welcoming. The room was large, clean, and quiet at night. Transportation was convenient, not far from the subway station. Disposable towels, bath towels, and toilet seat covers were provided. Excellent value for money.

Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River is divided into Shanxi and Shaanxi two scenic spots. It is on the east and west sides of Hukou Waterfall. I went to the scenic spot of Shaanxi three years ago. In May and August this year, I went to the scenic spot on the Shanxi side. Hukou Waterfall is a special waterfall caused by the changes of the Yellow River, more than 400 meters wide of the river, to the Hukou only 30-50 meters wide, and the gap of about 30 meters, forming a waterfall, like a giant pot, the water of the Yellow River, so called the pot mouth. Hukou waterfall is extremely spectacular, rapids, splashing foam forming smoke, and sonic earthquakes for several miles. When I went in May, the Yellow River water was clear, and the water in August was yellow. The "clear waterfall" and "yellow waterfall" were different due to the time to watch, and there was a completely different. Of course, by the comparison of photos, it can be seen that the water flow of the "clear waterfall" is much less than the "yellow waterfall". Tickets for both scenic spots on both sides of the Straits are 90 yuan, and you have to reach the viewing attractions through Jingjiao Car. The Jingjiao Car in Shanxi is closer, and the Jingjiao Car in Shaanxi is farther away. Looking at the Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River is to see the waterfall, droplets, and the waterfalls formed by the wide and narrow bands of the Yellow River. The shock brought by the water mist, this shock is given by nature through the Yellow River, it is worth seeing.
There was a bit of a traffic jam entering the scenic area.
My elderly companion, over 60, had to go to the ticket window to buy a ticket for the scenic area shuttle bus. While they could have gotten free admission, there was no link to buy tickets, so they had to queue at the visitor center, which was inconvenient. The restrooms in the scenic area could be improved.
The waterfall is spectacular, and I came here just to witness the awe-inspiring spectacle of the Mother River.
Though the journey was long, it was worth it, taking the train first and then the bus.

Visited during the off-peak season before the Chinese 5/1 holidays so it was fairly empty. In fact, aside from a few scenic spots filled with photographers, the broader park was a bit of a sad ghost town.. perhaps it’s pricey for local standards, but makes for an enjoyable sunset stroll. There is a flagship night show that requires extra tickets/payments, but we only learned about it there.
The entire park is beautifully landscaped, offering stunning views both during the day and at night. Many beautiful women, all wearing stunning makeup, come to take photos, adding to the beauty of the Tang Paradise. Evening performances are available, so be sure to book tickets in advance during peak season. Watching a performance on Chuanshan Mountain is a truly unique experience.
