More than 6,000 pottery figurines are arranged in a matrix in Pit 1, which is magnificent. Together with pottery horses and weapons, they form a majestic and strict military formation, which brings great visual impact. Visitors can visit the original display of bronze chariots and horses, and can also observe the archaeological site in Pit 3. If you are lucky, you can meet restoration experts, as if you are in an immersive history classroom.
The Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum is a great place to learn about the history of the Qin Dynasty. The exhibits are rich, the displays are orderly, and the explanations are detailed, allowing people to gain a deep understanding of the culture of ancient China. The museum has an elegant environment, complete facilities, and thoughtful service. After visiting, I had a deeper understanding of the greatness of Qin Shi Huang and the artistic value of the Terracotta Warriors. It is highly recommended for history lovers.

It has a very old and shocking feeling. Climbing up the city wall and watching the sunset, it feels great, as if you are talking to time and the ancients. Walking on the city wall and looking at the cars and modern buildings under the city wall, there is a visual impact that suddenly reminds you of the war horses and engineers in ancient wars, and then you panic and return to reality. It is very interesting and worth going up to see.
Nice, nice, wide, with bicycles for rent, and a beautiful light show. Nice, nice, wide, with bicycles for rent, and a beautiful light show. Nice, nice, wide, with bicycles for rent, and a beautiful light show.

Gorgeous Everlasting Regret: Cultural Aphasia Under a Visual Feast
The stage performance of "Song of Everlasting Regret" creates a visual spectacle with brilliant lights and magnificent scenes, interpreting the love tragedy of Emperor Minghuang of Tang and Yang Guifei beautifully. The design of the water stage is ingenious, and the prosperity and decline of the prosperous Tang Dynasty are reflected in the rippling water; the huge lineup of hundreds of actors presents a suffocating audio-visual impact with the cooperation of sound, light and electricity.
However, under this gorgeous shell, the performance has fallen into the dilemma of cultural expression. The choreography that pursues visual shock too much has reduced the story that originally contained profound historical heritage and human struggle to a background board. Although the dance movements are uniform, they lack emotional tension, and the gorgeous costumes cover up the real waves in the characters' hearts. When technical means become the protagonist, cultural connotations will inevitably become decorations.
What this performance finally presents is a beautiful empty shell that has been emptied of historical weight. It satisfies modern audiences' imagination of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, but fails to convey the emotional power and cultural weight of "Song of Everlasting Regret" that has traveled through thousands of years.
But overall, the ticket price is still too high.
So far, I have been to many cities to watch such large-scale outdoor and indoor performances. Eternal Love, Liu Sanjie, Song of Everlasting Regret, etc.! At present, Song of Everlasting Regret is the best in terms of stage design, lighting, sound and other visual effects! There are paintings in the mountains, scenery in the paintings, and people in the scenery! It is worth the money! It is really worth savoring again! If I can give a suggestion, I hope that the staff can remind you before watching the performance that there will be laser lights in a certain period of time during the live performance. Please do not shoot during this period to avoid damage to the lens! A small suggestion

Huashan is truly the most dangerous place. The left upper cableway is very scary. The scenery is spectacular. It is worthy of being the first cableway in Asia. Go up early and you don't have to queue. The temperature on the mountain is suitable and very cool. There are many places selling water and drinks on the mountain. They are all carried up by hand, so it is normal that the price is a bit expensive.
Traveling west and north on the weekend, the waiting time for transportation and cable cars is not too long. Huashan scenery is absolutely beautiful, and the Taoists have a fairy-like aura. Some sections of the road are crowded and slow, but overall it feels very worthwhile to visit!

From Taiyuan to Xi'an, passing through the Hukou Waterfall in Shanxi, so I searched for the nearest Jixian on Ctrip and stayed there for one night. First, it was clean. Second, the space was large enough. The only regret was that there was no refrigerator. If you drive by yourself, you have to be extra careful when the car enters the basement!
Ordinary cameras and mobile phones cannot express the feeling and shock of the scene. I advise you not to waste the money to watch the free tour by the road on the mountain. Only by getting close to it in person can you feel the shock and greatness of the mother river.

Very satisfactory stay experience, the environment is very good, especially the front desk service is super super super good! ! ! ! Fast check-in, complete room facilities, comfortable bed, smart room control, very good
First of all, I would like to thank the tailor Lin Juanjuan. It was my first time to go to Xi'an. This ancient city with a deep historical heritage helped me avoid many detours. The food and performances she introduced were very nice. My children liked them very much. Later, I added several performances and watched them all. The airport pick-up was very timely and the tailor was enthusiastic. I hope to go there again next time. Great~~~

Don't be misled by the TikTok anchor. The Tang Paradise is definitely much better than the Tang Dynasty City That Never Sleeps. If you think the ticket price is expensive, you can buy a combined ticket for 120 yuan with a drum or acrobatic performance, because the performance is really good. The drum performance I watched was a non-legacy performance, which lasted 30 minutes. There were two segments that made my blood boil. In addition, there are free performances in the Paradise. I watched four of them. You don't have to squeeze with the crowd. The night view is super beautiful at night. You can walk around slowly without so many people. It's very comfortable. The Paradise is also beautiful during the day. The architecture is exquisite, reflecting the beauty of the atmosphere. The only thing is that there are very few food items for sale, so it's best to bring some dry food with you. But the good thing is that there is not much commercial atmosphere, so it's suitable for tourists who want to play slowly and appreciate slowly.
After dinner, I went to do my makeup and took a walk to the Tang Paradise to take some photos. The scenery inside was pretty good, suitable for taking photos, and the night view was beautiful. We were indeed a little tired, so we bought a sightseeing bus ticket at the entrance. The bus would stop at the scenic spot if you waved, and you could get on and off at any time. It was suitable for people who were taking the elderly and children out.

This morning, I followed Chang'an's guide Chen to visit the four exhibition halls of Shaanxi Libo. Her professional and excellent ability and knowledge made us truly experience a Chinese culture baptism. The mystery of the bronze in Xizhou, the domineering of Qin and Han, and the prosperity of Datang will come again!
Come to Shaanxi History Museum. The wind in the morning was cool, stepping on the blue bricks like an annual wheel on the ground, and my heart jumped into this treasure house that preserves historical codes like a rabbit. Through the courtyard full of pine and cypress, under the red porch, the pavilion is looking at us with a round door. It is like an old album that can speak. Just opened the first page, the bronze smoke rises from the Shang and Zhou Dynasty. Those carved with the grain of the ding ah ah ah, bulky as if can smell the fireworks of the sacrifice!

The Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River is truly a work of nature! It is like a majestic dragon, showing its power with its teeth and claws. Think about it, the small waterfalls we usually see are at most a gentle kitten, but this Hukou Waterfall is definitely a ferocious tiger! The last time I went to see the Hukou Waterfall, I stood on the edge and the roar made my ears buzz. I felt so small in front of nature. Isn't this waterfall worth our appreciation?
The Yellow River is the boundary between Shanxi and Shaanxi. I originally wanted to go to the scenic spot on the Shanxi side, but by accident I ended up at the scenic spot on the Shaanxi side. Looking from the front, there are mountains and peaks. The viewing angles of the two provinces are different. If the cultural and tourism bureaus of the two provinces can reach an agreement, it would be great to build a bridge on both sides of the waterfall for tourists to walk on.

Xiaoxitian Scenic Area has a five-star rating and is definitely worth a visit. Remember to go early, as there will be a lot of people if you go late! In addition, if you go late, you will have to queue for parking spaces. It is also convenient to buy tickets on Ctrip, and you can directly scan the code to enter the scenic area!
Xiaoxitian Temple is built on the mountain and is divided into the upper and lower courtyards. The upper courtyard is the main body of the temple, and the lower courtyard is the monks' quarters and ancillary buildings. The overall layout is compact and well-arranged. In addition, the parking lot is right at the door, making parking convenient!
