Favorite Domestic City: A Day Trip to Xi'an

Having traveled through so many places, Xi'an is my white moonlight. Poets from the south, generals from the north, the loess of Shaanxi buries emperors; as the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties, Xi'an's profound history has fulfilled all my expectations. The first stop—The Stele Forest. As I approached the entrance of the Stele Forest, my heart settled. The first stele to greet visitors is Emperor Xuanzong of Tang's 'Filial Piety Classic on Stone Platform,' whose grand clerical script embodies the spirit of the Tang emperor. The 'Kaicheng Stone Classics' gave me the greatest shock, with over six hundred and fifty thousand characters, each square character seems like a sage stepping out of the history books, narrating the splendid and brilliant Chinese civilization. The 'Six Steeds of Zhaoling' allowed me to have such a profound emotional connection with cultural relics for the first time; two of the paintings have been lost overseas, but one day, they will return to the Stele Forest! I hope I can witness that day. Xi'an Stele Forest Museum, due to partial construction and renovation, has reduced its ticket price from 50 to 10 yuan per person. The Stele Forest was established on the foundation of the Song Dynasty Confucian temple, known for its forest of steles and gathering of famous calligraphers' works, hence the name Stele Forest. The words 'Xi'an Stele Forest' were written by Lin Zexu. Due to the construction, the open area is quite limited, mainly displaying rubbings of steles. It is recommended to hire a guide for a better understanding of the stories of famous calligraphers. The guide we hired cost 30 yuan per person and took about 30-40 minutes. The second stop—The Terracotta Army. Respect to my bro Ying Zheng! The solemn and majestic Terracotta Army vividly displays the iron-blooded Qin Dynasty's conquests and territorial expansions, laying the foundation for China's eternal legacy. In my opinion, the greatest emperor of all time is none other than Qin Shi Huang. On the way there, the Didi driver said it's the 'off-season' now, with about 40-50 thousand visitors a day, not too many. Only after entering did I realize that Pit No.1 might be the place with the highest population density in China, with about 5-6 layers of people in front of the railing... I had to queue up several times before I finally 'squeezed' to the front. It was truly shocking; each warrior's face is different, not the kind that is mass-produced from a uniform mold, but each a completely independent 'person,' from facial expressions to clothing, all unique and lifelike. The other two pits mainly provide supplementary details and displays for Pit No.1. Originally, Pit No.2 had a well-preserved colored terracotta warrior (the colors would oxidize if not protected within 30 minutes of excavation), but unfortunately, it is no longer on display, which is a bit regrettable. Xi'an's attractions are quite scattered, so it's convenient to join a local day tour group. Food to try: mutton stew with bread, roujiamo (meat sandwich), and belt noodles—it's a carb paradise. Xi'an is great, I'll come again. Xi'an·Shaanxi

City C Debut Plan | Night View of Yongning Gate of Xi'an City Wall

Yongning Gate of Xi'an City Wall, also known as the South Gate as referred by the locals, is a must-visit spot for tourists in Xi'an. This place has been a reception for important guests from ancient times to the present. You can climb the city wall from Yongning Gate when you come to Xi'an, and the city opening ceremony outside the city gate is also worth seeing. The city wall is 13.7 kilometers long and is divided into east, west, south, and north gates. Yongning Gate is a good place for taking photos, especially when night falls, the lights here are dazzling and eye-catching. Whether you are taking photos on the city wall or around Yongning Gate, it's a great place for photography. The best time to take photos is after sunset, during the twilight hour. It is recommended to start climbing the city wall at this time and keep shooting until the night lights illuminate the entire city wall. The night view of the city wall is very good!

Night tour of Xi'an City Wall

It's my first time to Xi'an, and the plane landed late. At 19.30, I entered the city from Yongning Gate (South Gate). There were many young ladies in Hanfu taking pictures. The city wall under the night view is quite different. Find a quiet place to look at the city wall, as if entering the prosperous Tang Dynasty!

Xi'an, a new network red city. Xi'an is the most Chinese, Xi'an is still coming to become the business card of our city. Friends from all over the country came to Xi'an to experience the night scene of our big Xi'an in the New Year. Some people said that we have beautiful night scenes, some people say that we are lighting city, but As a native of Xi'an, I feel that Xi'an has changed greatly in the past two years, becoming better and better, and developing faster and faster. Today, I will tell you how to shoot the city scenery. Since it is a good night view, the first element of shooting night scenes is the need for a tripod. The tripod must be chosen to be stable. I usually use a small tripod for easy carrying. With a tripod we can have a long exposure to get the rails. The second point is time. I know that the best night view is the 20 minutes after the sun goes down. These 20 minutes are called the blues moment. Recently, the blues moment in Xi'an is 18:40-18:57 every day. At the moment, the light is the softest and the most beautiful moments, so the night scene must grasp the time. Of course, in order to shoot the lantern, we have to wait, it will be black.
