The hotel is excellent and offers great value for money. The location is superb, close to all the attractions. The hotel service is warm and welcoming, highly recommended. There's also a good hot pot restaurant downstairs. Overall, I had a great experience in Xi'an; the locals were very friendly. I loved it and would definitely come again.

A 24-hour chat on the Chang'an City Wall 🌅 At dawn, I climbed the city wall from Yongning Gate. The brick pavement gleamed amber in the morning light. I rented a mint-green motorcycle by scanning a QR code, and rode to Hanguang Gate. A newly installed AR screen flashed an image of a Persian camel caravan; the sound of hooves mingled with the car horns on the South Gate roundabout, and for a moment, I lost track of time. ☀️ At midday, I strolled from Zhongshan Gate to Yongxingfang. The Chengcheng mutton soup stall, a traditional intangible cultural heritage spot, had a broth as clear as a mirror. The crescent-shaped pancakes were best eaten by tearing them into pieces and soaking them in the broth. At the Chang'an Stove near the South Gate, the gourd chicken was fried to a crispy exterior and tender interior. Sitting by the window, I could see the upturned eaves of the barbican. For 80 yuan per person, I enjoyed a feast fit for a grand Tang Dynasty banquet. 🌇When returning the car in the dark, I discovered a new monster-themed charging station at the West Gate. A quick scan with WeChat and I could borrow one. The moat's boats, carrying the twilight, crossed the bridge; the lanterns on the bar street lit up in a flash; a young woman sang "Xi'an People's Song" with her guitar; and the evening breeze was filled with the aroma of chili oil. 🏙️A few more words: The AR projection at the southwest corner of the city is amazing; the shadow puppet show at Yongxingfang starts at 7:30, don't forget; the elevator at Hanguang Gate is perfect for families with young children. #ThirteenDynastiesCityWallChat #YongxingfangIsBeautiful #AncientAndModernBikeTravel

Have to arrange for own transport to hua mountain and additional tickets for cable cars. It's still cheaper to diy package the hua mountain trip compared to going through a tour agency. Overall, I enjoyed the hike although it was too cold for me!

Xi'an Citywalk | A Time Machine After a Carb-Filled Walk As dusk settled, I emerged from the Yongningmen subway station and looked up—wow! The golden roof of the Bell Tower was bathed in the glow of the sunset, looking like amber—absolutely stunning! This old building, dating back to the Ming Dynasty, is now gently embraced by glass curtain walls and a sunken plaza, both ancient and modern. In the Line 5 transfer passage, a Ming Dynasty ceremonial guard is "walking" on an AR wall, with vermilion palace lanterns and neon signs lighting up together, surprisingly harmoniously. On the basement level, the food market is filled with the irresistible aroma of biangbiang noodles with chili oil. Next door, at Shaanxi Shisan, young people are queuing up to try the fermented rice flavored ice cream—it's all so novel! On the third-floor observation deck, donning VR glasses, the morning bell and evening drum of the Bell Tower and the drone show at Yongning Gate "fold" before your eyes. A blogger in Hanfu walks past under the eaves, the sounds of wind chimes and helicopters mingling in the wind—it's incredibly captivating! This is the Bell Tower as seen through my eyes—unpretentious and unpretentious, seamlessly blending old traditions with modern life, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the aroma of food and the interplay of light and shadow, experiencing Chang'an firsthand. #AncientTowerNewFashion #CarbsAndCyber ​​#SixHundredYearsInAGlance

Booked the tickets with a drum performance at 7 pm. Reached Tang Paradise at 4 pm to take some photos at the garden before watching the drum performance. Enjoyed the performance. It was in a small cozy theatre. Actual musicians performed in the performance.

The room was very clean, with three bedrooms that can accommodate many people. It was fully equipped, and you could cook your own meals. The lovely landlady provided a parking space right outside the door. The welcome fruit provided by the landlady was homegrown, and my child loved it. Overall, I was very satisfied.

Our guide June is very good and professional. She is humorous and shared many interesting stories about the history of china and Shaanxi. Highly recommend to visit Shaanxi History museum. I would love to visit again when I come to Xi'an next time.

"The Longest Day in Chang'an" is a dreamlike journey through the Tang Dynasty! The friendly staff at the ticket counter enthusiastically answered all my questions, and stepping into the streets felt like stepping into a history book. The NPCs were vividly portrayed; I even encountered the poet Li Bai at the Taibai Tavern, and Cui Qi, the guardian of Chang'an, reappeared at the Jing'an Bureau. Interacting with them felt like meeting old friends. A series of wonderful performances followed, including folk acrobatics, Hu Ji dances, and ancient music. The local delicacies were dazzling—my favorite was the milk-filled fried dough stick! Every building and every detail perfectly showcased the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, captivating me and making the trip truly worthwhile. 👍 Thumbs up to the staff!
