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!

This is my second time here. The first time was with my husband. This time, I brought my parents along, and they had a blast. It rained for three days straight, so it was difficult to go anywhere without an umbrella. But overall, it was a very enjoyable experience.
It was my first time here, and I climbed up the bell tower, a landmark building in Xi'an, the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties. I was shocked. The vicissitudes and heaviness of history and the hustle and bustle of modern life complement each other here.

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!

Seeing the Yellow River made me want to cry, I don't know why. The desert area was a blast, with sandboarding available for as long as you wanted. It was cloudy the day we went, and it had rained the previous night, so it wasn't hot at all. The staff at the scenic area were incredibly friendly, and I have to give them a thumbs up. The directions were clear, and I had no trouble getting lost.
As a 5A-level scenic spot in Ningxia, Shapotou Scenic Area has really good service attitude and infrastructure. Especially the entertainment projects are really worth recommending. Riding a camel 🐫 to stroll through the sand sea, taking a leisurely sheepskin raft, and riding a surfing car are thrilling. The children had a lot of fun!

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.

It’s such a wonderful trip. Easy communication. This place is so beautiful and is a must visit when you’re in Lanzhou.
The VIP ticket was incredibly emotionally rewarding! The 3.5-kilometer hike from Nuwa Relics to Danxia Scenic Area took half an hour, and I was saved by the Three Forts in the rest area (the mountaintop prices were even cheaper than in downtown Lanzhou, which really made me cry! 😭)
It rained lightly this morning, so I started my tour at noon. The colors were perfectly dampened by the rain, and the cloudy day gave it an ink painting-like feel. This truly is Lanzhou's most famous attraction, and the ticket price is incredibly worth it! 😍

The scenery was stunning, the lights dressing the city like a voluptuous young woman, and people were completely captivated by the atmosphere! We all felt like we were back in our youth, enjoying ourselves to the fullest. Time seemed to flow backwards, yet it seemed to have frozen. Before we knew it, it was almost midnight, and we realized we were tired and it was time to go back to bed!
Xi'an's Tang Dynasty City, a city that never sleeps, is a top-tier destination in China. Compared to other cities that never sleep, its beautiful nightscape and illuminations go beyond the unique and captivating cultural performances. While there are snack and drink shops, they don't take up nearly the entire area, creating a market-like atmosphere unlike other places. Travel photography here feels seamless, and people of all ages feel like they've traveled from the Tang Dynasty to the modern era.

There weren't many tourists, and the two museums were excellent, highly recommended. The ruins park only has some rammed earth platforms left, so it's worth a quick tour. If you're going to visit the ruins park, you absolutely have to buy a tour bus; it's so large you'll either tire yourself out or get sunburned. I recommend standing on the Hanyuan Temple ruins to experience the world's center, roughly 1,300 to 1,000 years ago, right under your feet. It feels like a dialogue between time and space!
The overall feeling is one of amazement and regret. Our great China was once so magnificent. One can imagine the scene of all nations coming to pay tribute. After the war, only devastation is left. What a sight it would be if it had remained to this day!

Big Wild Goose Pagoda is a landmark building in Xi'an. It is also a 5A-level scenic spot that Chinese and foreign tourists must visit when visiting Xi'an. It has a high cost-effectiveness and is worth a visit.
If you want to see the Big Wild Goose Pagoda up close, you must go into the Da Ci'en Temple. This temple was built under the supervision of Xuanzang and contains the life story of Xuanzang. The ticket price is very cost-effective!
