The Terracotta Army Museum is truly breathtaking. Although this is my second visit, each trip brings a different sense of awe. I am so impressed by the wisdom of our ancestors; Qin Shi Huang truly is the progenitor of Chinese civilization.

The Xi'an City Wall is the largest and best-preserved ancient city wall in China, and a landmark of the ancient capital of Xi'an. Like a three-dimensional history book, it bears witness to the millennia-long vicissitudes of this ancient capital of thirteen dynasties.

The performance of "The Song of Everlasting Regret" was incredibly moving! "Heaven and earth may pass away, but this regret will last forever," the core of the poem lies in the word "regret." This "regret" is Emperor Xuanzong's endless remorse after losing his beloved; it is the constant longing he felt day and night for his beloved, as expressed in the lines "The Shu River is blue, the Shu Mountains are green, the Emperor's love is constant, morning and night"; it is Yang Guifei's unwillingness to accept her tragic death; it is the regret of "Years have passed since our separation by death, her soul has never come to me in dreams"; it is also history's silent condemnation of the abuse of power, and the world's sorrow at the destruction of beautiful love by reality.

A 4-day family trip to Xi'an made all the difference by choosing the right hotel! The Lavande Hotel Bell Tower Metro Station was an absolute gem, exceeding all expectations. The hotel's location is impeccable, just 30 meters from the Bell Tower Metro Station. It's practically a stone's throw from the door, making it easy to reach attractions like the Bell Tower, Drum Tower, Terracotta Warriors, and Big Wild Goose Pagoda, or to explore the Muslim Quarter and Yongxingfang for delicious food. Traveling with elderly relatives and children is a breeze. The hotel is clean and tidy, with no clutter in the public areas. The rooms were a pleasant surprise – the bedding was soft and comfortable, and the soundproofing was excellent, ensuring a quiet night's sleep for my family after our sightseeing. What touched us most was the lovely receptionist, Zhao Jiaqi! One night, I received an urgent work assignment and was frantically searching for my laptop. Without hesitation, she lent me her own personal computer, patiently explaining the usage instructions. Her attitude was gentle and patient throughout. This selfless kindness warmed our hearts while we were far from home, making our stay truly special. From the clean and comfortable facilities to the convenient location and the heartwarming service provided by Ms. Zhao Jiaqi, every aspect of the Lavande Hotel reflected meticulous attention to detail. Our four-day stay was flawless, and we've already recommended it to friends visiting Xi'an. We'll definitely choose this hotel again next time we're in Xi'an! We are truly grateful to the hotel for the high-quality accommodation, and even more grateful to the kind and beautiful Ms. Zhao Jiaqi for her selfless help, making our Xi'an trip perfect and unforgettable.

Everyone goes through difficult times: financial hardship, job setbacks, academic pressure, and the anxiety of unrequited love. Those who persevere will find life opens up new possibilities; those who don't will learn to make peace with their circumstances over time. What you overcome becomes experience; what you don't, becomes lessons—both are beneficial. What I want is favoritism, not love. This world is cruelly fair, and I only want to be the exception.

I took my mom to Xi'an. We hadn't originally considered this place, but I saw it while researching, and the reviews were mixed, so I didn't think much of it. One rainy day in Xi'an, I suddenly remembered this place—it's an indoor attraction—so we took a taxi here. After arriving, we found the immersive experience quite good. My mom, who's over sixty, had a great time. We saw several of the main shows; the actors were energetic and dedicated, and the interaction was strong. I highly recommend the costume change—become a Tang Dynasty "trendy" person for a day and enjoy the immersive experience.

The Tang Dynasty Never Sleeping City is not only a tourist attraction but also a carrier of cultural heritage. It regularly hosts cultural activities such as Tang poetry recitals and traditional musical instrument performances, allowing visitors to gain a deeper understanding of the literary and artistic achievements of the Tang Dynasty while enjoying their visit.

This scenic area is steeped in history and stories. It includes the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, but climbing the pagoda requires an additional fee. It offers great value for money and is a top choice for tourists visiting Xi'an. However, the scenic area only has one entrance and exit, which is not very convenient, and the traffic around the scenic area is somewhat chaotic.

It's worth a visit; the ruins evoke a sense of desolation, a testament to the decline of the once-prosperous Tang Dynasty. It truly embodies the sentiments of Du Fu's "The country is broken, but the mountains and rivers remain," and Zhang Yanghao's "Ten thousand palaces have all turned to dust"—a poignant and lamentable sight.
