    It's convenient to buy and use immediately. Coming to Xi'an without visiting the city wall would be a real shame. After climbing the wall, you can rent a bicycle to ride. It's a bit tiring, but quite enjoyable!

    The Muslim Quarter in Xi'an is a popular tourist destination, possessing both unique charm and areas for improvement. On the positive side, the Muslim Quarter is a paradise for food lovers. It boasts a wide variety of Xi'an specialties, such as mutton stew, roujiamo (meat sandwich), and zenggao (steamed glutinous rice cake), allowing visitors to sample authentic Xi'an flavors in one place. Many shops are long-established businesses, adhering to traditional techniques to ensure the original taste of the food. Furthermore, the Muslim Quarter has a rich cultural atmosphere. As a Hui Muslim community, it features several mosques, including the Grand Mosque of Huajue Lane, and displays Ming and Qing dynasty-style architecture, offering a unique glimpse into Muslim culture. In addition, the Muslim Quarter enjoys a prime location in the city center, close to attractions like the Bell and Drum Towers and the Xi'an City Wall, making it convenient for tourists to visit these sites. However, the Muslim Quarter also has some drawbacks. Due to its popularity, it attracts many tourists, especially during peak season, resulting in crowded streets and long queues at popular food stalls. Over-commercialization is also a concern, with some goods being overpriced and the food quality varying considerably. In addition, the large number of tourists puts pressure on sanitation maintenance, sometimes resulting in excessive litter and heavy cooking fumes in the area. Overall, the Muslim Quarter in Xi'an is worth a visit. Visitors can experience a unique cultural atmosphere and sample local delicacies, but should be prepared to avoid peak hours and carefully assess the quality of the food.

    It was quite spectacular. We went to the Bell Tower first; the Drum Tower is very close, only a few minutes' walk away. When we got to the Drum Tower, we found out that two items could be purchased together for 50 yuan. Not knowing this beforehand, we had to pay an extra 30 yuan. The service was still lacking!

    The hotel owner was very welcoming and helpful, giving me directions to various attractions. The hotel was nice, clean, and conveniently located inside the Xi'an city wall, right in the city center, very close to attractions like the Bell Tower. It offered excellent value for money. I stayed at this hotel again when I visited Xi'an.

    We couldn't get tickets to the big Shaanxi History Museum so we decided to visit this. Ticket by specific time slot is free to reserve via Trip.com. At the museum, need to exchange to paper tickets (by showing ID, entered during booking). The Museum is in a big park with Small Wild Goose Pagoda and several other scenic buildings (temples, exhibition halls). It's a lovely park to walk around in. There's a place to write wishes and ring a bell for anyone interested, We spent time walking around the park before going into the museum. It's a good and smallish museum, with more artifacts from the around the regions. Captions are in Chinese and English. There are some extra exhibition (3D) which we didn't go to.The park is a short walk from a few metro stations ; Nanshaomen (near the North Gate) and Tiyuchang (close to the Stadium). If one cannot get tickets to the Shaanxi Museum, this is good enough in my opinion.

    it's a good place to walk around and imagine how utterly grand this place was which used to be the center of the civilization. The place was huge and educational with remains of the foundations of various halls. Visit the museum, then have a nice leisurely stroll

    I first visited the Beilin Museum in 1988 and have done so several times over the years, with the ticket price never exceeding 10 yuan. This year, however, it jumped to 85 yuan. Since I was already there, I decided to take a look. I was surprised to find a massive new museum built behind the old buildings. Even after walking four floors and my legs gave out, I still hadn't seen half of it. It's a perfect blend of the oldest stone carvings and the most modern museum, definitely worth the ticket price. I'll definitely come back sometime in the future to explore it properly.

    Yongxingfang is located in Zhongshan Gate on the east side of Xi'an City Wall. It is one of the 108 squares in the Tang Dynasty and the original site of the mansion of Wei Zheng. It carries a deep historical heritage and has become the first block in the country with the theme of "non-legacy food culture" after restoration and construction. Stepping into Yongxingfang, the antique buildings are scattered, the moths and the green tiles of Zhumen make people seem to have crossed back to Datang. Jingjian Square, Baijiayuan Stone stool, Weizheng's historical and cultural wall and other characteristic landscapes, showing the charm of history everywhere. Yongxingfang is a paradise for food, bringing together hundreds of non-legacy foods from 107 districts and counties in 11 cities in Shaanxi. In Guanzhong Lane, you can taste Chang'an gourd chicken, Laoyuguan meat sandwich, Chang'an braised pork trotters, etc.; Hanyin white fire stone soup and Yang steamed pots on Shaanxi South Street have a unique southern Shaanxi flavor; The sub-long pancakes in northern Shaanxi, and the brewing skin of Dingbian He are endlessly memorable. In addition, there are Liquan Tiger Peel Tofu, Xingping Stone Grilled Spicy Zi in the Hand Workshop District. In addition to food, there are many special experiences here.

    The tour guide's explanations were vivid and engaging, demonstrating a deep understanding of the exhibits and providing historical context and stories behind each piece. She ensured we didn't miss any of the national treasures. We highly recommend Ctrip's tour guide service.
