A guide to the roots of Xi'an City Wall, from the morning market hustle to the courtyard moonlight, all perfectly captured ​

🍂 Traveling in Xi'an, even the wind carries the sweet scent of sugar-roasted chestnuts! This time, staying at Luming Courtyard right under the city wall, I truly understood what it means to "live hidden in the city"—by day, breaking bread and hearing calls in the Muslim Quarter, by night, returning to the courtyard to see ginkgo leaves covering the stone paths. This journey woven with everyday life and poetry is so healing! 🏯【Location】 Just a few steps out the gate and you can climb the city wall to watch the sunset🌇, take a stroll to the Daming Palace National Heritage Park, and the intangible cultural heritage foods at Yongxingfang are just a step away~ Metro Line 4 goes straight to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda Night City, only 6 stops to travel through the flourishing Tang Dynasty, walking all day without getting tired! 🌿【Courtyard Beauty】 The courtyard is full of red maples, ginkgo, and hydrangeas, with autumn and winter painting the woods in layers of color🍁 Sitting in the rocking chair watching leaves drift into the fish pond, the copper bells at the eaves jingling, it feels like stepping onto the set of "The Longest Day in Chang'an"! 🛏️【Rooms】 Chose a second-floor ginkgo tree view room, opening the window reveals a golden canopy✨ The smart room control is like a thoughtful little butler, the mattress is just right, wrapped in high-end bedding for a natural wake-up~ The bathtub room comes with a projector, soaking while watching old movies, and the minibar’s little drinks are just right for a gentle buzz! 🎵【Healing Night Moments】 In the lobby, a guzheng player gently strums the strings, order a hand-brewed coffee with Shaanxi-style snacks, watching the dusk deepen outside the window🌙 If you don’t want to go out, cozy up in the room watching "Chang'an 30,000 Miles" on the projector, listening to the evening drum sounds from the city wall, even time seems to slow down~ 🍜【Eat Through Xi'an’s Old Brands!】 At Xiaonanmen morning market, oil tea and mahua paired with zenggao cake—who can understand the happiness of this sweet and salty mix! Yongxingfang’s Zichang pancakes are so thin they’re translucent, Tongguan roujiamo is crispy to the point of crumbling with every bite, parents with kids remember to order the non-alcoholic smashing bowl wine for full ritual vibes🥣 The butler can also help pack sour soup dumplings from the Muslim Quarter, perfect for a night snack while binge-watching in your room! 【Sightseeing】 ✅ Wear Hanfu to the Tang Paradise, and at night, the Ziyun Tower night view is stunning for photos ✅ For the Bell Tower night view, it’s best to shoot from the 5th floor of Kaiyuan Shopping Mall, the angle is perfect ✅ The Terracotta Warriors must be visited with a guide, otherwise, you’re just looking at “clumps of earth” ✅ Book "The Longest Day in Chang'an" in advance for an immersive Tang Dynasty experience The biggest surprise of this Xi'an trip was staying at Luming Courtyard, where you can feel the lively atmosphere under the city wall and also enjoy the deep tranquility of the courtyard.
