Records of some favorite places in Xi'an

Xi'an really gets more flavorful the more you experience it, blending ancient and modern with rich cultural heritage. Unfortunately, I don't know much about history, but I do know how to appreciate beautiful scenery! I never miss the best photo spots at the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, I caught the dappled light and shadows in the trees at the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and I was also on the city wall at sunset. I even found two perfect photo spots for the Bell Tower (one at Kaiyuan Square and another near Yongning Gate on the city wall). 🌟 The most worthwhile place to visit is Guangren Temple, a refined and beautiful Tibetan Buddhist temple full of exquisite details that greatly satisfy the eyes. They offer water and wet wipes upon entry, and you can draw a bookmark when you leave. The shop inside has many beautiful bracelets, and you can also get a free God of Wealth card. Inside, there are pretty prayer flags and a wishing wall where you can make wishes and pray. Overall, it’s a place full of rewarding experiences. 🌟 I have something to say about the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum Museum 🙋 The 30 RMB direct shuttle to Lintong includes free commentary, but don’t listen to it! (When researching, I saw that the commentary tries to push sales of Lantian jade.) There are also many tour guides from travel agencies along the way charging 98 RMB per person; I didn’t use their services so I won’t comment. I found the official guide for 60 RMB per person, located on the left side after entering Pit 1, very inconspicuous—just hidden too well... Lishan Garden is very beautiful, a carefully selected spot by our ancestors. It feels very comfortable to stroll around. If you have time, I recommend visiting the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum Stele. You can only get off there, not on, but it’s not far from the exit, so you can take a walk. 🌟 The night scene at the Tang Paradise is like a large film set. Being brushed by the fan of the roly-poly doll girl made the trip worthwhile. Overall, I don’t recommend rushing through Xi'an like a special forces checkpoint tour. Take it slow, visit one or two attractions a day, and leisurely feel time flowing through history. Pick a few places that interest you and enjoy them slowly. There will be more chances to come back often to Chang’an.
