Legendary place, everyone should visit, DO NOT come in summer, too hot(but inside the mausoleum there are ACs)
Awe-Inspiring Experience at the Terracotta ArmyVisiting the Terracotta Army was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience and absolutely worth every minute. Standing in front of thousands of life-sized clay soldiers, all arranged in precise battle formations, is both overwhelming and fascinating. The scale of the site is far beyond what photos can capture.What impressed me the most is the level of detail — every warrior has a unique facial expression, hairstyle, and posture. You can really feel the power and ambition of China’s first emperor through this incredible masterpiece. Seeing the excavation pits alongside the restoration area also gives great insight into how carefully these artifacts are preserved and studied.The museum is well-organized, spacious, and informative, with clear explanations in English. It can get crowded, but the viewing platforms are well designed, making it easy to explore and take photos.

A Relaxing Walk Through History at Xi’an City WallThe Xi’an City Wall is one of the best-preserved ancient city walls in China and a wonderful place to experience the city’s history at a slower pace. Walking or cycling along the wall offers stunning panoramic views of both the old city and the modern skyline, creating a unique contrast between past and present.The wall is wide, clean, and well maintained, making it very enjoyable even for first-time visitors. Sunset is especially beautiful, and the atmosphere feels peaceful despite being in the city center. Bike rental is easy and affordable, and it’s a fun way to explore the entire wall.

Definitely must visit when in Xi’an. Must be fully aware that it quite challenging. Xi feng up and Xi Feng down is fully recommended. My route Xi Feng up, Bei Feng down took us almost 4 hours and that was when we skipped the three other Feng. 4 hours is the time spent on the mountain.
I traveled during the off-season, so the ticket price was lower than in peak season, and there was almost no waiting in line. Because Mount Hua is very large, with five peaks alone, you can climb many places. I started from Yuquan Temple, which has a very ancient and charming atmosphere. This time, I only climbed up to the North Peak from Yuquan Temple, and it was very rewarding to reach the top. If you want to catch the cable car, you really need to allow plenty of time. The southern cable car was closed at the time, so you could only take the cable car from the north, but it will resume operation on December 15th, so you can choose whichever you prefer.

Worth it🤩🤩. Amazing performance, traditional choreography, wonderful melody . A mix of Modern and classic . A must see show . #memories, #Broadway Chinese version
I enjoyed it but since the show is in mandarin and I didn’t look up the story beforehand I was a bit confused. I wouldn’t say the plotline is as obvious as the other commenters suggested. I highly recommend reading about it before going. Arrive at the palace atleast 15mins before the show because you need to print the ticket and there’s usually a queue.

Hukou waterfall is majestic, like a thousand horses running and gushing, the Yellow River here split the canyon, the turbulent water flow down, the earth shaking, the sound like thunder, like thousands of horses in the sand field battle, people's heart tide, sigh the power of nature. Come to Hukou, see the Yellow River water from the sky, rush to the sea never return spectacular scene!
Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River is divided into Shanxi and Shaanxi two scenic spots. It is on the east and west sides of Hukou Waterfall. I went to the scenic spot of Shaanxi three years ago. In May and August this year, I went to the scenic spot on the Shanxi side. Hukou Waterfall is a special waterfall caused by the changes of the Yellow River, more than 400 meters wide of the river, to the Hukou only 30-50 meters wide, and the gap of about 30 meters, forming a waterfall, like a giant pot, the water of the Yellow River, so called the pot mouth. Hukou waterfall is extremely spectacular, rapids, splashing foam forming smoke, and sonic earthquakes for several miles. When I went in May, the Yellow River water was clear, and the water in August was yellow. The "clear waterfall" and "yellow waterfall" were different due to the time to watch, and there was a completely different. Of course, by the comparison of photos, it can be seen that the water flow of the "clear waterfall" is much less than the "yellow waterfall". Tickets for both scenic spots on both sides of the Straits are 90 yuan, and you have to reach the viewing attractions through Jingjiao Car. The Jingjiao Car in Shanxi is closer, and the Jingjiao Car in Shaanxi is farther away. Looking at the Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River is to see the waterfall, droplets, and the waterfalls formed by the wide and narrow bands of the Yellow River. The shock brought by the water mist, this shock is given by nature through the Yellow River, it is worth seeing.

To play Laojun Mountain, you must be physically strong. You must walk Shili Gallery and the glass plank road. You must take the ropeway to and from the ropeway. At night, you must see the golden ceiling lights. It is called the golden sky and the world. Go to the world to be shocked and see the world's prosperity.
On July 5, Laojun Mountain was hot at 7:30. The first-level cableway went up the mountain and the section was hot. It was much cooler when it was halfway up the mountain, but the jacket with it was not needed at all! no need! no need! Silently back all the way [Sweat Yan R] If you are not afraid of the sun, you can wear shorts, cool, and the sun protection that is afraid of the sun is enough. It is best to bring a small fan, which is very useful! #Laojunshan [Topic]##Laojunshan Raiders[Topic]##Laojunshan Golden Summit[Topic]#

Great and a must see. It wasn’t very easy finding the entrance as the tower access is underground, but it’s a must see when you’re in Xi’An! Be prepared as it does get VERY crowded!
It's worth the visit, for sure. It's an economical attraction and it's beautiful and easily accessible in the heart of Xi'an. It's worth visiting both Towers.
