    The environment is beautiful, with birds singing and flowers blooming. You can take a walk and have a cup of tea to rest. There are also animals such as peacocks, toucans, and parrots. However, I hope there can be more benches, as the elderly need to sit down every half hour.

    Venue rather small than expected, but immersive experience with the many NPCs makes the visit really worthwhile. Looked high & low in Xi’an for 火晶柿子 from the drama series, but it can only be found here! Highly recommended to try it, indeed delicious. Also recommend 石头拌饭 in the food street. At times may feel somewhat constrained due to the small venue cos not that much space to stroll around & different performances take place on rotation more or less around same spots, but despite so can still easily spend an entire day here if chasing after the various scheduled performances. Will still come here again when next visit 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.

    Parents and children must go to the scenic spot, children will like it very much, the price is also super high, the ticket includes the ticket of the Mammoth District bus. And you can queue up many times to see the Mammoth. The aquarium has a regular performance. The traffic is also very convenient.

    Our second stop in Xi'an is the Shaanxi Archaeological Museum. Located in Chang'an District, Xi'an, it is the first archaeological-themed museum in China, officially opened in April 2022. The museum was prepared by Shaanxi Provincial Archaeological Research Institute and has an exhibition area of 5,800 square meters. The theme of "Archaeological Holy Land, Huazhang Shaanxi" is a systematic display of Shaanxi archaeological development history and major achievements. The museum has more than 200,000 cultural relics, covering the prehistoric to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, including stone scorpion sites, Western Zhou bronzes, The characteristics of Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses are that they combine archaeological excavations with research results.
