Xi'an | Travel back to Chang'an in one second and encounter the prosperity of the world

| Travel back to Chang'an in one second and encounter the prosperity of the world. Xi'an, an ancient capital with thousands of years of history, is one of the important birthplaces of Chinese civilization. The profound sense of history and modern vitality blend perfectly here. Come here, see the ancient city walls, taste authentic food, and feel the unique charm of this city. 1. Best travel time Xi'an has a warm temperate semi-humid continental monsoon climate with four distinct seasons. Spring (March - May) is warm and humid, with temperatures ranging from 10 - 20℃, which is suitable for strolling around the ancient city and admiring the flowers all over the city; autumn (September - November) is clear and cool, with temperatures ranging from 15 - 25℃, which is a very pleasant time to visit historical sites. The average temperature in these two seasons is suitable, which is very suitable for travel. Summer (June - August) is quite hot, with temperatures often exceeding 30°C, but Xi'an is very lively at night, with various night markets to visit; winter (December - February of the following year) is cold and dry, with temperatures around 0°C, but you can see the unique tranquility of the ancient city and experience the fun of bathing in hot springs. 2. Must-visit attractions Xi'an City Wall: one of the largest and best-preserved ancient city walls in existence. Rent a bicycle and ride along the city wall 🚲 to feel the vicissitudes and heaviness of the ancient city and enjoy the scenery inside and outside the city wall. Various special activities are also held on the city wall, such as lantern festivals and folk performances. Qin Shi Huang's Terracotta Warriors: A world-famous archaeological wonder, known as the "Eighth Wonder of the World". Looking closely at these lifelike terracotta warriors, you can almost see the majestic momentum of the Qin army. It is recommended to hire a tour guide to give you a deeper understanding of the historical stories behind the Terracotta Warriors. The Tang Dynasty City That Never Sleeps: When night falls and the lights come on, this place instantly becomes a prosperous city of the Tang Dynasty. Gorgeous lights, wonderful performances, lively crowds, and all kinds of young men and women in Tang suits, taking photos is beyond the film 📸 The performance of the tumbler girl is very popular, so be sure to reserve a seat in advance. Shaanxi History Museum: "The Pearl of the Ancient Capital, the Treasure House of China", the museum has rich collections from ancient times to modern times, showing the long history and splendid culture of the Shaanxi region. Remember to book tickets in advance on the official website or WeChat official account for free visits. 3. Food Recommendations Roujiamo: The steamed bun is crispy and the meat is juicy. It is crispy and delicious, fat but not greasy. Recommended restaurants include Zhangji Roujiamo and Qinyu Roujiamo on Ziwu Road. Mutton Soup with Steamed Bun: A classic Xi'an delicacy, the mutton soup is fresh and fragrant, and the steamed bun is chewy and tasty. When eating, you must break the steamed bun yourself and experience the unique fun. The mutton soup steamed buns at Lao Sun’s Restaurant and Tongshengxiang Restaurant are both very authentic. Cold Noodles: The chewy cold noodles paired with spicy chili oil are refreshing and delicious, making them a great way to cool off in the summer. Weijia Liangpi and Sesame Sauce Noodles are both worth a try. Zenggao: soft, glutinous and sweet. The sweetness of red dates and the softness of glutinous rice are perfectly blended. You can’t stop eating it once you take a bite. It can be found in snack streets such as Sajinqiao and Huimin Street. IV. Precautions Most of the scenic spots in Xi'an have a long history. When visiting, please abide by the regulations and do not touch the cultural relics. There are more people traveling during holidays. For popular attractions such as the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang and the Shaanxi History Museum, you must book tickets in advance to avoid delays in your trip. Xi'an cuisine tends to be heavy in flavor, mostly spicy and salty. If you can't handle spicy food, remember to tell your waiter in advance. When buying food in snack streets such as Huimin Street, be sure to ask about the prices to avoid unnecessary disputes. Xi'an, this charming city, is waiting for you to explore and discover. Come and start your trip to Xi'an!
