Xi'an leaves a lasting impression

Friends, don't be afraid of traveling alone 🧳. As we grow up, all feasts must end. With good planning, you can go whenever you're ready to relax and broaden your horizons—it's truly a joy! The phrase "Journey far to witness the splendor of this world, behold the glorious face of our flourishing era" inspired my determined trip. After experiencing Xi'an's historical charm, I truly understood why it's called the treasure trove of Chinese civilization and the pearl of Huaxia. The ancient capital of thirteen dynasties is absolutely worth visiting. I visited Xi'an during the summer before starting junior high, and the impact was profound~ Day 1: Check-in at the "Xi'an" sign - Yongxingfang - Wenchang Gate city wall - Yongning Gate city wall base - Bell Tower Day 2: Terracotta Warriors of Emperor Qin Shi Huang Day 3: Shaanxi History Museum - Saige Shopping Mall - Giant Wild Goose Pagoda Photo spot recommendations: 1. Bell & Drum Towers - Open-air square in front of Kaiyuan Mall - Hidden spot at Bell & Drum Tower Square - Framed view at Tongshengxiang entrance - East Square of Bell & Drum Towers 2. Guangren Temple - Red wall at the corner 3. Giant Wild Goose Pagoda - Heytea entrance at Gate 3 of Grand Tang Mall - 4th-floor observation deck of Grand Tang Mall - Square in front of the ticket office - Daci'en Temple Ruins Park (Buddha statue with pagoda backdrop) Yongning Gate main tower offers perfect angles facing the Bell Tower. Tips: ✔ Xi'an's night views are stunning—great spots include Bell Tower, Tang Paradise, and Xi'an City Wall. ✔ Families with kids must visit Shaanxi History Museum—it's incredibly worthwhile but crowded. I secured my ticket only three days in advance (ID required).
