Xi' an, located in the south of Guanzhong Plain in Shaanxi Province, is one of the excellent tourist cities in China and the capital of Shaanxi Province. Traveling to Xi 'an is the aspiration of many people. The fertile Guanzhong Plain has endowed the ancient city of Xi 'an with beautiful natural scenery. There are scenic spots such as Zhongnanshan, Mount Li, Cuihua Mountain and Louguantai in the territory, and there are 11 forest parks. To the east of its territory, there is the Huashan Mountain in Xiyue, which is famous for its danger. Its height is the highest among the five mountains, with towering peaks and steep cliffs, which is breathtaking and beautiful, making people linger.

Xi' an, formerly known as Chang' an, has a long history. "Chang 'an has been the capital of emperors since ancient times". Since the Zhou Dynasty, there have been ***13 dynasties, such as Qin, Han, Sui and Tang, which have made their capitals here. It is the first of the six ancient capitals in China (Beijing, Xi 'an, Luoyang, Kaifeng, Nanjing and Hangzhou), and it is also the capital with the earliest capital, the most dynasties and the longest time among the ancient capitals in China, and it is connected with the world famous cities of Athens and Cairo.

Augustus once said, "The history of a city is the history of a nation". Looking back on the history of Xi 'an, Qin Shihuang's hegemony has achieved a unified great China, and Emperor Wudi's bravado has given China national self-confidence, and Emperor Taizong's strenuous efforts have enabled China to open up a splendid era of promoting China's style!

Therefore, Xi 'an, which is recognized as one of the world's famous historical and cultural cities, is rich in human landscape and can be called "the historical museum of ancient China society". Xi 'an is not only the starting point of the famous Silk Road, but also the "eternal capital" of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, the eighth wonder of the world. In addition, Xi 'an also has the Banpo site with a history of more than 6,111 years, the Tibetan stone tablet established in the Ming Dynasty, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, the place where Xuanzang translated scriptures in the Tang Dynasty, the oldest Muslim Temple in the northwest, and the most complete and grand ancient city wall in the world.

Historic sites engrave the vicissitudes and wonders of Xi 'an, and express the countless glories and splendors of Xi 'an. Beautiful natural scenery and vigorous human landscape together shape the domineering charm that Xi 'an should have as an ancient city.

for traveling in Xi' an, other expenses are not too high except the cost of tickets. Take Huashan Mountain as an example, the ticket in the peak season is 111 yuan, with the insurance of 5 yuan. If you have to take buses and cable cars in the scenic area, the cost is not low, but if you climb Huashan Mountain in the off-season, the ticket is half price, so you don't have to take the cable car when you walk up and down, so it is not expensive. The off-season is actually winter, or it snows, or the weather is cold, but the management of Huashan Mountain is particularly good. After it snows, the steps will be cleaned, as long as it is not running around, there will be absolutely no problem. As far as the temperature in Tianan is concerned, it will not be too cold if it is cold.

In addition, weekend trips are popular in Xi 'an. People who don't have a car choose to join an outdoor club or take a day trip. The most lively place is Shaanxi Coca-Cola Stadium, which is called Shaanxi Provincial Stadium by Xi 'an people. At its east gate, at around 7: 11 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday, a row of cars will stop there, and flags of various societies will fly. If you have made a reservation, you can find the car you reserved. If you don't make a reservation, you can take a chance and see which club has seats left. Following these societies, you can go to the mountains and valleys (that is, ditches) with various names in the Qinling Mountains in Xi 'an for a day's leisure. Of course, don't take the wrong bus. Some clubs' activities on that day may last for two days. Please ask clearly.

If you have a car, you don't have to say anything. Take a map, find some riders, drive into the Qinling Mountains, drive carefully, and when you get to the place where there is water, you can express your feelings.

The Qinling Mountains in the south of downtown Xi 'an provide a natural place for weekend trips in Xi 'an. There are many scenic spots and landscapes that have been developed or are being developed or undeveloped. If you travel to Xi 'an for the first time and see those people carrying bags, walking sticks or carrying pecans and fire persimmons at the bus stop, don't be surprised. These people must be walking, climbing, relaxing and fishing in the mountains.

compared with other big cities, food in Xi' an is cheap. A steamed bun with meat and a bowl of cold rice noodles are enough to make a person full. After the price began to rise in 2117, although the catering price in Xi' an has also increased substantially, it won't cost too much if you only want to eat well and be full.
