The first trick is to watch out for black cars and black tour guides
Near Xi 'an Railway Station, many people attract tourists under the banner of coaches going to various tourist attractions. These people are enthusiastic on the surface, but in fact they have hidden "black hearts". If you are not careful, you will fall into the situation of being slaughtered, and the mood of traveling will definitely be greatly affected.
CMB, which is privately operated near Xi 'an Railway Station and heading for the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, only charges 15 yuan the fare when getting on the bus, but it will make you pay more than 1 yuan for the tour. Cry up wine and sell vinegar.
Other considerations:
1. Accommodation. You'd better book a hotel in advance before coming. If you don't make a reservation, ask in advance about the convenience of accommodation there;
2. the problem of eating. In Xi 'an, if you want to eat delicious, affordable and authentic snacks, you can go to the Huifang behind the Drum Tower. However, don't eat gourd heads at food stalls, which is very unsanitary. If you want to eat gourd heads, go to a special store. If you go to tourist attractions, especially remote scenic spots, such as Ganling, it is best to bring delicious food in advance, or even eat instant noodles in small shops there, don't eat in restaurants in scenic spots, and a bowl of boiled noodles costs 15 yuan;
3. Traffic problems. Travel by car, stagger the peak hours of commuting, especially in urban areas, but if you report to a tour group, there is no such problem;
4. shopping problems. Shopping in the scenic spot, if it is not unusual, don't buy it, because many gadgets are sold in Huifang or small shops in Big Wild Goose Pagoda Square, and the price will be much cheaper. If you must buy it, the price should be cut at least from 3% off. If you buy jade, don't buy it in the scenic spot. Basically, there is no real thing, or it is shoddy. It is best to go back to the city and look at the bookstore door, where it will be more affordable.
5. The weather. Pay attention to the weather forecast and beware of physical discomfort;
6. Money. The consumption level in Xi 'an is not very high. Of course, the more money you bring, the more fun you can have. But when you go out on the street, you should take less cash with you, and you can swipe your card when you go to a large shopping center. In Xi 'an, no matter where you are, if you see that kind of dirty children, you must stay away. Some children in Xinjiang, even young people, should be careful not to be followed by these people, especially in crowded places where people get on and off buses, they will steal things.
