Xi'an is a thousand-year-old ancient capital where modernity and history and culture coexist, and there are countless delicacies...but there are also many "pitfalls" when visiting Xi'an for the first time. Remember to avoid these minefields.

1. It is recommended to rent a bicycle to visit Xi’an City Wall to save time and effort.

2. Book tickets for the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum online. Don’t buy jade items nearby, as they are a scam for tourists.

3. It is recommended to go to Datang Everlasting City at night, as the lights are very prosperous, but remember to leave early or you will have to wait for the bus.

4. There is a musical fountain show in the North Square of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda at night.

5. There are not many tourists in the Small Wild Goose Pagoda, so you can calm down and experience the Zen charm of the temple.

6. There is no need to go up to the bell tower. It looks better when the lights are on at night.

7. Calligraphy lovers can go to the Forest of Steles.

8. Tickets for Tang Furong Garden are more expensive, and it’s more beautiful at night than during the day.

9. If you want to experience traditional culture, you can go to Gaojia Courtyard to watch shadow puppet shows.

10. Don’t believe the drivers soliciting customers near the train station. It’s more convenient to take the subway or take a taxi.

11. In spring, you can go to the Qinglong Temple ruins to see cherry blossoms.

12. If you want to meditate, you can go to the small and quiet Xingjiao Temple, where the relics of Master Xuanzang are located.

13. Xingqinggong Park is a good place for a spring outing in the city. In spring, there are green trees and flowers everywhere, which is suitable for taking pictures and relaxing.

14. If you want to experience Xi’an’s market life, you can go to Xicang, the Flower, Bird and Fish Market.

15. Xi’an three-piece set: Bingfeng soda, Liangpi, and Roujiamo (Xi’an Roujiamo can be stuffed with anything).

16. There are also must-visit delicacies: mutton steamed buns, spicy meatball soup, mutton in a basin, barbecue with small bamboo skewers, gourd head, fried noodles, and steamed noodles.

17. It is not recommended to eat delicious food in Huimin Street and Yongqingfang. It does not count the authentic Xi’an taste and is only for tourists.

18. There are many old snack bars in Sajinqiao, Dapiyuan and Dongmou City.

19. Choose accommodation near the Bell Tower and Datang Evernight City, which has convenient transportation and is close to attractions.

20. There are many special B&Bs in Xi’an where you can experience the local cultural atmosphere.
