2010 Xi'an Travel Diary + Guide My husband and I spent 6 days in Xi'an on a self-guided tour. We did some homework online before, but it felt very necessary. We chose to stay in the same hotel all the time, so we brought our computers and traveled every day.
When you come back in the evening, you can prepare for the next day's itinerary. It's more modern, haha, convenient and practical.
The total cost for the two of us was between RMB5500 and RMB5700. Because we brought a lot of change when we set off, we didn’t have a clear exact number!
I hope my travel notes, which can also be called guides, will be helpful to friends who are planning to go to Xi’an.
Day 1: Beijing - Xi'an Big Wild Goose Pagoda - Small Wild Goose Pagoda - Bell Tower - Drum Tower - City Wall Lantern Festival. Flight at 8:00 in the morning and arrive at Xianyang International Airport at 9:50 (air ticket 300RMB + 100RMB infrastructure and fuel/
people).
Take the airport bus (25RMB/person) to the clock tower.
The Bell Tower Super 8 Hotel I booked on Ctrip is less than a 5-minute walk from the airport bus station. (King room with double bed for more than two consecutive days is 169 RMB/day, discounted until February 28, and the room rate on March 1 is 188 RMB)
, after checking in, we went to the Zhuba Street on the east side of the hotel to eat the Roujiamo and Liangpi from Fanji Cured Pork. The taste was very good, but there was not much meat. We still ordered the high-quality Roujiamo (in three portions)
Grades: ordinary, thin, high-quality. I observed that local people generally eat ordinary, while tourists basically eat high-quality), but Liangpi is really good.
After lunch, we took a bus from the Bell Tower to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda Scenic Area. It is necessary to bring enough change when traveling in Xi'an. There are no ticket sellers on the bus. There are one yuan and two yuan tickets on the bus, so it is recommended to prepare about a hundred yuan.
Small change is easy to spend.
The entire scenic spot can be divided into three parts, the North Square, the Daci'en Temple (the Big Wild Goose Pagoda), and the South Square.
We only visited the North Square and Daci'en Temple that day. You should check out the musical fountain in the North Square. It is also a famous point in Xi'an. The usual opening hours are 12 noon and 8:30 pm, and on weekends it is 12 noon.
o'clock, two o'clock, four o'clock, six o'clock, eight thirty.
Daci'en Temple is a must-see attraction, (ticket RMB25/person, student ticket RMB20). When traveling in Xi'an, you need to pay attention to the fact that the ticket prices for scenic spots are charged based on the off-season and peak season. Before March 1st, it is the off-season, so we happened to
I visited the expensive attractions in the first few days of the peak season and saved some money. Be sure to bring your student ID card and military ID card, but not all attractions can be discounted at half price, and many are only slightly discounted.
Yes, student ID cards for some attractions are useless.
After entering Daci'en Temple, you need to pay an additional 20 yuan to climb the tower.
We did not climb the tower because there is nothing special worth visiting in the tower. The selling point of the tower is that it is a tower built by Master Xuanzang himself, so just looking at the appearance seems to be enough.
Other buildings in the temple are worth taking pictures.
Because the South Square is relatively close to the Tang Furong Garden, and there is the Tang Dynasty Everbright City neighborhood in the middle, we visited the South Square and the Tang Furong Garden together.
After coming out of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, we took a bus at the North Square intersection to the Small Wild Goose Pagoda. We didn’t go into the park because we didn’t feel it was worth it and didn’t want to visit this attraction, so we took a look outside and left. I recommend this attraction if you don’t have the time and money.
They are all very sufficient, so there is no need to go in. After seeing the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and then the Small Wild Goose Pagoda, I felt that the ticket price was not worth it.
I took the car back to the Bell Tower. The Bell Tower is in the middle of the intersection. I didn’t know how to get in, so I took some photos at the intersection. It was considered a visit.
We walked back to the hotel to rest for a while. In the evening, we went to the snack street behind the Drum Tower to eat Rong Shengxiang’s cured beef, mutton steamed buns, fried jelly, and sour plum soup. The price was very cheap, RMB44 per piece, and the taste was pretty good.
It’s just mutton steamed buns that make you feel tired after eating too much.
It was just before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the City Wall Lantern Festival in Xi'an was very famous, so we took the bus to the city wall. (The ticket was RMB 40/person, which was a good time for us to go, because the price the next day until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month was RMB 80!) The city wall lantern festival
It is very spectacular and there are many things to see. It is simply incomparable to the lantern festivals in Beijing. If you are visiting during the Spring Festival, you should visit more of these lantern festivals, fireworks shows and other activities with a festive atmosphere, and it feels like you are from other places.
The Spring Festival atmosphere is much richer than that in Beijing.
The light show ended at 11 o'clock and we took a taxi back to the hotel in the Bell Tower.
The next day: Xi'an Huaqing Pool - Qinling Underground Palace - Terracotta Warriors - Tang Dynasty Furong Garden Departs at 8:30 in the morning, takes bus 201 to the train station, walks a while and transfers to "You 5", there are many buses near the train station
Private cars cannot be used to solicit passengers. Don’t be too far away. Walk a few more steps to the state-run No. 5 bus station. The vehicles are large and driving safety and arrival and departure time are guaranteed.
