This place is under the city wall and is full of historical charm accumulated over the years.

The streets here are connected with each other, hiding the most real and vivid life of the old Xi'an people.

This is not a tourist area, but you can stop and go for a day or two without getting bored.

There are also all kinds of delicacies that locals like here.

This is Xi’an’s “Anding Gate”.

A place that locals take for granted but outsiders don’t understand.

Anding Gate, also known as "Ximen" to Xi'an people, is one of the 18 gates in the Xi'an city wall.

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it was the central gate "Shunyi Gate" to the west of Chang'an Imperial City.

When the city of Xi'an was expanded during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, this city gate was used and renamed "Anding Gate".

Anding Gate is a city gate comparable in scale to the South Gate of Xi'an, with well-preserved urns, arrow towers and towers.

Every day, countless cars and pedestrians pass through the city gates on both sides of Anding Gate. It is busy and busy.

Andingmen is not only a city gate, but also one of the few areas in Xi'an that still retains the flavor of the old city.

Because it is located in the Xi'an City Wall Scenic Area, the scenery here is beautiful and full of classical charm.

And because Andingmen is an old residential area with countless old alleys, it exudes a strong atmosphere of life and is very down-to-earth.

Huang Xiaohuang recently stayed for two nights near Andingmen. When I had some free time during the day, I went to roam the streets. I was fascinated by this place and made many new discoveries.

This is quite magical, you know, I am already an old resident of Chang'an City.

I have sorted out the fun of living in Andingmen into 6 items. Let’s see if you are interested: 1. Climb the city wall from Andingmen. You can climb the city wall from Andingmen. There is also a ticket gate here. Because of its low popularity, tourists who come here

There are relatively few, and you can feel the majesty of the city wall in a calm and leisurely manner.

Did you know that the "Anding Gate" on the Xi'an City Tower was written by Zhang Fenghui, the first governor of Shaanxi Province.

There is also an old well under the old locust tree in Ximen Wengcheng, which was the most famous sweet water well in Xi'an in the past - "Ximen Big Well".

2. Visit the Ring City Park. The City Ring Park is so beautiful and fun that many people will overlook that in ancient times, this area composed of moats and city walls was actually an important part of the city defense system.

Today, there is a tall and majestic city wall on the left, rippling blue moat on the right, small bridges, flowing water, and lush trees. Retired elderly people have nothing to do here to play table tennis, exercise, feed fish, watch ducks, and sing Qin opera. Compared with young people, they stay at home.

Scanning your phone is much more enjoyable.

3. Walk around Nanmadao Alley and Beimadao Alley. Outside the city wall of Xi'an is the City Ring Park, and inside the city wall is "Shuncheng Alley". Shuncheng Alley in different areas has different names.

In Andingmen, the Shuncheng Alley in the north is called "Beimadao Alley" and the Shuncheng Alley in the south is called "Nanmadao Alley".

The name is also easy to understand. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, this was an alley where officers and soldiers stationed in the city raced horses.

The names of South and North Madaoxiang are nice, but they don’t mean much anymore because they have become vehicle roads.

However, with the background of the city wall, it is very suitable for literary and artistic young people to shoot beautiful travel blockbusters.

4. Visit the alleys. This is Huang Xiaohuang’s favorite part. The alleys are the richest in content, because they are full of small shops and full of people.

Near Andingmen, especially inside the city wall, are the old residential areas of Xi'an. In the south are Luotuo Lane, Xiajia Shizi, Chaijia Shizi, East Bangzi Street, West Bangzi Street, Caikengan, etc.

In the north there are Dongjuyuan Lane, Xijuyuan Lane, Zaoci Lane, Xiangmi Garden, etc.

Huang Xiaohuang has been living in the northern area of ????Andingmen for the past two days, close to Huifang, where the "old Xi'an flavor" is particularly strong.

After twisting and turning through Xijuyuan Lane and Dongjuyuan Lane, I entered a "Xinsi Lane", and suddenly there was a different world, as if I had traveled back to ancient times.
