It is better to stay in Bell Tower, in the city center, where travel is convenient. In the east alley next to Bell Tower Kaiyuan Mall, there is Wenshang Hotel and East Asia Hotel. East Asia Hotel has standard rooms ranging from 100 to 180 in different sizes.

There are many famous snacks in Xi'an, such as mutton steamed buns, gourd heads, meat buns, cold skin, etc. The steamed buns should be eaten from Lao Sun's or Tong Shengxiang's, and the gourd heads should be eaten from Chunshao. To add steamed buns, you need to eat Fan Ji, the cold skin is basically the same. In addition, in the Drum Tower Alley to the west of the Bell Tower, there is a Xi'an Hui snack street open 24 hours a day. The most famous ones are Jia San Guan Tang Baozi, red sauerkraut and shredded pork fried rice, and Ma Yongxin There are all kinds of national snacks such as Huanggui persimmon cakes and other barbecued meats. You will have endless aftertaste after walking around.

The snacks mentioned above represent the food culture of Xi'an. In addition, if you want to know where you are staying, it will be a few minutes' walk from the above place. It can be found on the map.

I think we should stay at the East Asia Hotel. Room 120 in the back building is quiet. It is right outside the Rome Commercial Pedestrian Street and Kaiyuan Mall, mainly in the city center and on East Street.

The most important thing to remember: you must book in advance, otherwise it is difficult to say whether the room is available. Sorry, I don’t have a website for the above places.

Places to play: I recommend the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and the North and South Squares are both good. Asia's No. 1 Stone and Musical Fountain Square, with good scenery and facilities, as well as Xingqing Park, Lianhu Park, Revolutionary Park, etc., are free of charge. In terms of history, the Shaanxi Provincial History Museum has just implemented free of charge, but reservations are required. There is also the Silk City in the west of the city. The sculptures at the starting point of the road also have a historical and cultural background. You can also take the Second Ring Road to see the modern urban construction achievements of the ancient city. In addition, the antique buildings on West Street and around the South Gate, including the Academy Gate, are worth visiting. After visiting the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, You can also go to the Tang Dynasty Furong Garden. It’s best to go at night. The lighting and water screen movies are good but the tickets are a little expensive

The specific points are:

Let’s talk about the most representative things in Xi’an first. Tourist route - the east route (which is Lintong County, 45 kilometers away from Xi'an, with scenic spots such as the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, Huaqing Pool, etc., because it is to the east of Xi'an, so it is commonly known as the east route):

Let's talk about transportation first, you can take a bus No. 306 tourist line, the fare is 8 yuan/person. It is best to go to Huaqing Pool first (ticket is 70, half price with student ID card, half price with senior ID card for 65 years old, free for 70 years old), because the Terracotta Warriors and Horses is the terminal station, and you can get a seat at the Terracotta Warriors and Horses. , after watching Huaqing Pool, if you are interested, you can go to Lishan Mountain to see Bingjian Pavilion, which is the place where Chiang Kai-shek was captured.

After watching it, I changed to eat Chinese food. Haha, if you want to eat well and inexpensively, go to the county seat Go to the streets and find a place where there are many local people to eat, it will be cheaper and more affordable.

After eating, we went to see the Terracotta Warriors and Horses (tickets are 90 yuan, half price with student ID card, half price with seniority ID card for those aged 65 and 70, free of charge). You have to prepare for an afternoon here, otherwise you will not be sorry for the 90 yuan/person. Tickets, be sure to look carefully. Other attractions include Lintong Museum (ticket 24 yuan), Lishan Bingjian Pavilion (ticket 45 yuan), Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang (ticket 40 yuan), and Qinling Underground Palace (ticket 15 yuan). These attractions depend on your personal interests and your pocket. It’s money, haha, you can make your own decision, anyway, if you want to see it, it’s all on your way.

If you want to be comfortable, you can also charter a car. Taxi usually costs 120-150, or you can find a hotel and contact the local travel agency.

Otherwise, just join a travel agency’s individual group tour. The fare ranges from 20 to 35. In fact, they are all the same cars. It just depends on your negotiating skills and who you are looking for. Generally speaking, Hotels are expensive, so it’s cheapest to go directly to a travel agency. However, the disadvantage of breaking up a group is that you have to see a lot of attractions, you are short on time, and you have to go to a shopping store. The advantage is that you don’t have to worry. They will pick you up at your door, so you don’t have to find a car yourself.

Itinerary - Attractions in Xi'an: Big Wild Goose Pagoda (25 yuan, an additional 20 yuan for climbing the tower) - Big Wild Goose Pagoda North Square (free) - Shaanxi History Museum (50 yuan) - Forest of Steles (45 yuan) - Guanzhong Academy (free) - Xi'an Ancient City Wall (40 yuan) - Bell Tower (20 yuan) - Drum Tower (20 yuan) - Muslim Street (free) - Huajue Lane Grand Mosque (12 yuan)

First stop : "The symbol of Xi'an" - Big Wild Goose Pagoda (Da Ci'en Temple)

Opening hours: 8:00-19:00; Tour time: about 1 hour

Full name: "Ci'en Temple" "Big Wild Goose Pagoda", the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is located in the Great Ci'en Temple. It was first built in 652 AD. According to legend, Master Xuanzang (Tang Sanzang), the first abbot of Ci'en Temple, came back from Tianzhu (now India) to enshrine and store Sanskrit texts. He personally designed and supervised the construction of classics and Buddhist relics.

The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is a pavilion-style brick tower with a height of more than 64 meters, a base side of 25 meters, seven floors in total, and a square pyramid body. The whole tower is made of polished bricks with joints, and the brick walls show prisms, which can clearly separate the wall bays. There are also scenic spots such as Qujiang Pool, Xingyuan and Leyouyuan nearby. In recent years, due to factors such as the urban environment of Xi'an, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda has tilted by more than 1 meter. Climb to the seventh floor and you can overlook the city of Xi'an.

Transportation: Take bus No. 5, No. 19, No. 21, and No. 610 to get there. A taxi from the Bell Tower costs about 14 yuan.

Food

It is best not to eat near the train station. In the past, the food there could only be described as a waste of food. However, things have changed slightly now. If you really want to eat at the train station, I personally recommend a few places, first of all, the Silver Lake Snack City located to the west of the station exit, the Snack City in Jiefang Hotel, California Beef Noodles across the square, and Haoxiang Lai Chinese and Western food on the first floor of the Diamond Hotel, although they are a bit more expensive. But at least the prices are clearly marked and no one is trying to rip off customers. In the city center, it is recommended to eat something on the Gulou snack street next to the mosque, such as Jia Sanguan soup dumplings, Pingwa barbecue, fried rice with red pickled cabbage, etc. However, before eating, you should make clear your requirements, such as whether you want chili, etc. And you have to adapt to the habit of people here talking loudly, like they are quarreling. Of course, many people here are like this. At the same time, please note that most of the restaurants here are halal, so you need to respect folk customs. Note: The steamed buns here are divided into beef and mutton, and the barbecues are also different in large and small skewers, so the prices are also different. Don't ask for too much when you eat, the portions here are generally larger.

Recommended: Laosunjia Mutton Soup (there are stores on East Street and East Gate), Laohuangjia Mutton Soup (outside the West Gate), Tongshengxiang Mutton Soup (Zhonggulou Square), Spring Gourd Tou (next to Fenxiang) Tumen No.1 Bowl's Hulutou (Tumen), Fanji Roujiamo (Zhuba City) Qinyu Roujiamo, Wang Kui and Wang Heng's Roujiamo are also good. Yongming Qishan Noodles (Nanshaomen and Laodong South Road), Defa Chang Dumplings (Bell and Drum Tower Square), Jiefang Road Dumplings (Jiefang Road), Xuejia Rice Noodles (many branches). These are all specialty snacks, in fact, Xi’an’s specialty There are many more. As long as you are in the city, you may want to try some snacks. Xi'an's high-end restaurants are mostly concentrated in the East Street, Chang'an South Road and South Second Ring Road.
