Stay at the Qinmian Hotel (two stars) in the city center for 150 yuan/room including breakfast. It feels very good. I highly recommend it, but you need to book it in advance. Other tips: 1. Come out of Daci'en Temple and walk through the newly completed North Square of Big Wild Goose Pagoda. There is Asia's largest music and light fountain, which is magnificent. Opening hours are Monday to Friday: 12:00, 20:00; Saturday, Sunday and holidays: 10:00, 12:00, 14:00, 16:00, 18:00, 20:00. It is recommended to go at night to enjoy Asia's largest music and light fountain. 2. You can buy rubbings at the stalls outside the Forest of Steles. The price difference between buying rubbings inside and outside the Forest of Steles is two zeros. The paintings and calligraphy scratched outside the Forest of Steles cost 5-15 yuan before being mounted. It’s quite cheap, and it’s great to buy as a gift. It would be more cost-effective to have it framed, the price is only about 30 yuan. It takes 2 hours to get it mounted locally. No matter where you get it mounted in Shanghai, the price is probably not very cheap. It is most convenient to buy it mounted. 3. In addition to antique carriages that can be used to visit various scenic spots in the Qianling Scenic Area, you can also visit on horseback. Qianxian County, 3 kilometers away from Qianling Mausoleum, is famous for its Guokui, dried noodles and tofu curd, which are regarded as the "Three Wonders of Qianxian County". 4. It is best to go to the Xi'an City Wall in the evening. The city wall is very beautiful in the evening, especially in places with few people. It is very nice to stand on the wide and simple city wall. And because there are no shading facilities above. 5. Photography is prohibited in the underground palace of Famen Temple. There will be many locals in front of the Famen Temple, selling amulets that have been licensed and cost 10 yuan for 4 to 6 photos. 6. There is nothing to see in the Epang Palace ruins because it has been burned down long ago. 7. The west route (the next day's journey) is far, so you must arrive early for the trip. The most suitable time is between 7:30-8:30 in the morning. Returning to the city center is usually around 19:00 in the evening. 8. The transportation on the western route is inconvenient and the scenic spots are scattered. It is best to charter a car yourself or contact a travel agency. The state-run Tour 2 and Tour 3 to the Western Route depart at 7:30 in the morning. If you rent a car by yourself, it costs 200 yuan to rent a van for a round trip, and 400 yuan to rent a taxi. There are special tourist buses at the train station. You can choose to go or not to the attractions on the way. The final fee will be settled based on the ticket price. 9. Any place where you stay in Xi'an can provide travel services for the East-West Line, which eliminates the need for round-trip fares and round-trip transportation. There will be a car to pick you up in the morning. First go to the train station to pick up tourists from all over the place, and then drive when the seats are full; or you can arrange a car to pick up the guests staying in various hotels, and then the trains will depart uniformly. You can choose to go or not to the attractions on the way, and the final fee will be settled based on the ticket price. 10. There are no villages in front of the Western Route, no shops in the back, and you can't buy anything to eat. It's best to bring some dry food by yourself. The place where the tour guide arranges to have lunch is also more expensive. 11. There are hot spring baths near Huaqing Pool, ranging from 20 yuan to 40 yuan. They are all privately contracted, so remember to bargain. You can wash your hands in the hot springs in Huaqing Pool for 1 yuan/person. The ticket includes a souvenir photo, don't forget to take a photo and shrink it with your old ticket. The third stop: Bingjian Pavilion 12. Lishan Cableway: 40 yuan; Lishan Forest Park: 30 yuan. 13. There are always many tourists in the Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum, so it is not a problem to get a tour guide. The bronze chariots and horses are more worth seeing, don’t miss them. There are a lot of cheap fruits outside the Terracotta Warriors and Horses. You can buy some persimmons and pomegranates. Remember, the boxed Terracotta Warriors and Horses sold by vendors outside the Terracotta Warriors and Horses gate are 2~3 yuan/box. 14. East Line Travel Tips § The East Line has concentrated attractions and convenient transportation, so there is no need to join a group. § Take 306 (Travel 5) from the China Post Office of Jiefang Hotel opposite the train station for 5 yuan one way and 8 yuan round trip (you can take it at You can get on and off at will between scenic spots), you can take it countless times on the same day, the operating hours are 8:00 in the morning - 6:00 in the evening; §Package rental on the east line is 80-150 yuan§The tourist attractions on the east line, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang and the Mausoleum of King Qin, are very worth visiting. Huaqing Pool is average. If you have time, you can visit the famous Banpo ruins. There are many places to eat at the entrance of Huaqing Pool. There is only a small beach near the Qin Dynasty Mausoleum where you can eat jelly.

You can have lunch at the entrance of Huaqing Pool~~~ To give you a rough idea, Xi'an's food circle can be roughly divided as follows: In the city: Bell Tower Food Street. Located in the most prosperous area of ??Xi'an, many time-honored famous restaurants are gathered here. Defachang Dumpling Restaurant and Tongshengxiang Restaurant in Bell and Drum Tower Square, Xi'an Restaurant, Laosunjia Restaurant, Wuyi Hotel, Chunfa Restaurant, Xi'an Roast Duck Restaurant on East Street, each of the old restaurants seems to be telling a story. An old story. Beef and mutton steamed buns, Baiyunzhang dumplings, Jia Sanguan soup dumplings, Huanggui persimmon cakes, steamed pork with rice flour, mutton cakes, roasted mutton, and sauce-braised products make people unforgettable. The Muslim Street next to the Drum Tower is even more unique. These small shops are either opened along the street or placed on the side of the road. Although the decoration is not luxurious and the furnishings are very simple, the taste is very authentic and the ingredients used in the cooking are very authentic. Sophisticated. Food is the most important thing in Xi'an.
