How should I travel to Xi'an

My husband and I throughout the tour of Xi'an is 6 days, self-guided tours, before doing some homework on the Internet, feel that it is still very necessary, we chose to always live in the same hotel, so with the computer, every night back to prepare for the next day's itinerary, more modern well, huh, convenient and practical. We two people all spend in the RMB5500 - RMB5700 between, because the departure time with a lot of change, no specific count too clear! I hope that my travelogue, which can also be called a guide to Xi'an friends ready to go to help.

Day 1: Beijing - Xi'an

Giant Wild Goose Pagoda - Small Wild Goose Pagoda - Bell Tower - Drum Tower - City Wall Lights. -Drum Tower - City Wall Lantern Festival

8:00am flight, 9:50am arrival at Xianyang International Airport, (airfare 300RMB+100RMB infrastructure and fuel/person). Take the airport bus (25RMB/person) to the Bell Tower. I booked on Ctrip the Zhonglou Speed 8 Hotel is less than 5 minutes walk from the airport bus stop, (169RMB/day for a king-size bed room for more than two consecutive days, discounted to February 28, the rate for March 1 is 188RMB), after checking in, went to the east side of the hotel on the street of Zhubashi City to eat the meat buns and Liangpi of Fanji Laji Pork, the taste is very good, that is, the meat is not a lot of meat, what we ordered is still high quality Meat sandwich (there are three grades, ordinary, lean, quality, I observed, they local people usually eat ordinary, while tourists basically eat quality), but cold skin is really good.

After lunch we took a bus to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda Scenic Area at the Bell Tower, in Xi'an to play with enough change is a must, the bus is unmanned, on the bus there are one dollar and two dollars, so it is recommended to prepare about a hundred dollars in change, spend it convenient. The entire scenic area can be divided into three parts, North Square, Daci'en Temple (is the Big Wild Goose Pagoda), South Square. We only played on the day of the North Square and the Great Ci'en Temple, the North Square on the musical fountain should look at, is also considered to be a more famous point of Xi'an, usually open at 12 noon and 8:30 pm, the weekend is 12 noon, 2:00 p.m., 4:00 p.m., 6:00 p.m., 8:30 p.m.. Daci'en Temple is a must-see attractions, (tickets RMB25 / person, student tickets RMB20), play in Xi'an need to pay attention to is that the scenic area ticket price is based on the off-season and peak season to charge, before March 1 is the off-season, we are just rushed in the peak season a few days before the attractions will be spending money to play, to save some money, there is a student ID card and military officer's card and so on must take, but not all attractions can be discounted half-price! Many of them are only discounted a little bit, some attractions such as student ID cards are useless. Into the Daci'en Temple after climbing the tower need to pay another twenty. We did not climb the tower, because the tower is nothing special worth visiting, the selling point of the tower is that it is Xuanzang personally supervised the tower, so only look at the appearance seems to be okay. Other buildings within the temple, etc. are worth taking pictures of. Because the South Square is relatively close to the Datang Hibiscus Garden, with the neighborhood of Datang Nocturnal City in the middle, we toured the South Square and Datang Hibiscus Garden together.

From the Big Wild Goose Pagoda out of the North Square intersection to take a bus to the Small Wild Goose Pagoda, we did not go in to the park, because it does not feel worth it, do not want to tour this attraction, so outside to see a little bit on the way out, suggest that this attraction, if not the time and money are very rich, do not have to go in to see the big Wild Goose Pagoda and then look at the Small Wild Goose Pagoda feel that I want to be my ticket money is not worth it.

Take the bus back to the Bell Tower, the Bell Tower is in the middle of the intersection, do not know how to get in, just at the intersection of the photo some pictures, is also considered to have come.

Walking back to the hotel to recuperate, the evening to the Drum Tower behind the snack street to eat Rongshengxiang's beef bologna, mutton steamed buns and fried cold noodles, as well as sour plum soup, the price is very cheap, a ****RMB44, the taste is also okay, that is, mutton steamed buns, this thing ate too much hair greasy.

Just before the first month of the fifteenth, Xi'an's city wall lanterns will be very famous, so take the bus to the city wall, (tickets RMB40/person, we went to the right, because the next day to the first month of the fifteenth price is eighty!) The city wall lanterns will be very spectacular, can see a lot of things, compared to Beijing's lanterns or something is simply not comparable, if it is during the Spring Festival to play should come to visit more of these similar lanterns, fireworks and other activities with a festive atmosphere, and the feeling that the atmosphere of the Spring Festival in the field than the capital is a lot of rich and a lot more.

At 11 o'clock the end of the light show, a taxi back to the hotel in the Bell Tower.

The next day: Xi'an

Huaqing Pond--Qin Mausoleum Palace--Terracotta Warriors and Horses--Datang Hibiscus Garden

Departure at 8:30 a.m., take bus 201 to the train station. Bus 201 to the train station, walk a little way to transfer to the "tour 5 road", near the train station there are a lot of hustling private cars, can not be done, do not be too far away, walk a few more steps to the state-run tour 5 road station, the vehicle is large, driving safety and time to and from the security. Take the bus to Huaqing Pond, (tickets RMB40 / person, student tickets RMB20), the splendid culture of the Tang Dynasty all of a sudden in front of the eyes, a lot of worthy of taking pictures of the sites, there can be hot springs place, not enough time in the hot springs hand-washing pools and foot-washing pools to enjoy a little bit of it, inside of the Tang Huaqing Palace Museum is very little to see and learn a lot of things, pictures and exhibitions in kind have, there are also many Mr. Guo Moruo's handwriting, inside the dragon chair and costumes are free to provide you with a photo, do not be embarrassed, and you do not have to be polite, huh! Various hot spring pools have sites of the introduction, if you do not feel expensive, you can hire a private tour guide, after all, people say three points to see seven points to speak is also reasonable, we did not spend money on a tour guide, but to each attraction has a tour group to hire a guide to explain loudly, or private hire a guide to speak loud enough so that we can hear, save a large amount of money, but don't always follow a listen, more than a few changes, and anyway, speak! The content is pretty much the same, and every attraction after that is generic!

Out of the Huaqing Pond in front of the station to continue to take the tour 5 road, to the Qin mausoleum palace, (tickets RMB15/person, no student tickets) Qin mausoleum palace is a simulation of the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang's attractions, the real Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang was not open, here is to understand the real appearance of the Qin mausoleum, and which is not well known to everyone, the Qin mausoleum palace is a free explanation, but if you are the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang and this history is very well known words this station is the first time that you can see the Mausoleum, the first time you can see it, you can also see it. This station can be omitted if you know a lot about the history of the mausoleum and Qin Shi Huang.

Continue to take the tour 5 road, arrived at the Terracotta Warriors, Terracotta Warriors door with KFC, convenient and hygienic, (Terracotta Warriors tickets are RMB65/person, student tickets are RMB35), in order to save energy and time, we chose to take the battery car from the ticket office to the Terracotta Warriors door, it is really far away, to walk to ten minutes, when we came out of the car, walking out of the car. Terracotta Warriors museum is very good, there are many treasures on display, bronze carriages and horses, terracotta figures, etc. There are also a lot of physical pictures, three terracotta pits of the first pit to see the biggest point of view, but also a variety of atlases marking the role of the Terracotta Warriors picture of the original site, where to see a lot of foreigners to visit, you can take pictures, the narrator told a good story, terracotta pits by the side of the picture is also very detailed. Out of the Terracotta Warriors on the way back to the station there are a lot of small stores selling souvenirs, we bought a bronze carriages and horses framed display, fifteen dollars.

Take the 307 road, the Terracotta Warriors direct to the Datang Furong Park, this route is really not good, do not take the highway, enough to use nearly two hours, must choose to take the highway car round trip, more than one time to interchange are good, on the road delay not to say, but also suffer. More than five o'clock in the afternoon to arrive at the Tang Hibiscus Garden, (tickets RMB68 / person, student tickets RMB61), the Tang Hibiscus Garden is a modern construction of a full imitation of the Tang-style complex, although not the historical legacy, but can be viewed very high, the building is very simple and sophisticated, pavilions and pavilions, corridors and towers are all available, after dark, there is a whole garden lights, the Spring Festival period there are performances, very exciting, there are dancing dragons! Steel flowers, fireworks show, the most valuable is, also saw a water screen movie Asia's largest, the effect is good! So it's a good deal to visit during the Spring Festival.

From the Datang Hibiscus Garden out, all the way on foot, passing through the Datang Night City and the Big Wild Goose Pagoda South Square, until the Big Wild Goose Pagoda North Square is already more than nine o'clock in the evening, only to eat dinner, in the North Square on the east side of the Fukko Fukushi ate Shaanxi specialties gourd chicken and biang biang noodles, rice skin, the price is inexpensive, the taste is relatively good, there are also shadow puppets and puppets on the second floor of the show for free, you can free to experience the culture of Shaanxi. The second floor also has a shadow puppet show and a free show with puppets, so you can experience the culture of Shaanxi for free.

Take a taxi back to your hotel in Bell Tower.

Day 3: Xi'an

Day Tour: Mount Hua

Since the tourism development around Xi'an is not very perfect, and it may be the monopoly of the industry, there is only one bus from Xi'an to Mount Hua every day, so you may not be able to catch up with the time when you go to the city, not to mention the time when you come back from Mount Hua in the evening, and there is no time and vehicle guarantee at all, so we chose to report a day tour. So we chose to enroll in a one-day tour, must choose the regular tour company, we are in the drum tower side of the Xi'an Tourism Company enrollment. (RMB230/person, including all items except meals).

At 7:00 am, the tour guide called us in the morning and informed us that he would pick us up at 7:45 am at the entrance of the Yintai Department Store, an obvious building next to the hotel we were staying at. There is an interesting thing about Xi'an tours, which is that they will pick up each member of the group one by one in the morning, because we all live in different places, so they will notify you in advance of the place where they will be picking you up and dropping you off. We rushed to the McDonald's across the road to buy breakfast and pack lunch before 7:45, because we didn't know what we could eat at noon, and we didn't know about the lunch arrangement, so we bought two extra burgers just in case. The tour bus came to pick us up on time, and after receiving us, we picked up another busload of tour members one after another, after which we officially drove to Huashan.

The journey from Xi'an to Huashan takes about 2 hours, and because the tour company arranged a display of medicinal herbs, there was a delay, every tour group has this link, after all, it is the need to prosper the local economy, you can just listen to not buy. Near noon when we arrived at the foot of Mount Hua, the guide arranged in a local restaurant to eat, food is very general, will be able to eat, we ordered two dishes and two bowls of rice, in order to the afternoon's energy or all eaten, but there are still two small hamburgers in the bag back up, huh. Because the tour group time is fixed, so we were arranged is the cable car up and down, cable car to the North Peak, and then back to the mountain before 5:00 in the tour bus, ready for the return trip. This results in not being able to climb the whole mountain on your own, and not a lot of time, we figured, 1:20 to start doing the ropeway up the mountain, ten minutes to the North Peak, and then climb up to 3:30 at the most, you have to return back, and the concept of three and a half is that the downhill must be all the way down, and can not be too much to stop to rest.

Huashan deserves to be one of the five famous mountains, just look at the scenery at the bottom of the mountain has felt very lofty, very spectacular. We climbed all the way to the West Peak in the specified time, and then down the mountain, my physical strength is not very good, so only reached the West Peak on the mountain, my husband's physical strength is not bad and is a mountain climber, so he felt that in fact, you can still go up to the peak of a peak. The wind at the top of the mountain is very strong, it is recommended that you prepare thick clothes, and to wear a hat, on personal health is a great protection. Huashan mountain scenery is very beautiful, there is a feeling of standing on top of the mountains, good!

Initially, our itinerary is 4 days, so in the Huashan is only arranged for one day, but just when we are almost to the Huashan, my husband's leadership notified him that he does not need to be so anxious to go to work, you can play for two more days to come back, but we have been too late to modify the travel itinerary of the Huashan, I feel that one day to play the Huashan is too intense, whether for people who prefer to climb the mountain or people who like the scenery. It is recommended that if you have more time, you may wish to come to the Huashan two-day tour, better, live in the mountains, although it is not very cheap, but the night to live on the top of the mountain, listening to the sound of the whistling wind is also a good feeling, and there are people who like to climb at night, but also good, save accommodation, but also can see the sunrise! ~~ All worth considering.

The time to return to the city in the evening is nearly 9:00 pm, really do not have the physical strength to look for good food, so in the city of Zhuba Wei Jia Liangpi ate meat buns and Liangpi, the flavor is authentic.

Back to the hotel to shower and sleep.

Day 4: Xi'an

Day trip: Qianling First Village - Prince Yi De's Tomb - Qianling Mausoleum - Famen Temple

Or for the same reason. For the same reason, we also chose to report a day trip to this string of tourist attractions, (RMB262/person, this is the price of the student card and does not include the price of meals)

And the previous day is basically the same itinerary, pick up at 7:45 a.m., and then change the car out of the city. The disadvantages of the group tour I summarize as, one, time is tight, heavy task. Second, mixed with some places you do not want to go, and these places are expensive tickets, and can not use the student card or something. Third, the travel is not very free, want to see can not see overtime, do not want to see not see not. For example, the first village of Qianling Mausoleum, that is, when the construction of the Qianling Mausoleum when those workers live in the place, I personally think that there is no value of visiting, the ticket price seems to be thirty, very depressing.

The tomb of Prince Yi De is actually very small, only the coffin is the original, other things, national treasures in Shaanxi History Museum, cultural value in the tomb on the side of the small exhibition hall, the tomb and the mausoleum in the humidity and turbid gas is very heavy, friends with rhinitis must wear masks, I just do not have to wear, the results of rhinitis induced otitis media, which is called a difficult. The guide arranged for us to eat in a restaurant in the tomb of Prince Yi De, we chose a fast food, rice and fried vegetables, a little better than the foot of Mount Hua, there is a small chicken legs! ~~~

The Qianling Mausoleum and the Famen Temple are places we'd like to visit more often, but we can't have a good time with the group, the Qianling Mausoleum we only visited for forty minutes, the tomb area didn't go, and the tour guide didn't recommend us to go because of the foggy weather, it's a bit of a shame, but the Qianling Mausoleum's stone carvings and monuments are very good, it's worthwhile to remember, but remember to take a picture of the tombs and the mausoleum, and try to take a picture of the things, don't take a picture of people, and then take a picture of the tomb. Things are good, do not take pictures of people and things in the tomb together, Qianling Mausoleum in the explanation, is arranged by the group, is very good, can exhaustive explanation about the entire history of the Qianling Mausoleum story, after all, we chose to go to Xi'an is to want to have a good understanding of the history and culture of ancient China, so if you are also like the history of the, then be sure to follow closely to the explanation, because there are some people are very unselfconscious, do not listen to themselves but also speak loudly, make you I can't hear you clearly either.

Famen Temple original site is actually not very large, but the new Heshi Shariputra super large, the door of the gate building is very grand, a little bit of the Beijing Museum of History of the tall feeling, but unconsciously feel less aura of the temple, more grandeur. Famen Temple tour is divided into a ten stupa, the old site of Famen Temple, Famen Temple Treasure Hall three parts, I personally still prefer the Treasure Hall, many of the treasures inside are national cultural relics, you can have a good feast for the eyes. The old site of the Famen Temple is for the incense burners and believers to burn incense worship place, the building has been old, but can also feel the heyday of the Tang Dynasty as the royal temple of the mighty. The Heshi Relic Pagoda is the place where the Buddha's finger relics unearthed from the Famen Temple are stored, which is tall, gorgeous and of high ornamental value.

The evening back to the city about 7:00, because the day is the first month of the fifteenth, the field of the first month of the fifteenth before the festive atmosphere is very strong, I heard that the Big Wild Goose Pagoda North Square has a musical fountain of the special activities, the Datang Hibiscus Garden also has a fireworks show, so we went to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda North Square, but due to the road to take the car ride back, the result is that the time to arrive is already very late to walk to the Datang Hibiscus Garden is too late, so give up the previous idea! The first time I saw the fountain was in the middle of the night, and it was a very good time to see the fountain, so I had to go to the north square to eat the special Shaanxi dishes at the Fukkafu Kitchen.

Day 5: Xi'an

Hotel rest - Big Wild Goose Pagoda North Square musical fountain

This day's arrangement is really helpless, because the free travel every day to stay and what the cost is not small, the reason for the day of leisure is: Shaanxi Museum of History is closed on Monday, if you want to go to the friends must pay attention to! Time schedule, do not arrange the history museum visit on Monday. As many days of compact arrangements, my physical strength is not, this day is to sleep to wake up naturally, and then come out to eat, my husband ate is the Gulou west of the Hui Min snack street of the old Liu family beef and mutton steamed buns. There is said to be very authentic, the husband ate with relish, I do not feel particularly delicious, because I think the whole of Xi'an lamb are a little bit nasty! Not very suitable for my taste, eat less into, eat more I can not stand.

After dinner, I went back to my room to take a nap, woke up and set off to the North Square of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda to see the musical fountain, which is actually nothing special, but I feel that if you come here, you have to see it.

Dinner is still in the Fukko Fukko eat, we a *** to come six days and five nights, in the Fukko Fukko ate three dinners, enough to say that there is quite good food.

Sixth day: Xi'an - Beijing

Shaanxi History Museum

Shaanxi History Museum is to Xi'an must go to the place, it is free of charge, take the valid documents for the ticket, the opening time you can look at its official website, winter and summer time is not the same, the invoice of time is also The opening hours can be found on the official website, and the invoicing time is also different in winter and summer. In the Museum of History, please explain is very necessary, in the face of so many so old artifacts, many of which you simply can not understand the culture and production process, the Museum of History used to explain the headset receiver, so want to rub the other side of the explanation of the attractions as before it is not feasible, unless there is a tour group, their tour guide explains the time of the sound of the big, but also can be rubbed, but in order to such an important But for such an important cultural attraction, we still hired a private narrator. The invoices after the explanation remember to scratch the prize ah, I won 5 dollars, huh?

The afternoon flight back to Beijing.

The whole arrangement is tight before and after the loose, back to Beijing the next day after the husband went to work, did not feel very tired, this is also the result of our hope that this arrangement.

Total of Xi'an after such a play down, and then there is no plan to come back, after all, China is too big, can be every fun place to play once will need a lot of years, so be sure to have fun, I hope that my travels to help you, not the right place please correct and understand.
