Hangzhou-Xi’an self-guided tour recommendation!

Day 1: Arrive at Xi'an Railway Station at 7:40 in the morning and go straight to the booked hotel (we booked Xi'an Jianyuan Hotel, a three-star foreign-related hotel with a deluxe standard room, the price is 260/ Days or so) put down your luggage, bring a small bag with money, water, camera and tissues, and hold a map in hand to start the journey. We bought two maps. One was a tourist map of Xi'an bought at Chongqing Xinhua Bookstore. It had a small compass and a ballpoint pen and cost 10 yuan (very practical). The other one is the Xi'an traffic map we bought at Xi'an Railway Station for only 3 yuan. We planned to tour the city that day. The first stop we visited was the Xi'an History Museum, which was quite interesting. The ticket price was 35 yuan per person. It lasted more than two hours and my feet were weak! After coming out, we went to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. Since there were so many people during the festival, the biggest feature is that the newly built square is large enough. At this time, I suggest you take a break and visit the Forest of Steles Museum in the afternoon. The stone steles inside are worth seeing. On the way from the south gate to the museum, there are many unique local things in Xi'an that you can buy as souvenirs. Among them, the Forest of Steles The rubbings are the most worth buying. I suggest you go to the museum and buy the ones you like at the stalls. You can also bargain outside! :) The Bell Tower and Drum Tower are just iconic buildings. When we passed by, we took a few photos in the Bell Tower and Drum Tower Square but did not go up. In the evening, go to Beiyuanmen Hui Snack Street to eat grilled mutton skewers, grilled mutton tendons, grilled fish, boiled tripe, fried rice with red pickled cabbage, sour plum soup, Jia San Guan soup dumplings, and eight-treasure porridge. We recommend that you try the above foods. Plant and eat a little, but don’t eat too much. The three stores selling these items are all next to each other. They are the world's first bowl of beef and mutton steamed buns, fried rice with red pickled cabbage and Jia San Guan soup dumplings. After eating a lot of food, we walked back to the wine station, just in time to relieve our hunger. Day 2: City tour. Early in the morning, I went to the entrance of Jiefang Hotel at the train station and took the No. 306 bus to Huaqing Pool, where I can see the place where Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and Concubine Yang took a bath. If you want to ask a tour guide to explain, you can get one for only 20 yuan. It is worth mentioning that the spring water inside is very good, with a constant temperature of 43 degrees all year round. Because it rained heavily the day we went, we went straight to the Terracotta Warriors and Horses after visiting Huaqing Pool and did not go to Qin Emperor’s Mausoleum and Lishan Mountain. After arriving at the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, I looked at the No. 1, 2, and 3 pits and the exhibition hall. To be honest, I was a little heartbroken at the 90 yuan/person ticket price! :( After reading, I went back to Xi'an Jianyuan Hotel to take a rest and then went out to the famous Lao Sunjia Restaurant to eat its special dish - mutton steamed buns. Let me tell you in a low voice: the steamed buns must be small. , it is recommended that girls remove the outer layer of skin and break it off, otherwise they will not be able to eat it. The steamed buns are not suitable for the taste of southerners, but the vermicelli inside tastes okay. Day 3: Climbing Huashan Mountain. It takes two and a half hours, so you must get up early to get on the bus, prepare a pair of gloves and a hat for each person, and bring enough water! We went to the square on the east side of the train station at 8:30 in the morning and took the No. 1 bus to Huashan. The price is 18 yuan. They sell Huashan maps on the bus. It’s only 2 yuan. It’s very practical. We arrived at the foot of the mountain and waited for an hour before getting on the special car to the Huashan Cableway (we saw eggs selling. We had to buy a few more. Even 10 eggs were not enough for the two of us. Only when we got to the mountain did we realize that the eggs below were cheaper!) We waited for nearly four hours at the bottom of the ropeway before we got on the ropeway and reached the North Peak. I climbed to Wuyun Peak without stopping and booked a bed there. A bunk bed for 20 people cost 100 yuan per bed. It was cheaper because I booked it in the afternoon, but it went up to 300 yuan in the evening. Yuan! Isn’t it scary? There are so many people during the festival. I can’t help it. :| We climbed to the west peak to watch the sunset in the afternoon and saw the sun and the moon at the same time. Hui, it’s so beautiful!! After watching it, I went to Wuyunfeng to rent a cotton coat (30 yuan, you must rent it in advance, it’s 50 yuan later), and got up at 3:30 in the morning to start the journey. Please be especially careful when watching the sunrise on the peak. Visibility is extremely low at night. If you have a flashlight, it is best to bring it with you and be sure to step on it. The sunrise on May 1st is about 5:30-6:00. The monthly sunrise time is marked on the Huashan map, which is very accurate). After watching the sunrise, you can go down the mountain from the west side and take a look at the chess pavilion and the kite turn. It was too dangerous there and there was snow at that time, so we didn’t. Go down. If you still have the strength, you can go to the south peak.

We didn't go to the South Peak because we had to rush down the mountain. When we got to Jinsuo Pass at 6:45, there were already a lot of people jammed there. There was only one road up and down the mountain and it was very crowded. We waited for 30 minutes before crossing Jinsuo Pass. We went down to Wuyun Peak and had breakfast before going down the mountain (it is recommended that you just eat instant noodles on the mountain, there is nothing delicious there). It takes an hour to go down to the North Peak. You can take the cableway or take the Zhizhi Huashan Road down the mountain (estimated to take two hours). The cableway costs 110 yuan/person for a round trip and 60 yuan/person for one way. When you arrive at the lower station of the ropeway, there is a special car that can take you to the starting station of Tour 1. The cost is 20 yuan/person for a round trip and 10 yuan/person for one way. I remind everyone to keep track of the time. The No. 1 bus back to Xi'an leaves at 5:30 pm (it is said that there are other minibuses and other buses returning to Xi'an at a later time, but I have never taken one, so I don't know whether the news is true or not). We got on the bus at Huashan at 9:30 and arrived in Xi'an at 12:00 noon. After taking a nap in the hotel in the afternoon, I went out to eat at KFC in Xi'an. In the evening, I went up to the ancient city wall of Xi'an from the south gate. On the way, I bought a kite worth 3 yuan and 50 cents in the Drum Tower Square. Put it on and play. The wind is very strong. If you want to have fun, you need to buy a five-roll line! Then return to the hotel satisfied. Day 4: Because I couldn’t buy a train ticket, I had to take a flight back to Chongqing. It was very quick, only one hour away. If you are also flying, I would like to remind you that you should take the airport bus at the entrance of Meilun Hotel opposite the Drum Tower two and a half hours before the departure time. The fare is 25 yuan per person. It leaves on the hour and takes 1 hour to reach Xianyang International Airport ( You can also ask for a car from the hotel. The price we asked was Santana 120 per car). PS: Xi'an's public transportation system is very developed. There are buses to major scenic spots, and buses usually end at 8:30 in the evening. Taxis are also very cost-effective, starting at 5 yuan for three kilometers, and then 1.30 yuan for one kilometer. Our accommodation in Xi'an was booked online on Ctrip, which was more convenient. All the scenic spots visited during the whole trip were in a group tour, and no tour guide was asked to explain. It is recommended to go to www.go2map.com to check the location of the hotel you booked and public transportation information before going. It is very convenient. It is recommended that you book a hotel within the ancient city wall, preferably in the southwest, because Route 610 (tourist bus) only passes through the northeast and southwest. It’s best to prepare sunscreen. The sun in Xi’an is relatively strong and the ultraviolet rays are relatively strong.
