How about going to Xi 'an on May Day?

In fact, when traveling to Xi 'an, you can choose self-help travel after making good preparations before traveling. The main considerations are as follows:

1. Traffic and travel routes should be arranged in advance.

2. The local accommodation capacity is sufficient, even during the Golden Week, it is enough to ensure the accommodation requirements of tourists.

3. It can save various expenses such as travel. The expenses of self-help travel are completely at your own disposal, avoiding the troubles of forced travel and shopping. You can choose tourist souvenirs according to your own preferences.

4. Travel time is entirely up to you. You can take the initiative to slow down the activity when you feel too tired from the journey. You don't have to run almost all the tourist attractions in one day, as you do with the group. On the one hand, you can't see well, and on the other hand, you feel particularly tired.

In addition, actually, traveling with a group also has its advantages and benefits. Mainly:

1. Don't worry about it. After signing the travel agreement with the travel agency, it is completely taken care of by the travel agency. Including accommodation, catering and transportation

2. Safety is guaranteed. You need to buy your own personal accident insurance when traveling with a group. Increase personal guarantee.

3. Have qualified tour guides to guide and introduce scenic spots and attractions.

So, make a decision according to your own reality:)

First, give a brief introduction to Xi 'an. (If you know Xi 'an very well or want to see the substance, you can skip this paragraph.)

Xi 'an is one of the 25 most promising cities in China specially mentioned by the United Nations in the latest index coefficient and development prospect of cities around the world. Xi 'an is one of the six "most dynamic cities in the world" in China, which was inspected and recognized by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization.

today, Xi' an is the most important center of science, technology, education, commerce, culture and transportation in the western region of China, and has formed a complete industrial system focusing on high-tech, tourism, aerospace, aviation, machinery, electronics and textile industries. 44 universities, more than 5 scientific research institutions, and 34, scientific and technological talents make its military science and technology strength rank second in large and medium-sized cities in China, and its comprehensive scientific and technological strength ranks third. Now Xi 'an can be said to be a modern metropolis with rich humanities, developed economy, ancient capital style and modern majestic momentum. The scale of higher education in Xi 'an ranks third in China after Beijing and Shanghai. There are more than 2, scientific research units in the province, 17 specialties are unique in China, and 5 specialties are in the leading position in the country. There are 1 national key experimental fields, 5 specialized and special laboratories of national departments and 29 provincial key laboratories, with 851, professional technicians and 35 academicians of the two academies, ranking third in the country in comprehensive scientific and technological strength. Shaanxi Province, where Xi 'an is located, is rich in energy, with a coal reserve of 1,625 tons. The predicted prospective oil reserves are 1.1 billion tons and the proven reserves are 7 million tons. The predicted reserves of natural gas are 2, billion cubic meters, and the proven reserves are 32 billion cubic meters. It is one of Guida integrated gas fields discovered on land in China. From the perspective of development, Shaanxi has the conditions to become China's modernization in the next century and an important energy support point. Xi 'an is one of the important birthplaces of the Chinese nation. Thirteen dynasties, including Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang, have established their capitals here. Xi 'an, Cairo, Rome and Athens have become the four ancient capitals in the world, and the tourism resources featuring cultural relics are of high grade and large stock. There are more than 6, pieces of cultural relics in Xi 'an and its surrounding areas, and 22 key cultural relics protection units have been announced. In recent years, projects such as scientific and technological tourism and agricultural sightseeing tourism have quietly emerged. Scientific and technological advantages can play a leading role in optimizing industrial structure; The energy advantage makes it have a strong complementary role with the development of the eastern economy; Tourism advantage can attract a large number of domestic and foreign tourists and play an important role in the opening up of the whole central and western regions.

thus, Xi' an has become a central city in the central and western regions in terms of regional layout. Xi 'an has been a major traffic artery since ancient times, and the starting point of the "Silk Road" is here. Xi 'an has formed a transportation network extending in all directions, mainly by air, railway and highway. The city's highway mileage is 2,8 kilometers, with 5 national highways and 12 provincial highways passing through the city. At present, high-grade highways from Xi 'an to Tongguan, Huangling, Tianshui, Yanliang and Lantian have been completed and opened to traffic. Make Xi 'an an important transportation hub connecting the province with the northwest, the central plains and the southwest; The railway line across Eurasia from Lianyungang in China in the east and Rotterdam in the Netherlands in the west passes through Xi 'an: Xi 'an International Airport Xi 'an Xianyang International Airport has opened more than 8 international and domestic routes.

Now let's turn to the official topic: Comrades, take your bags. Our traffic in Xi 'an is very developed, and all kinds of traffic routes from the whole country and even the whole world go directly to Xi 'an (except for navigation)

A. Friends who arrive in Xi 'an by plane can contact taxi (drivers usually stand at the exit) after getting off the bus, from Xianyang Airport to the center of Xi 'an. If you aim at a PPMM on the plane, you can also share a car with several people, which saves a lot. Besides taxi, there is the airport bus, which is just outside the exit, and 25 yuan reaches the downtown area. Very convenient.

B. It's much more convenient for friends who take the train. There are dozens of bus lines to the urban area at Shangdemen (the north exit of Jiefang Road) outside the railway station. Here are a few key routes:

p>611 (the well-deserved first bus route in Xi 'an): Railway Station-Daqing Road, passing through the whole section of Jiefang Road (the top ten department stores in China, Minsheng Department Store, are on this road)-Dachai City (Hyatt Hotel is here, Clinton lived here when he came, and this section was completely under martial law)-East Street (the most famous bustling commercial street in China) At present, the "Imperial City Hotel" has been built here)-Bell Tower (the center of Xi 'an, the administrative divisions and urban functional divisions of Xi 'an are bounded by this, and there are many places worth going around, which will be introduced in detail later.

However, in order to improve the urban environment, the Xi 'an municipal government banned this night market several years ago, and turned to indoor. Although it is not as large as before, it is still an excellent place to eat night markets. Later)-Xincheng Square (the seat of the provincial government, which was called Imperial Square before liberation, was the center of the Tang Palace. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was changed to Xincheng Square. During the Republic of China, Jiang Jieshi used to work here, which contained the famous Yellow House)-Xihuamen-Bell Tower-South Street (the youngest and most prosperous commercial district in Xi 'an, where many shops can be found)-South Gate (An) )-Nanshaomen-Stadium (also known as Suzaku Square in Shaanxi Province, the home of Shaanxi National Team)-Conservatory of Music-Xiaozhai (the second center of Xi 'an, which is full of vitality and modern atmosphere because of the surrounding universities)-Foreign Languages Institute-Shaanxi Normal University-TV Tower

p>36 tourist line, which goes to the east line of Xi 'an, Banpo Museum, Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, Terracotta Warriors, Huaqing Pool, and so on.

There are several other routes, large and small, that run to urban areas and various tourist attractions, so I won't go into details here.

C. Highway-Xi 'an is located in the central and western part of China. Driving to Xi 'an from Shanxi, Henan, Hebei, Beijing, Tianjin, and Northeast provinces can first pass through Shijiazhuang, then go to Taiyuan, take the Dayun Expressway, turn to fenglingdu, enter Qindong of Shaanxi, connect with Xitong Expressway, and directly reach Xi 'an. You can also take Huolian Expressway from Shijiazhuang to Zhengzhou to Tongguan and transfer to Xitong Expressway.

you can go to Zhengzhou from Shandong first. From Jiangsu, Shanghai and Zhejiang, you can transfer to Xuzhou, Huolian Expressway, Tongguan and then Xi 'an. From central and southern Hubei, Hunan, Guangxi, Guangzhou, you can go to Ankang through Shiyan, Hubei, and then jump over Qinling to Xi' an through Lantian. Southwest provinces can cross the Qinling Mountains from Chongqing to Hanzhong to Xi 'an.

after entering Xi' an, there is an expressway of 8 kilometers, and you can reach all places in Xi' an according to the road signs.

after arriving in Xi' an, I began to look for a place to live. There are hotels, foreign-related hotels, hotels, hotels and hostels of various grades in the city, and you can choose according to your needs.

High-end hotels: Shangri-La Golden Flower Hotel (shangelila), Hyatt Afang Palace Hotel (hayyat), Sheraton Hotel (sharaton), Castle Hotel (ANA), Imperial City Hotel, howord johnson Queen Hotel, Oriental Hotel, Tang Hua Hotel, Qujiang Hotel, Xi 'an Hotel, Shaanxi Hotel, Bell Tower Hotel and so on. In addition to these, there are many Samsung hotels in Xi 'an, all of which are large in scale and grade, clean and tidy, and thoughtful in service. Of course, there are even worse hotels if you want to save money. But the service and environmental quality will also decline.

there are many hotels of other grades, so I won't repeat them here.

Now that we have settled in Xi 'an, we will go on our way after a rest.

1. Tourist routes:

Let's start with the downtown area of Xi 'an

1. The Bell Tower, the downtown area, was built in the Ming Dynasty, initially 2 kilometers west, and then moved to its present position as a whole. It can be accessed from the underground track of the bell tower. From the bell tower, you can overlook the four streets in Xi 'an, and the effect is unusual. And the clock on the bell tower is the most famous. Why? According to the old people, the whole city of Xi 'an can hear any clock that the old Xi 'an knocks on the bell tower! I think you should knock when you come to Xi 'an.

2. The Drum Tower reflects the bell tower from a distance, so the so-called morning bell and evening drum comes from the North Courtyard Gate (Huimin Street) Food Street.

3. The Ming City Wall is the most intact ancient military defense facility in the world. So far, it has experienced more than 6 years of wind and rain, and it is still a symbol of Xi' an city.

4. The forest of steles, known as the gathering place of calligraphy in China, has collected more than 1, calligraphy inscriptions of celebrities in past dynasties, and is also known as the China Calligraphy Inscription Museum. Located in Wenchang Men Site, south of the city wall.

5. the eighth route army office, as the name suggests. Xiqi Road

6. Big Wild Goose Pagoda and Jionji, where Master Xuanzang translated Buddhist scriptures. Located at the south end of Yanta Road. Big Wild Goose Pagoda North Square. There is one of the best musical fountains in Asia. It's not just water spray+music. The spouted water will change with the music, and the momentum is really spectacular. Now you can't go to Xi 'an without seeing it. I suggest going at night, because it will have the effect of colored lights and look better.

7. Shuyuanmen Street is located in the south gate, where there are antique calligraphy and paintings and miscellaneous antiques for sale. And Guanzhong Academy.

Quaternary glaciers, rare birds, and Taibai snow (there will be a hundred snows on the mountain in June, and it is strongly recommended to play. )

5. The source of Jialing River in Baoji. Everyone knows that Jialing River is in Chongqing, but its source is in Shaanxi. The water at the source is crystal clear and the scenery is pleasant.

6. Guanshan Ranch, the only grassland landform in Shaanxi, where horses can gallop, camp and barbecue fat sheep.

3. Nanwutai and Jiawutai Scenic Resort are both famous scenic spots at the foot of Qinling Mountain.

4. Mount Zhongnan. People in ancient times came here and thought it was the end of the sky, so it was called Mount Zhongnan. Quanzhen religion in Jin Yong's novels is here, and it is famous here.
