Is there anything worth visiting in Xi?

The taste of Shaanxi city?

I have been back for several days and have no time to keep a diary. Secondly, it is a bit difficult to write this diary well. It will also be very long, because it is really difficult to finish the northwest in a few words. In addition, only a part of Shaanxi, Gansu and Qinghai are left.

July 15 Xi 'an

Perhaps it was a rare experience of traveling with a group, which did great harm to people, so this time, I stopped traveling with the group and entering the so-called scenic spots, and decided to walk around at sky-high prices. Speaking of which, it's really not difficult to walk around. At least, you should have a general route design in mind. For example, I just want to see the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and Qilian Mountains this time. Of course, this design was influenced by chinese national geography (Qinghai Atlas), so it was decided. I wanted to go to Tibet, but it was not a good idea to drive alone. Besides, the Sichuan-Tibet Highway is not as good as the Qinghai-Tibet Highway. Oh, and do you have confidence in the car? If it is your own Tiguan, maybe you will go to Lhasa. As a result, only Cruze was opened, but the results were not bad, which was a good way to deal with the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. . . . .

It is inevitable for people from the south of China, or people from the south of the Yellow River in a broad sense, to visit the northwest. In fact, even if you don't like city life, Xi can make you relax.

The cut map on Google only shows the basic road of Xi 'an, and it takes some effort to find the taste of Xi 'an. People who often live in the south should look for the most local food when they arrive in Xi 'an. I walked a few places behind and found that Dang's diet was too popular, or too Sichuan-style, or imitated other people's seafood. . . . . . After that, there is a snack that decomposes Xi, and the indigenous flavor is still authentic. Here are some famous local snacks (not exactly snacks, but the staple food of Xi people).

The hotel is the home of the North Second Ring Road, which is ok, but the price is higher than that of Shenzhen 100 yuan. Hehe, maybe there are too many tourists in Xi 'an, which pushes up the accommodation price? Food should be found in the city (Xi 'an's city is the city wall).

?

It takes about 20 minutes from Daming Palace West to Xiaozhai.

Xiaozhai is a place where Xi 'an snacks are concentrated. We looked for many places and finally came to a Hulutou canteen. Typical Guanzhong decoration (it should be noted that it can't be said to be Shaanxi style. There is a big difference between north and south in Shaanxi)

This is delicious pasta. Unfortunately, I don't understand good food, but I will eat it! Ha ha. My daughter naturally eats very tastefully, and a big bowl of old bowls is actually not enough. In addition, Xi 'an also has a local soft drink, but it is the new favorite of young people. The daughter after OO said it was delicious, much better than coke. . . .

The way to eat gourd head is a bit particular. At first, my father and daughter also had a clown: they actually ate their own buns. The waiter saw that we were almost finished eating steamed buns, and inexplicably asked, don't you want gourd heads? This is not the way to eat gourd head. . . . . . Still laughing. . . It turns out that this gourd head is an image statement. Break the steamed stuffed bun into pieces and it looks like a gourd. When you order what you want, the store will bring the steamed stuffed bun for you to grab first, and then the store will remit the soup to you according to your requirements and add the juice to the bubble to eat.

You see, this gourd head in the old sea bowl is eating. . . . . Delicious! Hehe, I don't care about image, I'm still a child!

After eating the gourd head, it's not bad to walk on the street in Xi 'an. Soon, I arrived at Xiaozhai subway station. Xi 'an's subway ticket is much bigger than Shenzhen's, as big as a bank card. There are advertising pictures of Xi 'an scenic spot on the back. Not bad!

The platform design of Xi subway is still excellent. The modern craft pattern behind it has a profound history and a modern style. It's just that the security guard won't let me take any more pictures, saying that taking pictures is not allowed here. Disturbing! This is the characteristic of Xi 'an!

Out of the Daming Palace subway station, there are even electric tricycles. This is a good short-distance means of transportation, but it's a pity that many local governments make such an environmentally friendly means of transportation illegal for the sake of so-called safety and face. Anyway, let's sit comfortably. The temperature in Xi 'an these days is very fierce and beautiful!

On the overpass in front of the hotel, my daughter is enjoying the night view of Xi. It seems to me that she is thinking something. She said, Dad, we are strangers everywhere. In Shenzhen, we are outsiders, and in Xi, we are still outsiders. Back to my hometown in Gao Chuan, we may still be outsiders, right? I said, yes, we are full of outsiders, which is the characteristic of contemporary China. But we are from China! As long as we are in China, we are from China and China is our home. In a few days, I will show you how big our home is. My daughter said, I still want to know where I am from. I am speechless. Where is my home? Since China opened to the outside world for more than 30 years, everything has undergone earth-shaking changes, and even our ancestral teachings of confessing to our ancestors have died out in this change. I am from Shaanxi, my wife is from Hunan, and my daughter is from Shaanxi who was born in Hunan and grew up in Shenzhen. Where do you think she is from? My career is in Shenzhen, I live in Shenzhen, I live in Shenzhen, but my ancestors are in southern Shaanxi (I emphasize southern Shaanxi, not Shaanxi in a broad sense). Comrades who can live and die are all over the country. Students who can help each other are in southern Shaanxi, and their first dream is in the northwest. . . . . . Where am I from? I can only say that I am from China! Tell your daughter that you are from China, China can be your home anywhere, and in the future, anywhere in the world may be your home. Okay, no, where you are is my home. Where is home? Home is in my hometown, home is in my wife and home is in my daughter. Home is the best in China!

Looking at the lights of the city, who doesn't want home? People in our time, home is in their hearts. I think home is in my heart, where are my parents, and where I grew up when I was a child, that is my home. Not far, just in southern Shaanxi. Where my parents gave birth to me and raised me.

No.6 is not hot. I came to the city for housing subsidies.

This high and deep city wall, dark gray old brick, in a few words, how can I make it clear?

You can see flowers and plants in any corner, but the sky is not very good, which makes people a little depressed.

The daughter is puzzled. Is this thing useful? I said, we can't look at this profound history with useful eyes. This is a spiritual home, a solidification of culture.

I said, give it a try. It's still hot.

She stood against the wall and said with puzzled eyes, you didn't lie to me, this wall is really hot! Dark gray and dignified city walls, fresh and tender after modernization, what a contrast!

The daughter said, I have been here. I seem to have touched it. Is it a dialogue with history? What should I say? I have to be speechless.

I said, then take a picture with the wall, and you can pat the wall in your heart!

At that time, Xi 'an Ximen, now is full of traffic, all kinds of vehicles shuttle under the gate, and the soldiers and horses on guard are gone. I hope this stable door will always be so free to come in and out. People who have never been to Xi 'an, the imaginary Xi 'an, may still be a carriage. In fact, you see all kinds of cars. It is also called 30 million people yelling at Shaanxi opera, and the dust is flying for 800 miles. Xi 'an, a modern metropolis, is being displayed in the ancient Guanzhong area. The fusion of amorous feelings and the sky is an indispensable leading way for a leading city like Xi 'an. . . . . .

Just outside the city wall, skyscrapers are blooming everywhere. The high-rise buildings outside the city can only explain the modern development of Xi 'an, and there are many buildings in the city. I'm sorry that the history of China makes the unique old imperial city look useless. Around the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, many ancient buildings are built by modern architectural methods, which makes people wonder when and where they are. I'm thinking that if all the buildings in the city for nearly 70 years are demolished and restored to the appearance of 1940s, this is the best cultural relic protection. Restoring the eastern and western markets to the Tang Dynasty will make many people understand the origin of buying things. Dreaming back to Datang is not only the dream of Xi people, but also the dream of all China people and all China people! Why do you want to dream back to Datang? In fact, we can copy Datang's, as long as we have Datang's generosity and economy. This strategy is not a matter for national leaders, but actually a matter for each of us. I am also thinking: Why doesn't China move its capital to Xi now? That's because none of these governments have the confidence to surpass Datang. If one day, Wanbang comes to Korea, Xi 'an will become the capital, and it will no longer be the abandoned capital in Jia Pingwa's eyes.

In fact, there are many scenic spots to see and play in Xi 'an, and the historical scenic spots alone are enough for you to see for a month. I have been to Xi 'an countless times, and I haven't seen Xi 'an enough. This time, I just glanced at it and said something superficial. Around Xi 'an, pick up a piece of soil casually, and it has a thousand-year story. How many histories and stories, or your personal experience! The Qinling Mountains in the south are called National Central Park by chinese national geography. I think this name is awesome. Only Qinling Mountain in Shaanxi can be called National Central Park. Do not believe, and listen to the next decomposition!

Note: This is an article I posted in a Weibo. Here, I deleted the photos in the original article and only selected two photos of the city wall. More Xi 'an, as long as you get to Xi 'an, you can experience it.)
