Xi has three special attractions that foreign tourists don't know much about. Have you ever been there?

As a tourist city among network celebrities, Xi has never lacked popularity, but most tourists still like to punch in, such as Terracotta Warriors, Huaqing Palace and Datang City that Never Sleeps. Other scenic spots are slightly depressed most of the time.

I have been to Xi many times before, and I have been to almost all the popular scenic spots. Now I prefer some unpopular scenic spots.

Seiryuji is not unpopular for locals, but outsiders know very little about it. Only a few photographers will go to the temple to shoot cherry blossoms in spring, and their popularity will drop sharply in other seasons.

Qingliu Temple is the ancestral home of Tantric Buddhism. At present, it is a national key cultural relics protection unit. As early as the Tang Dynasty, it was a tourist attraction in Chang 'an, where poets such as Li Shangyin visited and left poems handed down from generation to generation.

Zhenglonger was founded in the Sui Dynasty with a history of 1400 years. In addition to enjoying high popularity in China, it also has high influence in neighboring countries such as Japan and South Korea. Japanese Air Sea Master studied Buddhism here and founded Shinrikyo after returning to China.

Qingliu Temple, with weeping willows and green trees and pavilions on the shore of Bihu Lake, is an elegant architectural complex in Xi 'an.

Datang West Market was the largest trade market in Chang 'an in Tang Dynasty and the largest trade center in the world at that time. Every day, a large number of businessmen from all over the world trade here, among which Persian businessmen and Arab businessmen have the largest number. Some businessmen even live near the West Market for the convenience of doing business.

At that time, goods from Persia and Arabia entered the western market through the Silk Road, and handicrafts such as silk and ceramics produced in China were also sold all over the world through the Silk Road.

With the decline of the Tang Dynasty and the eastward shift of the capital of the subsequent dynasties, the western region market became increasingly depressed, and the western region market we are seeing now was rebuilt in recent years.

Last time I went to Xi 'an, I made a special trip to Xicheng, and found that there were few tourists, but the building was still very atmospheric.

The purpose of visiting here is to relive the glory of the Tang Dynasty. Although the building is very new, it at least excavates and reproduces the history and culture, which is a good thing anyway.

Shuyuanmen is an old street near Xi 'an City Wall. Tall archways and antique buildings are full of a sense of the times.

Few foreign tourists come to this street, but many locals come and go.

The business atmosphere here is very rich, and the store business and the stall economy complement each other.

Four Treasures of the Study, calligraphy and paintings and various antiques are the main commodities in Shuyuanmen Street. Although I don't understand them, it's good to play in the old street and feel the fireworks.

I wonder if you have been to these three places.
