I would like to know the bus schedules for various scenic spots in Xi'an, thank you.

Xi'an is the central hub of national railway transportation, so there are many trains to Xi'an and the transportation is very convenient. From Luoyang to Xi'an, a local train takes about five hours, which is relatively slow.

The urban layout of Xi'an is similar to that of Beijing. The main urban area is a very regular rectangle. The main traffic road consists of the horizontal Xiwu Road (including the extended Lianhu Road), East-West Street, and the vertical intersection of North-South Street and Jiefang Road. Xi'an's ancient city walls and gates are very well protected. The southeast and northwest of the city are: Chang'an Gate, Yongning Gate, Anding Gate and Anyuan Gate. Xi'an Railway Station is in the north of the city, and its main entrance is Jiefang Road, the main transportation road. Xi'an's bus transportation system is very developed. You can reach every place in the city by bus. But to be honest, the road conditions in Xi'an are not good. The roads are narrow and there are many vehicles. It may take more than ten or twenty people to drive at one stop. minute. There are many taxis in Xi'an and the prices are very cheap. The starting price is 6 yuan within three kilometers and 1.2 yuan per kilometer beyond three kilometers. After 10 p.m., the starting price is adjusted to 7 yuan, and 1.7 yuan per kilometer beyond three kilometers.

After coming out of the train station, the first thing you must solve is the problem of accommodation. Xi'an is a famous tourist city with many hotels of various sizes. This time when I went to Xi'an, my bf and I stayed in a hotel that his family had arranged for us in advance. It was called Weihe Hotel. It is east of the intersection of Xiwu Road and Beixin Road and west of Revolution Park. We stayed in a standard room. The room was not big, but we could enjoy 24-hour hot water, and the waiters were also very attentive and enthusiastic. Weihe Hotel also has ordinary rooms, which have similar conditions to standard rooms, but do not have separate bathrooms. If you are traveling to Xi'an, it is strongly recommended that you stay not far from the train station, because many tourist buses, trains, and tour buses depart from the train station, so it is very inconvenient to live far away. Along Jiefang Road and Heping Road, there are many small alleys on both sides. There are many cheap hotels in these alleys. The standard room here is about 100 yuan, and the ordinary room is only 60 or 70 yuan. The price is cheap and the transportation is very convenient, but it is not hygienic and safe enough.

We arrived in Xi'an on the afternoon of the 25th. After a five-hour train journey, we were hot and tired. We were already exhausted. I had to rest for a while on the night of the 25th, and then officially started playing on the 26th.

It was extremely hot in Xi'an at the end of April, and the locals were already wearing short-sleeved shirts. I only brought two short-sleeved shirts, so I could wear them interchangeably. My poor bf only brought one short-sleeved shirt. It’s really a mistake to have no clothes to change!

The first thing we went to on the morning of the 26th was the Shaanxi History Museum. Bus No. 5 can be reached directly. When traveling in Xi'an, if you are a student, you must remember to bring your student ID card. Graduate ID cards can also be used. You can get a lot of discounts when buying tickets with your student ID card. The ticket to the Shaanxi History Museum is 35 yuan, or only 15 yuan with a student ID. You can take pictures in the museum, so don’t forget to bring your camera. In addition, there is a free storage room at the entrance. Large bags cannot be brought into the museum, so it is best to bring a small bag to put some personal belongings. The Shaanxi History Museum has seven exhibition halls, which display cultural relics from prehistory, Zhou, Qin, Han, Wei and Jin, Sui and Tang, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. What you can focus on visiting here is the first exhibition hall, which displays pottery, pottery vessels, metal vessels and weapons from the Qin and Han Dynasties. In particular, in the first exhibition hall, you can see the four Yong people unearthed from the Terracotta Warriors and Horses. When you visit, you can see their body shape, expression, hairstyle and clothing up close. Although you can see more Yong people in the pits of Qin Shihuang's Terracotta Warriors and Horses, but because they are far away and looking down, some details may not be felt.

Coming out of the main entrance of the museum, a middle-aged local woman sold us postcards of Xi'an attractions. These postcards are usually reprinted, but the price is several times cheaper than those sold at tourist attractions. If it is just a souvenir, it doesn't matter if you buy a few copies. Generally, if you bargain for six yuan, just counteroffer for four yuan per book. After shopping, walk east along the road and you will reach the Big Wild Goose Pagoda Square in about ten minutes. It can be said that this place, together with Xi'an's West Street, can be regarded as the most beautiful and prosperous place in Xi'an. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda Square has what is known as the largest musical fountain in Asia. If you look at it at night, the neon lights will flash and it will be very beautiful. But what is more important to us is that the Da Ci'en Temple and the Big Wild Goose Pagoda are located on the south side of the square. Daci'en Temple is a Tang Dynasty-style temple and a famous royal temple in the Tang Dynasty. The famous Tang Monk was the first abbot here. The entrance fee to Ci'en Temple is 25 yuan, and there are no student tickets. Now it seems that Ci'en Temple is actually not big. From south to north, there are two courtyards: the Main Hall and the Dharma Hall, and then there is the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is the pagoda of Ci'en Temple. After Tang Monk came back from Tianzhu to collect Buddhist scriptures, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty built this specially in order to enshrine the Buddhist scriptures, relics and magical instruments he had brought back from India, and to give Tang Monk a place where he could concentrate on translating these Buddhist scriptures. A Big Wild Goose Pagoda. Tickets for Daci'en Temple do not include tickets for climbing the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. You need to purchase an additional ticket of 15 yuan to climb the tower. Student tickets can be discounted by 5 yuan. A group of Tang Dynasty-style palaces have been newly built behind the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. Inside, there are lists of Tang monk Xuanzang’s life stories and stories of his Buddhist scriptures. They also list scriptures and magical instruments brought back from Tianzhu, and also comment on Xuanzang’s Buddhist scriptures. , the historical contribution of translating the Bible.

It is worth seeing the jade and wooden reliefs in the Buddhist halls on the left and right sides, which briefly describe the process of the Indian prince Sakyamuni becoming a Buddha. The carvings are exquisite and lifelike. There is also a carved caisson in the central Buddhist hall, and the many Buddha statues inside are so beautiful that it is breathtaking.

It was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon when we came out of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. We took the No. 609 bus to see the ancient city wall of Xi'an. Xi'an's ancient city wall was built in the Ming Dynasty and is still very well preserved. Get off the bus on Route 609 and arrive at Yongning Gate, the southern city gate. After passing the moat, you reach the entrance of the city wall. The ticket to climb the city wall is 10 yuan, half price for students. The city wall is wide and high, and because it is evening, it looks empty and distant. You can rent bicycles on the city wall for 20 yuan an hour for a couple and 10 yuan for a single person. One hour is enough to ride from Yongning Gate on the south side to Changle Gate on the east side. Think about it, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the empty and desolate ancient city wall, the birds fly and land, how peaceful it is, riding a bicycle with your loved one, silent to each other, but it feels like time has frozen. The living is no longer flowing, and there are only two of you left in the long world...

There are many snacks in Xi'an, mostly pasta, and they eat more beef and mutton than pork, so if you are from the south, you will feel uncomfortable Too used to it. After coming down from the city wall and walking north for a short time, you will find the Bell Tower and Drum Tower. Under the frosty night, the bell tower is brightly lit and beautiful. Unfortunately, I was very hungry, so I had to solve the problem of dinner first. Walk east along Dongda Street and you will see the huge neon sign of Xi'an Restaurant in 20 minutes. For 22 yuan per person, Xi'an Restaurant provides a wide variety of Xi'an buffet snacks. Unfortunately, the business hours here end at nine o'clock, and no new snacks will be served after eight-thirty. When we arrived, it was already seven-thirty, and my bf always regretted why he didn't take a taxi. Hehe~ The mutton skewers here are very delicious, but it’s a pity that I feel full after eating only a few skewers. It is recommended that if you want to go to a Xi'an restaurant for a buffet, you must go early~

I ate too much, so I walked all the way back to the hotel and walked east along Dongda Street. There were many shops on both sides, and the girls on the street also Dressed fashionably, I feel that the girls in Xi'an are taller than the girls in Hangzhou, and they have a well-proportioned physique, which is another kind of beauty compared to the frail girls from Jiangnan. On the way back to the roadside, I met an old man selling handmade paper-cuts. He was kind and talkative. There were so many paper-cuts, all very beautiful. While I was picking them, he opened them one by one for us to see without any impatience. It was already eleven o'clock when we got back to the hotel.

On the 27th, we went to Huaqing Pool and Terracotta Warriors. When I got up in the morning, I ordered a water basin mutton from the hotel restaurant. It is said that the water basin mutton here is very good. The water basin mutton is a big bowl of mutton soup, with large chunks of simmered mutton and coriander in it, and then paired with two pieces of very soft sesame seed cakes. Take a bite of the cake and drink a mouthful of soup. It is really delicious. If you think the mutton soup is too spicy, you can go to Lao Sun's mutton steamed bun restaurant opposite Revolution Park for breakfast. They serve porridge and side dishes from 8 to 10 o'clock. The taste is quite southern and the taste is good. Speaking of Lao Sun's family, we can't help but mention his mutton steamed buns. Lao Sun's mutton steamed buns and the time-honored Tong Shengxiang's mutton steamed buns located on the west side of the bell tower are the most famous in Xi'an, and the prices are both 13.8 per serving. However, it was the first time for my bf and I to eat mutton steamed buns. , I ate both of them and couldn’t tell any difference in taste. When eating mutton steamed buns, the waiter will give you a round cake as big as two palms and a large bowl. The cake is solid and feels solid and hard. Use your hands to break the cake into soybean-sized pieces in the bowl. , then returns it to the waiter and takes it to the kitchen. The chef adds mutton soup, minced coriander and fine vermicelli to the bowl, and then the waiter brings it back to you. Eating this mutton steamed bun is obviously a time-consuming and labor-intensive task, but it is quite interesting to think about how you have to break it before eating. Hey, it suddenly occurred to me, what if the waiter exchanges your bowl with another person's bowl by mistake? And it happened that the person forgot to wash his hands just before they broke up... (Bang~ was knocked down by the bf with a pancake~~~)

No. 27. On this day we went to the Huaqing Pool on the Eastern Front and the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang. In Xi'an, there are many large and small travel companies with special travel lines, and many people will directly solicit customers on the street and ask you if you want to go to the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Huashan. When encountering this situation, you must choose carefully, because many travel companies will arrange too many attractions for you in one day, or go to some unknown small attractions, or they will drag you to buy tourist souvenirs. In fact, when going to Huaqing Pool and Terracotta Warriors, there is a special tourist bus operated by the bus company at the train station, also called Bus No. 306. There are many trains on this train, the fare is only eight yuan, and it is a return ticket. That is to say, if you buy a ticket once and pay eight yuan, you can go to various scenic spots along the 306 bus without having to buy another ticket for the round trip, and you can also return to Xi'an in the end. The only thing to note is that don't buy tickets under the bus. This is a regular bus. There is a conductor on the bus. The conductor will sell tickets on the bus after driving. There are several scenic spots along the Youwu route, in addition to the Terracotta Warriors, Huaqing Pool, Lishan Mountain, and the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang. It's a pity that the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang has not been excavated yet. If we go there, we will only see a huge mound full of green trees, so we don't plan to go there. After about half an hour on the Youwu bus, we arrived at Huaqing Pool. The ticket for Huaqing Pool is 40 yuan, and students can get a half-price discount. After entering the main entrance of Huaqing Pool, you can see Lishan Mountain. This mountain is tall and green, full of intoxicating green. The tall mountain and the soft water in Huaqing Pool complement each other so well. "The spring cold brings bathing in Huaqing Pool, and the hot spring water washes away the fat."

Contrary to imagination, the Haitang Tang where Yang Guifei bathed in fragrant soup was just a simple small pool. And due to extensive development, the hot spring water source in Huaqing Pool has now become extinct. When visiting Huaqing Pool, it is best to find a tour guide and listen to her explain to you the mystery of the bathhouse structure, the use of water heating, and the romance of "I wish to be a winged bird in heaven, and a branch on earth", which is very interesting. Behind Huaqing Pool, there are five halls famous for the "Xi'an Incident". It was here that Yang Hucheng and Zhang Xueliang carried out military remonstrance against Chiang Kai-shek in Huaqingchi and placed Chiang Kai-shek under house arrest. After a fierce battle between the two sides, Chiang Kai-shek climbed over the wall and fled to Lishan, where he was finally captured at the "Catching Chiang Pavilion".

After coming out of Huaqing Pool, you still take the Youwu bus. In another half an hour, you will arrive at the terminal of Youwu - the Terracotta Warriors of Qin Shihuang. When you get off the car from the parking lot, you can see a gate, but this gate is not the entrance to the Terracotta Warriors and Horses. From this gate, you have to pass through a large green space and walk for fifteen minutes to reach the main gate of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, so it is recommended to take a tour bus there. Well, it’s four yuan for one way and five yuan for round trip, so it’s better to choose the round trip. Tickets for the Terracotta Warriors and Horses are 90 yuan, half-price discount for students, and half-price or even free admission for senior citizens. The first floor of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum has four exhibition halls and a Universal Cinema. The four exhibition halls display pits No. 1, No. 2, No. 3 and two bronze chariots and horses. In the Universal Cinema, you can watch a short film about the terracotta warriors and horses from the firing to the final destruction from a 360-degree angle. The Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang are known as the "Eighth Wonder of the World". Pit No. 1 is the largest of the three pits and houses the main force of the army. When entering Pit No. 1, you can see that the first half of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses was restored to its original appearance more than 2,000 years ago. Some of the pits at the back are covered with plastic sheets or buried with loess. This is because the terracotta warriors and horses were originally colored, instead of what we see now is just one color, just because of oxidation. The terracotta warriors and horses were unearthed within a few minutes. The color will fade, and our country has not yet developed an antioxidant agent that can be applied to the exterior of the terracotta warriors and horses to protect the color. The antioxidants needed now have to be imported from Germany, and it is said that the antioxidants painted on the outside of a terracotta warriors and horses cost 20 million yuan! Two thousand, followed by a word of ten thousand! ! (Wow! Twenty million~~~how much is the price of the Hope Project!) Pit No. 2 is the elite unit of the army, a mixed unit of infantry, crossbowmen, cavalry, and tank troops. Pit No. 3 is the military general’s command center. Part of Pit No. 2 and No. 3 has not yet been developed, and part of it has not been restored. It only shows the original appearance when it was excavated, so it is not as beautiful as Pit No. 1. It is said that the infantrymen of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses originally had weapons and swords in their hands. During the construction, shed wood was first placed above the tunnel, then reed mats were placed on the shed wood, then sprinkled with fine mud, and finally covered with soil, thus hiding the entire Terracotta Warriors and Horses. stand up. After Xiang Yu conquered Xianyang, in order to obtain weapons, he forcibly opened the entrance to the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Yong, took away the weapons and set them on fire. After the shed wood above the pit was burned, the soil collapsed, smashing all the terracotta warriors and horses standing upright below. So the complete terracotta warriors and horses we see now are all put together by archaeological experts using thousands of fragments. What a tedious and complicated job this is! Lien Chan and his party from Xi'an visited the Terracotta Warriors and Horses one day later than us. It is said that the relevant units gave him a piece of clay with traces of reed mats as a gift. As early as the 1980s, a terracotta warrior head was worth three million yuan, and these clay blocks were made through special processes two thousand years ago and would not grow crops. It is conceivable that the value of this "clay block" geometry? ! In the bronze chariot and horse exhibition hall, there are two actual bronze chariots and horses on display. The technology of gold and silver welding and the tilting of the umbrella cover in different directions will make you feel how smart the Qin people were more than 2,000 years ago.

After seeing all the exhibition halls and coming out of the museum, it’s already getting late. The last bus for Tour 5 is at six o’clock, so we have to hurry up. There is a market specializing in souvenirs near the parking lot. There are all kinds of cloth tigers, Lantian jades, and terracotta warriors and horses souvenirs. When buying things here, you must be able to bargain, otherwise you will definitely be killed! With my solid bargaining skills, we bought two sets of terracotta warriors and horses in one day, the more exquisite ones. A desk pen holder and a pink jade bracelet are all very cheap. Even locals later said the price was very cheap. After shopping, you can take the Youwu bus back to Xi'an city.

We can go back to Xi'an for dinner. After leaving our things at the hotel, we took a taxi to Defachang Dumpling Restaurant near the Bell Tower. This dumpling restaurant is a well-known time-honored restaurant in Xi'an, and it is located in a prime location in the city, next to Tongshengxiang Beef and Mutton Steamed Bun Restaurant. According to my taste, the dumplings here are not delicious, and I feel that the restaurant is bullying customers and the service is not good. However, after leaving Defa Chang, there is a row of small shops selling tourist souvenirs next to it. There is a family inside, and as soon as you enter, you can see that the wall opposite is covered with hand-cut paper, which is very beautiful and gorgeous. Ask around, the price is very reasonable. The proprietress of this shop is a woman in her thirties, very charming, thoughtful and gentle. We didn't want to buy anything at first, so we stayed in her shop for a long time. Finally, we bought a lot of paper-cuts and gave them back to our classmates and friends.

To the west of the bell tower is the drum tower, "drum in the evening and bell in the morning". The bell tower and the drum tower were both tools used to tell the time in ancient times, and now they have become a symbol of culture. Passing the square in front of Defachang, walking down the steps, passing through the doorway under the Drum Tower, you will arrive at Huifang, the most local characteristic and flavor place in Xi'an.

When I went to Beijing last year, I wanted to go to Niu Street, which also has a Hui flavor. Unfortunately, when I went there, the entire street had lost its original appearance due to city renovations. Fortunately, Huifang still maintains its original scene. Xi'an is an area where many ethnic groups live together, and Huifang was originally the area where the Hui people lived. At night, the place is brightly lit and the sound of hawking is endless, making it very lively and fun. The walk back to the square is not long, only one or two hundred meters at most. There are vendors selling preserved fruits on both sides of the street. Basically, the items sold in each store are similar, nothing more than dried kiwis, preserved apricots, red dates, persimmons, and dried figs, which cost more than ten yuan a pound. I bought a few of them and they tasted pretty good, sweet and a little sour. There are many specialty food stalls on both sides of Huifang, such as grilled mutton skewers, tripe shabu-shabu, Xi'an Liangpi jelly, hot and sour noodles, fried noodles, and steamed buns. This is a paradise for eating Xi'an snacks. There are many restaurants and restaurants in Huifang, the more famous ones are Pingwa Barbecue Restaurant and Jia Sanjia’s Soup-filled Steamed Buns. In Huifang, you don’t need to order kebabs. You just have to cook them in the shop. After a while, a young man with a big head will come in with a lot of kebabs and ask loudly: "Grilled mutton?" "Who wants it?" If you want it, he will put a handful on your plate and you can eat it slowly. We ordered a lot of grilled pork skewers and grilled lamb skewers at Pingwa Barbecue Restaurant. Pork skewers cost 20 cents a skewer, and mutton skewers cost 50 cents a skewer. There is also delicious tripe shabu-shabu here, which costs 30 cents a skewer. It is skewered on bamboo skewers and served with tripe and spicy seasoning. It is very enjoyable to eat with the seasoning. If you really like mutton, you can order some of the roasted lamb legs here. Since we are not particularly meat lovers, we didn’t order it. It shouldn’t be expensive at more than 20 yuan per pound. A little further ahead from Pingwa Barbeque Restaurant is Jia Sanjia's soup dumplings diagonally opposite. Because we were so full after eating the barbecue, my boyfriend and I ordered a basket of soup dumplings to taste. Jia Sanjia's soup dumplings come in two varieties: beef and mutton. Mutton costs five pieces and beef costs four. It's really very cheap. There is also a very sweet rice-treasure porridge here, priced at 2 yuan for 50 yuan a bowl. If you feel a little greasy just eating the soup dumplings, then order them as cold dishes. The cold cucumbers, yuba, and kimchi are served on a small plate, and each portion only costs one yuan. The only drawback is that the environment is not good enough, noisy, and crowded. If you prefer an elegant and quiet dining environment, then Huifang may not be a good choice. Suitable for you. In addition to eating snacks in Huifang, you can also buy handicrafts with local Shaanxi flavor, including handmade straw sandals, which cost very cheap, only two yuan a pair. These straw sandals are a bit painful to wear, but the colors are very fresh and bright, making them a good decoration. There are also cloth tigers, tiger-head shoes, and cloth pendants. I fell in love with the small bags embroidered in the shape of a tiger's head. The asking price was five yuan each, so I ended up paying five yuan for two of them. When I bought it, I just thought it looked good. When I got it to the hotel, I discovered that even though it was the same tiger head, some small details were different. One had two tiger ears embroidered into a scorpion, and the other was embroidered into an octopus. The patterns in many places were also different. It’s different. The more I watch it, the more I like it. In Huifang, we also saw two young girls playing guitar and singing. Their voices were not unpleasant, but unfortunately they had no emotion when singing and were not impressive at all. Another time I heard someone singing Xintianyou from Northern Shaanxi in front of the stalls. The voice was too hoarse and not pleasant to listen to. Maybe foreigners would find it strange after hearing this. There is a small alley perpendicular to Huifang, which is the famous antique street in Xi'an - Huajue Alley. This alley is very inconspicuous, but one of Xi'an's scenic spots, the Great Mosque, is located in this inconspicuous little alley. We also walked to Huajue Alley by chance. The alley is very long, several times as long as Huifang, but very narrow. The alleys are filled with small shops selling antiques, including snuff bottles, jade, cosmetic boxes, old locks, porcelain, and headwear. My Bf said that I couldn’t move forward after seeing these things. Sure enough, I liked everything here very much. I fell in love with an old lock made to look like a pipa. I liked it very much, but I thought the price was too expensive so I didn’t buy it. The more I walked down the alley, the more I discovered that almost every house sells locks like this. Bf said proudly: "Are you stupid? You thought you came across an antique!" Indeed, it is best not to buy anything in Huajue Alley. The things here are all fakes, but the prices are sky-high. You can see many foreigners shopping in this alley. The savvy bosses overcome the language barrier and use calculators to bargain with their foreign friends.

No. 28. This is an unlucky day. We set off from the hotel at around 7 o'clock. We planned to go to the train station and take the tourist bus to Famen Temple. But when I was having breakfast at Lao Sun's house, I was delayed because I had to wait for the pancakes to come out of the pan, and when buying water in the supermarket, I had to wait for the supermarket to open at eight o'clock. To be honest, Xi'an's bus tour bus settings are extremely unreasonable. There is only one bus bound for Famen Temple every day, and it leaves at 8 o'clock in the morning. Missing this bus means that you can only take the tour buses of small travel companies to Famen Temple. In order to make money, these small travel companies will always take you to scenic spots you don't want to go. On this day, we missed the only bus to Famen Temple. The whole plan was disrupted and we didn't know how to arrange this day. A small mistake ruined the mood of my bf and I. Under my constant complaints and accusations, an interstellar war broke out. Fortunately, the war was quickly settled. After some discussion, we decided to go to Huashan this day instead. Bf immediately went out to buy a train ticket for the afternoon, while I was responsible for packing up at the hotel.

My Bf sent me a text message saying that Huashan Mountain takes two hours and I can only buy tickets without seats. Do I want to buy them? That being the case, I gritted my teeth and replied: Buy it! After sending the text message, I fainted for a long time, got up at 7 o'clock in the morning, an interstellar war broke out, worked for a long time, had to stand on the train for two hours, and then spent at least five hours climbing Mount Huashan? oh! God, save me! God protect me from rolling down Mount Huashan. Not long after, my bf came back from buying a bus ticket under the scorching sun. The bus was at 8:40 pm, and it was probably not until 11 o'clock when we arrived at Huashan. I had almost packed my luggage, so the two of us took the suitcases to the front desk of the hotel to check out, and then booked a room for the night of the 29th. After finishing everything and resting on the sofa at the front desk for a while, we set off to the supermarket to buy things to bring to Huashan Mountain. There are a lot of things to prepare for climbing Huashan Mountain in the middle of the night. It is best to go to a larger supermarket. We went to the Aijia Supermarket near Chaoyangmen, which is also the nearest large supermarket to us. First of all, you need to buy a flashlight, which is metal and uses two AA batteries. We bought four batteries and a spare battery at one time. The battery must be of a good brand. Later we found that when climbing Huashan, many people's flashlights became very dim after being used for a while, but ours was still very bright. After buying the flashlight, we still had to buy water. My bf insisted on buying 12 bottles of Wahaha mineral water. It turned out that we bought too much. Generally, two people only need six bottles. Bought water and some dry food, preferably small but long-lasting food. We later bought very sturdy bread and brought some pickles. Later I discovered that pickles are very useful. You will sweat a lot when climbing mountains, so you can use pickles to replenish salt. Try to buy as few snacks as possible that won’t make you hungry. After all, this is a hike up Mount Huashan of more than 2,000 meters rather than an outing on flat ground!

The biggest feature of Xi'an's train station is the large number of people. I have never seen a long queue of 100 meters to enter the train station. So a reminder here is to try to get to the train station as early as possible. It was an unlucky day, but fortunately, although we bought tickets without seats, we got seats on the train and could take a break during the journey. I rarely have the experience of taking a train, so I found it very new. Before getting off the bus, we gave up our seats to an elderly man who had been waiting next to us. If we hadn't thought about climbing Mount Huashan, we would have given our place to him from the beginning. After getting off the bus, I didn’t expect to see many backpackers, all of whom seemed to be preparing to climb Mount Huashan in the middle of the night. After leaving the station, many drivers came up to solicit customers. There were twelve young people in our group, eight of us were together, and besides us there was another couple. Drivers who solicit passengers almost use both soft and hard tactics. If lobbying fails, they want to use force to solve the problem. Only then did I start to worry, was it too risky to climb Mount Huashan in the middle of the night? Finally, we finally agreed on the price. It cost 30 yuan for the eight people to take a minivan. My bf and I plus another couple took a small car and it cost 20 yuan to take us to the foot of Huashan Mountain. After driving, the car drove on a narrow, bumpy and dark dirt road. Because of fear and nervousness, I held my bf's hand tightly. Halfway through, the driver said he needed to refuel and drove the car to a gas station. It was originally agreed that the van and the car would follow closely behind each other, but as a result, the van drove ahead without a trace. Later we found out that this was a ploy by the driver (he only added 30 yuan of gas) in order to make more money. After refueling, we started driving again. On the way, the driver said: "There was an accident in Huashan a few days ago, so I may not be able to climb Huashan in the middle of the night now. I will take you over to have a look. If the mountain gate is locked, I will introduce you to one." A cheaper hotel." Sure enough, when we arrived at the Huashan gate, we didn't see anyone, not even the van from before. The gate we arrived at is the east gate of Huashan Mountain. The gatekeeper told us that the west gate of Huashan Mountain can be climbed 24 hours a day, while the east gate is the gate for tourist vehicles. That nasty taxi driver was cheating on us. Under our accusation, the driver shamelessly said that if we pay another ten yuan, he would send us to Ximen. Despite our anger, we had no choice but to agree to his conditions. Fortunately, we arrived at Ximen very quickly this time, and I felt relieved after seeing many "backpackers". The thrill of going to Huashan in the middle of the night still feels scary when I think about it. It is recommended to go to Huashan Mountain during the day. If you must climb at night, you must be very, very careful. It is best to go together. When I slowly let go of my worries, I realized that the couple who came with us was actually a newly married couple. The boy was one year younger than my boyfriend and was currently studying for a doctorate at Xi'an Jiaotong University. They are all students, and coupled with the same adventure just now, they make me feel as close as old friends. The ticket to Huashan is 70 yuan, and if you have a student ID, you can get a 10 yuan discount. Even though it was midnight, there were many people climbing Huashan, so I didn’t feel lonely at all. On the way up the mountain, there is a small shop not far away from the roadside, selling cold-skinned egg drinks, especially cucumbers soaked in cold spring water and tomatoes one by one. The price is one yuan. It seems that I have never eaten such delicious cucumbers and tomatoes. I ate them all the way, so happy! The boy who was traveling with me was active, talkative, and full of energy. He talked and sometimes sang songs as he walked.

What is even more considerate is that he takes excellent care of his wife, always holding her hand and protecting her! It doesn’t look like my bf! ? One time, while we were chatting, a person was far in front of me, pulling me a long way behind. I was really pissed off! While the night in Huashan is so dark, give him a hard look! The couple we were traveling with were much stronger than my bf and I. They were often far ahead of us, waiting for us somewhere, chatting for a while, encouraging each other, and then starting a new round of climbing. . Climbing is very physically demanding. When you are tired from walking, your legs will be too heavy to lift up, so you have to climb and rest for a while, but don’t rest for too long, otherwise you may never want to stand up and continue climbing. Huashan Mountain is famous for its steepness. In the Thousand-foot Building, thousands of steps are distributed almost vertically, and each step is very narrow and can only accommodate half of a foot. It is really steep. Be sure to hold on to the iron chain tightly. Don't be careless. On the ladder to heaven, there are cliffs on both sides, and in the middle is a narrow stone step that stretches for hundreds of meters. Walking on it in the middle of the night, the twinkling stars above, the dark cliffs on both sides, and the whistling wind in your ears are both thrilling and exciting. "There has been one road in Huashan since ancient times." When you reach Laojun's Furrow and Cha'er Cliff, the road begins to branch. One can go to the North Peak, and the other can go up through Jinsuoguan to the Middle Peak and then to the East Peak. Many people climb Huashan Mountain in the middle of the night just to see the majestic sunrise, so don’t stop and go directly to the East Peak. On Huashan Mountain, you can often see locks hanging on the iron chains on both sides. Some of the locks are rusty and very old. The iron chains on both sides of the Golden Suo Pass are even more densely hung with locks. It is said that here, Buy a lock and hang it, then throw away the key, you can avoid disasters and seek happiness and good fortune. On the way up the mountain, I also bought a small copper lock for five yuan. I also wrote my and my bf’s names on it. I did not hang this lock at Jinsuoguan, but on the balcony facing Dongfeng. When climbing Mount Huashan, the owner of a roadside shop will kindly and enthusiastically invite you to sit down and rest for a while, and tell you that you have already climbed half of the distance or that you only have ten minutes to the place where you can watch the sunrise. The journey is over. We have encountered this situation several times. One piece of advice here is to never listen to their nonsense. They tell you that you have climbed halfway or maybe you have not finished a quarter of the climb. If they tell you that you can reach the top in ten minutes, it means that you have to climb for another hour and a half to two hours. Just arrived at the end. Not long after we passed the ladder, we saw many people resting on the floor in a small shop. The shop owner kept saying that it only takes ten minutes to reach the top of Huashan Mountain. He said that he would have to stay at the top of the mountain for a long time because it was very cold, and he tried his best to Convinced us to rent his cotton coat! Fortunately, we discovered his deception in time and finally spent more than an hour and a half climbing to the balcony to watch the sunrise. In the process of climbing up after passing the Erya, because the altitude is getting higher and higher, the mountain wind is getting stronger and stronger. My body that was sweaty when climbing the mountain will feel cold now, so prepare a thicker jacket in advance. It is very necessary. We wore short-sleeves to climb the mountain, and on the middle peak we saw someone wrapped in a down jacket taking a rest. After reaching the middle peak, you can reach the balcony facing the east peak in less than an hour. The wind here is extremely strong, so if your clothes are thin, rent a cotton coat. It costs ten yuan. Although it is very dirty, it is better than freezing. It was after five o'clock when we arrived at the balcony of Dongfeng, and the sky began to whiten slightly, so we took a good seat and started waiting. Because we were so tired, we actually fell asleep. When I woke up, the sun was about to come out. First, the sea of ??clouds slowly turned orange, then the sun revealed a fiery red crescent, then a smaller half, then a half, and finally the whole thing rose into the sky. It sounds very slow, but in fact, the sun will come out very quickly, just a few minutes, so don't miss it, otherwise you will suffer a big loss, haha.

People around me started taking pictures, and I took one too. Unfortunately, my hair was a mess and my expression was haggard. It was as ugly as it could be! ~~ Be very careful when watching the sunrise from the balcony, especially don’t get too close to the cliff chain to take pictures. I heard from the staff that watching the sunrise here not long ago was so crowded that someone fell in.
