Are there many tourists in Xi on National Day?

There are many tourists in National Day Xi. Whether it is the public platform, various media, or Xi 'an tourism statistics, "many people" is the outstanding feature of this year's Xi 'an National Day holiday. National Day is the festival with the largest number of tourists in a year, and people are everywhere, especially the historic city and tourist city Xi 'an.

Xi Xi is the capital city with the most dynasties and the greatest influence in the history of China. In historical records, it is known as "Huang Jincheng thousands of miles away, the land of abundance". Most of the scenic spots in Xi 'an are historical sites, and the ancient city walls, the Wild Goose Pagoda and the Bell (Drum) Pagoda in the urban area cannot be missed.

1. The ancient city wall, also known as Xi Anming City Wall, is the most complete existing ancient city wall in China, ranking second in the country in length. Along with Pingyao City Wall, Jingzhou City Wall and Xingcheng City Wall, they are the four most intact ancient city walls in China.

There is a moat around the city wall, and the famous Xi 'an Bell and Drum Tower is located in the middle of the city wall. Visitors can choose to walk or ride bicycles around the city gate. The road on the gate is uneven, so be careful when riding a bike.

2. The Wild Goose Pagoda is located in the south of the city. Jionji is a magnificent royal temple in Chang 'an in Tang Dynasty. Built in the period of Emperor Taizong, it was built by Prince Li Zhi in memory of his mother, Empress Wende. Master Xuanzang, who returned from studying Buddhism in the West, was the "first host". During this period, the mage supervised the construction of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.

Today's Dajian Temple was built on the basis of the original temple "West Tower Courtyard" in the Ming Dynasty, and most of the existing halls are buildings in the Qing Dynasty. The main buildings on the central axis of the temple are Daxiong Hall, Fatang Hall, Wild Goose Pagoda and Genjyo Sanzo Courtyard in turn. Among them, the Buddhist relic and the top bone of Master Xuanzang, which are enshrined in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and Genjyo Sanzo Courtyard respectively, are the treasures of Daxian Temple.

3. Drum Tower The Drum Tower of Xi faces the bell tower, which is one of the landmark buildings of the ancient city. Drum Tower was built in the 13th year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1380). When you climb the Drum Tower, you can see a big drum with a height of 1.8m, and the red drum of 24 solar terms is engraved on 24 sides, which is very imposing. This drum tower also displays Ming and Qing furniture, porcelain and Qi Baishi's paintings and calligraphy.

Between the Drum Tower and the Bell Tower is the Bell and Drum Tower Square, dotted with green grass and red flowers, with a unique musical fountain. The night scene here is beautiful and suitable for taking pictures. Behind the Drum Tower is Huimin Street, where there are many delicious foods.
