Xi travel guide Ming and Qing dynasties Qingming Xi an good place to go

Ming and Qing Dynasties-the last two feudal dynasties in China's history, because they were both built in the Forbidden City in Beijing today, there are few cultural relics left in Xi 'an, but after careful excavation, we can still see the footprints of Ming and Qing Dynasties.

I. Xi Anzhong Drum Tower

Xi 'an Bell Tower was built in the 17th year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty. It is an attic-style building with three drops of water on two eaves and a pyramid-shaped roof at four corners. Divided into upper and lower floors, from the platform on the steps into the first floor to the base. The hall is surrounded by platforms, the top of which is a lattice painted caisson, and the second floor is surrounded by wooden lattice doors and windows communicating with the veranda. The roof is inlaid with green glazed tiles, and the whole building looks magnificent.

Drum Tower was built in the 13th year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty. It is built in the center of a tall rectangular platform, with seven rooms wide and three rooms deep, surrounded by cloisters, and the building structure adopts double eaves, three drops of water and glazed tile roof. The building is divided into two floors, three floors with double eaves, and it is a beam-type pavilion building. On the first floor, the waist eaves are flat, and on the second floor, the double eaves rest on the top of the mountain, with green glazed tiles. The eaves and seats of the building are decorated with turquoise painted arches, which makes the whole building look distinct and magnificent.

Second, gaos thought compound.

Gaos Courtyard is located at the North Courtyard Gate of Lianhu District, Xi City. Built in the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, it has a history of more than 400 years. It is the former residence of Gao, the second person in Qing Dynasty. It is the largest, most intact and longest-lasting official residence in Xi 'an Old Town. The whole courtyard is a three-courtyard, four-entrance style, which completely retains rooms with different functions, such as guest rooms, halls, wing rooms, main rooms, study rooms, gardens, ancestral halls, private schools, theaters and so on. The square pattern in the courtyard, the orderly space of respect and inferiority, the vigorous and honest style, and the quiet courtyard in the noise are isolated from the hubbub. The scenic spot mainly displays the imperial examination culture of Ming and Qing dynasties, and the display of words, pictures and objects restores the arduous course of the imperial examination and the infinite glory after the examination. At the same time, in the scenic area, you can also listen to a song "Huayin Old Tune", watch a new shadow play, and feel the majestic posture and delicate acting skills of Shaanxi local opera.

Three. Xi' an city wall

Xi 'an City Wall is the most intact ancient city wall in China so far, with a total length of 13.74 km, including moat, suspension bridge, gatehouse, watchtower and turret. Visitors can take photos and punch cards on the wall in Hanfu, or rent a bicycle in the rental service office to feel the wind on the wall. It is best to climb the city wall in the early morning or evening. The breeze in the morning is slow, and the light at night is easier to shine.
