Xi'an

Day 1: After 13 hour train, arrive at Xi 'an Railway Station at 7: 00 in the morning. Store the extra luggage first, and it's easy to find the No.5 bus stop when crossing the road. After waiting in line for 10 minutes, I got on the bus leaving for the East Line at 8: 30. First arrive at the foot of Mount Li (station name: Museum), walk back about 50 meters, there is a sign of Mount Li, walk along the mountain road 15 minutes to reach the main entrance of Mount Li Forest Park. The route of Tour 5 is: Lishan Cableway-Huaqing Pool-Museum. It should be noted that the museum refers to Lintong Museum.

* Tip: Climbing Mount Li by cableway and walking Mount Li are two different doors, and the distance between them is about 3 miles. You must think carefully before climbing the mountain. We didn't find out until we got there. What is even more infuriating is that the staff of the museum said that they could climb the mountain from here. They bought tickets for the museum without much thought, but were told that they could not climb Mount Li from here. I hope the donkey friends are careful! The first thing you believe in when traveling is the road sign, the second is the map, and the third is yourself.

Standing at the gate of Lishan Forest Park overlooking Huaqing Pool, you can have a panoramic view. Perhaps it is too well maintained to appreciate the breath of history. Everyone is familiar with the love story of Huaqingchi, but Huaqingchi in front of him is a commercial atmosphere. As for Mount Li, I have lost interest in it because of my previous experience of being cheated. This is just a forest park. The staff of Lishan Scenic Area also disapprove of the staff of Yamashita Museum selling tickets in the name of Lishan Mountain, perhaps because they are used to being cheated by tourists.

Go down along another mountain road under maintenance. Stop-and-go, the mood also relaxed a lot. All the way to the main entrance of Huaqingchi, it was magnificent and crowded with tourists, but I didn't feel like going in. Tickets are expensive, 70 yuan. Feeling worthless, I took a ride and went straight to the mausoleum of Qin Emperor. Looking around outside the door, I felt that I didn't want to go in, but I had to go all the way over the mountains without visiting the temple, so I decided to go in and have a look. I climbed to the top of the Qin Mausoleum in one breath and looked in all directions. It's very open and imposing. Just in time for the sacrificial performance of the King of Qin at 10: 30, including the civil and military sacrifices, I watched it for about 10 minutes. I bought a pack of mulberries from a vendor outside the Qin Mausoleum, which was much bigger than what I saw and tasted sweet.

I didn't see a sign on the parking lot of Terracotta Warriors, and the brand of tourist souvenirs was very eye-catching. It takes about 20 minutes to walk to the door of the real terracotta warriors and horses, and the ticket is 90. First, go to the ball screen movie, and then go to three terracotta warriors and horses pits and exhibition halls in turn. The terracotta warriors and horses are really shocking. Return to the city around 3 pm.

I went to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda Square in the evening. The large street park is especially beautiful at night. There is a fountain performance at 8 pm, which is said to be the largest in Asia (free). But we missed it, what a pity!

The next day: breakfast: East Street-Laosunjia mutton in soup.

Starting from Lao Sun's restaurant, follow the directions of the road sign and walk for about 15 minutes to find Lv Duan Gate. Below the gate is the Forest of Steles Museum. If you take a bus, it's at Lv Duan Gate Station.

The Forest of Steles Museum is a place worth visiting. The environment is quiet and the buildings have their own characteristics. Walking inside seems to smell the book. Another major feature of the forest of steles is not all kinds of stone tablets, but primitive stone carvings and epitaphs. There are also several statues of Shi Xiangsheng in Tangganling.

Next to Beilin Museum is Ancient Culture Street. At the end of Guwen Street, there is a wide road. Walk along this road for about 30 minutes, and you will reach the bell tower. I spent most of the afternoon here, shopping and eating snacks, waiting for the 2 1 19 train to Chengdu after four o'clock.

Day 3: Train 2 1 19 is a slow train, and it feels a little late. Unexpectedly, Chengdu time is 9: 45 on time. I don't understand why. After leaving Chengdu Railway Station, you can buy a train ticket to Chongqing in three days, 52 yuan. I found the No.44 bus to Chadianzi Changtu Station in the railway station square, which takes about 30 minutes. Suggestion: The bus around the railway station is developed, safe and affordable. If you take a taxi, detouring is the same thing as wasting time. The more important problem is that it is difficult to ensure safety. Because many drivers' psychology is not only to earn taxi money from foreign tourists, but also to earn ticket money from tourists. I think this is also the disgust of the majority of donkey friends!

It's convenient to buy tickets at Chadianzichangtu Station to Dujiangyan Bus Terminal, and take the expressway 15 yuan. It's about 50 minutes' journey. Then buy a ticket from Dujiangyan Bus Terminal to Qingcheng Houshan. The fare is 9.5 yuan. Arrive around 1 p.m. The mountain roads along the way are winding and the scenery is beautiful. Before we decided to visit the back of Qingcheng Mountain, we already knew that it was not enough to visit the back of Qingcheng Mountain for half a day through many articles by donkey friends. But considering the crowded tourist area, strong commercial atmosphere and a mountain of humanistic buildings, I have no interest at all. We are not cultural people, and we don't want to know more about historical allusions and cultural background. We just want to find a quiet and natural place to feel it.

I had lunch at the foot of the back mountain of Qingcheng, and started climbing at about 1: 30. First walk along the highway for a while, and then walk for a few minutes after the archway of Tai 'an Ancient Town. Then you can take the scenic tour bus (3 yuan) to climb the mountain. Walking and playing, I arrived at another village before four o'clock. Faster than we thought. There are indeed many scenic spots further up the mountain, but because of the tight time, I decided to take the cableway not far away. Because the last bus from Qingcheng Houshan to Dujiangyan is 18: 00. Just in time for the five o'clock bus to Dujiangyan, I rushed back to the tea shop. I think we spend much more time on the road than browsing in Qingcheng Mountain, but the beautiful scenery of Qingcheng really can't stand our hard work.

Dinner is at the old stove hot pot in northern Sichuan on Wuhou Temple Street. Many locals come here to eat, and the atmosphere is hot. Unfortunately, they don't understand Sichuan dialect, so they have to bury their heads in eating. The consumption level is similar to that of Beijing, and the taste is authentic.

Day 4: Take a bus from Xinnanmen Bus Station to Leshan Xiaoba at 9: 55 in the morning. The fare is 42 yuan. It's a little expensive, but the car is in good condition Arrive at xiaoba at noon 12. As soon as we got off the bus, many people were introduced to take the 13 road 1 yuan to see the giant Buddha. I'm a little puzzled. There are still people soliciting customers in the car (guess: it's probably because they have to take them to buy tickets for scenic spots in their car. ) We still took the local train on expressway, but we can't remember which one. Anyway, we got off at Leshan Port.

You can't see the giant Buddha at Leshan Port Station, but you can walk along the levee. The closer to the Buddha. Because most tourists visit Wuyou Temple-Giant Buddha Scenic Area on the other side, there are not many people on this side of the levee. After walking along the riverbank for about ten minutes, I saw a boat crossing the river, and then took a few steps to Li's main entrance. This is the local ferry pier. I ate rice noodles in a nearby restaurant and took a small ferry across the river to Fengzhouba. This island is really a good place to see the giant Buddha. Suggestion: If you want to appreciate the grandeur of the giant Buddha, you should be closer to it, climb the plank road next to it and visit the Buddha Temple. If time is short and you don't want to go to places with many tourists, you can consider the same route as ours.

14:40 Take the bus from Xiaoba Bus Terminal and go directly to Baoguosi Station in Emei. 15 yuan/person. There seems to be a lot of buses to Emei Passenger Transport Center, but it is more troublesome to transfer, so we think it is more convenient to choose a through train, which takes about 40 minutes by car.

It's past three o'clock at Emei Mountain Tourism Service Center. I bought a ticket to Pingping here, and it takes 2 hours and 30 minutes for each person to go to 30 yuan. When planning the tour route of Emei Mountain, we already know that the area here is very large, unlike ordinary scenic spots, we can visit it conveniently. You need to study the map carefully and choose the route. It takes more than two hours to drive from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. Arrived at the ping parking lot smoothly around six o'clock. As soon as I got off the bus, many receptionists in the surrounding hotels surrounded me and chose the nearest one. The night here is cold and humid, so we chose a standard room with air conditioning, 120 yuan.

It's peaceful in May, and it's still bright at six or seven o'clock in the evening. Decided to go out before dinner. First go along the mountain road to Xixiangchi Scenic Area. On the way, you can see azaleas and wild monkey areas. I walked less than 15 minutes and began to return. The reason is that tourists are the least at this time, and monkeys are more rampant. Seeing monkeys from a distance is a bit scary. I can't help it. Who will let it go?

Turn back and walk along the garage road to Jinding. This is a relatively open road. It's getting late and there's no bus to go. It's nice to walk here. The scenery of Mount Emei is very beautiful, and the air at night is very comfortable. Enjoy the sunset in Emei by the way. I went back to my place to eat and didn't go out to prepare for the early morning of tomorrow.

Day 5: I went out after breakfast at six in the morning. It was still dark outside, put on a disposable raincoat prepared in advance and set off. In order to get to Jinding as soon as possible, we took the cableway at 6: 30. The cost is about 40 up and 35 down. Unfortunately, the weather is bad, and the golden dome is covered with fog, and the visibility is about 5 meters. Jinding Temple is still under construction, but the appearance of the newly built Buddhist temple and the shock of Pu Xian's sitting statue are faintly visible. Or take the cableway down the mountain and then turn to Wannian Temple. The downhill speed is relatively fast, about 1 hour. Then take the cableway to the Wannian Temple on the mountain.

Tickets for Wannian Temple 10 yuan, but the density of tour groups far exceeds our imagination. There are also monkeys around the temple. I visited Wannian Temple and walked along the mountain road to Yin Qing Bridge. When you arrive at the pavilion in Shuangqiao Yin Qing, there is a mountain road leading directly to the monkey area. It's the same direction as Hong Chunping. The management of the monkey area is still there. There are signs to remind you of matters needing attention, and there is a special bag storage place. Every three or five steps, there are scenic spot administrators. Along the way, tourists were still scratched, bitten or robbed by monkeys. The reason is that tourists want to feed the monkeys, or want to get close to them and take pictures together, but there are always ungrateful monkeys.

All the way down the mountain to Wuxiangang parking lot, take a bus back to Emei Mountain Tourism Service Center, then turn back to Chengdu Xinnanmen Station, and everyone will go to 35 yuan. It will arrive around six o'clock. Go to Chunxi Road by bus.

Chunxi Road Pedestrian Street is very lively. Before I found the dragon wonton soup, I found the restaurant of Zhong Dumplings. I ordered a snack set meal, which basically included all the Chengdu snacks we were looking for. Delicious and affordable.

Day 6: The train leaves for Chongqing at 7: 40 in the morning. /kloc-arrive around 0/2. The feeling of mountain city is really different. If you want to go anywhere, you must climb the mountain first. It is also difficult to read the map. After all, three-dimensional and plane feel different. The escalator in Chongqing is very interesting, with a total length of112m, which is said to be the longest and convenient in Asia. After leaving the railway station, you can take the escalator to Zhongshan No.3 Road. Rest at noon and come to Chaotianmen Square in the afternoon. The overall feeling of Chongqing is chaotic, and the scenery around Chaotianmen has also been destroyed by chaotic construction. Take a taxi from here for 5 minutes to Jiefang North Pedestrian Street. The feeling here is fashionable, but Jie Fangbei in the center has a sense of history. Delicious street is also here. Originally, it was said that the hot pot was delicious, but after eating delicious street food, the hot pot was forgotten. That's a real pity. .

Day 7: Take Bus No.808 from the railway station to ciqikou ancient town. It will arrive in about 40 minutes. Because many shops close early and there are not many tourists, it feels good to walk in the street. It is also very convenient to go to Geleshan from the ancient town. You can visit Hongyan Memorial Square, Baigongguan and Zhazidong by the way. We went to the first two places.

In fact, the location of the ancient town and Geleshan should be that Geleshan is in front and the ancient town is behind; Judging from the itinerary and schedule, it is more reasonable to go to Geleshan first. At four o'clock in the afternoon, I took the airport bus from the city center and arrived at the airport in less than 40 minutes, much earlier than expected.
