Must-visit places in Xi'an Travel FAQs about Xi'an Travel

The night view of Xi'an is really beautiful. Although not everyone can get used to the food in Xi'an, Xi'an is indeed a very good attraction. Now let's go and take a look at the guide about Xi'an.

1. How should I arrange a three-day trip to Xi'an?

To be honest, there are so many fun and delicious things to do in Xi'an and its surrounding areas. It would be difficult to visit them all. It's been half a month. Not many of my friends have saved up their vacation time to come to Xi'an. They have limited time and want to have a good time. So I will recommend you a route in the city so that you can maximize the charm of Xi'an.

The first day: Shaanxi Provincial History Museum - Big Wild Goose Pagoda (Da Ci'en Temple) - Tang Dynasty Furong Garden - Big Wild Goose Pagoda North Square.

The next day: Drum Tower - Bell Tower - Academy Gate - Xi'an Ancient City Wall - Muslim Street.

The third day: Huaqing Palace - Lishan - Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang - Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.

For accommodation, it is recommended to stay near the Bell and Drum Towers. Not only is it close to the scenic spots, the night view is beautiful, but the most important thing is that there are really many delicious food.

2. What popular Shaanxi food is there in Xi'an?

Most people come here just for a bowl of mutton steamed buns. Eating mutton steamed buns is very particular. You have to cut it into small pieces yourself and add spicy sauce and candied garlic to make it delicious.

Of course, in addition to mutton steamed buns, locals also like to eat stir-fried steamed buns, which are two brothers. Mutton steamed buns are steamed buns cooked with clear soup, while stir-fried steamed buns have more ingredients than mutton. The steamed buns contain more green vegetables, dried tofu, fungus, and day lily, and are stir-fried with vinegar and oily spicy seeds. Therefore, not only the soup is much less, but it is also sour and spicy.

Gourd head steamed buns are made with large intestine. The fishy smell of the intestines is removed, which will bring out the aroma of the large intestine itself. Others

There are cured meat steamed buns, cured beef steamed buns, Sanqin set meal (Bingfeng, Liangpi, Roujiamo), halal rice steamed pork, halal steamed buns, eight-treasure porridge, meatballs and spicy soup , steamer cakes, and various pastas.

You must eat all the above mentioned. If you don’t eat it, come back next time.

3. How to play at the Xi'an City Wall? When is the best time to go there?

Usually you choose to climb the city wall in the afternoon on a sunny day, around 15-16 o'clock. I chose this time mainly because Xi'an is the most beautiful when the sun sets!

If the weather is cloudy, it can be visited all day without too much sun.

The ticket price is 54 yuan, and the rental bicycle is 45 yuan, and the duration is 100 minutes. There are only four rental and return cars, four gates in the southeast, northwest, and south gate after 18:00. The city wall has eight upper and lower entrances, namely: East Gate (Changle Gate), South Gate (Yongning Gate), West Gate (Anding Gate), North Gate (Anyuan Gate), Heping Gate, Wenchang Gate, Hanguang Gate, and Shangde Gate. You can choose to buy tickets to visit the city nearby. There will also be performances in the South Gate Square, don’t forget to watch it!

There are cruise ships in the moat that you can ride on, which is another way to play with the city walls. The Academy Gate in the South Gate, the Forest of Steles in the Heping Gate, Yongxingfang in the Xiaodongmen, the Railway Station in Jianguomen, Guangren Temple in Yuxiangmen, and Shuncheng Lane in Xiaonanmen are all very interesting. A unique and fun place!

4. How to go deep into Xi'an and feel the temperament of the ancient capital?

The temperament of Xi'an is not only found in those well-known big IPs, but also in more niche places. You can feel the heritage of Xi'an.

The Shaanxi History Museum and Forest of Steles, the Huajue Lane Mosque hidden behind Muslim Street, the Guangren Temple in the northwest corner of the Ming City Wall in Xi'an, the Banpo Museum, etc., are the attractions of many people who come to Xi'an. I didn’t have time to play it, but it was very characteristic of Xi’an.

5. Are there any good places for photography in Xi’an that will wow your friends?

Of course, the first choice is the Art District. This will make you look more unique. Others go to big attractions that everyone goes to, but you play in a more niche and special way. We recommend the three major art districts in Xi'an: Dahua 1995, Old Steel Factory Art District and Banpo International Art District.

Dahua·1935 is the art district closest to the city. The Chang'an Dahua Textile Factory was put into production in 1935. It now covers Dahua Museum, small theater cluster, cultural and art center, boutique hotels, specialty restaurants, Shopping area etc.

The Old Steel Factory Design Creative Industrial Park is the smallest of the three art districts. Following Shanghai Red Square and Beijing 798, it is Xi'an's first urban theme industrial park with the theme of design creativity. A design creative industrial park that combines loft creative office space and green garden office environment - "Old Steel Factory Design Creative Industrial Park".

Banpo International Art District has very convenient transportation. Take Metro Line 1 to Banpo Station, exit C and head south for 200 meters.

In addition, I would like to recommend another place to everyone, including Daxingshan Temple, Small Wild Goose Pagoda, Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts, and the south gate. They are both antique and artistic, and you are guaranteed to get the most out of your photos. Photos of the ticket circle!
