Brief Introduction of "China High-speed Railway Tour" Series

This topic starts from Chengdu, the city where the author lives, and runs through 100 tourist cities across the country along the high-speed rail (the route is not repeated, but completed in one line). Each city has a question, a theme and an article, and deeply digs into the natural and humanistic tourism culture of the city.

Not travel notes, not raiders, but urban tourism observation with taste, attitude and analysis!

Daxi high-speed railway

D2507, Taiyuan South-Xi 'anbei, lasting 2 hours and 56 minutes.

Xi 'an, one of the four ancient capitals in the world, was built by 13 dynasties, leaving countless historical sites in this period. According to statistics, there are as many as 72 imperial tombs around Xi 'an, and 2 sites with 6 heritages are listed in the World Heritage List.

On the other hand, many scenic spots in Xi 'an Shanzhai have been frequently exposed recently, and some A-level regular scenic spots have been constantly spit out due to poor management and high prices.

Then, when traveling to Xi 'an, what value-added scenic spots must be visited, and what scenic spots should be avoided?

Today's article will take you to Xi 'an, the 54th stop of the "China High-speed Railway Tour" series.

Xi' an general situation

Xi 'an, known as Chang 'an in ancient times, is the capital of Shaanxi Province and one of the four ancient capitals in China and even the world. Located in the middle of Guanzhong Plain, it is adjacent to Weihe River in the north and Qinling Mountain in the south, with a superior geographical position.

Chang 'an has been the imperial capital since ancient times, and 13 dynasties established their capitals here. This is an important birthplace of Chinese civilization and the Chinese nation, and also the starting point of the Silk Road.

As a world-renowned tourist attraction in China, Xi 'an has two and six heritages listed in the World Heritage List, and has precious cultural and historical sites such as Xi 'an City Wall, Terracotta Warriors, Bell and Drum Tower and Wild Goose Pagoda.

0 1/ Top 5 Best Value

Xi 'an, an ancient capital that experienced the rise and fall of 13 dynasty, is a historical legend of this ancient city, whether it is the Terracotta Warriors, the ancient city wall that has experienced vicissitudes, or the Big Wild Goose Pagoda built by Xuanzang. Walking into Chang 'an is like being in a huge treasure house of cultural relics, just waiting for you to savor it. The following five scenic spots are the essence of the essence, so don't miss them.

TOP 1 Shaanxi History Museum

Shaanxi History Museum is located in the northwest of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in xi City. It is one of the landmark attractions of Xi and the first large-scale modern national museum in China.

Give me a day, and I will pay you back 10 thousand years. There are more than 370,000 pieces of cultural relics in the museum, which are not only large in number and complete in variety, but also of high grade and value. The collection is dazzling and exquisite, and it is known as "the pearl of the ancient capital and the treasure house of China".

The essence of China's 5,000-year-old civilization is concentrated here. Among them, the Shang and Zhou bronzes were exquisite, the pottery figurines of past dynasties were varied, the gold and silver wares of Han and Tang dynasties were unique in China, and the murals of Tang tombs were unparalleled in the world.

The most important thing is that the tickets here are free. You can get it for free with your ID card, or you can make an appointment online, which is great value.

TOP2 Terracotta Warriors Museum

Qin Shihuang Terracotta Warriors Museum is located in the east of Qin Shihuang Mausoleum in Lintong District, Xi. As the burial pit of Qin Shihuang's mausoleum, it enjoys the reputation of "the eighth wonder of the world".

More than 1000 soldier terracotta figures have been unearthed here, which are magnificent, with different images and realistic expressions, and are known as "one of the great discoveries in the archaeological history of the 20th century".

As one of the top ten treasures of ancient tombs in the world, nearly 200 heads of state and government have visited here one after another, which can be described as "you have never been to China without looking at the terracotta warriors".

Compared with its historical value, the peak season ticket 150 yuan (off-season ticket 120 yuan) is really not very expensive.

TOP3 Xi angu city wall

Xi 'an ancient city wall, located in the center of Xi, has a history of 1400 years. It is the landmark landscape of the ancient capital Xi and the most intact ancient city wall in China.

The wall around Chang 'an is impregnable and magnificent. Climb up the stairs, take a walk, you can overlook the whole city, and you can also stroll around by bike and watch wonderful performances.

It is worth mentioning that there are bicycle rental services in 54 yuan, such as going to the city wall, southeast and northwest. And the road surface is uneven, so you should be careful when riding.

Around the Big Wild Goose Pagoda

The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is located in Jeju, south of Xi 'an, which contains Buddhist relics and the top bone of Master Xuanzang. The Hall of the Great Hero was built by Master Xuanzang, who came back from studying Buddhism in the West. It is also the most magnificent royal temple in Chang 'an in Tang Dynasty.

There are squares in the north and south directions of Grand Jeju, and the North Square is one of the largest Tang Wenhua theme squares in China, which consists of the central music fountain, the Grand View Garden of Traditional Opera and the Grand View Garden of Folk Customs on the east and west sides.

Jionji tickets 50 yuan, Big Wild Goose Pagoda Lighthouse 30 yuan. Visiting the North and South Square of Big Wild Goose Pagoda is free, and you can also enjoy the largest grand music fountain in Asia.

TOP5 Bell and Drum Tower

Xi 'an Bell Tower is located in the center of Xi, which was built during the Hongwu period of Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1384). It is the largest and most complete bell tower in China and one of the landmark buildings in Xi 'an, the ancient city.

On the west side of the bell tower, stands the largest drum tower in China, including a big drum with a height of 1.8 meters and 24 red drums engraved with 24 solar terms, which is magnificent.

During the day, you can buy a bell and drum coupon (the price is 50 yuan) and enjoy the performance of "Morning Bell and Twilight Drum". When the lights first came on, it was the most beautiful night scene in Xi. "On the willow shoots, people meet after dusk". Coming here is like dreaming, as if crossing back to the distant prosperous Tang Dynasty.

02/ The top 5 most unworthy

The other side of beauty is often dark. On the Internet, there are not a few articles about Xi's tourism chaos, and the secretary of the Xi Municipal Party Committee even called "I'm sorry for tourists who come to Xi". In fact, the chaotic situation of Xi tourism has been exposed many times, but it has been repeatedly banned. And every wonderful event that is exposed is intangible damage to the image of Xi' an city. Next, let's take a look at the most unworthy scenic spots in Xi.

Eight wonders of the world Pavilion

The buildings in eight wonders of the world are simulated here, and the workmanship is shoddy. It is impossible to understand the "miracle" of those buildings, and it has nothing to do with the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum.

The colorful terracotta warriors and horses with double eyelids and red mouths make people feel ridiculous. In order to save personnel, even the narrator is a wax dummy. It really thundered!

TOP2 Qinling underground palace

At first glance, the underground palace of Qin Mausoleum seems to be the underground palace of Qin Shihuang's mausoleum. As everyone knows, it is a simulated scenic spot copied by an enterprise according to historical records.

There is only a small exhibition hall of more than 200 square meters, surrounded by wax figures. Walking around the sand table took less than 10 minutes. Excuse me, where is the attraction?

TOP3 hongmen banquet scene &; Xiangwangying

Known by historians as "the feast of the ages" and "the first banquet in the world", the Hongmen Banquet is not well-known, but it is also an out-and-out man-made attraction like the first two attractions.

The portraits and exhibits here are shoddy, and even the English translation is full of loopholes. A strong shanzhai flavor, blowing in my face. Of course, there are fortune tellers, and lying to you is not negotiable.

TOP4 Epang Palace Site

Epang Palace, boy, is another big BOSS. Those who have never heard of this name can go back to wash and sleep.

The Epang Palace site, with the word "site", has a very different meaning. As a scenic spot, it is completely artificial and has no bright spots. It is said that due to various reasons, it has been demolished and no longer exists (indeed like the fate of Epang Palace).

TOP5 Daming Palace National Heritage Park

It's the word "palace" again with the word "country". I don't know. But the so-called "site" is nothing more than the meaning of site. New buildings are imitations, and we can only recall the past and present by imagination.

In all fairness, this is a fairly formal scenic spot, which is essentially different from the previous one. Except for the stone foundation left behind, it is empty inside, so you should pay attention to heatstroke prevention in summer (on the contrary, it is cooler to have trees outside).
