⚠️Pitfalls to avoid
✅ Tour groups have no shopping stops, but many optional activities ("Resurrected Legion" at 268 yuan is a bit expensive, you can choose just the Terracotta Warriors)
✅ Xi'an Museum is closed on Tuesdays! Can be replaced with drinking Smashing Bowl Wine at Yongxing Fang
❌ Climbing the Big Wild Goose Pagoda costs 25 yuan but isn't worth it, taking photos from outside looks better
❌ The persimmon pancakes on the main street of Muslim Quarter are too sweet, be careful!
