Exploring the Ancient Capital of Xi'an

An immersive historical journey into a thousand-year-old city✨

Xi'an is truly a city rich in cultural heritage, not only filled with historical sites but also offering a wide variety of delicious food. The entire trip felt like walking through history 📜💫

📍 Terracotta Warriors & Huaqing Palace
Joined a one-day local tour, starting with the Terracotta Warriors in the morning. Seeing rows of warriors standing right in front of you was absolutely breathtaking! Then, we visited Huaqing Palace to experience the poetic love story of Yang Guifei and Emperor Xuanzong 🫶🏻

📍 Walking Experience on Xi'an City Wall 🧍
Walking a full circle on the ancient city wall, stepping on thousand-year-old bricks, felt incredibly ceremonial. Along the way, you can enjoy views of the ancient city, take photos while feeling the breeze—comfortable and enjoyable. Highly recommend setting aside extra time to "walk" and immerse yourself in Xi'an's historical rhythm.

📍 Food Hunt at Muslim Street 🍡🍖🍜
You won't want to stop! Roujiamo, Liangpi, Yangrou Paomo, Biangbiang noodles, peanut cakes... I wanted to try them all! There are also many unique shops selling souvenirs—I couldn't resist buying a few boxes to bring back to Hong Kong 😆.

📍 Tang Paradise & Great Tang All Day Mall 🎆🏮
A must-visit at night! The lighting is stunning, and there are free performances with an amazing atmosphere—perfect for couples or friends to take photos and check in 📸!

📍 Chang'an Twelve Hours Street ⏰👘
If you love Chinese aesthetics, this is a must-see! The restoration is incredibly detailed, and you can rent Hanfu for beautiful photos. There are also many interactive photo spots—fun and full of vibes 😍.

📍 Shaanxi History Museum & Xi'an Museum 🏺
Free admission, but remember to make a reservation! The exhibits are rich and provide a deeper understanding of Tang Dynasty culture—a must-visit for history enthusiasts!

✨ Summary:
Walking through the thousand-year-old city on foot offers more charm and depth than cycling. Xi'an is perfect for travelers who love culture, history, and food—a comfortable yet fulfilling itinerary 🫶🏻

📌 Next time, I want to visit again in autumn. Walking the city wall while admiring the red leaves should be even more poetic 🍁
