🚶‍♀️Itinerary
Day 1:
📍Terracotta Army of Emperor Qin Shi Huang: The eighth wonder of the world, a must-visit! It's recommended to hire a guide; the stories of these sleeping warriors are truly breathtaking (Address: Qinling North Road, Lintong District)

📍Huimin Street: Dinner here! Try the red willow kebabs and Lao Sun's paomo until you can barely walk

Day 2:
📍Shaanxi History Museum: Free but very hard to get tickets! Book 3 days in advance (closed on Mondays)
📍Giant Wild Goose Pagoda: The place where Xuanzang translated scriptures, the music fountain at the North Square is stunning at night
📍Tang Paradise: Instantly transport yourself to the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the roly-poly girl is right here

Day 3:
📍City Wall Cycling: Enter from Yongning Gate, rent a bike to circle the city wall—super cool (Ticket 54 RMB)

3. You can buy a 30 RMB Treasure Hall ticket at Shaanxi History Museum to skip the line
4. Visit the city wall at dusk to catch the sunset and avoid the sun
