Xi'an is a city that feels like a holiday

Xi’an absolutely blew my mind! 🤩 We squeezed sooo much into just two days after leaving Beijing, and TBH, I think Xi’an was even more fun! The city’s vibes are super chill—every stop felt like a celebration.

We kicked things off with a walk through the Muslim Quarter (Muslim Quarter Address: Huimin Street, Lianhu District, Xi’an 710001, Open all day). The street snacks and buzzing energy were NEXT LEVEL! Then, snapped epic pics at the Bell Tower in the heart of downtown (Bell Tower Address: Bei Lin Qu, Xincheng Rd, Xi’an 710007; Open 8:30AM–9:30PM). The architecture here is so photogenic—no filter needed!

Saw the Tang Dynasty show, emoji-worthy fabulousness all the way! Pro-tip: Look up times early; some shows sell out fast.

You can’t come to Xi’an without the world-famous Terracotta Army—every warrior is an IRL legend (Terracotta Army Address: Lintong District, Xi’an 710600; Opening hours 8:30AM–5:30PM). The site is massive, so wear comfy shoes and plan for at least half a day exploring.

We squeezed in the City Wall (City Wall Address: Yingbin West Rd, Beilin District, Xi’an 710001; Open 8:00AM–8:00PM), soaking up both history and killer views.

The Great Wild Goose Pagoda (Address: Yanta District, Xi'an 710061; Open 8:00AM–5:00PM) gave off major zen vibes, and the Everbright City’s wild fountain show lit up the night in style.

Next time, I’m 100% dressing up in Hanfu for photos. Xi’an is honestly the definition of beautiful. Already dreaming about my next trip back!
