Line 1 to the Bell Tower is spaced half an hour apart, all others are 1 hour. And it doesn't matter if it's full or not, it's not sent until the point. So it is recommended to exchange distance for time, based on who drives first. Airport to downtown 1 hour.

There is a bus parking lot in front of the train station. Tour 1 (Huashan), Tour 2, Tour 5 (Huaqing Pond, Terracotta Warriors) are all there.

Day 1 afternoon

Original The plan was to visit the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, the landmark of Xi'an. However, due to a delayed flight, it was already 4:30pm when I arrived in the city, and I didn't catch the opening time of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda (which ends at 5pm).

After checking in, I took a taxi and went straight to the Datang Hibiscus Garden (which ends at 10pm in summer).

The current year-round promotional ticket price is 45 RMB.

The Hibiscus Garden is a man-made Tang culture theme park, and the layout, cultural flavor, and activities are all good and worth the price.

The Lion Dance performance that starts at 6pm in the evening is wonderful, with a high degree of difficulty that is not comparable to that of a grassroots troupe.

2015 began the colorful car and water screen movie, it can be. It can claim to be the biggest water screen movie in Asia, but by no means the most elaborate. The water screen movie in Singapore that I have seen before seems to have better animated images and object design.

Water screen movie 2050 end. We left the theater a little early, and at a faster pace, rushed to the North Square of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in 15 minutes to see what is known as the world's first musical fountain, which starts at 9 p.m. in the summer. The fountain itself was average, but the crowd of over 10,000 spectators was even more spectacular. There was plenty of activity in the square, from organized vendors to local people dancing. It's a great way to get a quick taste of the local nightlife culture.

It wasn't until 10pm that I had time to eat. I chose to have a late-night snack at Datang Tongyi Square, which I just discovered. This street is a bar street, just west of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. It is quite similar to Hengshan Road in Shanghai.

The next day

The train station to take the tour five (306), less than an hour to the first Huaqingchi. 7 yuan. The whole journey costs 7 yuan. 306 Road, along the way, has passed through the Huaqing Pond, Mount Li, Lintong Museum, the Palace of Earth, the first Emperor's Tomb, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses.

Huaqingchi ticket 70 (Nine Dragon Lake, Tang Royal soup site, Xi'an Incident site five hall)

Mainly to understand the Tang Dynasty bathing culture. The most impressive is not the old site of the Xi'an Incident, nor is the Tang Dynasty bathing culture, but is very recommended to spend 20 yuan, sitting in the beautiful garden to soak a hot spring feet, very relieved of fatigue. If it is two people, relatively drink a tea, if it is four people, play a few decks of cards are very good choice.

If you are not concerned about not missing the Terracotta Warriors, you can't afford to take your feet out.

The door off the original place and then on 306. to the Terracotta Warriors about 20 minutes. Spend 5 yuan electric car fee, you can take a car directly from the ticket office to the inner door.

The Terracotta Warriors and Horses tickets 90 yuan (1, 2, 3 terracotta pits, bronze carriages and horses).

If the crowd is small, you don't need to specially hire a tour guide. Because the place is full of tour guides, feel free to rub it in.

Pit 1 is the largest, the most complete development, the momentum is also good, also worthy of the eighth wonder. But it's not as grand as I thought it would be. 2 and 3, there's almost nothing to see inside. Good things, either exhumed and lost color, or moved to various indoor exhibition hall.

Instead, the two bronze carriages in the exhibition hall, "the crown of bronze", are exquisite and shocking. It's really a "crown".

Out must pass through the antique street. Suggested to paw through the Lantian jade. Buy some cost-effective mid-range goods, is a good souvenir. I bought a pendant and bracelet, ***200. wear on the hand feel good.

Back to the city has nearly 6 o'clock. In the rain, there is no heat and strength to the yearning of the ancient city wall cycling stroll, or to the bell tower drum tower visit.

However, I still want to go to Hui Min Street. But the psychological expectations are lower. Hui Min Street is located directly behind the Drum Tower, there is no pagoda. It is chaotic, but full of lively leisure atmosphere. The meat buns are really good, and we also pick the buns broken good, to save yourself the effort.

50 cents a string of meat skewers, seriously do not recommend, are tendons pull pull, chewing. Cheap is cheap, but almost all thrown away. Better to buy the kind of 2-3 yuan a skewer, good.

Bought specialties: jujubes, sour plum soup, as well as small ornaments on the stalls.

Those trinkets are so nice, I bought 6 necklaces at once.

The jujube is also recommended to buy more, I didn't buy the most dog-head jujube, I bought the more expensive Junjube, which is more delicate to eat. It is recommended to buy more if you can.

Third day Mount Hua

7:00 a.m. train station to take a tour (tour a have this class departure), 22 yuan per person. Directly to Mount Hua. Highway 2 hours to. Remember to go back to the city tour one has two classes, 4:00 pm and 5:00 pm.

Really did not catch up, to the train station travel distribution center to take the car, full of people to send the car.

Other guides on the tour 1 in Mount Huashan on the boarding and disembarkation location is inaccurate. Here is a serious correction:

Tour 1 directly to the cableway ticket point. Come back to this, don't be misled by other buses to the same passengers.

Buy the ticket 120 ¥ (I did not ask for 5 yuan insurance) and scenic minibus tickets (round trip 20 ¥)

Ropeway tickets are not bought here.

The scenic minibus goes to the ropeway station, and you can buy a ropeway ticket here for 150¥ per person round trip.

If it's not a big festival, the queue is OK.

If you're not a super-strong person, don't save money on the round-trip minibus and the round-trip ropeway. Halfway up the climb, you'll realize that all the high prices here are justified.

The 1 yuan gloves are recommended, quite sturdy and practical. There are quite a lot of toilets on the mountain, just about every one of them stinks. If you can not go to try not to go, the smell is very upset stomach.

Huashan 5 peaks.

The general physical strength of the people, and do not intend to spend the night on the mountain, it is recommended to climb the West Peak, up to the South Peak on the return.

Climbing the path is: from the cable car up the mountain, is the north peak area, do not climb to the end, that Huashan Jianjian stone is a new get, no fun.

From Canglongling climbing ladder to Jinlock Pass. This section is a test of most people's physical strength. If you are too tired after this section, you should seriously consider climbing a few peaks on your own.

There are also a few stretcher-bearers among the hard-climbing group. They are the ones who carry the supplies to the hotel on the mountain. Looking at their hardships, you understand why the prices on the mountain are several times higher than those at the bottom.

When the day Huashan repair cableway extension line, it is estimated that the price of goods to go down.

To give you an alternative, in fact, the scenic area opened up another road "Flying Fish Ridge compound road", is to stagger up and down the mountain and repair. The poor physical strength of the people recommended to go directly to this compound road up the mountain, the road is much smoother. The downside is that Canglongling is a famous landmark, so it would be a shame to miss it completely.

Husband had completely collapsed when he reached the Golden Lock Pass. And because of his breaks and stops, I got a breather instead and climbed to the Golden Lock Pass in a relatively normal manner.

When I reached the Golden Lock Pass, I had to choose whether to turn left to the East Peak or right to the West Peak and South Peak.

Choose the right.

The next small col is Zhenyue Palace. Here I paid heavily ($25) for my husband's egg noodles for the night. This hot noodle came up and immediately dispelled my husband's chill and fatigue, and greatly motivated him to keep going.

A little further up is Cuiyun Palace on the West Peak, a famous Taoist temple. It took us a **** of 2 hours to get from the end of the ropeway to Cuiyun Palace on the West Peak. West Peak is indeed the most beautiful peak of Mount Hua, especially from Cuiyungung down to the center of the front of the road, quite a national forest park of Cui and beauty. I took a lot of beautiful photos here.

When I went up the mountain, I came down from the end of the ropeway and ran directly to the direction of Canglongling, without passing through the heavenly stairs along the way. But when I came down, I passed by the stairway without paying attention. The so-called heavenly stairs is a bit exaggerated, at most, the stairs are very narrow, you need to climb upside down.

We got back to the ropeway station early enough to catch the 4:00 tour back to the city.

Day 4 Morning Shaanxi Museum

Shaanxi Museum is free to visit with a ticket, the ticket starts at 8:30, one ticket per person with ID. The queue is very long and slow. Mainly a **** a window corresponds to the foreign tourists, but also have to do identity registration of each person, very bureaucratic.

There is a paid exhibition until September, 20 yuan per person.

Don't hesitate to shell out the money, you can save a lot of time.

To send a large bag, you can bring a camera but no flash, there is a loan explainer at the entrance a 20 yuan / 3 hours. Pay 100 yuan and ID card as collateral. It is recommended to borrow one, otherwise a lot of cultural relics can not see the road.

From the Shaanxi Museum out of a little time, if you suggest that friends who believe in Buddhism to go to the nearby Daxingshan Temple.

We ate a fasting noodle after inviting incense inside, and felt very good.
