stay
The choice of accommodation is very important for travel and will directly affect your rest and physical strength. For me, the location and transportation of the hotel are the first, and as a tourist, it is impossible to step on the spot in advance, so it is easy to be misled by online information. Regarding the choice of hotel, the reliable answer is as follows:
1. How to select a constituency?
Scheme 1: Qujiang/Big Wild Goose Pagoda, high-tech zone, within the ancient city wall. I don't recommend other areas, such as the North Railway Station outside the ancient city wall. Going to the scenic spot is so frustrating. Unless the hotel you really want to stay in is there, it is not recommended.
The location is as follows:
How to choose specifically?
Inside the ancient city wall: There are many budget hotels. The closer to the bell tower and drum tower, the more convenient it is, but it is noisy at night.
Nearby attractions: Huimin Street, Bell Tower, Drum Tower, Ancient City Wall, Beilin Museum.

It is very convenient for the party to choose the scenic spots within the ancient city wall. Bell and Drum Tower, Huimin Street are all here, and there are subway stations to go. There are many economical chain hotels in this area, and the prices are also cheap, such as home inns, oranges, all seasons and so on. There is one within a few steps, clean and comfortable. I prefer to live here.
Of course, there are luxury hotels like Sofitel Legend, but not many, if you have enough budget.
Today, I mainly talk about budget hotels. There are two pits here:
1: Generally speaking, it is convenient to choose hotels near the Bell and Drum Tower (it is best to walk), but not all hotels named after the Bell and Drum Tower are near the Bell and Drum Tower. Because the scope of the ancient city wall is very large, it is necessary to search the specific location and distance of the hotel with a map.
For example, the following one takes 20-30 minutes to walk to the Bell and Drum Tower. It doesn't look far, but it will still be a little inconvenient.
For example, if you search for "all seasons", you can see there are Drum Tower Store and Bell Tower Store. After actual comparison, it is found that the location of Rome City Store is more suitable.
2. Pit: Although it is more convenient to be near the Bell and Drum Tower, there is a bug. It will be a little noisy if it is too close to the bell and drum tower. For example, there is a KTV all year round above the Bell and Drum Tower Store. The night market under my shop in Rome is open until 0 pm all the year round.
The solution is to read more reviews when booking a hotel. In addition, when you check in, you can ask the front desk for a room without windows, facing inward, so there is no sound. The disadvantage is that the room will be a little stuffy.
Personal suggestion (for individuals only): You can consider the orange crystal at the entrance of the South City Wall, which is secluded, but close to the Drum Tower!
Qujiang/Big Wild Goose Pagoda: It is recommended to stay near big-name hotels (Xi 'an Westin, Xi 'an W): Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Qujiang, Datang Furong Garden and Datang City that Never Sleeps.
If there are Datang City that Never Sleeps and Furong Garden in your itinerary, you can arrange to stay here for one night at night.
My suggestion is: if you choose an economy hotel, stay in the Bell Tower/Gulou District, and don't toss about. Hotels in this area are still far from the subway, which is not so convenient. However, if you want to punch in at the Westin Xi, you can arrange it in this area. No problem.
As for Westin, I also stayed 1 night this time, and there is a pit to remind everyone. Open the Ctrip search hotel reservation interface, and you will find that the first room type says "apartment".
Actually, the apartment is not Westin Garden, but the second-class luxury room is. In a separate building next to the apartment, you need to go out through the small door on the right side of the lobby, and then find a small door to enter. It is hard to find.
Room: The area is not bad, but the facilities are first-class.
If you want to live, you can choose high-tech zone. There are many luxury hotels in this area, such as Ritz-Carlton, Grand Hyatt and Shangri-La. But you need to drive or take a taxi to the scenic spot. Again, let's look at the budget decision ~
Attraction Pit and Value
There are many slots about scenic spots. I summed up the pits and values of the must-see attractions. Everyone can weigh whether to waste that ticket.
1. Is the Bell and Drum Tower worth going?
You need to add a ticket to 50 yuan to go to the Bell Tower and Drum Tower. Personally, I don't think it is necessary to go up, especially the bell tower, which is the most inconspicuous attraction I have ever seen. No. I don't even bother to arrange an exhibition. There are some exhibitions in the Drum Tower, such as the closed door below. The advertisement also said that there was a chime performance. It's only been five minutes. Not worth seeing.
2. What is the correct posture for boxing on the wall of Xi 'an Angu?
Personally, I have a good impression on the ancient city wall. I recommend it. Around the city wall, you can get a macroscopic understanding of the layout structure of ancient Chang 'an City, and there will be various gates on the road, which is quite knowledgeable.
You'll never know until you walk around. There is a Tibetan temple in this city.
There are three ways to bypass the city wall: walking, cycling and battery car. Battery cars are not recommended. At first glance, it will be finished in 20 minutes. It's a long way and requires physical strength.
I recommend riding a bike. It takes about three hours to walk around. You can stop and go, and you can return the car at every city gate. If you can't ride a bike, you don't have to ride it. The expenses are extra, single person 45 yuan, double car 90 yuan, deposit 200 yuan (cash).
Suggested broadcast time: morning or afternoon when the sun goes down. Remember to walk counterclockwise, or you will be blinded by the sun. It is not recommended that the city wall be dark at night.
3. Is Beilin Museum worth visiting?
This scenic spot is relatively small and recommended to valuable friends who especially like calligraphy. Please explain it to us. Close to the ancient city wall, it can be arranged on the same day. There are inscriptions by calligraphers such as Yan Zhenqing and Liu Gongquan, as well as two Tang tablets, Shitai Xiaojing and Kaicheng Shijing. Pay attention to the early closing time and need to be arranged in advance.
4. Is the "rotten" Wild Goose Pagoda really not fun?
The Wild Goose Pagoda has always been criticized by local people. Indeed, the tourists inside are all elderly people. However, I like this scenic spot. As a tourist, I think punching in is not bad! Small park, you can stroll slowly. However, it should be noted that there is an extra charge for going to the tower, and you don't have to go! There is nothing on it, and the scenery is average.
5. Are Datang City that Never Sleeps and Datang Furong Garden worth visiting?
Not far from the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, it can be arranged in one day. Both scenic spots are imitation buildings of the Tang Dynasty. Please note that they are imitations. People who don't like them should not go there.
Last year, Furong Garden didn't need tickets. It's worth it Now there is a Spring Festival party, tickets for 78 yuan. Let's test it for ourselves. In contrast, I recommend the city that never sleeps. The lights at night are beautiful, and it feels like watching the Lantern Festival in ancient Chang 'an. There are many people ~
6. Is it necessary to register for the Terracotta Warriors? Three reliable methods
Many friends who come here for the first time are easily fooled by the roadside "scenic through train" and the leaflets of Terracotta Warriors 1 one-day tour. Don't! Don't pat your head on the roadside looking for a car. Don't ask me how I know.
There are several pits here:
It is said to be a scenic through train, but it is actually a multi-person tour group. It's noon in Terracotta Warriors and Horses Scenic Area 12, wasting time.
It costs a lot. Although the explanation of Terracotta Warriors is given, there is an extra charge for renting headphones. Before entering the scenic spot, I tricked you into watching unimportant movies.
It is said that there is a car at any time on the return trip, but it doesn't leave until after 3: 05.
So! When you spend any money, you should find out what service you are spending. What other charges are there? All these should be made clear so as not to be cheated.
Here are three reliable ways to get to the Terracotta Warriors:
(1) public transportation
You can take bus or subway line 9, 602 Lintong Road. As for where to take the bus? Open the mobile phone map search. This route is reliable, but it needs to change trains many times, which is more troublesome.
Open the flying pig and search for "Terracotta Warriors". Open the-ticket column and put it down. Choose "through train for scenic spots with big tickets" at the price of 120 yuan. Buying a one-way ticket is also 120 yuan, so the through train is probably equal to no money (the last check was 10 yuan, which is also worth it).
The advantage of booking with OTA is that all the information will be told to you in advance, including what fees and what fees are not included, which largely eliminates the phenomenon of arbitrary charges. To say the least, even if there is a charge, it is very convenient to complain. According to the regulations, it should be 1 and 1.
For example, here, click "Booking Instructions". When to go, when to return, how many trains a day, clearly.
There is a "supplementary note" below, which says "free wireless headset".
(3) Taxi, one way 120 yuan or so, with enough budget.
7. Is Huaqing Pool worth going to?
Huachi is the place where the imperial concubine used to soak in hot springs. As a place with historical stories, I personally think we can go and have a look. Remember to find a guide.
The best order to visit is Huaqing Pool-Terracotta Warriors, or you can take bus No.5 to get there. On the other hand, the Terracotta Warriors-Huaqing Pool, the five patrols may all be people, which is very embarrassing.
8. How many days in advance does Shaanxi Museum make an appointment?
Shaanxi Expo is especially worth visiting. There are many treasures, but half a day is not enough. You must arrange a day! You need to make an appointment with the official WeChat account in advance and pay attention at least 3 days in advance. Otherwise, when the free tickets are sold out, you can only buy paid tickets. If there is no toll ticket, we'll have to take a rain check. Every day has a time limit.
Be sure to enter the park within the scheduled time, otherwise the tickets on the machine will not go out and the gods will not be saved. Therefore, it is recommended to enter the venue 5 minutes in advance, and don't block it. You need to check the health code first, and then pick up the ticket from the machine before you can enter. If necessary, please call the commentator! Don't rent an interpreter, it sounds too tired.
9. How to play Huashan?
North and South: Suitable for people with good physical strength or simply punching in for photos.
Beixi: Suitable for people with good physical strength.
Up to the North, Down to the West: Classic Plays, Straight to the most beautiful Xifeng.
Up and down: the most labor-saving way to play.
10. Attractions are not recommended?
Site of Ganling and Daming Palace. It's really a site. It doesn't mean much.
About eating
Eating in Xi 'an is also an important part. Let's put some tips below and pay attention to avoiding pits. However, everyone has different tastes, so don't be rude.
1. Is Huimin Street worth going?
Yes, but not all streets are worth it. In our impression, Huimin Street refers to "Beiyuanmen Street". There are many tourists and guests in this street, and there is really no delicious shop at the end of the street except Jia San steamed stuffed bun. I queued up at my grandson's house to buy a Chinese hamburger, which was terrible. So, when you see a long list of shops, remember to avoid them.
Huimin Street has a large population in the local area, covering a wide range, including Beiguangji Street, Xiyangcheng, Dapiyuan, Xiaopiyuan, Miaohou Street, Sajinqiao Street and Maixian Street. Personally, I strongly recommend eating Beiguangji Street, West City, Dapi Garden and Sajinqiao.
