When going to Xi'an for the first time, most people will check in the attractions listed in Internet celebrities. Xi'an is a city with a long history and profound cultural heritage, which is very suitable for traveling in the past. Here are some tips and suggestions for traveling to Xi’an.
The Tang Dynasty Never Sleeps
Stepping experience:
I visited the Tang Dynasty Evernight City during the day and saw nothing.
I queued for two hours to get in, and had less than a minute of intimate contact with the roly-poly lady;
I didn’t check the performance schedule carefully before, so I missed many wonderful street performances.
Follow the following steps to avoid pitfalls:
Schedule your time and go after dinner in the evening so that you can not only watch the show but also eat.
If you want to see Ms. Tumbler up close, you have to line up around 5 p.m.
If you want to know the performance schedule, you can check the performance information on the "Datang Everlasting City Official Service Account".

Shaanxi History Museum
I have walked through the pitfalls of these seven must-visit attractions in Xi'an for you.
Stampede experience:
You can’t get in without making a reservation.
I made an appointment, but I didn’t arrive at the appointed time. As a result, I had to make another appointment to get in.
It costs 30 yuan to buy a ticket to enter the treasure house. If you don’t buy it, you won’t be able to see the treasure of the museum.
I didn’t want to spend money to hire a guide. I just walked around and didn’t understand anything.
You cannot get free tickets if you go without an ID card.
The following steps should be followed to avoid pitfalls:
Plan the time well. You can make reservations for tickets at the ticketing system of the Shaanxi History Museum ten days in advance, at 18:00, 19:00, and Tickets will be released automatically in batches at 20:00, 21:00 and 22:00, with only 1680 tickets released in each time period. Be sure to set your alarm clock to grab tickets;
There are 6 time slots for entering the museum every day. Remember to redeem your ticket during the reserved time slot.
You can buy tickets on-site to enter the museum, which costs 30 yuan, but there are really treasures to see inside;
Docents can be found on-site or online. However, you have to queue up at the number-taking machine on the east side of the hall. The queuing time is about half an hour.
To pick up tickets, you need an ID card and a green code, and then pass the security check to enter the museum.

Terracotta Warriors and Horses in the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor
I have walked through these seven must-visit attractions in Xi'an for you.
Treading experience:
I didn’t find a guide. I just walked around and saw a bunch of clay figures and pits. I didn’t know anything about history.
I was afraid that I would get into trouble if I didn’t take the subway or bus, and would be pulled into a pit by an illegal car driver;
At 9 a.m., the Terracotta Warriors and Horses from Xi’an passed through. As a result, I was stuck halfway and doubted my life.
Finally, I found out that I couldn’t get in without my ID card.
You should follow the following steps to avoid pits:
It is recommended not to take photos with the figurines in the burial pits, and it is best not to take photos of other people;
Be sure to find a guide member. You can share one with others on the spot, or you can make an appointment online in advance. If there is an explanation, you will learn a lot of historical knowledge points. He will tell you where to look. On-site explanation is 90 for less than 5 people, 8 per person/time;
You can take the subway to the bus from Xi'an. If you are really worried about trouble, you can consider gathering 10 groups online in advance. There will be a car to pick them up from hotels within the Third Ring Road, and a tour guide will follow you.
Xi'an was also caught in a traffic jam. On festivals like May Day and National Day, you basically need to queue up in front of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses. It is recommended that you leave there at 8 am.
To visit the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, you need to swipe your ID card and go through the security check. There are discounts for bringing your student ID.

Xi'an City Wall
I have walked through the pitfalls of these seven must-visit attractions in Xi'an for you.
Stepping experience:
When I arrived at the east gate (north side), I found that I could only enter from the east gate (south side);
When I arrived at the east gate (south side) Side), and found that I couldn’t get in without my ID card;
I didn’t know calligraphy at all, and I didn’t even look for a guide, so I went in with a lonely look on my face.
The following steps should be followed to avoid pits:
Although it is not as popular as the Shaanxi History Museum, you still need an ID card to enter from the east gate (south side);
If you don’t like calligraphy very much, you may come here to watch the fun; but if you are a calligraphy lover, there are inscriptions by famous calligraphers such as Yan Zhenqing, Liu Gongquan, and Huai Su. Will keep your eyes open.
The calligraphy is still very profound. You can learn a lot by letting the docent make the trip in vain.

Xi'an Forest of Steles Museum
I have walked through the pitfalls of these seven must-visit attractions in Xi'an for you.
Stamping experience:
It was the first time I went and I didn’t make a reservation in advance, so I didn’t treat it as a performance.
Later, I forgot to bring my ID card when I made the reservation, so I went directly and almost fainted from crying;
In order to watch all the performances, I bought tickets for Huaqing Pool. Found it was not necessary at all.
After watching all the performances, there was no public transportation back, so I had no choice but to take a black car back;
The following steps should be followed to avoid pitfalls:
3 times a year There is one performance from October 20th to October 31st, one performance every night from Sunday to Thursday in the off-season, two performances every night on Friday and Saturday, statutory holidays and peak seasons, but no other times. It is recommended to choose the first show in April and October, and the second show in summer, the night view is deeper and the scene is more beautiful;

Tickets for the Changge Show are real-name, one-vote-one-certificate. You need to bring your ID card to enter the park;
Huaqing Pool, I personally don’t think there is much to see. Even if you don't buy a ticket for it, you can watch it 20 minutes in advance.

Treading experience:
On the first day of travel, my leg was broken and I couldn’t play anything later;
I arranged a day’s bus ride to Huashan, and it was late to go down the mountain Didn't catch the last train.
There was no food, and I was tired and hungry halfway through the climb, feeling hollowed out;
I am afraid of heights. When we reached the plank road in the sky, we almost had a heart attack.
The following steps should be followed to avoid pits:
Huashan Mountain must be placed on the second to last day or the last day, so as not to affect the physical strength of the subsequent trip;
Tourist line No. 1 departs from Xi'an at 7:00 every day, and the latest one returns from Huashan at 19:00. If you really don’t do it
There is a section of Huashan that needs to be chained. It's really steep and scary, and not friendly to people who are afraid of heights. One more thing, wear non-slip gloves, your hands will not hurt and you will feel safer.
