?For me, who has loved history since I was a child, Xi'an, with its flashes of swords and shadows and its vast history, has sown seeds in my heart early on. My desire for Xi'an is just like the desire and piety of my Muslim friends for the holy land of Mecca. How many times, in my dreams, has it slowly walked towards me, smiled at me, and called me over. However, due to academic, age and financial pressures, I have never been able to go to Xi'an in person and visit the holy land of my dreams. I have to say, this has always been my regret.
?In 2014, in that summer that was filled with madness and youth, I received my college acceptance letter. Later, I said goodbye to the university in my heart and entered this university that I had never thought I would come to. Like many people, my freshman year was confusing and at a loss for me, but it was something I will never forget...
In the summer of 2015, I took my With the money earned from work-study, red envelopes and scholarships in the second semester of my freshman year, ***3,000 yuan, I boarded the train with my high school and college friend, Lao Liu, and headed towards the holy land in my heart - Xi'an. Let's start. An 18-day trip to Xi'an...
In order to save money and see the scenery from south to north, Lao Liu and I decided to take the train from Guangzhou to Xi'an.
?At 11:30 noon, with a full suitcase and waving goodbye to our family who came to see us off at the train station, Lao Liu and I boarded the train to Xi'an.
After putting away our luggage, we started chatting with the passengers around us and soon became familiar with each other. When they learned that it was the first time for Lao Liu and I to travel to a distant place, they enthusiastically told us to pay attention to safety and take good care of our belongings. Sister Liu from the upper bunk even asked for my mobile phone number and said she was here. If you encounter any problems in Xi'an, just call her. The air conditioner in the car was turned on very low, and the environment was a bit cold, but my heart felt very warm.
?What I saw and heard on the train was all new to me, a southern kid. Loess, vast plains, plastic greenhouses... all make me extremely excited. The uncle across the street also enthusiastically acted as a tour guide, telling me which city I am in now? What species are these trees, what are those plants... The long train journey is very interesting because of the people around me and the scenery I see.
? Chatting with the passengers in the carriage, sharing snacks with the children, teasing them, and walking from one carriage to the next with Lao Liu... It turns out that trains are so interesting and fun~
?As one of the four ancient cities, Xi'an has rich historical tourism resources. Bell Tower and Drum Tower, Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses, Daming Palace Ci... each of them quietly tells the beauty and longevity of Xi'an.
?We live in Beiyuanmen, which is what everyone remembers as Muslim Street. The North Courtyard Gate is right behind the Drum Tower. When you look up, you can see the tall Drum Tower, which is very pleasant.
?The Bell Tower and the Drum Tower are very close to each other. They are both Ming Dynasty buildings. There will be bell and drum performances at certain times. At that time, the clock tower displayed a series of works commemorating the 70th anniversary of the victory of fascism, and the drum tower displayed various drums and Ming and Qing furniture. Standing upstairs and looking down at the ancient city, it feels like you have returned to the shadows of swords and swords thousands of years ago...
As an ancient city, Xi'an has its own city walls and moats. After thousands of years of baptism, the Xi'an City Wall is still standing. A person, carrying a bag, stepped onto the city wall early in the morning and felt the majesty of Xi'an...
For me, who loves calligraphy, the Forest of Steles is a place I have to go. Calligraphy, seal cutting, Chinese painting... all reveal the faint scholarly fragrance of the ancient city~
I originally wanted to go to Shaanxi Expo, but there were too many people. After thinking about it, I decided to go to the Banpo ruins in the suburbs. , to see the origin of our human beings, and to see the charm of primitive people.
Sure enough, it's worth a visit and unforgettable...
?Since contacting history, the first dynasty that I yearn for is the Tang Dynasty. With that kind of courage, that kind of influence, that kind of openness, it is said to be the center of the world. , well deserved. Out of my love for the Tang Dynasty, I came to the ruins of Daming Palace and felt the poetry and distance of the Tang Dynasty...
? I read Sima Xiangru's "Shanglin Fu" in junior high school, although I didn't quite understand it. , but Shanglinyuan has always been engraved in my heart. In the early morning, take your friends and set foot in the forest to appreciate the spirit of the Han Dynasty...
? This is a good place to escape the summer heat. There is an intoxicatingly beautiful museum here - the Qin Brick and Han Tile Museum. But because of its low reputation, there are few people around it.
?Xi'an, the capital of the Han and Tang Dynasties, is different from the Tang Dynasty. Most of the tombs of the Han Dynasty are near the urban area of ??Xi'an. I heard from the volunteers at the hotel that Han Yangling is an underground palace, which is very different from the above-ground palace. Out of curiosity, we came to Han Yangling...
? Just like you must visit the Great Wall when you go to Beijing, you must also visit the Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses when you come to Xi'an. The spirit and magnificence here can make every Chinese son and daughter extremely proud...
Because of my grandma, I am particularly interested in the love between Wang Baochuan and Xue Pinggui, so naturally I want to go to Hanyao. Look at their love~
