Day 7: Arrive in Beijing and end the happy journey!
The May Day holiday is coming soon, and everyone wants to take advantage of this rare holiday to let themselves go. Below is a seven-day tour of Xi'an designed by me on your behalf. I hope it will be helpful to you.
May 1st
It is recommended to take the T52 express train from Shanghai to Urumqi at 18:20 on the evening of April 30. It will arrive in Xi'an at 10:52 am the next day. So you have to go straight to the train station as soon as you get off work. This saves time and saves you a night's hotel fee.
After arriving in Xi'an and settling accommodation and other issues, you can start sightseeing in the afternoon.
In the afternoon, you can visit several scenic spots in Xi'an: the main ones are:
(1) Ci'en Temple, which is the location of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. Built in the Tang Dynasty, it was the place where Master Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty translated Buddhist scriptures after he returned from his trip to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. As the landmark building of Xi'an, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is more than 60 meters high and is a square cone-shaped tower. This kind of pagoda is different from other pagodas in its square shape and is rare in China. It is divided into seven floors and you can climb the tower. According to the principles of mechanics, the stress distribution of a square building is not as uniform as that of a round building. However, it can withstand thousands of years of wind, frost, rain, dew, and earthquakes, and it is still standing intact. This cannot but be said to be a miracle, although It has tilted.
(2) The ancient city of Xi'an has now been built around the city. The ancient city wall of Xi'an is one of the only well-preserved ancient cities in China. Together with the moat, suspension bridge, gate tower, archery tower, main tower, turret, parapet, crenels, and city gates, it forms a city defense system in the cold weapon era. After climbing the city, you can circle around Xi'an City. There are tour buses on it, which are charged in sections. If you like antiques or gadgets, you can ask others. I remember that I came down from a certain entrance, which happened to be Shuyuanmen Ancient Culture Street. The cultural atmosphere there is very strong, and it is a place where literati who like chess, calligraphy, painting, and the Four Treasures of the Study linger.
(3) In addition, you can visit the Xi'an History Museum, Bell Tower and Drum Tower. It is worth mentioning that the Forest of Steles in Xi'an has collected the ink of many great calligraphers, literati and poets. Friends who are interested in Chinese culture can have an eye-opening experience.
May 2nd
On this day you can visit the scenic spots on the east line of Xi'an. It is generally not advisable to go with a tour bus when visiting the scenic spots on the east line of Xi'an. On the one hand, the tour bus will kill people, and on the other hand, you will lose the freedom of movement. Picking up a small flag is like chasing a group of ducks, stopping as soon as you want, and leaving as soon as you want. How can such a herding-style tourism be said to be fun? It is recommended to go to the train station and take bus No. 307 directly. Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang. (Keep your eyes open: there are also fake ones on Route 307.) The main attractions are:
(1) Terracotta Warriors and Horses. This is the so-called seventh wonder of the world and the pride of the Chinese nation. More than 20 years ago, when the Terracotta Warriors and Horses were first put on display, visitors were allowed to walk in front of them and have close contact with them. I once went down to the array of these terracotta warriors and horses. These terracotta warriors and horses are taller than me, and each of them is lifelike, with cold eyebrows, as if they are staring at you with big eyes. I couldn't help but feel a chill rising from my back, which was chilling. I couldn't help but run away quickly. I couldn't help but be impressed by such a majestic scene, and I couldn't help but feel the powerful shock to my soul. It is unbelievable how much hardship and labor it took to complete such a majestic project thousands of years ago. It can be imagined how domineering and cruel Qin Shihuang was when he devoted all his national power to create such a huge mausoleum for his death. No wonder Qin Shihuang is said to be a tyrant in history. Nowadays, tourists are no longer allowed to get close to the Terracotta Warriors and Horses. They are only allowed to stand on the high platform around the Terracotta Warriors and Horses and look down. They may not feel such a strong feeling. One is that the distance is far, and the other is that I am standing on a high place, and I feel like I am above the Terracotta Warriors and Horses. However, one can still appreciate the sheer scale of the Terracotta Warriors. When visiting the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, pay special attention to the bronze carriage. Its exquisite manufacturing, complex craftsmanship, and lifelike shape are all breathtaking. It is enough to make modern people who have mastered the precision casting process feel ashamed. In addition, there is an exhibition hall dedicated to displaying the scenes when the terracotta warriors and horses were first excavated. Looking at those staggering scenes with broken arms and legs, it is like a messy scene after a great war, which is thrilling. Thinking.
(2) Huaqing Pool is the royal garden where Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty and Concubine Yang once lived. In particular, the line in "Song of Everlasting Sorrow", "I wish to be a winged bird in heaven, and a twig on earth" has been praised by people for a long time. It is said that the lotus pond where Concubine Yang took a bath still exists today. But as far as I can see, it's just a not-so-excellent park. To put it more harshly, it is a large group of people wandering around other people's bathtubs, which makes people feel weird and silly.
However, being able to take a hot spring bath here is also a kind of enjoyment. It is a real hot spring. After washing, your skin is smooth, as if it has been coated with a layer of gel. It is said that it can also be used for beauty. In addition, Wujiantou is more distinctive. It was the place where Chiang Kai-shek lived during the Xi'an Incident. Behind Huaqing Pool is Lishan Mountain, which is a branch of the Qinling Mountains. When I climbed to the beacon tower on this mountain, I also felt it was very difficult. Speaking of the beacon tower here, it is the place where King Zhou You "played with the princes with beacon fire". Now, a cable car has been built. To be fair, there are few places with beautiful scenery in Lishan. There is a crack in the rock on the mountain, which is said to be the place where Chiang Kai-shek was captured. There is a "Chiang Catch Pavilion" built next to it for people to pay their respects.
(3) The Banpo site in Xi'an is the site of a primitive matriarchal commune village. On display are cooking utensils and caves used by ancestors. It's a museum.
(4) In addition, there is the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, which has not been excavated and looks like a small hill. The slopes are covered with persimmon trees. In autumn, the persimmon trees all over the mountains and plains are full of fruits, which is really beautiful. At the entrance to Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum and the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, there are long lines of local mountain people, speaking several foreign languages, selling various tourist souvenirs to tourists. It is also a rare folk custom painting that leaves a lasting impression on people. Deeply impressed.
May 3
On this day, you can arrange to visit the scenic spots in the west of Xi'an. The scenic spots on the west line of Xi'an are relatively far from Xi'an, so you can only go there with a tourist bus. For example, the famous Famen Temple is located in Baoji, 120 kilometers away from Xi'an. The main attractions are:
(1) Famen Temple. Built in the Tang Dynasty. A few years ago, when cleaning the base of the pagoda, it was discovered that the underground palace of the Tang Dynasty contained a large number of precious cultural relics and became famous for a while. In particular, a piece of finger bone relic of Buddha Sakyamuni was discovered. It is said that after the Buddha's nirvana, the relics obtained after the cremation were taken to various places by eminent monks to build temples and be properly preserved as rare treasures. The so-called relics refer to a kind of glass-like crystal in the ashes of those eminent monks who have practiced for a long time and received the true transmission: it is regarded as a treasure by the Buddhist community. The eminent monk with the relic was considered to have attained enlightenment and headed west. This is a strange thing that cannot be explained by science at present. Because modern eminent monks did discover relics after they passed away. I personally think that this may be related to people's eating habits, such as being vegetarian for a long time. What’s even more strange is that the elders there told me that at a ceremony for the installation of Buddha’s finger bones and relics at Famen Temple, there were thousands of monks and devotees kneeling and chanting sutras. At midnight, the relic would emit a strange light and float several inches above the table. At that time, everyone thought it was the Buddha appearing in spirit and shouting the name of the Buddha everywhere, which was like the sound of the waves. This scene was not only verified by thousands of people present, but was also filmed by CCTV, and it was immediately rumored to be a grand event. Later, I saw an article explaining that it was caused by the biological field of thousands of people at that time. I think it seems a little forced, too far-fetched. What is a biofield? Have you ever seen it? So I think that, as a religion, since it can be spread for a long time, it must have its inevitability and its certain truth
. Otherwise, it would not be weird to be defeated despite repeated disasters. The attitude toward religion can only be the same as the attitude toward all doctrines. You cannot disbelieve in it, you cannot fully believe in it, and you cannot be superstitious. I would also like to point out that the museum at Famen Temple is a great museum. There are many national treasure-level cultural relics on display inside. You will definitely be fascinated by the splendid culture and exquisite craftsmanship of the Tang Dynasty. Don’t miss it.
(2) Qianling Mausoleum is the tomb of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi and Wu Zetian. There are four scenic spots on this line, including the mausoleum of Princess Yongtai. The underground tomb passage of Princess Yongtai's mausoleum has also been opened. It is particularly important to point out that there is a wordless monument of Wu Zetian's tree. She means eternal achievements and has its own history to comment, without the need for other people's east, west, northwest. Although history has very different evaluations of Wu Zetian, from this point alone, one cannot help but look at the only female emperor in Chinese history with admiration. We cannot but express our sincere admiration for her open-mindedness and profound insight into history.
May 4th
You can arrange to visit Huashan today. Huashan Mountain is one of the Five Mountains. I personally think Huashan Mountain has the most beautiful scenery among the Five Mountains. Its handsomeness, uprightness, thrills and ruggedness are indeed higher than those of Huangshan Mountain. The only thing inferior to Huangshan Mountain is the lack of water. Without water, the mountain loses its aura. Huashan Mountain consists of five peaks: East (Chaoyang), South (Luoyan), West (Lotus), North (Yuntai), and Middle (Jade Girl). Five peaks stand tall, with clouds rising high into the sky.
As described in Du Fu's "Poetry on Looking at the Mountains": "Western Mountains are distinguished by Qixi and Chang, and the peaks are listed like children and grandchildren." If you reach the top, you will have the feeling that "there is only the sky above, not to mention the mountains and mountains". Looking around, there are endless mountains and mountains as far as the eye can see. Since ancient times, there has been only one Huashan Road, but recently a new cable car has been built to go up the mountain (but I thought that traveling in the mountains is about walking on two legs, so taking the cable car when climbing a mountain would ruin the scenery).
It is easy to get to Huashan from Xi'an. There is a direct bus to Huashan next to the train station. You can get to the foot of Huashan for only ten yuan. In fact, if you have enough energy, you can rush to the foot of Huashan Mountain on the evening of May 3 and climb up the mountain overnight. This is exciting, saves time, and saves hotel fees. We climbed to the East Peak in the early morning of the 5th, just in time to watch the sunrise from the East Peak. There is less rain in Huashan, so the chance of seeing the sunrise is relatively high. There are many people, especially young people, who go up the mountain overnight. At night, the winding mountain road is lit up with flashlights, like strings of fireflies floating up and down. It is also a strange scenery. Of course, if you are not physically strong enough, there is no need to force it. The temperature on the top of Huashan Mountain is low and the wind is extremely strong, so you must bring some clothes in case of unexpected events. In addition, there is little water on the mountain and meals are expensive, so you can bring some mineral water and food with you.
The "Yuquanyuan" at the foot of the mountain is the only place to pass when entering the mountain. It is a small park with really no scenery to see. It is often used by tourists entering the mountain to rest. There is a toll of 10 yuan. You can first look to see if there is a path that can go around it. Go around as much as possible, there is no need to waste time here.
After passing "Yuquanyuan", you have entered the mountain. From here to Qingkeping, you basically walk along a creek. Relatively flat, very ordinary road, very ordinary mountains, no very special scenery. After passing Qingkeping, we said goodbye to the creek, and there was no water anymore. The mountain road gradually became steeper, and the scenery gradually became more beautiful. Soon, you can see a huge stone called "Huixin Stone", which means to persuade the weak to turn back. After passing this stone, ahead is the dangerous Thousand-foot Building at the head of Huashan Road. The stone staircase is seen hovering on the cliff. Visitors need to hold the iron rope in their hands and use their hands and feet to climb along the steep mountain road. When they look up, they can only see a ray of sky. It is thrilling and daunting. The name of the exit is "Tianjing", which means "Taihua Throat. If it is covered with an iron plate, there will be no way up or down.
After passing Qianchi Building, you will reach the second natural danger of mountaineering, Baichi Gorge. There is a huge stone falling from the sky between the two towering walls, which is really thrilling for tourists to pass through the path under the stone. . This is a ditch-shaped path sandwiched between steep stone walls. At the end of the ditch is the steep wall called "Heng Xiu".
p>
Beifeng, also known as Yuntai Peak, is the key point to climb the other four peaks. The mountain is very steep, with cliffs on three sides. There is only one mountain ridge leading to the south. The situation is very dangerous and it was an easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack place. The story of "Outsmarting Mount Huashan" happened here. The Taoist temple Zhenwu Palace on the top of the mountain is built against the mountain, with a unique shape and pleasant scenery.
After taking a short rest at the north peak, you can continue to the south. After passing the Stairway to Heaven and the Royal Road, you will reach a ridge with a length of several dozen feet and a width of just over two feet, which is the Canglong Ridge. There are thousands of feet of cliffs on both sides, and this is the only stone ridge that leads to the other side. In the meantime, I was terrified.
There are two ways to go after the Wushang Cave. It is recommended to take the trail on the right first. Xifeng is the most beautiful and steep peak in Huashan. There is one in front of the Cuiyun Palace. The boulder is shaped like a lotus, so it is also called Lotus Peak. This is the place where Agarwood split the mountain to rescue the Three Holy Mothers in "Lotus Lantern". Now there is a boulder next to Cuiyun Palace that cracks in the middle, as if it was struck by an ax, and is called "Axe Split Stone". There is also a long ax standing next to it. On the northwest side of the peak, it is as straight as a knife, and it is called Sheshen Cliff.
After traveling to the west peak, you can pass by the Giant Spirit's Foot and the Alchemy Furnace. , Xiaozi Peak, Yang Gongting to Nanfeng.
Nanfeng is the highest peak of Huashan. There is a stone tablet on the top that reads: "The top of Huashan is 2160 meters." There is Laojun Cave on the top. It is said that Laozi, the founder of Taoism, lived in seclusion here. There are two characters "Zhenyuan" on the top of the South Peak. In addition, there are Laozi Peak and Bagua Pond on the South Peak. These attractions are related to Laozi. Legend has it that there is Taishang Spring in the north of Laojun Cave, under the east stream, which is now called "Yangtian Pool". The spring water is green all year round and there is the "Nantian Gate" stone square under the east cliff.
There is also the Jintian Palace built in the Ming Dynasty on the south peak, also known as the Baidi Temple, which is dedicated to the Huashan God Shaohao. There are two scenic spots on the mountain road from the south peak to the east peak: one is the "Avoidance of Zhao Cliff", where the famous Taoist priest Chen Tuan once took refuge in a cave here to avoid the emperor's conscription; the other is the Changkong Plank Road, which passes by The plank road really requires some courage. The plank road is dug along the cliff, and there is an abyss below. The wind blows straight up from the bottom of the valley, and clouds float around. Visitors need to hold on to the iron ropes and wooden railings, like a toad, close to the body. On the cliff, passing slowly, it is another dangerous place on Huashan Mountain.
Going further, you will reach the East Peak. Today you can live in the Taoist temple on Dongfeng. The view is quiet and refreshing, and you can guarantee that you will not miss watching the sunrise the next morning, so it is an ideal place to stay. It’s just that the prices of hotels on the mountain are on the higher side.
May 5th
I got up early in the morning to watch the sunrise. The balcony on the top of the East Peak is the best place to watch the sunrise. At this time, the surroundings were still dark, with only the morning star blinking in the sky. After a while, the clouds in the sky began to shine and constantly changed color, from green to pink. This trace of pink rapidly expands and deepens in color, changing from pink to crimson, and from crimson to golden. Soon, a red sun burst out from the gap between the golden clouds. It was so red, so soft, and not dazzling at all. Watching the red sun rise is such a great feeling. When the first sunshine shines on us and the surrounding mountains, so that everything around is covered with a layer of golden light, nature is like a mother who has just given birth to a baby, so quiet and gentle. At this time, you will have a sacred feeling, a feeling of spiritual purification, and a kind of pride of being integrated into nature. This feeling can only be experienced by those who have been there.
After watching the sunrise, you can continue to visit the scenic spots around Dongfeng. There are three thatched caves on the peak. There is a statue of Chen Tuan inside the cave and a nectar pool outside the cave. There is a solitary peak in front of the nearby Qingxu Cave. On the top of the peak, there is an iron tile pavilion and an iron chessboard. It is said that Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin once played chess with Chen Tuan here. He lost the game and lost Huashan to Chen Tuan, so the pavilion was named "Gambling Pavilion". It is particularly important to mention that here is the second most dangerous spot in Huashan: the kite turning over. This is a protruding cliff with bottomless depths and floating clouds floating below. You have to climb down from the top of the cliff. Because it is protruding, the next step you take is invisible. You have to hang on the cliff and use your feet to find the next step. You can imagine how thrilling it is. Therefore, you must have courage to cross this dangerous place. Most people are discouraged and don't dare to try it easily. (It’s not the only way to go) But it’s really exciting. I think the infinite scenery of Huashan Mountain is all contained in the word "strange and dangerous". Strange dangers often complement beauty. "Strange" stimulates curiosity; "risk" inspires competitiveness and shows one's strength and courage; "beauty" washes away all the trivial matters in the heart and achieves the state of forgetting both things and myself. I think this is why people love Huashan.
After visiting the East Peak, you can descend via the Middle Peak. Zhongfeng is also called Jade Girl Peak. Jade Girl Peak is shaped like a bird's head, with the top rising and the bottom shrinking. There is a huge stone beam on the top of the peak, shaped like a turtle. There is a Jade Girl Temple built on the back of the turtle. In front of the temple, there are stone mortars and five shampoo basins. Behind the temple, there are scenic spots such as the flute tasting platform and the Feng Yin Pavilion. There is a single pine tree on the cliff of Zhongfeng Mountain, with no roots. The pine branches are waving in the air, and the trunk has no scales and is shiny. It is called the Tree of Sacrifice. Go down the mountain and seize the time to return to Xi'an along the original route.
After returning to Xi'an, if you have time, you can take the 2132/2129 train from Xi'an to Yantai to Luoyang. The bus departs from Xi'an at 12:19 and arrives at Luoyang at 18:50. It is cheaper at 29 yuan/person. If you don't have enough time, you have to take the K770/K767 train from Xi'an to Wuchang at 14:15 in the afternoon to go to Luoyang. The time to arrive in Luoyang is 20:15. This time the bus is more expensive, costing 56 yuan/person. Overnight in Luoyang.
May 6
Start your trip to Luoyang today. Luoyang, named because it is located on the Yangtze River of Luoshui River, is one of the main birthplaces of Chinese civilization. Since King Zhou Yu moved his capital to Luoyi in 770 BC, 13 dynasties have established their capital here successively for more than 1,500 years. The long history has left Luoyang with dazzling cultural heritage. The most famous tourist attraction in Luoyang is the Longmen Grottoes. Longmen Grottoes, Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang and Yungang Grottoes in Datong are known as the three major grottoes in China. The Longmen Grottoes were mainly excavated during the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Wu Zetian period of the Tang Dynasty. Among them, the largest and most famous one is the Fengtian Temple Grottoes, which were carved in the Song Dynasty.
The Buddha statues inside are graceful and elegant in shape, with expressive faces, and the clothes they wear have clear lines and distinct pleats. The reliefs in the cave are exquisite and gorgeous, and the flying apsaras and musicians are in various poses and lifelike. In particular, the relief sculpture "The Picture of Emperors and Empresses Paying Respect to Buddha" is the most famous. The representative caves of Longmen Grottoes include Guyang Cave, Binyang Cave, Lotus Cave, Yaofang Cave, Kansu Cave, Ten Thousand Buddhas Cave, Qianxi Cave, Dawanwu Buddha Cave, etc. Visiting these grottoes requires profound artistic accomplishment in order to appreciate their elegance. For laymen like us, it’s really hard to figure out what’s going on. But you can't help but be impressed by the huge scale of the grotto. I often think that Buddhism, as a religion, can conquer the hearts of so many people. In order to show their devotion to the Buddha, they are willing to work for decades for a day and pay so much for it. This cannot help but make people feel Surprise.
Speaking of Longmen Grottoes, I can’t help but think of the argument I had with a classmate. My very good classmate is engaged in historical research, and he is the kind of bookworm who studies in an ivory tower. At that time, he was engaged in special research on the evolution of clothing through the ages. Speaking of the Longmen Grottoes, this man was very familiar with the treasures and quoted from classics, saying how high the artistic achievements of the statues in a certain cave were, how skillful the swordsmanship was, and how graceful the curves were. You see, the skirt is as elegant as silk. He also said that the face of the Buddha statue in the Maijishan Grottoes in Tianshui is relatively plump. According to Mr. Guo's research, which dynasty it is from, it is so popular. I responded: "I have been to the three major grottoes in China and the Maijishan Grottoes in Tianshui. If the flying apsaras in the murals of the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang and the graceful ladies playing the pipa can be abstracted into silk "Lu Huayu", then I can't connect the hard texture of the rock with the elegance of the silk.
As for the curve of the statue, there is no difference in my eyes. The edges and corners of the seal carvings may be vaguely identifiable as the strength or grace of the swordsmanship, but the same curves cannot be discerned in the statues. I have never seen a Buddha statue with sharp edges and corners connected at right angles." He was very confused, and then showed a look of disdain. I immediately read his subtext from his eyebrows: You are too ignorant and have no taste. Because we are familiar with each other, I told him straight away: "I am not your graduate student. Appreciation of natural scenery, including art, is a matter of benevolence and wisdom. There is no unified standard at all. Remember when we went to Lushan When we went on a tour, we were equally confused when we went to find the Quaternary glacial relics first discovered by Li Siguang. You must still remember the fable of the Emperor's New Clothes. You would not blame a deer for a horse because of what someone said. , we took a photo of the Immortal Cave taken by Jiang Qing and went to find the Immortal Cave. It was so stinky that we were very disappointed. When we came back, we cursed those mouthpieces of the "Gang of Four" who flattered them. Didn't they write a long story? How naive are you to praise the lighting in that photo so much that the scenery of Mount Lu is just the Immortal Cave? You and I are in different majors, and I have no intention of criticizing your academic thoughts. , because the depth and breadth of your expertise are far beyond my cognitive scope. I just want to explain my perspective on understanding nature, including art, which means using your own senses to experience, appreciate, and pursue your inner self. Not blindly obedient, not gullible. Do you think so?" The outcome of the debate is irrelevant, and the bookworm may not agree with my point of view. It’s important to reveal this: Travel is a very personal activity. It is not surprising that people will get completely different evaluations of the same scenic spot due to differences in cultural attainments, life experiences and entry points for viewing. Therefore, when traveling, you must be careful and integrate your soul into nature to obtain the greatest pleasure and purification. Facing such a vast and beautiful nature, you will feel that you are very small, and you will experience a state of forgetting honor and disgrace. However, there are still some people who are only limited to the stage of following what others say, or are still like Sun Wukong. Things to pay attention to when traveling to Xi'an: At most, you can pee in monkey urine and be satisfied with just visiting here, taking some photos as a souvenir, and that's it. , rarely pursue deeper pursuits, which cannot but be said to be a pity. To put it bluntly, this way of traveling can only provide you with more capital to show off in front of others in the future, but nothing else.
There are other attractions that can be visited in Luoyang. If you come out of the Longmen Grottoes and cross the Yishui Bridge, you will find the tomb of the famous poet Bai Yiju. Standing in front of Bai Yiju's tomb and looking across the river at Longmen Grottoes has a unique flavor.
Another famous scenic spot is the White Horse Temple, one of the earliest Buddhist temples in China. It occupies an important position in the history of Chinese Buddhism.
After visiting Luoyang, you can take the 1660 train bound for Shanghai starting from Luoyang at 20:32 and arriving at Shanghai Station at 14:08 pm on May 7.
Things to note when visiting Xi'an:
(1) The public security in Xi'an is somewhat chaotic. Especially thieves, there is a well-trained and combat-effective Thief Kingdom Police and National Guard. Especially some inconspicuous little children can magically turn your pocket into nothing. Therefore, in addition to the necessary expenses for the day, large amounts of money should be kept in a close pocket.
(2) All scenic spots in Xi'an require admission fees, and there is a trend of gradually increasing. A trip to Xi'an is expensive in terms of tickets alone.
Perhaps it’s because Xi’an’s cultural heritage is too deep, or maybe it’s because Xi’an lacks greenery. After traveling to Xi’an, I always feel a little depressed. I feel like it's missing some bright colors. Even after a few years, when the dusty memories are opened, the only thing left is the gray of the Loess Plateau and the yellow of the pile of old papers. Please visit Xi'an with a normal heart and don't have too high expectations for her, because this is the cradle of the Chinese nation after all!
