Legendary place, everyone should visit, DO NOT come in summer, too hot(but inside the mausoleum there are ACs)
The restrooms stink! Especially the one next to Pit 2!
For a tourist attraction like the Terracotta Warriors, a must-see for both domestic and international visitors to Xi'an, such poor restroom management is utterly disgraceful and disgraceful!
I've already visited the Terracotta Warriors three times, and while I don't expect to return, I sincerely hope the management will prioritize restroom maintenance. This is my only request!

Actually, there are many entrances to the city wall; just find the nearest one and you can get on. By bicycle, you need to go some distance away from Yongning Gate. The scenery inside and outside the wall is so-so. Since you're already here, you definitely have to climb the city wall.
Highly recommend this place, not expensive at all, moreover u can ride a bike thete, the scenery is perfect.

Mount Hua is known for its precipitousness and beautiful scenery. On a sunny day, the feeling of riding the cable car through the cliffs is exhilarating. You can encounter all sorts of people and scenery along the way. I chose a relatively energy-saving method and spent most of the day hiking, stopping and looking around. It was a great experience. I would like to try hiking at night sometime.
Definitely must visit when in Xi’an. Must be fully aware that it quite challenging. Xi feng up and Xi Feng down is fully recommended. My route Xi Feng up, Bei Feng down took us almost 4 hours and that was when we skipped the three other Feng. 4 hours is the time spent on the mountain.

Worth it🤩🤩. Amazing performance, traditional choreography, wonderful melody . A mix of Modern and classic . A must see show . #memories, #Broadway Chinese version
Definitely worth a visit! The spectacle is spectacular! The moment the entire mountain lit up, the entire audience erupted in cheers.
Sitting outdoors in winter can be quite cold, so remember to dress warmly.
But the performance is absolutely amazing and definitely worth seeing!

Aside from the rainy day, everything else was great. The only thing was that we came across the Jinci Temple, a place covered in a high school or middle school textbook, and we thought it was worth visiting. The temple itself is very rich in content, and there are other attractions nearby, but because it was raining, we could only visit a few of those places.
It was fantastic! We hired a tour guide who explained the history and origins of Jinci Temple as we walked. The guide was excellent! 😊 We spent about two hours exploring the temple grounds and surrounding area. I especially loved the architecture and trees.

Hukou Waterfall Scenic Area | 76.1 km from downtown

Recommended sightseeing time: 2–3 hours

Buying tickets at the attraction is very convenient. The parking lot is large and easy to park in, and it's very close to the ticket gate. You can take a bus to the waterfall entrance, which saves a lot of time. After getting off the bus, it's just a few minutes' walk to the waterfall. It's spectacular and worth seeing.
⛺️Seasonal Activities: Although it's the Yellow River's dry season, it's still spectacular. The lower temperatures also allow you to see the icefalls, but you'll need to go later in the season. There's a little ice currently, but not enough; it would probably be even better when the temperature drops further.
💡Tips: Currently, admission is free, and the shuttle bus costs 20 RMB per person, making it excellent value. There's a free admission policy from December 20, 2025 to February 10, 2026. Tickets can be booked through the "Shanxi Yellow River Hukou Waterfall Tourist Area" WeChat service account or platforms like Ctrip.
🚗Transportation: Navigate to the Shanxi Hukou Waterfall Visitor Center; there are plenty of parking spaces.
👍Recommended Activities: The waterfalls on the Shanxi side seem a bit more spectacular than those on the Shaanxi side. The facilities in the Shanxi scenic area aren't as good as those in Shaanxi, but prices are relatively lower.

The scenery is beautiful, but the restrooms in the scenic area are terrible. Management is inadequate, and the ticket sellers at the windows have poor service. If the restrooms and safety measures in the scenic area could be improved, it would be perfect.

The scenery is rather ordinary, and the commercialized shops lack any distinctive features, making it no different from heavily commercialized places like Wuzhen and Langzhong. Shuanglin Temple is more worth visiting. A day and a night is probably the most you could do in Pingyao Ancient City.
The old town is really big; you could easily spend about three days exploring it all. It has been preserved in its original state, and there are still residents living there. There are attractions that require tickets, many restaurants, and cultural and creative shops. You can enjoy a slow-paced, leisurely stroll through the town.

The hotel owner was very welcoming and helpful, giving me directions to various attractions. The hotel was nice, clean, and conveniently located inside the Xi'an city wall, right in the city center, very close to attractions like the Bell Tower. It offered excellent value for money. I stayed at this hotel again when I visited Xi'an.
Climbing the Bell Tower of Xi'an
Amidst the music and music, guests arrive and the scenery unfolds before my eyes.
The four directions still draw the imperial carriages, high pavilions vie for the sky.
Beyond Jieshi and Huashan, the setting sun shines on the Wei River.
The winter chill makes the return journey long, I stand for a long time as dusk rises.
