Xi'an Current Situation! Sisters planning to travel during May Day, take advice!
1️⃣Xi'an is suitable for a 4-5 day itinerary, you can visit Mount Hua, and there's no need to rush like special forces, 【no need to join a tour group】. Xi'an's tourism is quite mature, and the money for a tour group can be spent on hiring a good guide multiple times.
2️⃣It's more appropriate to carpool to the Terracotta Warriors due to the crowds. Heed the advice to grab tickets online in advance, bring your ID, and first visit 【Lishan Garden】. The ticket for the Terracotta Warriors includes Lishan Garden, which is not the same as Lishan, two completely different places, 2 kilometers away from the Terracotta Warriors. It's the excavation site of the bronze chariots and horses, and you need to buy a sightseeing car ticket for 15 yuan per person. Fewer people there, and after visiting, head to the Terracotta Warriors around 1 pm, where there's a free shuttle bus.
3️⃣The 【Terracotta Warriors】 site will be extremely crowded. Don't worry about which pit number, they're all crowded. The lighting inside is dim, and the signal is poor, so there's no need to look for explanations on Bilibili as you won't be able to open them. It's recommended to find a human guide, who usually provides headphones, and it's basically impossible to eavesdrop. Definitely find a guide, as the historical stories are more interesting.
4️⃣Performances at 【Da Tang Everbright City】 are timed, and I couldn't squeeze in, really couldn't! It's not recommended to go to the Everbright City at night in fancy dress, as it's crowded and you might step on your dress.
5️⃣The steles in the 【Stele Forest Museum】 are currently under repair and not visible, so keep an eye on their official WeChat account for the latest news.
6️⃣【Terracotta Warriors-Huaqing Pool-The Song of Everlasting Sorrow】 are close to each other and should be arranged on the same day. However, if time is limited, it's suggested to skip Huaqing Pool, but 【The Song of Everlasting Sorrow】 is a must-see.
7️⃣You must book in advance for 【Shaanxi History Museum】. If you can't get a reservation, keep refreshing to see if there are any cancellations on the day. It's very worthwhile, especially if you're bringing children. If you're not interested in the Shaanxi Museum, you can skip the Small Wild Goose Pagoda.
8️⃣Local sisters do not recommend going to Muslim Street, but you can visit 【Sajinqiao】. It's crowded even during the day. I went there early in the morning at 7 am, and many places already had long queues, truly delicious without any disappointments.
9️⃣There are only shared bicycles in Xi'an city center, no electric scooters, so definitely do not drive there. If you're driving yourself, leave your car at the hotel and then take the subway, which is the most convenient.
🔟【Da Tang Furong Garden】 is a Tang Dynasty garden park, with a ticket price of 120 yuan. If you're dressing up for a photo shoot, then it's a great place for pictures. If you're just looking to visit, you can skip it.
1️⃣1️⃣It's recommended to book a hotel near 【Bell Tower】, which is also close to Sajinqiao, convenient for travel. However, prices rise quite a bit during May Day, so if you haven't booked yet, consider hotels along subway line 2, which are relatively convenient.
1️⃣2️⃣You can visit the Xi'an City Wall in the evening, entering from Yongning Gate. Around 6 pm, there are performances at Yongning Gate.

Very exciting, beyond expectations! Shaanxi Museum is one of the four major museums in China. The collection is very rich. Many national treasures of the National Museum are sent to Beijing collections after excavation in Shaanxi. Our package covers: basic exhibition hall, treasure hall and mural hall. The content is very rich and wonderful. It mainly talks about national treasures and first-class cultural relics for six or seven hours. It has benefited a lot and experienced a lot. The explanation of Mr. Bao is very professional, and all kinds of historical knowledge and allusions are in hand, wonderful; all kinds of historical events and characters are in the vein of the rambling, which is fascinating. There are many people visiting during the May Day holiday today. The exhibition hall is very crowded and stuffy. Teacher Bao has been taking care of my son, and he has worked hard and patiently and meticulously. Thank you very much! Highly recommended, will come again next time!
5.1 No tickets for the holiday reservation, decisively choose Trip.com's Shaanxi Libo private manual explanation service, and finally successfully determine the itinerary on May 4.

From the door line up, the basic exhibition hall, treasure hall, mural hall more than 5 hours to explain, teacher Yuan is knowledgeable, rich in content, friendly attitude, let us spend a very meaningful day in Shaanxi Libo, thank you!
This one-to-two private talk exceeded my expectations. Mr. Yang Yuqin was knowledgeable and professional, and patiently and meticulously explained, which brought us a vivid trip to Shaanxi Libo. The whole process was very pleasant. The original 4 and a half hours of explanation journey, and it took 5 and a half hours. Harvest is quite rich, if there are friends around to take the baby to Xi'an, I will be very happy to recommend Yang Yuqin teacher's explanation.
To the Shaanxi History Museum, please explain, understand the history and stories of various museum collections, and make the museum's itinerary worthwhile. Especially for children, there will be more experiences outside of books in the face of various cultural relics. Teacher Yuan told very meticulous and professional. Can plan the tour route well to avoid the crowded flow of people. Making the visit process more smooth is the child's deeper understanding of the national treasure relics. It is worth coming again, thank you very much for Mr. Yuan's explanation.
