Xi'an's limited-time autumn romance is now live

Xi'an's autumn romance continues to unfold! To let residents and tourists experience the natural beauty of the changing seasons, the Xi'an Urban Management and Law Enforcement Bureau continues to implement the "slow leaf sweeping" policy, setting up 165 spots across the city's public green spaces, including Yannan Park, Happiness Forest Belt, and Tang City Ruins Park, for people to enjoy the autumn scenery. When the ginkgo trees on the streets turn yellow and the early winter sunlight shines on the fallen leaves, the city instantly transforms into a fairy tale world. The golden ginkgo leaves complement the ancient architecture, creating stunning autumn scenes. Strolling through these spots, with soft fallen leaves underfoot and the rustling sound in your ears, you feel as if you are in a peaceful and romantic world, forgetting the troubles of the mundane and fully enjoying the comfort and relaxation of autumn. Whether taking photos or leisurely walking, you will be filled with surprises and beauty. Come to Xi'an for a romantic autumn date and experience the unique charm of this city! (For more specific locations, please refer to the official announcement)

Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum

Where History Stands Guard: Terracotta Army A day with the legendary Terracotta Army in Xi'an - step into ancient history and see China's first emperor's jaw-dropping clay warriors up close! 🏺🛡️👀 Each soldier’s unique face, armor, and stance will leave you amazed by the detail and ambition behind this world wonder. Begin at Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum. Start your route in Pit 1 - the largest and most impressive chamber, where rows of life-sized warriors march into eternity. Next, swing by Pit 3, known as the command center, for a more intimate setting among commanders and cavalry. Don’t miss the Exhibition Hall for close-ups of rare figurines and special artifacts! For panoramic snaps, position your camera above the pits for that epic, “army stretches into forever” moment. After exploring, take the free shuttle from Parking Lot 1 to Lishan Garden, perfect for unwinding among flowers and nature after all that ancient action. Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) are especially picturesque, with fewer crowds and sweet outdoor photo opportunities. Tips: Buy tickets ahead and time your visit early morning or late afternoon for peaceful viewing. Use Xi'an metro (Line 9) to Huaqingchi Station, then hop buses 613 or 602 straight to the museum. Don’t forget comfortable shoes and water - those exhibition halls are bigger than they look! Final tip: admire from above - the best angles for dramatic “sea of warriors” shots. #XiAn #TerracottaArmy #AncientChina #CulturalHeritage #MuseumDay

Xi'an City Wall

Pedal Through History: Xi'an City Wall Adventure 🚴🏯 Ready for a sunlit ride above the ancient city?

This is the ultimate blend of heritage, activity, and outdoor culture - perfect for both history buffs and adventure seekers! 📍First, enter through Yongningmen Gate and walk clockwise until you reach the bike rental station. Picking up your wheels here couldn’t be easier, and with stations across the wall, you can return your bike wherever you finish.

At sunset, the light on the west wall is golden perfection for crisp building details and tree silhouettes. 💡Top tips: Pack water and snacks (no shops on the wall except entrance), and wear sunscreen. The surface is flat - great for all skill levels, but don’t rush. The wall is open 08:00–22:00, with cycling allowed until 20:00. Tickets are RMB 54 and can be bought up to last entry. ‼️Precautions: Expect little shade - protect yourself on sunny days.
