Just landed in Xi’an! Here’s my power-packed adventure, featuring epic archaeology and top-tier comfort 🏨⚔️ Must-See: The Terracotta Army Nothing prepares you for the first glimpse inside Emperor Qinshihuang’s Mausoleum Site Museum. The sheer size and detail of the Terracotta Warriors take “awe-inspiring” to a whole new level! Pro tip: Arrive before 10AM to beat crowds, and head straight to the Exhibition Hall for close-up views of the best-preserved warriors. Bring your camera—the natural daylight makes photos stunning. Address: Emperor Qinshihuang’s Mausoleum Site Museum, Lintong District, Xi’an. Hours: 8:30–17:00. Where to Stay Loved Sofitel Xi’an on Renmin Square (No. 319 Dongxin Street). The staff go above and beyond—seriously, they’ll proactively help with luggage, upgrades, and emergencies. Rooms are spotless, gym & pool on point, and you get a lavish breakfast buffet blending Western and local flavors (don’t miss the steamed buns). If you need business lounge access or free parking, you’re sorted. Getting Around Xi’an taxis are abundant and super affordable, or use the metro for landmarks. The Terracotta Army site is a 1-hour drive from downtown; book a car via trip.com for smooth rides. Local Tips Cash is king in some spots, but Alipay/WeChat Pay widely accepted. Spring and autumn offer the best weather—layers recommended! Consider booking attraction tickets on trip.com to skip lines. #TerracottaArmy #XianTravel #HotelSpotlight #ChinaTrip #tripdotcom

Heading to Xi’an? You can’t miss the legendary Xi’an Drum Tower – a spot that’s got both serious history and some of the best city views you’ll find! 🌇 Top Spot to Visit: Xi’an Drum Tower Address: No. 74, North Courtyard, Lianhu District, Xi'an Opening Hours: - Apr 1-Jul 18: 08:30-21:30 (last ticket: 21:00) - Jul 19-Aug 31: 08:30-22:30 (last ticket: 22:00) - Sep 1-Oct 10: 08:30-21:30 (last ticket: 21:00) - Oct 11–Mar 31: 08:30-18:00 (last ticket: 17:30) Admission Fee: ¥30 Why go? The Drum Tower is not just epic on the outside, but climbing up gets you sweeping panoramic views of Xi’an that totally wowed me. The way the city lights sparkle at night makes it even more magical (sunset or after-dark visits highly recommended for next-level pics 📸). The place isn’t overly crowded if you go later in the day, letting you chill and take in the vibes. Getting Around: The Drum Tower is right in the city center — super easy to walk to from the Muslim Quarter or take a quick metro/taxi from almost anywhere in Xi’an. Eat & Drink: After your tower tour, hit up the Muslim Quarter nearby for must-try local eats like roujiamo (Chinese burger) and fresh pomegranate juice. Pro Tip: Bring a light jacket after sunset; it gets breezy on top, but you’ll want to stay for those killer views! #XianDrumTower #XiAnTrip #ChinaTravel #TravelGuide #TripDotCom

Spent 3 amazing nights in Xi’an and I couldn’t believe how epic the old meets new vibes are! 😍 From ancient emperors to neon noodle bars, this city brings the drama. If you’re after history, food, and super easy adventures, bookmark this! Must-See Places: - Terracotta Warriors Museum (Lintong District, 8:30am–5pm): Xi’an’s no.1 must! The army is jaw-dropping. Pro tip: Go early for photo ops. - City Wall (South Gate, 8am–10pm): Walk or rent a bike for a killer city view. At night, fairy lights make it extra magical. - Muslim Quarter (Huimin St, til late): Snack heaven — try lamb kebabs or roujiamo (“Chinese burger”). Crowds thin out after 8pm for easier exploring. - Giant Wild Goose Pagoda (Yanta District, 8am–5pm): Beautiful architecture and a chill surrounding park. - Drum Tower & Bell Tower (Beilin District, 8:30am–9:30pm): These historic towers are close together and super photogenic, especially at dusk. Tips: - Buy tickets for major spots on trip.com ahead — lines can be gnarly at Terracotta Warriors. - Biking the City Wall takes ~1.5 hours. Bring water! - The subway and Didi (ride-sharing) make getting around dead simple. - Most street stalls in the Muslim Quarter take cash or WeChat Pay, so load up before heading out. - Weather: Xi’an can be dry year-round but gets chilly at night — pack layers. Food Faves: - Roujiamo at Lao Sun Jia — it’s iconic - Hand-pulled biangbiang noodles at First Noodle Under The Sun - Persimmon cakes from street vendors Getting Around: - Xi’an Metro is clean, cheap, and English-friendly. - Didi app works best for late nights or further spots. Pack some comfy shoes because you’ll walk LOTS. Xi’an totally delivers, whether you’re a history buffs or a foodie on the run! #XianTrip #AncientChina #FoodieAdventure #TerracottaWarriors #tripdotcom
