Famous scenic spots:
Terracotta Warriors, Bell and Drum Tower, Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Little Wild Goose Pagoda, Qinling Mountains, Daming Palace, Weiyang Palace, etc.
Finally came to the head of the ancient capital-Xi 'an.
After 13 dynasties, this city, which has a profound historical background and has been washed away by years for more than 3,000 years, has a special charm and style, unlike the complexity of Beijing, the simplicity of Datong and the absence of Chang 'an.
In fact, I am desperate to write this travel note, because Xi 'an has so many delicious and interesting things, but I still want to write it down to commemorate the gripping shock Xi 'an brought me.
Arrived at three o'clock in the morning and lived near Yongning Gate. I called the kind-hearted youth travel proprietress and got up specially to check in for me. I really appreciate it, or I'll sleep on the street!
Opposite Yongning Gate is the Academy Gate, where I live in a youth hostel. So I started a five-day journey.
The gate of the college
Xi people usually refer to the "Academy Gate" as a pedestrian street from the forest of steles to the entrance of Guanzhong Academy. As a famous painting and calligraphy street, the shops on both sides of this street are antique decoration, and Four Treasures of the Study has everything. In-depth, there is an antique art city at the gate of the Academy. Many old painters and painters sell their works here, and the inscriptions on the spot are very atmospheric.
Bought two folding fans, what inscription did the shopkeeper kindly give ~
The Academy Gate is near Yongning Gate (South Gate) of Xi 'an City Wall, opposite Xiangzi Temple. You can drop by. There are also bars and coffee streets in Telford Lane, which is very suitable for a quiet and leisurely walk for an afternoon.
Bell tower/drum tower
Drum Tower (Japan)
Bell tower (night)
Xi 'an's landmark, the Bell and Drum Tower, is located on the opposite side of two floors in the city center, and its prosperity has spread from the bell tower. Huimin Street, Kaiyuan Mall and Cicconi all surround the Bell Tower. Xi 'an Bell Tower is the largest and best-preserved bell tower left over from ancient China. The history of the Drum Tower is four years earlier than that of the Bell Tower.
The night view of the Bell and Drum Tower is very beautiful. Before eight o'clock in the evening, you can go upstairs to see the night view of Xi 'an, and have a panoramic view of the bustling fourth street in the southeast and northwest of Sixth Road in the evening. At night, you will also see many people standing on the roadside trying to avoid cars and take photos with the bell tower.
Muslim street
Of course, it is the food street that Xi Anbi will go to! It's just behind the Drum Tower. Although many people say that Huimin Street is a pit, you won't go by yourself. Even though it has been seriously commercialized, there are many delicious foods with a long history hidden in it. For example, Jia San's soup packets, old paomo, new persimmon cakes, steamed dumplings in Southeast Asia, and sesame paste stuffing.
On the left side of Huimin Street, there is a big leather courtyard of Western City. Go along these two streets for a long time until there are no tourists, which is almost a food station for local people in Xi 'an. For example, Shi Jia steamed buns, steamed dumplings with cold soup, and rice with eggs in Laojinjia. In fact, the real Xi cuisine is really near Huimin Street, but not in Huimin Street. As a downtown street, there are also various gourmet pedestrian streets in the nearby Roman market and Dapi Lane.
Huimin street, walking for four days in five days, goes foraging in batches every night. Finally, I ate almost all the characteristics of Xi 'an, and I was very satisfied. Even on the way to the airport, I carried a bowl of glutinous rice cake.
Ancient city wall
The largest and best-preserved ancient city wall in China.
Built in the Ming Dynasty, it has been more than 600 years since now, and it is still impregnable. The total length of the city wall is 13.74 km, which I know very well, because I came to Xi 'an to run the city wall marathon. The four main doors in the southeast and northwest are Changle Gate, Yongning Gate, Anding Gate and Anyuan Gate. In the evening, you can climb the city wall to see the night scene at dusk, stroll through the city wall and feel the ancient charm of the Millennium.
Small Wild Goose Pagoda
Little Wild Goose Pagoda is a typical work of square brick pagoda with dense eaves in early China, and it is the artistic heritage of Buddhist architecture in Tang Dynasty. Together with the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, it has been called "Eight Scenes in Guanzhong" together with the ancient bell tower.
From the bottom of my heart, I think the Little Wild Goose Pagoda is much more interesting than the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. Unlike the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, there are not many tourists, and it is hidden in the city. There is a small intangible cultural heritage park next to it, where you can watch shadow play and puppet show. After reading it, you really feel amazing and admire China's craftsmanship.
There is also a small shop selling hand-painted fans by old painters in the park, and the price is conscience. I bought a persimmon and a catfish.
But unfortunately, the Little Wild Goose Pagoda is being overhauled now, so we can't go in. You can enjoy the cool and rest under the green trees in the small garden nearby. Pine forest, a quiet historical site.
Next to Little Wild Goose Pagoda is Xi 'an Museum. Pick up tickets for free with your ID card and visit by the way.
Yongxingfang
Yongxingfang is a food street more favored by local people than Huimin Street. It is said that Wei Zhi's mansion was here more than 400 years ago. There are famous online foods such as broken bowls of wine, long pancakes, hawthorn and waxberry jelly. Although the popularity is not as high as that of Huimin Street, it is really bad that the place is not big. It's crowded and difficult to move on weekends, but the night view is beautiful ~
There is also a hidden snack street next to Yongxingfang. If you don't look carefully, it's not easy to find it.
Tangleyuan
Tang Furong Garden is the first large-scale royal garden-style cultural theme park in China, which was rebuilt on the north side of the original Tang Furong Garden site. The night scene is extremely beautiful, magnificent, bright and elegant.
Furong Garden is very big, and there is a map manual at the entrance of the scenic spot. Personally, I feel as big as Daming Lake in Jinan. I walked for about three hours, along Taohuawu, Ladies Pavilion, Flag Pavilion, Stone Terrace, Yinqiao Waterfall and so on. Occasionally, officers and men riding horses come to visit the park, and there are regular lion dances and poetry performances in Xingyuan. This is very interesting.
At the same time, Datang Furong Garden can watch the world's largest water curtain film performance in Ziyun Building at night. At present, it is the "Sheng Da in the Monkey", which uses the fountain as the medium, uses color laser to scatter, and creates 3D projection effect in the water curtain, which is quite shocking.
At night, all the lights in the Tang Furong Garden are on, which really feels like the glitz of the Tang Dynasty.
Qujiang qingliangdong park
A quiet park is a scenic spot, with the faithful love story between Wang Baochuan and Xue Pinggui as the main line. The atmosphere of the whole park is very quiet, which is in line with the romantic theme. We mainly look at the former site of Wang Baochuan Cold Kiln, where Xue Pinggui lived for eighteen years.
Cold kiln Chaoyang, Qujiang flowing water. There are also black swans in the park, with picturesque night scenes.
I was a little moved by the (not) sad atmosphere of this kiln and the quiet and simple landscape of the park.
Qujiang bookstore
Qujiang Bookstore, located near the south gate of Tang Furong Garden, is magnificent in architectural modeling and full of artistic sense of space geometry. Taking pictures anywhere is full of literary sense.
The book city has two floors, including a coffee shop, a flower shop, a bookstore and a stationery store. It has a rich collection of books, from a brief history of the universe to a bibliography of advanced mathematics. The atmosphere is quiet and peaceful, suitable for a quiet and leisurely afternoon. Well-known authors often come here for signing parties ~
There are many coffee shops and dessert shops nearby, so you can have a rest when you are tired.
Forest of Stone Steles Museum
The Forest of Steles Museum is located at the end of the gate of the Academy, mainly displaying the Han Dynasty inscriptions preserved by Chen. The famous "Six Horses in Zhaoling" is hidden here. There is also an exhibition of Chinese paintings and a museum of stone carving art, which contains typical Buddhist statues and is a must-see place for painting and calligraphy lovers.
Of course, this kind of place still needs a commentator, otherwise it will be a few broken stones with words written on them (I choose to listen). There are also calligraphy and painting rubbings on the tablet, and the rubbings made from them can be purchased and collected. Of course, the rubbings in the museum are twice as expensive as those outside. )
The museum is small and much quieter than the Shaanxi History Museum, which is full every day. It was raining on the day I went, so I sat on the porch and rested, listening to the rain and looking at the gazebo.
Wild Goose Pagoda/Jixiang Temple
The Big Wild Goose Pagoda falls in Daji Lane, a famous Buddhist temple, where the Buddha statues, Buddhist relics and Sanskrit classics brought back from Tianzhu by Master Xuanzang are enshrined. There are seven floors, and the fourth floor is also dedicated to relics. You can see the scenery of Yanta District when you climb the tower. The rest is nothing special, but it is still very ornamental because it is a Buddhist classic building.
Comparatively speaking, I prefer Little Wild Goose Pagoda. At night, there is the largest musical fountain in Asia in the North Square of Big Wild Goose Pagoda. I heard that the night scene was beautiful, but I missed it.
Qin Shihuang Mausoleum Site Museum
Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses, the "eighth wonder of the world" of Xi An Biyou, are excavated, inspected, repaired and explained on the spot. When you come to this historical and cultural attraction, you must ask the commentator to watch it for nine minutes. If you don't know the story behind this relic, it's just a bunch of broken pottery maids.
The bronze carriage, the treasure of the town hall, was smashed into 3000 pieces during excavation. It took scholars eight years to repair it before they saw this miracle again. The principle of connecting a gold and silver collar around a horse's neck and watering the roof of a carriage is still an unsolved mystery in the world.
At present, the terracotta warriors and horses have only excavated three pits, only one-sixth of the battle of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang, and only the tip of the iceberg.
Pit 1 has the largest area and is the main array of troops with alternating chariots and infantry. The Terracotta Warriors and Horses standing in front have all been restored, while there is a complete site behind them, and the staff are still working in the pit, digging and transporting debris.
After that, the second pit and the third pit were not completely dug, especially the third pit. In order to protect the color of the Terracotta Warriors, no excavation has been started so far, and the original appearance has been preserved.
Qin Shihuang was a tyrant, but he was by no means a bad king.
Although the cruel history behind it is embarrassing, the hegemony of unifying the world is also sung through the ages. It must be said that Qin Shihuang left us a treasure of Chinese civilization, and the essence of China's 5,000-year history was vividly reflected in the Terracotta Warriors and Horses. Seeing this miracle can only be shocking.
Huaqing hot spring
"Mount Li has a palace high, and the purple hall of the bamboo building is triple or quadruple", which refers to Huaqing Palace. Actually, that's the pool where Yang Guifei takes a bath. Later, Empress Dowager Cixi escaped and lived, and so did Chiang Kai-shek.
Her bath is called Haitang soup, and there is a fountain in the center. It is said that water gushed out from this mouth at first, and the cocoa reached several meters, so Yang Guifei may be the first person to take a bath in the history of the world ~ There are also lotus soup washed by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty and Star soup washed by Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty.
There is a famous song and dance performance in Huaqing Palace in the evening. I didn't make it, but it's really worth seeing.
Mount Li
In ancient times, Nu Wa "tempered stones to make up the sky"; At the end of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Youwang staged a "bonfire play for princes" here. In the heyday of Tang Dynasty, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty built Huaqing Pool for Yang Guifei here. In modern history, the famous "Xi Incident" also happened on Mount Li, which can be said to be a Baoshan that witnessed the rise and fall of China.
However, due to time constraints, I only climbed to the Bin Jiange, where Chiang Kai-shek was captured alive. The tiger found the stone where Chiang Kai-shek was hiding here. It's so steep and narrow here that it's difficult for me to climb the chain. Chiang Kai-shek is really a great man.
Xi Anbanpo Museum
This is the ruins museum of Banpo in the Stone Age. There are village ruins left by the people in the first Banpo, as well as various stone tools, pottery, ornaments, stationing signs and so on. The famous mesh painted pottery basin is also on display here.
Unlike the overcrowded Shaanxi History Museum, there are fewer people here because it is more remote. It is also of great historical significance to feel the survival wisdom and rough civilization of primitive ancestors.
Banpo International Art Center
Near the Textile City, this is an open art area, which is a bit partial, sparsely populated and a bit shabby, and it can also be regarded as a broken industrial artistic atmosphere. There are many sculptures and graffiti walls here, and there is an abandoned train track, which is very suitable for taking literary photos.
There are also many cafes in it, each of which is decorated with artistic flavor. If you are tired, you can have a rest.
SEG International Shopping Center
The longest escalator in Asia is in Zegri, where there are all kinds of shops and facilities, even small bridges and waterfalls. Walking around it, it feels spacious and imposing. In Zegri, Tik Tok's famous Chang 'an food stall is also filled with brush cakes.
Kyle Museum of Fine Arts
This store/art gallery is so unique that I can't help adding 233333. Is this an art gallery or a coffee shop? Underground, the place is spacious and full of design. There are many sculptures, bronze statues and oil paintings on display, so you can sit and rest at will when you visit. The atmosphere is great.
Moreover, the table is very big, reading and meeting are very spacious, and the coffee in this store can be discounted by 30% when you show your student ID card, which is very similar to the preferential policy for museum tickets.
It's probably all the scenic spots I've been to ~ There are big leather yards, golden bridges, gymnasiums, and those unknown alleys. Wandering leisurely in the ancient city streets, it's fresh and interesting to go anywhere.
Ok, next, another key point, Xi cuisine!
Rougamo;?Rou?Jia?Mo,?Chinese?hamburger
Speaking of Xi 'an, how can you not mention Chinese hamburger? It's just a treasure of the world, okay? Traditional meat buns are full of bacon, and then slowly there are eggs, potato chips, vegetables, and almost everything can be put into the buns. At night, when you see many roadside stalls, you can choose your own dishes and make them into fried buns for you to eat.
I went to four different stores for China steamed buns, and sure enough, the quality of China steamed buns is different.
Qin Yu's Chinese hamburger and China's Chinese hamburger on the tip of his tongue were taken in his home. Steamed buns are authentic Baiji buns, and with the softness of bacon, the meat is fat but not greasy, thin but not firewood, and the fat meat tastes oily and delicious.
Woods Road Zhangji Chinese hamburger, the same excellent bacon and Baiji steamed buns, can see the process of making steamed buns from the transparent glass wall, and the weight of a bowl of cold rice noodles is just right.
Lao Tongguan Chinese hamburger, his steamed stuffed bun is very special and crisp. It tastes great to eat crispy slag with tender bacon.
By the way, the steamed buns of optional dishes I bought at a street stall one morning were only 3.5 1 USD. The dishes are casually sandwiched, and the steamed buns are hot and freshly baked. Of course, as long as it is steamed in Xi 'an, it is delicious.
Throw a bowl of wine.
Tik Tok smashed a bowl of wine, and there were too many shaking friends who came to punch in. Many of them needed security to maintain order. And the wine is really bad (like Wenmi soup), mainly because it is crisp and auspicious, and it is quite happy.
After queuing for half an hour, I went out of the alley and found another bowl of wine outside the alley. So, I don't have to go into Yongxingfang to smash bowls. Remember, there is a family outside the alley on the right side of Yongxingfang who smashed the bowl of wine with fewer bowls.
Zhi Guan Liang Tang steamed dumplings
It is said that this shop can avoid eating steamed dumplings when it comes, but the eight-treasure rice must be eaten.
Babao rice is a big bowl, which contains sunflower seeds, peanuts, lotus seeds, chopped hawthorn, medlar, raisins, red dates and so on. I also ordered an original iced Bazhen hawthorn. The raw material is almost just more hawthorn, and it is sweet and sour, and the hawthorn is broken and waxy. It feels really right! ! Eating eight-treasure rice alone must be sweetened.
The signature beef soup steamed dumplings are full of meat, the beef is delicate and silky, the soup is rich, the skin is thin and the stuffing is big, and the salty mouth is served with sweet and sour mouth to ice the hawthorn eight treasures.
Sanqin packages
If it is a lifelong regret for Xi 'an not to eat Chinese hamburger, then eating Chinese hamburger, cold rice noodles and ice peaks is to die unsatisfied. A mouthful of hot Chinese hamburger, a mouthful of cold noodles with red oil and a mouthful of iced soda, life is really complete.
Remember: Chinese hamburger+cold rice noodles+ice peak soda = Sanqin.
Mirror cake
Mirror cakes are made by putting glutinous rice flour into a Xiao Mu steamer and steaming it on the stove. White and tender in color, small and round in shape, like a small mirror, hence the name "mirror cake". Dipped in broken nuts and different sugar sauces, it has both the softness of glutinous rice and the sweetness of roses.
Xianyang biangbiang noodles
The three-in-one biangbiang noodle restaurant is a signboard, which is to pour tomatoes, eggs, fried sauce and minced meat on noodles the width of trousers and mix them together to eat. Noodles are rich in sour, sweet, salty and spicy tastes, and the noodles are solid. The bowl is bigger than my face, and it is only half full. What kind of operation is this? However, the quantity is enough, and it is worthy of being Shaanxi pasta.
Ma Feng snack paomo
I arrived at this store at 0: 30 in the evening/kloc-0. Because it is a night market, it doesn't open until four in the afternoon. I had to order raw meat and stir-fried steamed buns and give it a dish of sugar and garlic. Steamed buns are crispy outside and tender inside, with fried vermicelli and tofu skin. In the middle of the night, I ate such a big bowl of steaming salty fried buns and a bottle of iced ice-cold soda, and the fatigue of the whole day was gone. (Of course, I only ate half a bowl)
Huang Gui persimmon cake
This persimmon is made of fire crystal persimmon powder, a specialty of Xi Lintong, and fried with various sugar fillings. The taste is soft and waxy, a bit like pumpkin pie, but the key is that there is stuffing inside, and the hot sugar stuffing flows out, which is rich in flavor and original, rose, hawthorn and peanut.
Shanshisan
At the end of Huimin Street, there is a unique dessert ice cream shop known as "Xi 'an edition Haagen-Dazs". You can choose more than two meatballs, and the taste is very complicated. There are some serious flavors such as matcha, strawberry, sea salt caramel, Chinese tofu, salted duck egg yolk and spicy oil. This novelty is only to satisfy curiosity.
The store also sells paper walnut, egg yolk, jujube paste, Qin crisp and other accompanying gifts. When I ordered, I gave A Qin chips, which were sweet, salty and delicious.
Milk and eggs are _ bad.
_ Bad is sweet wine, and the combination of _ Bad+ milk+egg liquid is really great. Sprinkle sesame seeds and medlar. Sweet wine has a milky smell and a faint smell, so it is better to drink it chilled. It was the soul chef who invented this combination.
Laojinjia Cai Dan jiamo
In a small shop at the corner of Sprinkled Golden Bridge, there are many people waiting in line, adding poached eggs, egg yolks, mustard tuber, peanuts, etc., and then smearing hot sauce. You can't eat all the ingredients at once, so you need more eloquence and a solid taste.
Sheng Wang Zhi ma Jiang Niang pi
Pour a spoonful of sesame paste on the cold dough, add pepper and mix with some chopsticks. Spicy sauce and sesame sauce are dripped on every surface, and the sweet and spicy taste is very unique. In short, those who like sesame sauce must eat it!
Shi Jia steamed bun
This family's cumin steamed stuffed bun is famous for its thin skin and heavy stuffing. Cumin stuffing is slightly hemp and spicy, and pork is fine and tasty. I heard that his hawthorn eight-treasure porridge is also delicious, but it's a pity that I went too early and only steamed buns were eaten ~
Ximu yoghourt
In a chain yogurt shop in Xi 'an, Ximu alone bought yogurt ice cream rolls, double skin milk and plain yogurt! It is really delicious! Full of milk flavor, yogurt rolls are also fried and shoveled now, so you can add your own ingredients. In a word, you should buy a bottle of yogurt when you see it when you go shopping.
Hua Nai Nai suan meitang
There are many Chinese grandma sour plum soups in Huimin Street, but only one is really selling them. Grandma Hua herself must be a deadpan old lady selling sour plum soup. Sour plum soup tastes soft and has an endless aftertaste.
Southeast Asia retort pouch
Although it was said to be Southeast Asian glutinous rice cake, I didn't eat it. I just bought a book from Huimin Street and tried it. However, glutinous rice cakes in Southeast Asia are more famous. Steamed sweet glutinous rice wrapped in dense jujube paste and bean paste, put it in a vat, scrape it out with a spoon to hold a bowl of glutinous rice cake, but there are still many copies. Haha, jujube paste and glutinous rice are a perfect match.
Hawthorn bayberry jelly
In the online celebrity stall of Yongxing Square snack street, ice powder, peanuts, soft candy, sesame seeds and sunflower are added to the iced hawthorn and bayberry soup, and there is a whole boiled bayberry in it. Don't eat in a bowl in summer.
Guihuayin
In a tea shop in Huimin Street, the clerk gave me a free drink in a small cup. I think it's delicious ~ Osmanthus fragrans should be made of milk osmanthus fragrans, and a layer of golden broken Osmanthus fragrans is sprinkled on the dense milk bubbles. Sweet-scented osmanthus milk is rich, and there is no lid, so I have to drink it in this way.
Low-sugar mung bean cake
There are many stalls selling this low-sugar mung bean cake in Huimin Street. The powder is soft and cool, with strong mung bean flavor, jujube paste flavor, peanut flavor, sesame flavor and many other flavors, but in fact I eat almost all of them.
Jia Wei cold rice noodles
A chain store in Xi 'an is equivalent to KFC in Xi 'an. In addition to selling hamburgers, fried chicken and coke, we also sell cold noodles and meat buns similar to the same paragraph. The secret cold rice noodles taste good. Looking at a lot of spicy oil, only sour and refreshing, cold rice noodles are very thick.
Qishan minced noodles
In Xi 'an, you will never get tired of eating spaghetti. Looking at the hot soup with red and spicy oil everywhere, it's actually not spicy or oily at all. The noodles are always very solid and solid, and the weight is so full every time. It is recommended not to stir too hard. Once you mix them into the soup, you can't find them.
Well, the cultural tour of the ancient gourmet city has finally come to an end. Visiting and eating in Xi 'an for five days, every day is extremely rich and novel. Whether it is mottled ancient city wall bricks or simple locals, Xi 'an's colorful night scenes and ancient museums, it is so fascinating.
Sauvignon Blanc, in Chang 'an, sings Jin Jinglan in autumn.
Finally, put a few sketches in the same way, and wish everyone can live in their own poetic country.
