A Practical Guide to Avoiding Tourist Traps
1. The smash bowl wine at Yongxing Fang is already outdated! Waiting in line for 1 hour just for a 5-second photo opportunity is really not worth it. 2. If you want to cycle on the city wall, it’s recommended to choose after 5:00 PM. Cycling at noon will likely get you as tanned as a Terracotta Warrior. 3. Don’t pay attention to the unlicensed tour guides at the Terracotta Warriors! Search for official commentary on Bilibili and just listen with your headphones. 4. The pomegranate juice at the Muslim Quarter is often heavily watered down, you’d be better off drinking freshly squeezed sugarcane juice.
Mystical Techniques for Taking Amazing Photos with Your Phone
Big Wild Goose Pagoda: The open-air platform on the 4th floor of Joy City and the red wall near Hey Tea are both great photo spots. Xiangzimiao Street: This is Xi’an’s “Little Jiangnan” photo location, capturing the bluestone roads on rainy days has even more charm. No. 3511 Flower and Bird Market: By using transparent fish tanks with tropical plants, you can take Wong Kar-wai style photos.
Budget Traveler’s Cost Calculation Formula
Transportation: Rely on subway + shared bikes (average cost of 20 yuan per day). Tickets: Purchase the Shaanxi Tourism Hi-Go Card for 69 yuan (this card gives you significant discounts at Huaqing Palace and Mount Hua). Accommodation: Choose to stay at a youth hostel near the Bell Tower subway station, 50 yuan per night. Food: Oil tea and twisted dough at the Xiaonanmen morning market costs only 3 yuan, and the quality roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) at Ziyou Road Zhang’s is 15 yuan.
Late-night reflections: Xi’an’s internet-famous attractions owe 30% of their appeal to historical heritage and 70% to innovative creativity!
