A city full of history.

The museum collections and the architectural design of the museums themselves are truly impressive. If you love history, you really shouldn't miss it. To avoid the crowds and fully enjoy the museum artifacts, it's recommended to visit during the off-season. The Terracotta Army Museum, Xi'an History Museum, Xi'an Archaeological Museum, Forest of Stone Steles Museum, Bell Tower, Drum Tower, etc., some of the collections are even national treasures and are not loaned out. I sincerely recommend getting a guided tour.

For accommodation, I chose the Novotel Bell Tower Hotel. The transportation is very convenient, just a 2-minute walk to the subway station, and you can also walk to Luomashi Pedestrian Street, Bell Tower, Drum Tower, Muslim Street, and other major attractions. More importantly, the hotel service is super attentive. Due to a heating issue, the hotel staff proactively offered to change my room and even upgraded it for free. Additionally, because of a small issue like dental floss, they proactively bought a new one for me. I originally thought that since it was no longer managed by the French Accor Group, the service would decline, but it turned out that they maintained the usual Novotel service quality. Special praise goes to the hotel staff member Wenwen, who, through the WeChat butler service, provided attentive service from before check-in to after check-out, offering a very good accommodation experience for this trip to Xi'an.
