Spent 3 amazing nights in Xi’a

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!
