It was a pretty typical Hanfu rental place. The dress, hair, and makeup were all good quality. The photographer also did a good job, but it isn’t mentioned in the listing that the basic package only includes one photo, and you need to pay extra for the rest. It wasn’t super foreigner friendly since no one spoke English and they didn’t seem used to dealing with foreigners, but they tried their best to be accommodating.

Great 4.0
This shop is near the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda. The address is easy to understand if you ask, as they will send you a photo, so just follow it. The hair and makeup skills were very high. I was very satisfied. The photo shoot finishes relatively quickly. I've had photo shoot experiences at other places, but what was different here was that if you make a reservation here, after the shoot is finished, a retoucher comes to pick you up and you choose the photos you want retouched together. You can choose up to 6 photos, and they will ask if you want to add more, but the additional photos were expensive, so I didn't. Due to language issues, the interaction with this retoucher took quite a bit of time. You have to return the clothes by 9:00 PM, so if you want to take a lot of photos yourself, it's better to book with plenty of time. I went around 5:00 PM, took the photos around 7:00 PM, and wasn't released from the retoucher until around 8:15 PM, so there wasn't much time left.

The Terracotta army did not disappoint was amazing to see in situ. once there you can pay to be taken up to the main area if dont want a long walk. well mapped out. unfortunately you have to walk back (unless we missed it) and its a long walk but through a huge food /shopping area

A small group tour English guide. Chelsea was an amazing tour guide. She's very knowledgeable about the rich history of Xi'an and China. She even recommended some places to visit and Xi'an speciality food to try. I didn't know that 1/2 day tour was with lunch included so it's a bit surprised when Chelsea straight away arranged halal food at a local muslim resto for me and my family after the first meeting! Thank you very much! Highly recommend this tour.

We started day early the bus picked us up in front of the hotel. The journey took about one hour and started with cable car to Mount Li then straight to Huaqing Palace. Afternoon lunch at Terracotta Warrior Museum then visit the Terracotta for 2 hours. Next to the Emperor Qinshihuang Museum then they send us back to Huaqing Palace for The Song of Everlasting Sorrow show at 630 pm. We booked middle seat. You have to pay for the kids if your kids want separate seats does not matter the age. While waiting we had dinner first at the mall in front of the palace. After the show ended, the bus waiting to send us back to the hotel. It was a good experience and organized well with the very helpful tourist guide. Good memory here 😊

After watching "赳赳大秦 (The Qin Empire)," I didn't feel excitement, but a deep sense of heaviness. It's not just a simple glorification of the empire's strength, but it allows you to see how a country is built step by step through discipline, fear, sacrifice, and belief. Qin is cold and ruthless. But precisely because of this, it was able to stand its ground in a chaotic world. Standing in front of the stage, watching the momentum of thousands of troops, I suddenly understood: "赳赳 (Jiū Jiū)" is not arrogance, but a choice forced out by the times. Behind the strength lies the silence of countless nameless people; behind the unification are individual destinies that can never return. This is not a performance that makes people feel relaxed, but a reminder that the weight of history is never romantic.
