Coisas para fazer em Xi'an

What a wonderful tour. It was like stepping back in time visiting the Terracotta Warriors Museum. I learned more about the history of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, who ordered the creation of a massive tomb with thousands of warriors to protect him in the afterlife. It was impactful to see the clay sculptures up close, each with unique details and different expressions. And even more impressive to learn that the emperor was so obsessed with immortality that he even consumed mercury, believing he would live forever. A place full of history, mystery, and grandeur. I truly won't forget this day 😊

导游Ruby很好很友善——她会问我们是否想参加地下宫殿的VX体验——那是秦始皇的AI陵墓。额外费用是人民币150元，我觉得还可以，但与我们支付的价格不符。我宁愿花时间独自在镇上走走。这是导游赚取额外收入的方式之一，所以可以理解。长恨歌表演是必看的！我们得到的座位是中间座位。我觉得看第二场会更好，但这意味着会结束得很晚。我们看了晚上8点10分的演出，晚上10点30分回到了酒店。华清宫更像是一个人造宫殿，里面有古老的池塘。总的来说，这是一次不错的旅行。虽然是淡季，但兵马俑那里人山人海！

欣欣 is an interesting guide. Though we got lost at times, she was responsive and quick to ensure we were found. The place is interactive, with many pits of the terracotta warriors to be found and seen.

If you are going to Xi'an and are currently considering joining a tour or are choosing between several tour options, TRUST ME, just join this one. If you are not staying near the Bell Tower, the Bell Tower Hotel is very, very easy to locate. The drive back and forth was smooth, and the trip itself was amazing with Chelsea as the guide ❤️. I would 10/10 recommend this tour! (Not to mention, the lunch was great and abundant!)

After watching "Jiu Jiu Da Qin" (The Great Qin), my heart wasn't filled with passion, but with a profound sense of heaviness. It wasn't simply a glorification of the empire's might, but rather a revelation of how a nation is painstakingly built, step by step, through discipline, fear, sacrifice, and conviction. Qin was cold, and it was ruthless. But precisely because of this, it was able to stand firm amidst a chaotic era. Standing before the stage, witnessing the imposing grandeur of a thousand armies, I suddenly understood: "Jiu Jiu" (mighty/valiant) wasn't pride, but a choice forced upon them by the times. Behind its strength lies the silence of countless nameless individuals; behind its unification lies the irreversible fate of personal lives. This isn't a performance meant to be lighthearted, but a reminder— the weight of history is never romantic.

It was a truly enjoyable experience. Tickets are usually very difficult to get, but I was able to purchase them easily and affordably, and the guide was incredibly kind. Any minor communication difficulties were easily resolved with Papago. If you come to Xi'an, I believe the Shaanxi History Museum is a must-visit, provided you can secure a reservation. It was a truly wonderful experience.

When traveling to Xi'an, China, the Terracotta Army and the "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" performance are arguably the main attractions. So, I looked around various platforms, and since VIP tickets were only sold on Klook, I immediately purchased them. VIP ticket holders have a separate entrance, a waiting area before the performance, and are offered tea and coffee. I was worried about the February performance and bundled up, but Xi'an in February was warmer than I expected. Most importantly, the seats had heating... and warm tea was also provided, so I watched the performance without feeling cold. It was wonderful.

Grace'in rehberliğinde harika bir turdu ve bulunması zor olan müze biletlerini almamıza çok sevindik. Grace, Shanxi Hanedanlıkları hakkında çok detaylı bilgi ve tarih verdi. Birçok antik kalıntıyı görmeyi başardık! Şiddetle tavsiye edilir!

Advise to visit in late afternoon. Beautiful to watch the sunset. And then it's not hot anymore, nice to bike.
