Mga bagay na dapat gawin sa Xi'an

guide Ruby is good and friendly - she will ask if we want to join the VX experience of underground palace - which is a AI tomb of Emperor Qin. additional cost of RMB150 which I think is ok but does not justify the price we paid. I’d rather spend the time walking around the town alone. it’s one of those things that guides do for extra income so it’s understandable. the Everlasting Sorrow show is a must! the seat we got is middle seat. I think watching the second show is better but which means will finish late. we watched the 8.10pm show and we got back to the hotel by 10.30pm. huaqing palace is more like a man made palace with the old pools in place. I would say overall a good trip. low peak season but the terracotta was packed!

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

Si 欣欣 ay isang kawili-wiling gabay. Bagaman kami ay naliligaw paminsan-minsan, siya ay tumutugon at mabilis upang matiyak na hindi kami mawawala. Ang lugar ay interaktibo, na may maraming hukay ng terracotta na matatagpuan at makikita.

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.

Excellent tour by Grace and appreciate getting the tickets for the museum which are hard to get. Grace provided a huge amount of detailed information and history from the Shanxi Dynasties. We managed to see multiple ancient relics! Highly reccomended !

Napakamangha ng biyahe. Para akong bumalik sa nakaraan nang bisitahin ko ang Terracotta Warriors Museum. Marami akong natutunan tungkol sa kasaysayan ni Emperador Qin Shi Huang, na nagpagawa ng napakalaking libingan na may libu-libong mandirigma upang protektahan siya sa kabilang buhay. Nakakagulat makita nang malapitan ang mga eskultura ng luwad, bawat isa ay may natatanging detalye at iba't ibang ekspresyon. At mas nakakamangha pa ang malaman na ang emperador ay labis na nahuhumaling sa imortalidad kaya't umabot siya sa pag-inom ng mercury sa paniniwalang mabubuhay siya magpakailanman. Isang lugar na puno ng kasaysayan, misteryo, at kadakilaan. Talagang hindi ko malilimutan ang araw na ito 😊

Matapos mapanood ang "Jiu Jiu Da Qin," hindi pagkabayani ang naramdaman ko, kundi isang malalim na bigat. Hindi ito simpleng pagpupuri sa lakas ng imperyo, kundi ipinapakita nito kung paano unti-unting itinayo ang isang bansa sa pamamagitan ng disiplina, takot, sakripisyo, at paniniwala. Malamig at malupit ang Qin. Ngunit dahil dito, nakatayo ito nang matatag sa magulong panahon. Nakatayo sa harap ng entablado, habang pinagmamasdan ang lakas ng libu-libong hukbo, bigla kong naunawaan: Ang "Jiu Jiu" ay hindi pagmamataas, kundi isang pagpipilian na ipinilit ng panahon. Sa likod ng kapangyarihan ay ang katahimikan ng hindi mabilang na mga hindi kilalang tao; sa likod ng pagkakaisa ay ang mga personal na kapalaran na hindi na maibabalik. Hindi ito isang nakakarelaks na palabas, kundi isang paalala—ang bigat ng kasaysayan ay hindi kailanman romantiko.

Kung maglalakbay ka sa Xi'an, China, masasabing ang Terracotta Army at ang Chang Han Ga performance ang pinakasentro. Kaya naghanap ako sa iba't ibang platform, at dahil sa Klook lang nabibili ang VIP tickets, agad akong nagbayad. Iba ang pasukan para sa VIP, mayroon ding lugar para maghintay bago ang palabas, at nagbibigay din sila ng tsaa at kape. Nag-alala ako sa performance noong Pebrero kaya nagsuot ako ng makapal na damit, ngunit mas mainit pala ang Xi'an noong Pebrero kaysa sa inaasahan. Higit sa lahat, mayroon palang pampainit sa upuan... Nagbigay din sila ng mainit na tsaa kaya napanood ko ang performance nang hindi giniginaw. Napakaganda!

advise to visit in late afternoon. beautiful to watch the sunset. and then it's not hot anymore, nice to bike
