For the first time a person backpack a faraway place, chose Xi'an, the reason is very simple, to so many places, almost all provinces and cities in the South, saw a lot of natural scenery; should also find a city in the north to see Look at the human landscape, Xi'an is undoubtedly the best choice, it does not have arrangements for a very long trip, three days is sufficient.
Xi'an early March did not I imagine the cold, hotel room heating bake me get the body warm, so I not only feelings, living in the north was so comfortable, and the family has a heating pipe, which, as I was in Shanghai the home, if no air conditioning, winter just like to stay in ice-cold inside.
First stop, I came to the Shaanxi History Museum, where relics exhibited a long history and variety. Because it is low season, not many people visit the museum, so not many tourists hire instructors, most foreign tourists are also employed, I can only walk slowly in a pair of American tourists will attend a one to explain in English. Because of the history of poor, I cursory two hours out from the museum, and went straight to Big Wild Goose Pagoda. Big Wild Goose Pagoda built in the Great Chi Yun Temple, large Jionji Muro-ji Temple was originally the Sui Dynasty, Tang Dynasty Wude abandoned. Gaozong Li Zhi was rebuilt in 22 years to build Zhenguan, named "Chi Yun." After the completion ceremony of a monastery in India learn from the monk Xuan Zang returned, led by either host, in this translation of Buddhist scriptures, more than 10 years. Terauchi has built over 5,000 square meters of Tang Dynasty monk Xuan Zang Sanzo hospital buildings.
Hui Street, noon meals, amazing how your appetite so well, first in the city below building E. bought two mirror cake Jie Chan, Jia 3 soup packets and then to shop with a customer-beef soup packets (10 Pack), a bowl of Eight rice porridge, actually put them wiped them out. After the feed itself, rose to look for User strongly recommended "mosque." Mosque location is very hidden street not far from the Muslims, but let me find some good, Odera is really value for money (with the ticket presented a leaflet in English and Chinese), which I recall with nostalgia the old buildings afternoon a memorable one the relentless press the shutter. In the prayer hall outside I also met a Moslem brother-lucky, enthusiastic introduced me to the temple's history and their worship of the grand occasion.
Out from the mosque, the former Forest of Stone Tablets also want to look at, but suddenly found that the streets of Xi'an, fun to do. Each go to a new city, if only the tourist attractions in a rush, then take the time, the city is empty for you because you did not really get a better feel Nazuo ordinary urban life and living conditions. Therefore, I made the final decision to abandon Forest of Stone Tablets, abandon Pagodas, abandon Bell and Drum Tower, just quietly sit around edge, watching the pedestrians coming and going, looking cheerful children inviting kite lines running to see if forward to, like me, sit in the square edges of visitors or Xi'an people.
The next morning, I came to the railway station, but could not find how to Famen Temple and the Qianling long-distance truck (later learned was the liberation of restaurants downstairs), and finally pulled one on the west line of coaches, although the coach took me to something I do not want to go to the original attractions, the last two spots went to the Qianling be arranged and the Famen Temple, but the tour guides and drivers are like as people on board fairly well at night also came back one by one we head back to the land, because to send my way flow, and they refunded my 5 yuan to make myself shouting back rent. Unfortunately, the time to Famen Temple, a famous relic of sinking, just at the exhibition to Taiwan, no opportunity to see, "hosting the Games." Night, the Muslim Hui Street store I ordered a lamb Paomo to eat, fasting is a small dish appetizers pickled garlic, I try to eat a small valve, the taste is I can not imagine the United States, even though I usually did not touch the garlic, but this dish was an appetizer back to eating his shirt.
On the third day, my friend insisted on in Xi'an to accompany me to the Huaqing Hot Spring and the terracotta warriors and horses, drive 30 minutes to the Huaqing Pool, Huaqing Hot Springs is a spa, garden built Concubine Yang of the bath. Terracotta warriors and horses have four figurines pits, in addition to the scene more magnificent Pit No. 1, the Pit No. 2,3 a smaller scale, on the 4th hole is empty pit. We spent 20 yuan hired a guide, I feel quite the value, or alone their own perspective, not much meaning. Terracotta Warriors and Horses Ring cycle broadcast screen theater construction of terracotta warriors and horses, explore the documentaries, the momentum of the macro Park, realistic sound effects, After reading it out of the theater, but also reverberation around the ears.
The trip to Xi'an is most regrettable that because of the time did not go to Huashan. The biggest gain is to change my negative impression of Xi'an in the past, people thought Xi'an rough whenever they brandish a fist, but in fact I encounter people all came to Xi'an enthusiasm, especially my second day in Xi'an encounter a rental truck drivers, from what I get on the train after they and I engaged in small talk, almost all of his family situation, and I said, I heard that I am from Shanghai, but also to Shanghai a few years ago, he talked about things, warm and at home.
