During the National Day holiday, I stayed in a coffee-themed hotel in the ancient city
You should definitely visit Xi'an at least once! Feel the wind on the city walls, stroll through the Night City, climb the Bell and Drum Towers, and admire the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda to experience the prosperity of this ancient city. Why not set off during the National Day holiday?~
📍Day 1
Start with a bike ride along the Ming Dynasty City Wall, saying goodbye to the roar of cars as you pause along its historic path, overlooking the cityscape where old meets new. At dusk, the wall glows in the sunset—nothing is more beautiful than this moment🌇
This time I stayed at Zhefei Hotel (Xi'an Bell Tower South Gate City Wall Branch), a coffeehouse-themed hotel blending European retro style with the charm of the ancient city. It's located near the city wall, making it very convenient for exploring. The stylish design makes it perfect for photos, and they offer coffee and breakfast in the morning to start your day full of energy✨
📍Day 2
Check in at the Bell and Drum Towers and the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda—only after visiting will you truly understand that “when night falls, it becomes Chang’an City.” Here are some classic photo spots👇
1️⃣ Free observation deck on top of Kaiyuan Mall by the Bell Tower
2️⃣ Yongning Gate (South Gate), shoot the Bell Tower from the central axis
3️⃣ Rooftop terrace observation deck at Dayuecheng
4️⃣ Farthest west side of the Bell and Drum Towers Square
In the evening, head to the Tang Paradise Night Market. With Tang-style architecture rising floor upon floor, the lights come alive at dusk, creating a dazzling spectacle. Rows of poetic lantern trees stretch endlessly, and the radiant night scene feels like a dream🌃
Xi'an, a city rich in history and culture, always leaves me wanting to return again and again~
