I have been dragging and procrastinating, and when I was sorting out my next itinerary, I finally wrote this travel note (can I say that it was because I couldn't find the entrance to write a travel note....). It took 10 days to walk around Shanxi in the three provinces of Hebei, Henan, and Shaanxi (I didn’t look at the map of China to design it at the time, I forgot about Hengshan Mountain in Shanxi, and I will make it up next time!), and came on a journey of searching for ancient times. trip.

Day 1 Guangzhou→Shijiazhuang

On January 20, 2019, the day before the Spring Festival travel rush, Lao Wang and I set off from Guangzhou!

The cheating 6:55 points China Southern Airlines, after 4:00 my dad drove us to the airport..

Shijiazhuang, here I come!

Arrived at Zhengding Airport at around 10 o'clock, and started to wear clothes after getting off the plane.

Take the airport express line to the vicinity of Xinbai Plaza, various infrastructure constructions along the way... put away your luggage and take a rest, then go to Zhongshan Road to find food, donkey meat is roasted, it is delicious, what can I say Is this the first time I have eaten this thing, I feel like I have never seen it in Guangzhou. It's good to live near Xinbai Plaza, where the subway intersects. The subway in Shijiazhuang should be newly built, only Line 1 and Line 3, but it is already directly connected to the high-speed rail station, which is very convenient, and it should be able to go directly to the airport soon.

The first stop, Hebei Museum, note that all museums across the country are closed on Mondays! The subway is direct, yes, there is a big square when you come out, there are so many pigeons! ! ! ! Follow the national treasure to chase stars, and go to the ticket collection machine with your ID card to collect tickets for free. First of all, Changxin Palace Lantern! There is a special exhibition hall for Changxin palace lanterns, as well as dismantled ones. Painted Sanle Relief, and a companion piece, Painted Service Relief. Wrong gold, silver, four dragons, four phoenixes and copper plan seat, just met someone with a commentary, it may be a tour group, follow up and listen immediately!

At the second stop, I got on the bus and went to the place I was most looking forward to on this trip, Brother Lun’s Huoshe. It is said that we will get the number at 4:30, otherwise we will wait and see... But we are less than 4 It’s almost noon, and I went to the nearby Beiguo supermarket. Strawberries are so cheap, much cheaper than those in Guangzhou, so I decided to buy them!

The decoration of Huoshe is great, I like it very much, I must have brought my own filter. When I went to Hebei, I realized for the first time how small the stomachs of Guangzhou people are. I ordered similar things in Guangzhou, but I was full in Shijiazhuang...and the price is not expensive at all.

Day 2 Zhengding Ancient City

The best way to travel freely is to sleep until you wake up naturally, take the subway to Beisong Station, and transfer to the tourist bus to reach Zhengding Ancient City. There are shuttle battery cars in the ancient city, free of charge. The tourist bus is very cute, the retro version, and it will pass through the ancient city wall. At the beginning, I really didn’t know about Zhengding Ancient City. I just thought about what to do near Shijiazhuang. I saw many people recommending this place on Ctrip. Wow! really great value

Longxing Temple, when we went, there were so few people invincible... I was really amazed!

Longxing Temple is the Longteng Garden of Yan Murongxi after the Sixteen Kingdoms Period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In 586 A.D. (the sixth year of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty), the temple was rebuilt in the garden, and it was called Longzang Temple at that time. It was changed to Longxing Temple in Tang Dynasty and Longxing Temple in Qing Dynasty. It was changed to Longxing Temple; it is one of the earliest, large-scale and well-preserved Buddhist temples in China; it is one of the top ten famous temples in China. (The above are all Baidu)

I was educated since I was a child that you can't take pictures in temples, and you can't take photos of gods and Buddhas...so many, many have not been taken, which is a pity. There is a thousand-armed and thousand-eyed Avalokitesvara in the Dabei Pavilion, which is super tall and super big, so shocking! There are murals in the Mani Hall, and the colored ones can be seen on the dark side. During that time, it was really difficult to maintain and restore the murals after chasing national treasures. The Zhuanlun Zang Pavilion has the oldest Zhuanlun Zang... a lot I forgot, the only photo is Zixu Mountain...

After we came out, we wandered around the ancient city with the navigation, and found the Zhengding Four Pagodas (Chengling Pagoda of Linji Temple, Hua Pagoda of Guanghui Temple, Sumeru Pagoda of Kaiyuan Temple, Lingxiao Pagoda of Tianning Temple), and then went to Rongguo Mansion and Ning Rong Street, but I didn’t go in... Later, I found out that there was a free shuttle battery car, so we went to the former residence of Zhao Zilong in Changshan. The whole city feels very quiet, which is very suitable for that kind of slow life.

Catch up with the last battery car and return to the main gate of Zhengding Ancient City. Night began to fall. When we walked to the city wall, we just saw the sunset. Take the time to take a few photos!

You can go up the city wall, but unlike the one in Xi’an, there are bicycles for rent, so you can only walk by yourself. After walking for a whole day, I don’t want to go. The lighting ceremony, taking pictures, taking the tourist line back to Beisong Station of the subway, finding a restaurant to eat and then going back to the hotel...

After returning to Greater Guangzhou, I have been giving Amway Zhengding Ancient City to my friends! It's really that the wife is so comfortable, the whole city is very quiet, and the business atmosphere is not strong at all, staying there, I really don't want to leave...

 

Day 3 Shijiazhuang→Luoyang

I didn’t have any plans in the morning, so I went for a stroll nearby. I went to Mixc. It seemed to be a newly opened shopping mall. It felt relatively high-end. I went shopping and ate, but there was nothing delicious. I wanted to eat a tea restaurant, but it turned out to be worse than in Guangzhou. Expensive, forget it, buy strawberries and go back to the snack street to eat donkey meat fire, it's really delicious!

The high-speed train goes to Luoyang at 16:38 in the afternoon. I can't buy a direct train during the Spring Festival travel, so I can only transfer in Zhengzhou. Shijiazhuang high-speed rail station is much more convenient than the airport, at least there is a direct subway.

After arriving in Luoyang, it's amazing that it doesn't cost money to take the bus! The two of us were still bewildered, but the driver asked us to click the card on the side. We got in the car and searched the news. It turned out that the government benefited the people. In order to reduce the traffic pressure of commuting, the bus is free during commuting hours! Hahaha, I just remember that when the bus was free for the Guangzhou Asian Games, I couldn’t even get on the bus... The subway is being built near where we live, and the road is not easy to walk, so I put down my luggage and went to the nearby snack street , Hahaha, the first thing for Guangzhou people to do at their destination is to eat and eat, and go to bed early to welcome the next day's itinerary

Day 4 Luoyang

The stay in Luoyang is not too long, only this day is complete, and the scenic spots are relatively far away, so I reported a day trip to Shaolin Temple and Longmen Grottoes.

The first stop is Shaolin Temple, the mountain road with nine bends and eighteen bends, here comes the apprenticeship! Learn a real skill well, and prepare to go to Mount Hua to discuss swords. In fact, Shaolin Temple is not very big, because it is with a group, so it is a pity that we did not go to Songshan Mountain. But there are really no "relatives" for taking pictures, and there is no need to line up, which is awesome. My family went there on summer vacation, the same route, with a tour group, a lot of people...

The second stop is Longmen Grottoes, wow, walking along the river, looking at some stone statues up and down, from the Northern Wei Dynasty to the Fengxian Temple of Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty, it is so shocking! It's a pity that the heads of many Buddha statues have been stolen, which is too much. The stone statues are all colorful, but with the passage of time and changes in the climate and environment, many colors have lost. From the shape and scale of different Buddha statues, it can be seen that people's aesthetics and carving techniques were different at that time, which really provided a lot of historical facts for the study of Chinese history. Fortunately, I followed the tour group, without explanation, and it was difficult for me to understand.

After returning from the Longmen Grottoes, the car stopped at Lijingmen, and started eating again. I bought tickets for the Mingtang of Heaven in the evening. Without turning over the soup, we tasted China on the tip of our tongue. We ordered the one with the most ingredients. I personally think it is quite average, not as delicious as the accompanying cake. All the way along Lijing Gate, there is a section of snack street, which is similar to the usual snack street, with barbecues, drinks and the like, which do not have obvious Luoyang characteristics.

The Mingtang of Heaven, the lights were already on when we arrived, and it was rebuilt on the original site. When I went to pick up the tickets, I saw the performance schedule. We went at night, and there are only two performances left. Those who are interested can check it first. The Mingtang we went to first, wow, magnificent! It can be seen how prosperous the period of Emperor Wu was. Sure enough, China in the Tang Dynasty was the most powerful. Mingtang is the main hall of Ziwei Palace in Luoyang City, where some halls are held, and Heaven is a building related to Buddhism. It can be seen that Wu Zetian still believed in Buddhism, and built a big Fengxian Temple in the grottoes, and built a paradise. It's a pity that there was a fire in heaven that year, and it accidentally hit the Mingtang next to it. There is an exhibition hall on the first floor of the Mingtang, where you can see the big pillar pit of the Mingtang in the Tang Dynasty. There are also some deeds of Emperor Wu's period, and there is a sand table of Luoyang City in Tang Dynasty, which mainly shows the prosperity of Tang Dynasty. For those who like history, it is really worth going. Paradise is not a good place to visit, but it is too high, seven floors, and for Buddhism, I prefer the history displayed in the Mingtang exhibition hall. We went a little late, and it closed before we finished watching....

Day 5 Luoyang→Huashan

I only set off in the afternoon and walked around Luoyang in the morning. I saw a Tianzijialiu Museum nearby. I really learned a lot. There are three doctors, two scholars, and one commoner." I really came to Luoyang for a trip to Xi'an before I realized how uncouth I am.

At noon, I ordered a small stewed noodle and a large plate of chicken. We couldn’t finish it. We didn’t know that the large plate of chicken would be served with noodles. We couldn’t do anything. We really couldn’t order it according to the portion in Guangzhou. The ones in the north Portions are much more than ours....

The first and last attractions in every city are definitely supermarkets, hahaha, no way, I love supermarkets since I was a child. Lao Wang can't buy Dukang, the one he wants is not available, and needs to be transferred, but our high-speed train in the afternoon is about to leave, so there is no way. I bought a lot of strawberries, which are really cheap, fresh, delicious and big. I can really eat strawberries until I vomit on this trip. However, other fruits are relatively expensive in comparison. Shatangju costs 10 yuan per catty, and Guangzhou costs 10 yuan per catty... For the time being, I found that only strawberries have an advantage.

Take the bus back to Longmen Station. This is the first time we paid for the bus in Luoyang. Let’s come to Huashan!

There are two dedicated bus lines at Huashan North Station, which go to Huashan Scenic Area, free of charge, so our hotel is located along the bus line, hahaha.

Put down your luggage, there is a restaurant behind the hotel, can I say that there is only one, the hotel staff told us to go there early, otherwise it will close at 9 o'clock, I can't imagine the concept of a restaurant closing at 9 o'clock..... Definitely recommend [Our Yard], 30 per person! The food is super good, cheap and plentiful, and there is free millet porridge, which scares us, and we can't finish it at the level of 30 per person. So after going down the mountain the next day, I rubbed here again, hahaha.

Day 6 Huashan

The night before, I made an appointment with the travel agency (I think it should be private) at the hotel. We will be sent to Huashan Mountain at 9 o’clock, and we will go west and west for a luxury tour. It's a ticket for the off-season, but the North Peak cableway is overhauled...you can only go west and west.

Take a tourist photo in the panorama, hahaha

Taihua Shengjing! The stairs are miserable... Why is it so high, it seems that it is not an easy task to go to Huashan to discuss swords.

The Xifeng cableway basically does not need to queue up, and there are not many people. I think it is worth it. It is really like riding a roller coaster. It really is "the most dangerous mountain in the world". Going to Xifeng, can I say that my legs are weak, it's terrible, and then the fence is so short and the wind is so strong, I'm afraid that I will be blown off. Maybe they all go west and west, and Xifeng has the most people. It was hard to find [Huashan Lunjian], and it took a long time to queue up to get a picture. The quality is problematic. Many people don’t line up and just plug in. It’s hard to imagine how it will be during the peak season. .

We retreated when there were too many people, and went to Nanfeng. Halfway there, it began to snow. It was really very small, and the people of Guangzhou started to go crazy. Hahaha, the number of times I have seen snow can be counted on one hand After that, it still snowed on Huashan Mountain. In fact, there is at least one [Huashan Lunjian] on each peak. There is really no need to squeeze together. The South Peak, East Peak, and Middle Peak we went to later did not take pictures...just take pictures casually, the scenery is better.

When Zhongfeng came out, there was a [One Hand Holding the Sky], come on, take one.

The road from Zhongfeng to Xifeng was blocked, and I went back in a circle. I stayed in Huashan for 5 hours, hungry and cold, and had to leave.

I didn’t go to the North Peak this time, and I had to turn back after I got there, so I didn’t go. Since ancient times, Huashan has walked up from the North Peak. I don’t have such perseverance, hahahaha.

The most mistaken thing to go to Huashan is not to bring lazy food. The things on the mountain are quite expensive. After all, it is not easy to transport up the mountain, which is understandable. Seeing other people eating lazy hot pot, it is steaming hot, I am really envious. We just brought some chocolate pie, and strawberries. Eating strawberries on the mountain will freeze until your teeth are about to fall out.

After going down the mountain, I took the tourist bus back to the hotel. I ate and drank enough in the courtyard of our house where the average per capita is 30, and then went to Xi'an. I miss Xi'an!

The high-speed train can arrive in half an hour. It’s too cold to wait for the train. Lao Wang, are you in the Spring Festival travel rush?

There is a subway from Xi'an High-speed Railway Station to the Bell Tower. I chose to live near the Bell Tower because I saw that there is an Airport Express there, and I wanted to go back to Greater Guangzhou before I started playing.

Xi'an at night, the bell tower with lights! super beautiful

Day 7 Xi'an

On the first day in Xi'an, Shaanxi History Museum, book tickets on the official website two weeks in advance, otherwise the queue will be too long, and you may not be able to get the tickets. It's rare to come here, so I must see the murals together, 300 yuan, including the 30 yuan Hejiacun Datang Relics Exhibition, and the most important thing! No need to queue, if you are really interested, just buy 300 directly, it is completely different from what you saw in the national treasure!

I originally wanted to invite a commentator, but many people were waiting. I didn't know when to wait, so I rented a commentary machine and listened to it with some tour guides. Such a large museum is really difficult to understand without an explanation. It's so boring to watch flowers on horseback.

Chang'an, the ancient capital of the thirteen dynasties, started from the apes, the bronze wares of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Eastern Empire-the terracotta warriors of the Qin Dynasty, the majesty of the Han Dynasty, and finally the prosperous Tang Dynasty! At the beginning, it was still crowded with people, and I was posted on the display cabinet. The more people went to the exhibition hall at the back, the fewer people there were. The three treasures mentioned in the National Treasure, Du Hufu, the silver sachet with grape flower and bird patterns, and the mural of Prince Yide's tomb "The Picture of Guards of Honor in the Quelou", the third treasure is really when you see it on National Treasure TV. It is really a completely different feeling from what you actually saw standing in a simulated tomb passage, that kind of grandeur! It is forbidden to take pictures in the mural hall, and the murals will only be lit when you walk in, in order to protect cultural relics. There are really too many treasures inside, and the mobile phone can't see them, so I can only try my best to remember them with my eyes.

The Shaanxi History Museum is relatively close to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. On the way past, Zhangji Roujiamo on Ziwu Road. The Roujiamo in this store is super delicious! After returning to Guangzhou, I couldn't find that taste anymore. After eating the roujiamo, go to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. It is the Big Wild Goose Pagoda built by Master Xuanzang in order to preserve the Buddhist scriptures and statues brought back to Chang'an by the Silk Road from Tianzhu. When I saw it at the time, I felt that the tower was crooked. Later, when I listened to the explanation, it was confirmed that it was really crooked, but it would not fall down. Its foundation, built a giant tumbler, this is wisdom!

The Big Wild Goose Pagoda we climbed, the stairs are really narrow, just happened to meet the school tour group, those children were running around, it was really scary. From the window of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, you can see the panorama of Chang'an's southeast, northwest. It's full of Buddha statues and stuff, uh... I'm not interested. Behind the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is Xuanzang Sanzang Temple, which shows the story of how he was born, went to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures, and how he spread Buddhism until he finally passed away. Follow the guide and listen to the whole story. (It feels like the whole journey is just listening to the commentary)

In the evening, I went back to the Bell Tower to look for something to eat. I ate the famous gourd chicken in the local area. Then I continued to wander around some small alleys. I always wanted to buy fresh milk, but there was nothing I wanted to drink... and there was no familiar 7-11 convenience. shop.

Day 8 Xi'an

This day I arranged to go to the Terracotta Warriors and Horses and Huaqing Palace. It was a decisive one-day trip. It was too far away and it was not easy to go.

The first stop, Huaqing Palace, to be honest, there is really nothing to see, just look at the hot spring where Yang Guifei soaked, and look at the bullet holes left by the Xi'an Incident. It doesn't feel like much.

The second stop, terracotta warriors and horses, one ticket goes through two gates (be sure to keep the ticket well, if you lose it, you won’t be able to get in, if you have to make up the ticket... I will lose it, Lao Wang won’t let me in), terracotta warriors and horses, It is a must to go to Xi'an. Every servant has a different demeanor, and the height and weight are all made according to the ratio of 1:1. Although Qin Shihuang was very tyrannical, his achievements cannot be obliterated. The Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang looks like a pile of dirt from a distance, and a pile of dirt from a close look. The current technology should still be quite difficult to develop. After all, after development, it needs to be protected immediately. Like terracotta warriors and horses, they are colorful when they are opened, but they oxidize when they come into contact with the air.

The smashing bowl that was very popular on Douyin before, I experienced it here, and it was given by the tour group. The one on Douyin should be in Yongxingfang.

In the evening, we chose to get off at Yongxingfang, Xinxing Internet celebrity spot, which is the commercial street in the courtyard of the ancient building. It is still very old-fashioned, so let's eat. Seeing some exquisite dim sum, how can I be willing to eat it. I ate mutton steamed buns, uh...it's really not very tasty.

Day 9 Xi'an

This day is definitely a day for Lao Wang to collapse. He walked a total of 38,977 steps on this day

Go out after brunch in the morning. It is recommended to buy a package ticket for the Bell Tower and Drum Tower, because you have to go anyway. There must be a tripod bell in the bell tower, but that bell is not from the Ming Dynasty, it has been replaced. The reliefs on the doors and windows of the bell tower are stories one by one, which are easily overlooked, and they are all below. The exhibits inside are all the history of the Bell Tower and Drum Tower. Just in time for the fast Spring Festival, the theme of celebrating the Chinese New Year in Xi'an is all the customs of the Chinese New Year.

Drum Tower, there are drums for the 24 solar terms in a year, the Bell Tower and Drum Tower can face each other, very close.

Behind the Drum Tower is Huimin Street, a place to eat and eat. The soup dumplings in Jiasan Baozi shop are good, Xiaogui, Lao Wang specially bought his family's spicy and spicy dumplings. After eating, go to the city wall of Xi'an and ride a bicycle!

That night happened to be the first day when the lanterns started, and they could be seen in the morning. We walked around the city wall for almost 2 hours, and saw a lot of people walking, but most of them would turn back after walking a little bit, after all, it was almost 14km. It’s also the first time I’ve stepped on a car so far... I’m sure I’ll be sunburned in the summer

After the city wall came down, I went to the Datang Paradise, bought tickets for the evening, and watched the lanterns. There are so many young ladies in Hanfu, look so good! When I returned to Greater Guangzhou, I immediately bought a set. The Ziyun Building is really big, but you can't go in....It looks super beautiful from the outside, and you can really feel the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. There are all kinds of lanterns, and there are many young ladies in Hanfu. It really seems to have traveled back to the Tang Dynasty, this prosperous age!

When I came out, I went to Datang Everbright City. There were so many people. At that time, I didn’t have the famous lady tumbler. Starting from Tang Taizong, to Wu Zetian, and finally Tang Xuanzong, the statues one by one show the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, but there are really too many people. When I left, I waited for N for a long time. The bus can't wait... ...

Day 10 Xi'an→Guangzhou

It's the last day in Xi'an, I'm so sad, I'm going back to Guangzhou to start moving bricks again. In the morning, I went to the market to eat Hu spicy soup. Lao Wang also bought 4 steamed buns for 1 yuan. Is it such a cheap breakfast now... On the last day, I went to Chicony Supermarket to buy special products. Congratulations to Lao Wang for finally buying the Xifeng wine that he has been longing for. If you can’t buy Dukang, Xifeng is fine. After having a meal, I went back to the hotel to pack my things, and went to the airport where there was an airport express line at the clock tower.

China Eastern Airlines is more than an hour late, so why don't I buy China Southern Airlines that is an hour late...
