First stop: Xi'an
Terracotta Warriors
If you come to Xi'an and don't see the terracotta warriors, it's like going to Beijing without going to the Great Wall.

The facial features of each terracotta warriors and horses here are different. If you look closely and understand the stories behind them, you will understand the richness here.

black spring reservoir
Who said that the northwest must be desolate, and the Black Spring Reservoir will subvert your perception.

Fourth stop: Zhangye
Zhangye Danxia National Geological Park
If you don't go to Zhangye, you don't know how beautiful the Danxia geology is.
There has never been a place where the elemental colors of nature can be used so vividly, just like God's paint plate, sprinkled on the hills of this mountain.

Going up with the trend, you can have a panoramic view of the vastness of the northwest.
The first pier of the Great Wall
The first pier of the Great Wall is the starting point of the ancient Great Wall and the beacon tower of the ancient Great Wall. Now there is only one mound left.

Xinjiang International Grand Bazaar
After how many people arrive in Urumqi, the first stop is to visit the International Grand Bazaar, eat Xinjiang delicacies, and experience the culture of the Uighurs.
It reproduces the prosperity of the ancient Silk Road, and I am reluctant to go here for a whole day.
