It's halfway through the May Day holiday, but I guess many people want to go out to play but haven't made plans yet, so you must need the following strategy!
You don't have to go out for holidays, but you can play, visit and take photos in the city. The first choice is of course the Xi 'an City Wall. Different routes of city fairs are coming. Let's start quickly while the time is right!
As a native of Xi 'an, I'm all too familiar with the city wall, such as singing performances at the root of the city wall, and bars and pubs of all sizes. I've been there too many times, but do you know there are many hidden games in the city wall?
The different ways of playing, such as the emergence of treasures, the superb art gallery and the beautiful performance of punching cards at night, will definitely make you shout, "Xi 'an City Wall, why don't I know you?"

Hi, play in the old food market
Xi 'an City Wall has opened a new gate. You don't know it yet. The new Dengchengkou is located inside Jianguomen, next to the space capsule of the old food market. The opening of this Dengchengkou provides us with a more convenient route to play on the city wall.
You can not only feel the cultural history of the ancient city on the city wall, but also appreciate the unique fireworks under the city wall. Besides, during the May Day holiday, there are many wonderful activities waiting for you in the old food market ~
The Black Pineapple Market in the old food market
The youth art life festival, open-air movies, music folk songs, artistic handicrafts and so on, which is deeply loved by everyone, you.
Acrobatic performance of soldiers' battle flags
You can see the acrobatic art performance in the Spring Festival Evening in the old food market. The extremely difficult movements shock your eyes. You must go and see it!
Xi' an City Wall Warriors in shining armor parade
Here you can also see the scene of Warriors in shining armor patrolling the old food market, which really seems to have crossed into ancient times and witnessed the pictures of ancient soldiers patrolling the streets with their own eyes.
In addition, there are a series of activities, such as the intangible cultural market of the old food market, the Lotus Wake-up SECTION project of the old food market, the Shudao Super Vegetable Exhibition, and even the Yuan Universe disco concert in the old food market. Let's move quickly!

Cycling on the city wall
After going up from Jianguomen, you can walk along the city wall and enjoy the surrounding scenery, and the red lanterns hung high are also excellent framing materials.
As an ancient city wall building with the longest history, the largest scale and the most complete preservation in China, riding a bicycle on the wall of Xi 'an will bring you different experiences ~
Remember to have three or five friends when you come, and you can take pictures of everyone riding together, which will be more energetic than taking pictures of one person.
There are four gates at the bicycle rental point. Remember to ask the return time when renting, because different gates will have different times.
It should also be noted that there will be more people on May Day, so you should pay attention to safety when riding, and then do a good job of sun protection to avoid sunburn.

Punch-in Photo Holy Land
This intricate antique building has become a necessary place to take photos on the upper city wall. Remember this position in the picture, whether you are taking photos of the building or taking photos with the building, you will take photos very well.
Try not to wear dark clothes when you go, or you will blend in with the background. The best time to take pictures is in the evening, when all the lights are on, it seems to have a feeling of "Hongya Cave in Xi 'an".

Changyou Art Museum
In most people's eyes, the city wall bears a lot of China history and culture, so it is ancient and solemn, but many people don't know that there are actually art museums with different styles on the city wall.
The perfect fusion of the ancient and the modern has collided with the artworks representing the culture of Xi 'an city wall, and witnessed the changes of national culture and times.

Armor Art Museum
All kinds of armors displayed in the museum are based on historical materials such as murals, pottery figurines and ancient books in the Tang Dynasty, so the recovered armors are very rigorous and exquisite in their production process and technology, which shows us exquisiteness.
If the time is right, I will occasionally meet the Golden Guards patrolling the city and immerse myself in the daily drills of ancient soldiers.

Fan Yanyan Art Center
Here, you can see the highly artistic presentation of silk. Silk products based on history and culture are like being given life. Through one work after another, it seems that you really hear the camel bells on the winding ancient road.
Fan Yanyan, an artist, perfectly combines China culture with silk, presenting a variety of exquisite cultural and creative products, and also showing the rich and colorful culture of China with a long history.

"Kam Ash Pile" is a kind of art made up of various ancient books, calligraphy and painting. A small piece of rice paper shows not only artistic creation, but also the cultural epitome of the ancient capital of the 13th Dynasty.
Creating "Kam Hui Dui" requires not only certain aesthetic skills, but also profound cultural connotations. It is extremely difficult to create, but it is also deeply loved by everyone, and many tourists will take photos here as a souvenir.
If you have any friends who are interested in "Golden Ash Heap", it is suggested that you can wear Hanfu when you go, so that you can not only immerse yourself in the "Golden Ash Heap" culture, but also take a group of unique ancient photos.

When you come to the city wall, you always leave with some gains, so visit these art galleries, trace back the history of Xi 'an city wall and feel the humanistic atmosphere of the ancient capital of the 13th Dynasty.

Watch the performance of Dream of Chang 'an
In the evening, you can enjoy the newly upgraded version of Dream of Chang 'an-Welcome Ceremony of Datang in the Cultural and Etiquette Square at the south gate of Xi 'an City Wall and feel the grandeur of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
The newly upgraded Dream of Chang 'an has more exquisite costumes and more shocking visual effects. The trumpets are sounded, the prelude is opened, the music is dancing, the lights and shadows intersect, and the guests from all over the world are welcomed into Chang 'an with the Tang Dynasty as a grand ceremony.
