如果你正在计划一次中国旅行,那么西安应该出现在你的计划中。
西安是陕西省的省会,也是中国最古老的城市之一。
历史上,有十三个朝代在这里建立都城,所以人们也喜欢称它为“十三朝古都”。
无论你喜欢历史、美食,还是只想拍一些好看的照片,西安都不会让你失望。
什么时候去最合适?
西安的春夏秋冬各有各的味道。
春天从三月到五月,秋天从九月到十一月,气温不冷不热,最适合出门闲逛和拍照。
夏天虽然比较热,但游客最多,活动也最丰富;
冬天游客相对少一些,如果想安安静静地感受这座古城,也是一个不错的选择。
怎么去西安?
西安的交通很方便。
你可以坐飞机到西安的机场,然后换乘地铁或机场大巴进入市区。
也可以坐高铁到西安北站,或者坐普通火车到西安站——西安站就在市中心,出来就是热闹的街景。
到了市内,地铁基本能带你到大部分景点。
你可以在支付宝或微信上开通乘车码,直接刷码上车。
不过,像兵马俑这样的地方离地铁站还有一段距离,打车过去会更省时间。
住在哪里最方便?
住在钟楼、大雁塔、南门、小寨、北大街、南稍门、大差市或五路口这些地铁站附近,坐车和吃饭都很方便。
你可以根据自己的预算选择酒店或者民宿,只要靠近地铁站,去哪里都不难。
那些不能错过的地方说到西安,很多人第一个想到的就是兵马俑。
兵马俑位于秦始皇帝陵博物院,被称为“世界第八大奇迹”。
一九七四年,一位农民在打井的时候偶然发现了这些陶俑,后来考古学家挖出了三个巨大的陪葬坑,里面有成千上万个和真人一样大小的士兵和战马陶俑,而且每个兵马俑的脸部表情都不一样,场面非常震撼。
如果你去参观,最好提前在网上订票,并且请一位讲解员,否则你看到的只是一排排泥人,很难理解背后的故事。
西安城墙是另一个必去的地方。
这座城墙建于明朝,也就是十四世纪,是中国现存规模最大、保存最完整的古代城墙。
你可以登上城墙散步、租一辆自行车骑行,或者乘坐电瓶车游览。
从高处往下看,古城内外的风景尽收眼底。
白天和晚上城墙会呈现出完全不同的美感,建议两个时间都去看看。
大雁塔是西安的文化地标之一。
它始建于唐代,公元六百五十二年,是现存最早、规模最大的唐代四方楼阁式砖塔。
这里曾是唐代高僧玄奘存放从印度取回的佛经的地方。
大雁塔前的广场很大,晚上有音乐喷泉表演,非常漂亮。
离它不远还有小雁塔,比大雁塔矮一些,游客也更少,环境更安静,适合慢慢走一走。
钟楼和鼓楼是两座明代建筑,位于西安市的正中心。
过去,人们用晨钟暮鼓来报时,现在它们成了西安最标志性的建筑。
傍晚时分去最好,你可以同时看到白天、日落和亮灯后的三种景色。
钟楼、鼓楼和回民街都离得很近,可以安排在一起游玩。
回民街是西安最有名的小吃街,这里有很多回民经营的小吃店。
肉夹馍、羊肉泡馍、凉皮、Biangbiang面、胡辣汤…
…
每一样都值得你尝一尝。
西安的美食绝对不能错过。
如果你对中国的历史、文化感兴趣,那一定不能错过陕西历史博物馆。
在这里,漫长的历史和精美的展品会让你直接看到中国古老的文化和历史,更了解这个城市、这个国家。
由于参观的人太多了,记得一定要提前几天预定门票。
行程安排如果你是第一次来西安,可以考虑四天三晚的安排。
第一天,去兵马俑和华清池,晚上看一场《长恨歌》演出。
第二天上午登上西安城墙,从南门上去最方便,之后参观碑林博物馆和书院门街区,下午去钟楼、鼓楼,晚上在回民街吃晚饭,饭后去小雁塔景区走一走。
第三天,先去陕西历史博物馆,然后去大雁塔及北广场,晚上留在大唐不夜城,那里有漂亮的灯光和表演。
第四天可以睡个懒觉,在市区逛逛你喜欢的地方,或者补上去之前没来得及去的景点,然后准备离开。
一些小提醒暑假和国庆是旅游高峰,一定要提前订好酒店和热门景点的门票。
陕西历史博物馆虽然是免费的,但非常难预约,最好提前几天就在网上预约好。
夏天的西安很热,出门一定要注意防晒。
去兵马俑的话,可以坐地铁九号线到“华清池”站,从C口出站后再打车过去,这样又方便又便宜。
所有景点都需要凭身份证购票进入,外国游客请记得携带护照。
无论去哪个历史景点,都建议请一位讲解员或者租一个讲解器,否则你可能会错过很多精彩的故事。
在钟楼、鼓楼和南门城墙上,晚上亮灯之后拍照特别好看,黄昏的时候过去,可以一次拍到白天和夜晚两种景象。
大雁塔广场的音乐喷泉表演也不要错过,那会是你在西安最难忘的记忆之一。
希望这份介绍能帮助你更好地计划西安之行。
祝你在西安玩得开心!
