Xi'an, a city bombarded with questions about photography spots, has left me absolutely thrilled after sharing on Moments

Xi'an, as the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties, I have visited it back and forth 5 times. It truly is a city that's great for food, photography, and sightseeing❤️ This time I went on a 3-day spree in Xi'an again. - I've compiled 1⃣️8⃣️ exceptional photography spots, just follow this guide and you're set‼️ - 1⃣️Da Ci'en Temple Ruins Park Free park, where you can get a shot of the Buddha statue and the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in the same frame. 2⃣️Xi'an City Wall (Yongning Gate) Navigate to 'Yongning Gate', the west side of the city wall, beautiful both day & night. 3⃣️Kaiyuan Shopping Mall 5th floor (Drum Tower branch) From here you can overlook the Drum Tower, the night view is stunning. 4⃣️Yongning Gate Go upstairs at the ticket office and you can photograph the Drum Tower right in front. 5⃣️Guangren Temple Walk along the red wall on the left to find the photogenic spot. 6⃣️Qinglong Temple A relatively less popular place, but it has the charm of the Tang Dynasty's heyday. 7⃣️Joy City Rooftop A great spot to shoot the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, which lights up at night. 8⃣️Zipei Collection Located in the Muslim Quarter, go right when it opens at 9 am, or it'll get crowded. 9⃣️Xiangzi Temple Street Has various attractive shops, this one really stands out in photos. 1⃣️0⃣️Drum Tower Standing on the south side of the road opposite, you can capture the complete ancient tower. 1⃣️1⃣️Big Wild Goose Pagoda South Square Walk around clockwise, there are many spots to frame with the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. 1⃣️2⃣️Erhui Lane Hotpot Restaurant (Bell Tower branch) The entrance has a 'Chang'an' sign. 1⃣️3⃣️La Dou La Hotpot (Bell Tower branch) The entrance has a 'Xi'an' sign. 1⃣️4⃣️Luli Hanfu The entrance has a 'Chang'an' sign. 1⃣️5⃣️Big Wild Goose Pagoda South Square (South Entrance) 1⃣️6⃣️Yongning Gate (near the exit) 1⃣️7⃣️Yongning Gate (near the exit) 1⃣️8⃣️Yongning Gate (Xi'an City Wall night view) - 🚶 'My 3-day 2-night itinerary' Day1: Big Wild Goose Pagoda—Da Ci'en Temple—Joy City—Bell Tower Day2: Guangren Temple—Shuyuanmen—Yongning Gate City Wall Day3: Muslim Quarter—Qinglong Temple—Xiangzi Temple Street - 🍜 'Food Guide' Hulatang, mutton paomo and such are tourist-oriented, just give them a try. Locals often go to Sajinqiao and Xiangzi Temple Street. Sajinqiao has a variety of snacks and is more down-to-earth, while Xiangzi Temple Street has many coffee shops and is more fashionable and modern, perfect for checking in. - Follow this detailed guide and you can't go wrong. If you want to avoid the crowds, you can also skip the holidays and travel off-peak for a better photo experience.
