2026 Shaanxi Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in February)

This trip to Egypt completely changed my perception—turns out meeting a reliable guide makes the experience so much more enjoyable!!! . (Just like the Mu Mu who recently left an unforgettable impression on the Flower Youth group, my guide was just as amazing) . Honestly, I read a lot of travel tips before coming and saw many complaints about pitfalls. Two girls bravely exploring Egypt, we were quite nervous about this trip. We chose a Chinese-speaking guide with a try-it-out attitude. The result? Totally won over! I have to praise my Chinese guide properly!! . I specifically told the travel agency I wanted a guide fluent in Chinese and professional in history explanations. Luckily, I met a treasure of a guide!! Here comes the praise! He is truly a very reliable person!! . First! As a Chinese guide, her Chinese is impeccable. Better than many Egyptian Chinese guides I’ve seen online (some even have a Shaanxi accent, haha). But our guide’s pronunciation was clear, communication was completely smooth, and the Egyptian accent was very light and pleasant to listen to! She even used many Chinese internet jokes. For example, when explaining the history of the pyramids, she suddenly said, **“This kind of operation was pretty explosive even in ancient times.”** We three burst out laughing immediately, haha. . Second, he is really very attentive! Before the trip, we hesitated about going to the Khayamiya Market because we heard there were many scammers. But we wanted to capture that One Thousand and One Nights vibe. The guide prepared a price reference list for us in advance to help us bargain. She even said if we overpaid, she would help us get a refund! That gave us so much peace of mind!! Who understands, family! We came back with big bags full of souvenirs, prices so reasonable it made us want to cry, haha. . Also, the history explanations were super professional! We all love listening to guides, so we have high standards for professionalism! She explained things in more detail than the guides we researched beforehand, even telling stories about obscure temple reliefs thoroughly. There was a history graduate student in our group who couldn’t help but give a thumbs up. The recognition was unmatched! History-loving sisters, you can trust him for sure! . I sincerely want to recommend her to all sisters going to Egypt! Whether the travel experience is good or not really depends on the guide!! I wholeheartedly praise our guide. Choosing the right person is so important! 👋 .

If you’re planning to visit Huashan Mountain, one of the most famous (and challenging) mountains in China, here are some important things you should know before your trip: ⸻ 🎟️ Tickets (Foreigners) If you are a foreigner, you can only buy tickets in person at the ticket office. Online booking is not accepted for foreign passports, so make sure to arrive early, especially during peak season. ⸻ ⚠️ Famous Plank Walk (Cliff Walk) Bad news for solo travelers: To access the famous wooden plank walk, you must go with at least one other person — doing it completely alone is not allowed. A safety harness is mandatory. Also, during low season (winter), this section is usually closed due to snow and ice, as it becomes too dangerous. ⸻ ❄️ Visiting in Winter If you visit Huashan in winter, be prepared to slip and fall at least once or twice (it happened to me). Snow and ice are very common, so good shoes and caution are essential. ⸻ 💰 Prices (Seasonal) Prices vary depending on the season, so always check before going. As a general reference: • Entrance ticket • High season (March–November): around 180 RMB • Low season (December–February): around 100 RMB • Cable cars • North Peak cable car: approx 80 RMB one way • West Peak cable car: approx 120–140 RMB one way (cheaper in winter) • Internal shuttle bus: around 40 RMB round trip ⸻ 🍜 Food on the Mountain There is food available on the mountain, but options are limited and prices are higher. If possible, it’s better to bring your own snacks and water. ⸻ 🌅 West Cable Car & Sunset If you want to see a beautiful sunset, the West Peak cable car is usually preferred when going down. The views are amazing, but keep in mind that the return takes longer: about 20 minutes by cable car + 40 minutes by shuttle bus back to the main entrance. ⸻ ✨ Final tip: Huashan is absolutely worth it, but good planning makes a huge difference. Start early, check the weather, and choose the season wisely.

Today’s adventure brought me to Mount Huashan (华山) — one of China’s most dramatic and iconic mountains. I didn’t expect it to snow, but that made the entire hike even more magical! The peaks were wrapped in white, the steps were frosty, and the clouds felt so close. ❄️☁️ Even though the trails were a bit slippery, the views were absolutely worth every step. A winter hike here is challenging but unforgettable! 🥾 My Snowy Experience The moment the snow started falling, the whole mountain transformed into a winter wonderland. The stone steps, pine trees, and ridges all turned white. It felt calm, quiet, and stunning — like hiking through a painting. If you love winter vibes, this is a must-do! 📍 Address Mount Huashan Scenic Area, Huayin City, Shaanxi Province, China(1 hour from Xi’an) 🚆 How to Go From Xi’an: • Take the high-speed train from Xi’an North Railway Station → Huashan North Station (about 30–40 mins) • From the station, take the free shuttle bus or taxi straight to the Huashan Visitor Center Cable cars (optional): • West Peak Cable Car – fastest way to reach high peaks • North Peak Cable Car – suitable for descending 🎟️ How to Book Tickets • Entrance tickets can be booked directly on Trip.com or purchased at the Huashan Visitor Center • Cable car tickets and shuttle bus tickets are bought at the Visitor Center as well • Bring your passport for verification 🗓️ Best Time to Visit • Apr–Jun & Sep–Oct – ideal weather & clear views • Dec–Feb – winter scenery with snow ❄️ (beautiful but be ready for icy steps!) • Try to start early morning to avoid crowds #Tripcom #TripMoment #MountHuashan #Huashan #ChinaTravel #HikingAdventure #SnowHike #WinterTravel #Shaanxi #DayTrip

In Xi'an, it’s hard to find a hotel that doesn’t rely on imitation ancient eaves and dragon-phoenix reliefs to say “I am luxurious.” Until Galaxy Cloud Valley appeared—it quietly rewrites the rules with a 14,000㎡ spa center, hot spring rooms starting at 64㎡, and a whole new spatial language. What makes it different? 1. It doesn’t imitate “looks,” but creates a “space” The design team didn’t copy any historical symbols but extracted the profound, tranquil “field sense” of the ancient city. Walking into the lobby, light seeps through carefully calculated gaps, and the concrete walls have textures like landscape patterns. There is no Tang Dynasty here, but the breath of Chang’an is everywhere. 2. Water is not a facility, but the protagonist Most hotels treat pools and spas as amenities, hidden in basements or corners. But here, the water area is the absolute heart. The grand spa space is like a water palace, with light diffusing through mist, and the soaking pool area even features a light, gender-neutral co-bathing space, creating a relaxed atmosphere that completely refreshes the “hotel pool” experience. 3. Rooms are designed for “staying” The basic room type starts at 64㎡, not for numerical luxury, but to accommodate private hot springs, independent tea areas, and truly spacious living spaces. The concept is straightforward: a hotel should not just be a stopover for one night, but a “micro-vacation container” where people can settle in comfortably and slow down. 4. The way it dialogues with the city has changed It’s not located near the Bell Tower, but in Aerospace New City. This itself is a declaration: Xi'an’s luxury experience doesn’t have to always be anchored in historic scenic spots. It uses modern materials (metal, stone, light and shadow) and forward-looking formats (deep water wellness, community socializing) to have an elegant conversation with the city’s future. In short, Galaxy Cloud Valley may not have the “standard” luxurious lobby or glittering decorations you imagine, but it offers something more precious: a “heterogeneous space” where body and mind can completely calm down and gain energy in tranquility. If you’re tired of the monotonous five-star hotels, this might be the “different” answer you’ve been looking for in Xi'an.

Situated in Huayin City, Mount Hua Shan gained its world reputation from the natural vista of deep valleys and rugged cliffs. Its pathway is also a must-try experience as it winds its way 600 meters high to a narrow ledge on the rockface. 📍Shaanxi, China Hua Shan’s five peaks have their own charm, where East Peak is the best place to see the sunrise and South Peak has the highest altitude.

We continue our gastronomic travel in China with introduction of widely spread, well known and daily eaten dishes. Previous post was dedicated to the Guangdong Cantonese cuisine. For this time we will talk about typical North West dishes. Mian or noodles. It just sounds simple but in China you will meet the variety of this product and classification will be based on size and shape of noodles made of wheat flour. At the picture you can see so called mao xi , which named so because it is very thing and compared to the hair in its thickness. The soup itself is a masterpiece of culinary! The Chief put there one thousand different species! Another one dish originally come from North East 东北 region but was very warm excepted in the north west and even modified a little. Huang Men Ji 黄焖鸡 is a fried and braised chicken in the souse with special species like ginger, soy bean souse and oyster sauce. The must be included ingredients are potato and several vegetables you can pick up by your self before cooking. Boiled rise is a typical garnish. That was very beautiful and nice restaurant with authentic atmosphere and very creative decoration. Good option before Christmas as it is cold season and these dishes will warm your heart and support the eve atmosphere of comfort. Wanna come back there! #christmasmarket#romanticrestaurant#bestislandtraveltowns#hipsterbookstore#café

One thing that must be mentioned in Xi'an is the Hukou Waterfall. Many tourists who come to Xi'an ignore this attraction or feel that it takes too long and give up and spend their time on the commercialized Muslim Street instead.
