    "It is worth going. The lights are very beautiful during the New Year. There is a lake in the Yuanwang Building or what building. There is a music spraying performance at night. You must hide from a distance to see, otherwise the water mist will wet clothes and hair with the wind. Nothing else to pay attention to. It is recommended to buy a shuttle bus in the park, there are several stations in a circle."

    "Teacher Yang is really professional, ancient coins, tiles, very thorough. I discussed the orthodoxy of the three countries with the teacher and had a little disagreement. After talking too much, the teacher explained overtime and talked for more than 4 hours. It was great! In Shaanxi Libo, you must find a professional teacher to explain, otherwise send you a sentence "no come to Shaanxi Libo, equal to no come to Xi'an; no professional explanation, equal to no come to Shaanxi Libo"."

    "If you are not driving by yourself, it is recommended to report a group. There are meeting points at multiple points in Luoyang City. If you count the ticket cable car traffic, in fact, the group is more cost-effective. Some scenic spots are worth a visit. The first cable car is a must. This money can't save the second journey. You can't sit on the second journey. Good physical strength. I have walked around and saw more scenery. The trekking poles are bought on the mountain. When the tour guide goes to the entrance of the scenic spot to change tickets, there will be people selling various items on the car. The trekking pole is 30 yuan. The first cable car is 5 yuan. After the first cable car is down, there may be a difference in 5 yuan. But there is really no need to do wrong. The money for buying a set of hiking items in the big head car is not as good as taking the cable car escalator throughout the whole journey. The price of things in the scenic area is definitely more expensive than the outside, but it is acceptable (5 yuan of mineral water, 12 instant noodles, 20 pieces of noodles at this level) I took the first cable car up and down. Everything else was about 5 hours after walking to the top of the mountain. The scenic spot is worth a visit without excessive force."

    "Although only the tiles were displayed, it opened my different insights into calligraphy and made me re-understand the historical significance of inscriptions. Part of the study of history is a simple book, part of the books written by previous people, and part of the inscriptions. In addition to inscriptions on low, they can be inscribed anywhere, on the clock, on the stone statue. Inscriptions have studied different meanings in different places. The reason for being listed as a national cultural relics is that the text on the inscription confirms the historical facts, which is historical evidence. We went to see the inscription alone. We didn't know anything. We saw it, but with the explanation, we could really achieve meaningful gains. On the fourth day of my trip to Xi'an, there were not many interpreters and there were not many. The things explained were indeed uneven. Some of the presenters spoke very quickly and very little, as if to deal with the task. Some interpreters are really good, I am very willing to talk more about it, I really like this experience, this time I chose the scenic boutique speech, I recommend everyone to choose him, this time for an hour, but told us an hour and a half. Everyone should also pay attention to the narrator on the Terracotta Warriors and Horses. It makes me experience very bad. I feel that I am a salesman. If I talk about a little history, I will talk about some Lantianyu selling goods and some performances selling tickets! It seems that I spend money to listen to advertisements. The more famous attractions, the more serious the slaughter phenomenon! Since it is an explanation service, you should talk about things related to the attractions. Don't talk about these, the narrator of the inscription museum is really good, everyone who comes to a place to encounter an unpleasant thing, don't be partial, there is still a good"
