The night view is beautiful, but it is recommended to go there during the day. There are not many people there at night, so just look at it from a distance. The lights are a little bit like the Yellow Crane Tower.

The scenery is really nice. Although it is still under construction, you can still go and see the glass bridge, glass plank road and glass slide. The service staff are very nice. The only tiring thing is that you have to climb the mountain.

During the National Day holiday, it was very crowded, but the tour guides were very professional and took us to see everything! It's very convenient to get to the Terracotta Warriors from Xi'an now. I recommend taking the Xi'an Metro Line 9 to the end and then taking a taxi for about 10 yuan. I also recommend staying at a nearby guesthouse so you can go to the museum early in the morning.

I went there in the summer. There were blue fields and white clouds, and wild flowers were everywhere, as tall as a person. Lying in the tent, I looked at the stars at night, which were especially bright and close. It was really unforgettable. There were scenery everywhere, and it was a paradise for photographers. I have lived in the city for a long time, and I didn't expect there is such a relaxing place!
