Xi'an Museum — Attraction in Xi'an

A Thoughtful and Flexible Museum Visit I visited the museum during the summer holidays, so it was quite crowded with local tourists. It wasn’t as peaceful as other museums I’ve been to, but the lively atmosphere showed how much people appreciated the exhibits—especially local visitors, who seem to really enjoy museums. One thing I loved was the option to rent an audio guide (30). As an introvert, it made the visit so much more comfortable. I could explore at my own pace, take extra time at displays that interested me, or skip parts that didn’t. No need to follow a group or feel rushed—just a personal and relaxing experience. There’s also a lovely café in the garden, perfect for enjoying some tea and a peaceful break surrounded by greenery. Near the entrance, a row of local hawkers sells traditional street food. If your culture or dietary preferences allow, I highly recommend trying some—it's a fun and flavorful part of the visit. Ticket -0 (...

The Small Wild Goose Pagoda is really cool and dripping with history, making it a must-see in Xi'an, and while you're there, you absolutely need to stop in this museum. You...
