Travel notes from Xi'an.

📍Famous attractions are best visited before 9:30 am to avoid crowds. 📍Each attraction has photographers offering services for around 10 yuan per photo and 300 yuan for a follow-up shoot. No more worries about not getting beautiful photos! 📍Xi'an's noodles are delicious, chewy and flavorful (didn't eat much this time, will definitely go back for more next time). 📍When visiting the Great Ci'en Temple, it's highly recommended to hire a tour guide. Otherwise, you might think that Master Xuanzang is exactly like the character in Journey to the West. The Vajra is said to be very powerful. If you believe in it, you can buy one. 📍For costume photography, a photographer charging around 300 yuan is sufficient. You can also go outside the city wall for outdoor scenes. I searched around and finally found a photographer who charged 1390 yuan for one outdoor and one indoor set, but without access to the city wall. The final photos were just average, so it was a lesson learned.
