[China, Xi'an Shoinmon Gate] A place where the atmosphere and art of the ancient capital live on: A journey to experience history and culture at Shoinmon Gate!

Among the many tourist spots in Xi'an, the one that particularly captured my heart was "Shuyuanmen". Located close to the South Gate (Yongning Gate), this street strongly retains the image of the old Chang'an, and is a place like a "living museum" with a row of calligraphy, painting and antique shops. 💖Why is Shuyuanmen "recommended"? Three charms! ・The atmosphere of an ancient city that makes you feel like you've traveled back in time As soon as you step inside, you'll feel as if you've traveled back in time to the Tang Dynasty. The old tiled roof buildings, the cobblestone roads, and the lanterns that decorate the streets...no matter where you look, you'll see picturesque scenery. ・A treasure trove of art and culture As the name Shuyuanmen suggests, this is a row of shops selling calligraphy, paintings, and antiques. You'll never get bored just looking at the brushes, ink, seals, hanging scrolls, and more. You can actually see artisans at work and restore antiques. It's also a great place to pick up souvenirs, and you can get high-quality calligraphy and crafts. ・Local life and vitality The feature of Shoinmen is that it is used daily not only by tourists but also by local Xi'an people. Children attending calligraphy classes and elderly people having tea in teahouses... you can see that this place is not just a tourist spot, but is deeply rooted in the lives and culture of the people of Xi'an. 📍Access: A short walk from the South Gate (Yongning Gate). You can also walk from the "Yongning Gate" station on Xi'an Metro Line 2. Shoinmen is a truly "recommended" spot where the history, culture, and art of Xi'an are condensed. It was a place full of mysterious charm, where you could feel the tranquility of the ancient capital in the midst of the bustle. If you visit Xi'an, be sure to visit Shoinmen and feel the breath of good old China. It will surely become an unforgettable memory of your trip. #China #Trip to China #Tourism in China #Go to China #Chinese food #Tourism in China #Trip to China #Travel in China #Travelogue of China #Xi'an #Tourism in Xi'an #Ancient capital #Cultural experience #Calligraphy #Solo travel #Solo female traveller #Absolutely free travel
