Moving from Luoyang to Xi'an (formerly Chang'an).
I will be traveling from Luoyang to Xi'an by morning train.
I took a bus from the guesthouse to the train station, but I must have been a little sleepy, because I got on the wrong bus during a transfer, going in the opposite direction of the station. I should have checked which direction the arrow was pointing on the bus stop sign (indicating the direction of travel), just by looking at the bus number.
I often make mistakes like this when I'm tired, so I think I'm probably getting tired from this several-week-long trip. I don't really feel it, though. When I'm tired, I'm more likely to make mistakes in calculations, so I need to be careful about being overcharged.
I had breakfast at a KFC inside the train station, but it was a small portion and cost about 25 yuan (around 490 yen). It looks good in the picture, but it's small and not very delicious. The same breakfast set at KFC in Datong cost about 13 yuan (around 250 yen). It seems that prices are different between rural and urban areas, even within the same country. Also, the portion size seems to be smaller in Luoyang.
Then I entered the station and waited in the waiting room.
Eventually, even after the departure time, the ticket gate didn't open, so I was wondering what to do, when the display on the electronic board was showing something I couldn't understand, and people around me were starting to get a little restless.
Despite waiting near the ticket gate even after the departure time, the ticket gate suddenly opened a little after the scheduled departure time, so I boarded the train. I'm not sure what happened, but it seems like the train was delayed.
It is hard because the seat is stiff, but it is unavoidable because it is cheap.
And after nearly 6 hours, we arrived in Xi'an.
It is a quite impressive city.
There are many people.
And then I arrived at the guesthouse, but isn't this just a regular apartment?
Xi'an Ruyue Inn
Staying for 5 nights.
50 yuan (approximately 980 yen) per night for a dormitory room.
It feels more like a regular apartment with many bunk beds rather than a typical youth hostel.
It seems to be a decent place since it's listed on booking.com, but they only briefly checked my passport and didn't make a copy. Is that okay? Usually, they record visa numbers, etc.

Biang Biang Noodles (Dong Yi Lu Branch) - Biang Biang Noodles.
Today, it was raining, so I was relaxing in my room, but I couldn't not eat anything, so I went to a nearby restaurant to eat "biang biang noodles." "Biang biang noodles" seems to refer to a type of wide noodle that is common in this area of Shaanxi province, and this restaurant's name is literally "biang biang noodles."
I asked the hotel staff for a recommendation, and they told me about this place.
Something like plain hot water appears.
The main dish, the Biang Biang noodles, are like this.
There were about three choices for Biang Biang noodles, but when I chose the one that cost 12 yuan (about 235 yen), this is what I got.
It was okay.
I heard that Xi'an is famous for its noodles, but
overall, the food at Datong was more delicious.
Datong's vinegar has a unique flavor, and that seems to be the key to its taste.
And I went to a nearby department store, but this one is different and has very beautiful stores.
There's also a movie theater inside, and if it were cheaper, I might have gone to kill time during the rain, but it costs 90 yuan (1,800 yen) to 150 yuan (about 3,000 yen), so I didn't go. I didn't have anything I particularly wanted to see.
Despite the price, it's so crowded. And it's not just old people; there are a lot of young people.
It makes you think that even young people have money.
At night, I ate noodles at another ordinary restaurant and also had something that looked like a meat bun.
It was also delicious.
Noodles cost 9 yuan (approximately 190 yen), and one meat bun cost 1 yuan (approximately 19 yen).
The noodles are prepared with a performance that stretches them in front of the customers, and as expected, they are soft and chewy.
Because of this, the noodles are very thin and extremely long.
The meat buns have a natural feel and don't have the artificial, stimulating taste that some Japanese meat buns have.
If they are this light, they could probably be eaten as a substitute for rice.

Terracotta Army.
Today, the weather is nice, so I decided to go to the Terracotta Army of Qin Shi Huang.
First, I'm going to have a meal near my place.
Then, I got on a bus, got off, and transferred to a bus bound for the Terracotta Army.
Chinese buses can be searched for on Baido maps, which shows the route map, so transfers are not a problem.
Your current location can be easily seen on Baido maps, so you can immediately tell if you are approaching the transfer location.
In the past, just getting on a bus used to be a difficult task. Times have changed.
From a nearby bus stop, I got on a random bus and got off at a stop on the route that goes to the Terracotta Army. Then, I got on bus number 307 and headed for the Terracotta Army. The first bus I took didn't have a conductor, so you pay 1 yuan (about 19 yen) when you get on. However, bus number 307 has a conductor, and you pay the fare to the conductor after you get on, not when you get on. It costs 6 yuan (about 115 yen) and takes about an hour to arrive.
On the way, a large number of people got off at Huaqing Pool, so I made a mental note to check it out later.
However, Shanghai has good driving manners and few honking sounds, and Beijing is the same, with few honking sounds. Taiyuan also has good manners, and I thought China was surprisingly well-mannered, but when I came to Luoyang, there were a little more honking sounds, and when I came to Xi'an, there were even more honking sounds.
The more you go west, the more honking sounds there are.
In the developed cities on the east side, people are more polite and honking sounds have decreased, but perhaps in the rural areas in the west, people are still honking a lot. Probably it's better than it used to be.
Even though there are a lot of honking sounds, it's still better than India.
And then, I arrived at the Terracotta Army.
Here too, you can tell the direction using Baido maps, so you won't get lost.
Then, I paid the entrance fee of 150 yuan (about 2900 yen) and entered.
There were a few Japanese guides near the entrance who tried to recruit me, but of course I declined.
Then, I went inside.
I wondered if I would get lost, but I didn't.
There are halls 1, 2, and 3, and hall 1 is the largest, followed by hall 2, and hall 3 is the smallest.
I decided to go to hall 1 first, then hall 3, and finally hall 2.
When you see the actual thing with your eyes, it feels smaller.
The camera makes it look more detailed and amazing (laughs).
From here, it's Building No. 3.
From here, it's Building No. 2.
Next to Building No. 2, high-quality excavated artifacts were displayed.
Some of them are broken and scattered.
I entered a museum-like facility that is attached to the building.
And then, we will leave the Terracotta Army and move to the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor by a free shuttle.

We will move from the Terracotta Army to the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor by a free shuttle bus.
The Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor has not been excavated much, so it feels like just a small hill.
According to "Shiji" written by Sima Qian, there are spaces underground, including rivers of mercury, burial objects, and mechanisms to prevent theft, so it cannot be easily opened.
In any case, I walked around the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, but although two excavation sites are open to the public, it felt like very little excavation has been done.

Shaanxi History Museum.
Today is cloudy, so I decided to go to the museum.
It seems to be a museum of considerable size in Xi'an, so I decided to go to the Shaanxi History Museum.
I got on a bus and arrived at the museum, but there was a huge line.
The museum opens at 8:30, and it is now around 8:45, but there is already a line.
In the end, I waited for nearly an hour before finally obtaining a ticket.
It seems that China is also on holiday, so it's particularly crowded.
I heard that it's free if you have a passport, but the line I was in was apparently for the special exhibition tickets, so I bought that ticket (20 yuan, about 390 yen). I wondered if a separate ticket was needed for the permanent exhibition, but I was able to enter with just that ticket. It's a bit confusing.
Inside, it was extremely crowded.
It was full of people.
The crowding is unavoidable, but the exhibits are wonderful.
In the basement, there were also exhibits of murals excavated from the Taklamakan Desert region of the Silk Road.
I think it was from the Hotan Kingdom.
Is this an instrument that was excavated from a desert region?
And then, I also saw the special exhibition.
The special exhibition featured high-quality crafts, but unfortunately, photography was not allowed.
And then I left the museum.
It was lunchtime, so I had a meal nearby.
Noodles: 8 yuan (approximately 155 yen)
Twice-cooked pork: 26 yuan (approximately 510 yen)
Round, snack-like things: 2 yuan (approximately 39 yen)
The quantity was large, and I may have overeaten a little, but the taste was quite good.

After visiting the Shaanxi History Museum, I still had some time, so I decided to go to the nearby Big Wild Goose Pagoda.
It is said that the scriptures brought back from India by the monk Xuanzang are preserved there.
As I walked closer, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda came into view in the distance.

As I walked closer, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda came into view in the distance.

Kogantō.
Today is the last day of sightseeing in Xi'an, so I will visit some minor places.
First, I will go to Xiaoyan Tower.
Unlike yesterday (Sunday), there are almost no people here.
Was yesterday the end of the Golden Week in May?
With a passport, both the Xi'an Museum and Xiaoyan Tower are free.

Xi'an Museum.
After visiting the Xiaoyan Pagoda, I went to the Xi'an Museum, which is located within the same grounds.
Compared to museums in cities like Beijing and Shanghai, it is relatively small in size,
but the content is quite substantial, and the quality of the Buddhist statues is truly impressive, as one would expect from the ancient capital "Chang'an."

Seiryu-ji.
Next, I'm heading to Seiryu-ji Temple, but it's lunchtime, so I'm going to eat something like a Chunjang noodles bowl at a restaurant near Seiryu-ji Temple.
It's completely different from the picture that was posted in the store, and there's very little meat (laughs).

Daihō-ji Temple.
Next, I decided to go to Daikōzenji Temple, which is located in the town.
It seems that this temple is also an old temple of the Shingon sect.
Both Aoyaji Temple and this temple have a very different atmosphere from that of Shikoku in Japan.
It feels quite bright.

Einneung Gate (South Gate)
While traveling by bus, I passed by Yongning Gate (South Gate) of the Xi'an city wall.
I didn't have much time, so I couldn't go up.

Yōko-jō Memorial Museum.
I went to the Yōko-jō Memorial Museum, but it was closed. That's a shame.

Silk Road starting point, a group of characters.
At the end of today, I decided to go to the Shichu Shiryo (Silk Road) Starting Point Sculpture Park, which is located at the site of a gate that marked the beginning of the Silk Road.
When I took a bus to get there, I was surprised to find that there was a large stone statue there.
