We arrive at our hotel with an approximately 1-hour flight from Guilin to Xian.. Xian city has 4 entrance gates. We enter through the north gate. The city is surrounded by 12 km and 12 m high walls.. To make hotel recommendations within this framework, the Ramada Bells Tower hotel is ideally located in the center of Xi’an, only a 10-minute walk from the Bell Tower and Drum Tower. can be considered as a suitable choice.. The hotel is also an 8-minute walk from the famous Muslim Street and there are many shopping spots and restaurants in the surrounding area.. Mehood Hotel, which is in the same location as an alternative to this hotel, is a nice option.. If you have a limited budget, you can consider the Mercure Xi’an on Renmin Square hotel, which is a 5-minute walk from Renmin Square as a budget hotel.. For other hotel options in Xian, you can log on to booking.com and make a reservation here.
There are two towers in the middle of the city.. One is the bell, the other is the drum tower (all Ming cities have it). Xian is a historical city that was the capital of the Tan Dynasty for 1100 years.. History oozes all around. The city, which has a history of 3100 years, is also the beginning of the Silk Road.
Our trip in Xian begins with the Muslim quarter . We pass through a very narrow street (where Muslim women sell their goods) and proceed to the entrance door of the mosque.. The roof over the door is very interesting. Roof, multi-level, with curved ends. Since the buildings are wood on stone, they were built this way so that the rain would not drip down and rot the wood.. There are dragon figures on the curved ends. The dragon represents the emperor’s protector and prevents evil spirits from coming in from the sky.. This mosque was built in the 700s, but its current form is 14.. century. The Muslim people (approximately 100 million) living in the Muslim quarter had to live in this region.. In other words, they are roasted with their own fat.. However, after 1989, they had the opportunity to work in the surrounding factories.. Until then, they were confined to this neighborhood.
There is a place for ablution and many ewers in the garden of the mosque.. The minaret, which was built in the Chinese architectural style, was quite interesting to us.. This is a large complex with tombstones on a turtle (tortoise symbolizes long life).. We come to the mosque by walking along the walking paths among the roses and flowers in the garden.. They allow us to visit the mosque because we are Muslims.
Buddhism and Islam are very old. Christianity 12. He came here in the 16th century.
The roof of the mosque is again typical Chinese architecture, there are many miniature animal figures and dragons on the roofs to prevent evil spirits from entering.. All the walls of the mosque were burned on wood, both in Arabic and Chinese, and Quranic suras were written on it.. This mosque is a must see.
After the mosque, we take our buses and set off to see the Terra Kota warriors.. The Terra Cota soldiers alone are flooded with more than 2 million tourists a year. You should definitely see this enormous army.
