Exploring Xi’an

📍 Xi’an Adventures: Autumn Festival Edition! 🍂🎉

We couldn’t have picked a better time to visit Xi’an—right in the middle of the **Autumn Festival**! 🎑 The city was buzzing with excitement, lights, and traditions that made our trip extra special. ✨ Did you know this festival is all about family reunions, giving thanks, and moon appreciation? 🌕

🌟 **Fun Fact**: The **Terracotta Army** was just as impressive as we’d imagined! Over 8,000 warriors stand guard, and it’s mind-blowing to think they’ve been protecting Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s tomb for over 2,000 years. 🏺⚔️

We strolled the **Xi’an City Wall**, taking in the festive atmosphere as lanterns lit up the skyline. 🏮 The locals celebrated with mooncakes—delicious pastries filled with sweet or savory flavors—so naturally, we had to try a few! 🥮😋

The streets of the **Muslim Quarter** were even more vibrant than usual, packed with vendors selling **lamb skewers**, **biangbiang noodles**, and **Rou Jia Mo**. 🍜🥙 And of course, there were plenty of mooncakes to go around! We learned that the round shape symbolizes the full moon and togetherness—a perfect way to celebrate.

At the **Big Wild Goose Pagoda**, we joined the locals in lighting lanterns, sending good wishes into the night sky. 🌕🕊️✨
