Hi there, we are a Japanese couple based in Shanghai, China.  
Hope you enjoy this video.

I spent four days exploring the ancient capital of Xi’an, once known as Chang’an.
One of those days was a day trip to Luoyang, another of China’s ancient capitals, about 1.5 hours away by high-speed rail — that part will appear in my next video.

From the Terracotta Army, Huaqing Palace, and the City Wall to the Bell Tower, Drum Tower, and Shuyuanmen Street, this trip was a journey through living history — a city where centuries of culture meet the vibrant energy of everyday life.

I stayed at EASTERN HOUSE(Near Bell&Drum Tower City Wall), conveniently located near the Bell & Drum Towers — a perfect base for sightseeing.  More than half of the guests were international travelers, which surprised me.  Each floor offers free bottled water, and laundry facilities are also free to use — ideal for longer stays.

🏨 EASTERN HOUSE(Near Bell&Drum Tower City Wall)
300 m West from Fen Lane, South Street, Beilin District, Xi’an 710002, Shaanxi Province, China
