    The reason for the "no-pictures" sign at the lake is probably because there will be so many people during the peak tourist season, and the railings at the lake are not very high, making it easy for people to fall into the lake due to pushing. This sign is a pre-warning and can be used when the crowd gathers too much, and it will have staff from the scenic spot to guide tourists in this place.
    There are so many people in China's scenic spots during the peak season that you can't even imagine them, so extra safety measures are required, even if these measures seem unreasonable in the off-season.

    Welcome to Xi'an! As a local, I cannot imagine you go to such rural areas like Cuihua Shan! Its also famous for its Quaternary glacial remains. The special terrains and broken rocks along the trails are due to the melt of the glacier. When you wanna buy hot water, actually the lady said they do offer hot tea in teapot. They can also help you to warm up the bottle tea drinks :)

    If you come to the east of China such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang, especially in south of Jiangsu Province, you will find the countryside in these areas has a perfect infrastructure. Almost all villages are connected by national and provincial roads. I lived in a village in the south of Jiangsu Province. The council has invested a lot of money in us to build convenient facilities, including hospitals, schools, parks, and even a big shopping square. Actually I am living in the UK and I've been to a lot of places in Europe but I can't really find any better infrastructure than my home village.❤❤❤

    Glad to see you have a nice trip in Xi'an. Xi'an is also my home town. If you have a plan to continue to travel in China, I think Yun Nan province would be your next best destination. Especially the city Dali and the Lijiang ancient city, both of them are famous as tourist cities. Yun Nan is also called the capital of Spring in China, the scenery is pretty beautiful there. If you come to China in the summer, I would recommend the Xinjiang province. The fruits there are really nice and sweet, especially the grapes and melons.

      @@KenAbroad Next time let the Chinese person speaks into your mobile to translate what she said from Mandarin to English and there won't be any miscommunication. I don't see the point of speaking to them in English when it's obvious they won't understand you, only giving perplexed look. They, on the other hand, may think you are one of those foreigners working in China and so may speak some Mandarin and it's indeed true of those foreigners studying or working there, some of them can speak Mandarin very well. So as a non-Mandarin speaking tourist, the first thing you might want to do is whip out your mobile and launch the trans app.

    3:24 The sign just shows the name of this station "钟楼" (Zhonglou or the bell tower). The girls must also be tourists from other places in China. The bell tower is the famous tourist site in Xi'an, so they were just taking picture of the station name for uploading to their social media later, showing they've been here.
