Visited during the off-peak season before the Chinese 5/1 holidays so it was fairly empty. In fact, aside from a few scenic spots filled with photographers, the broader park was a bit of a sad ghost town.. perhaps it’s pricey for local standards, but makes for an enjoyable sunset stroll. There is a flagship night show that requires extra tickets/payments, but we only learned about it there.
The entire park is beautifully landscaped, offering stunning views both during the day and at night. Many beautiful women, all wearing stunning makeup, come to take photos, adding to the beauty of the Tang Paradise. Evening performances are available, so be sure to book tickets in advance during peak season. Watching a performance on Chuanshan Mountain is a truly unique experience.

It was great, but we went a little late, so we didn't get to try on the Tang suits and take photos. I'll definitely go back if I get a chance. The show was great. I went hungry, but it was so good that I had to eat a quick meal inside. I insisted on finishing the show before heading out for something special. I have to give a double thumbs up to the staff for their dedication and service. My ticket was for two days, so I didn't go back because I was pressed for time. I'll definitely watch the entire show next time.
The children had a better experience and felt it was very interesting. They thought it was the most interesting project on the way to Shaanxi, Henan and Hebei. However, as an adult, I felt it was not as good as advertised. The experience was not good when there were too many people. It is better to play on non-holidays.

The Danfeng Palace explanation should be on the hour, but fortunately we only waited for more than ten minutes, and the explanation lasted about an hour. It is better to understand the Daming Palace and its glorious history with the explanation.
Ruins are just ruins, nothing there. I couldn't find the museum I was supposed to visit. Just when I was about to give up, I found a pit. The museum is right down there, underground...

The performance content is really eye-catching, and the live performance is also very exciting. It is worth seeing the performance. There are many small performances in the scenic area, and my father-in-law is very good.
This trip to Xi'an was a decision I won't regret! I bought a package for two adults and one child, and was even given a free upgrade to VIP seats. What incredible luck! The show, which spans the Banpo period to the present day, boasts a variety of spectacular special effects that truly captivate. It's definitely worth bringing the kids along; it's both educational and fun. Highly recommended!

The new museum is very large and you can't finish visiting it. The tour guide Huang Yifan is very good. He talked for 4 hours without stopping. He is very professional and amazing. It was a very good cultural journey.
The 2.5-hour guided tour was quite long, as we were still in a hurry. We covered the Rubbings Hall, the Jingyun Bell, the main steles in Rooms 1, 2, and 3, the Wang, Yan, and Liu in the New Hall, the Six Horses, Lin Zexu's inscriptions on the Forest of Steles, and the Book of Filial Piety. Our guide, Xiao Huang, was attentive to avoiding large crowds and staggered the tours, with only a 5-minute break. The explanations were very detailed and the experience was excellent. The Forest of Steles is worth visiting.

[Scenery] Stepping into the Xi'an Museum begins a profound dialogue with history. The museum boasts a rich collection, ranging from pristine bronzes from the pre-Qin period to exquisite artifacts from the Han and Tang dynasties, each piece bearing the weight of time. The museum's treasured tri-colored flying horse, with its swift and agile posture, seems poised to leap forth at any moment, awe-inspiring the exquisite craftsmanship of the ancients.
[Fun] Beyond the artifacts, the museum's architecture is also unique, skillfully blending traditional and modern elements. A stroll through its charm is a relaxing and enjoyable experience. The museum also boasts a highly realistic sand table display of the 108 Fangs of the Sui and Tang dynasties, transporting you back a thousand years. Don't miss this place when visiting Xi'an!
I absolutely rave about the Xi'an Museum. I couldn't get an appointment with the Shaanxi History Museum, so I had to use the Xi'an Museum as a substitute. The visit was fantastic. The issues of poor layout and crowds, as some reviews have mentioned, were completely absent. The Small Wild Goose Pagoda is absolutely stunning. The Wild Goose Pagoda Morning Bell lives up to its name. The cultural and creative products are super cute. I shopped a lot along the way. Each of the ten collections is truly remarkable. The instructor was very professional. To make up for our regret of not going to the Shaanxi History Museum, he even highlighted several of the museum's artifacts. The Xi'an Museum has the same large gold cake as the Shaanxi History Museum. The cultural and creative gold cake is incredibly realistic. Don't forget to buy one.

It was completely rebuilt later, and the address was selected after archaeological inference. It has the reputation of being one of the four famous towers. The view on the top of the tower is very good. You can look into the distance and feel the desire to see thousands of miles away as described by Wang Zhihuan. The scenic area is not big, so it is not necessary to come here specifically. If you want to have an in-depth tour of Yuncheng, you can consider it.
I never knew the Stork Tower was a replica of a later building. Besides the first and second floors, which have exhibits, the other floors are empty. You can go out on the sixth floor for a view. Overall, I'd give it an 80.

The palace flew overhead, and the assassin suddenly rushed out from beside me...
Especially the boating scene; it really felt like I was on a boat, weaving through the reeds...
I loved the assassin scene; the lighting and choreography were perfectly combined.
Jing Ke's makeup was so handsome; the fight scene was so thrilling.
When I saw the soldiers transformed into the Terracotta Army at the end, I cried 😭~
Come see the mighty Daqin! First, let's talk about the venue and facilities. After entering and passing security, there's a whole wall of carved murals! The atmosphere is immediately felt! You can also check in and take photos. There are also some cards and leaflets you can pick up on site, and the quality is very good! Looking forward to it!

Upon entering the park, the first thing that caught my eye was the wild animal area. A caged car slowly pulled in. Outside the window, lazily lounging Siberian tigers appeared, their fur gleaming golden in the sunlight, their eyes hollow and empty. Occasionally, they stood up and paced, their steps devoid of the majesty of the kings of the forest. Instead, they seemed programmed machines, repeating their aimless movements. Fellow tourists excitedly clapped at the window, trying to attract their attention, but the beasts, accustomed to such interruptions, didn't even bother to raise an eyelid.
Turning a corner, several black bears awkwardly bowed and begged for food. Tourists fed them, laughter filling the air. I suddenly thought of Jack London's Buck, longing for the wilderness. If these bears knew, what kind of wilds would they dream of? The primeval forests deep in the Qinling Mountains, where their ancestors once roamed, or this eternally impassable fence?
The herbivore area seemed much more peaceful. Giraffes gracefully munched leaves, and zebras strolled across a simulated grassland. The fences here felt less stifling, and the animals seemed more comfortable. However, a closer look revealed that their behavior still bore the hallmarks of captivity—repetitive pacing patterns, conditioned responses to food, and social interactions distinct from those in nature.
The bird garden moved me most. The colorful parrots had their flight feathers clipped, forcing them to hop from low branches. A peacock spread its feathers, and visitors raised their phones, yet no one noticed its repeated attempts to fly over the seemingly endless mesh fence. I stood there for a long time, watching it try and fail again and again, and suddenly understood the cruelty of this design: it gives you the freedom to see the sky, but deprives you of the ability to touch it.
Wandering into the primate area, the moment I locked eyes with an elderly gorilla, I felt a familiar emotion. Sitting in a corner of a rockery, its eyes revealed a nearly human-like contemplation and melancholy. We were only a few meters apart, yet we belonged to two different worlds. Did it dream of the African rainforest? Does it miss the days of swinging through the treetops? No one can answer these questions, only the deep wrinkles at the corners of its eyes seem etched with silent stories.
In the late afternoon, the zoo's broadcast announced the upcoming animal show. I followed the sound, but paused at the entrance. Through the crack in the door, I saw a black bear riding a bicycle and a monkey doing math problems in clothes, as the audience erupted in laughter. Ultimately, I didn't go in, suddenly feeling that this kind of entertainment, which domesticates wild animals into clowns, smothered in an unspeakable sadness.
The zoo has a wide variety of rare birds and beasts, including cranes, peacocks, Bengal white tigers, Siberian tigers, black bears, brown bears, lions, giant pandas, wolves, and more. There are also many cute little animals, such as meerkats, red pandas, various monkeys, and gorillas. There are also wonderful sea lion performances and random clown performances. The venue is large enough to spend a whole day, making it a great place to take the kids.
