Beautiful area, not crowded on a Friday. We went to have our pictures taken for our Hanfu experience around sunset and walked around afterwards to enjoy the night scenery. Lots of people taking pictures around the northeast gate.
I originally hadn’t planed to visit this place but I’m really glad that I did. It was so magical with all the lights and installments. I haven’t visited the show, but saw a part of it from the other side. I will definitely come back again to see the show.

Strolling through the streets of Chang'an Twelve Hours, the melodious sounds of ancient music fill the air, the fragrance of sandalwood permeates the atmosphere, and exquisite Tang Dynasty handicrafts are on display everywhere, making it a place you'll want to linger.
Online reviews for "The Longest Day in Chang'an" are mixed, but I had a great experience. The set design and atmosphere are excellent, the actors in the immersive performance are very professional, and it's highly recommended [applause]. It's so much better than the crowded "Tang Dynasty Never Sleeps City" where you can't even see the actors.

Stepping into the Daming Palace Ruins Park, a restored Danfeng Gate stands in the spacious square, and the imperial road paved with blue bricks stretches into the distance. The ruins display areas on both sides use modern technology to recreate the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
It's quite large, but there are electric carts available inside, making it worth a visit for those interested in history. It's a pity that only ruins remain; it would have been quite impressive if they had been preserved.

I visited the monument ten years ago and it felt good after reading it. Unlike most people, my first choice for looking at the monument is the mysterious tower monument, because I was a willow body that I practiced since I was a child. I saw the real inscription on the spot and felt very kind. Last year, I heard that the Beilin built a new pavilion and re-issued the exhibition. I have been thinking about going to Xi'an next time and going to see it again. This time I finished the exhibition of the North Pavilion. I feel really good. The environmental space is much better than the old pavilion. The text introduction is both content and concise. At the same time, most ancient monuments have removed the glass shields that were covered before, which can allow visitors to contact at zero distance and have a more direct experience. In short, it is beneficial to open the volume and can fully contact China's ancient culture directly. There are not many such opportunities. Only one thing: the exhibition hall of Nuoda does not even have a coffee seat, there is no place to replenish energy, only a vending machine that sells only one mineral water, so I can only leave the venue early. . . Of course, if you have little interest in calligraphy and ancient Chinese culture and history, you will be persuaded to withdraw.
A must-see for calligraphy and ancient book enthusiasts, this exhibition features many masterpieces whose works have survived for centuries, a testament to the advantage and significance of stone carvings. The tomb of Li Xiaohai is also included in one of the exhibition areas, highlighting its immense prestige at the time.

I fell in love with Xi'an on my first trip there, and this show is definitely a must-see. There's also a haunted house, and people can take photos with the characters. Of course, there are also snacks available if you get hungry, although the taste isn't great. Overall, the show was very entertaining.
The Xi'an Qianguqing Scenic Area is clean and tidy, with beautifully landscaped gardens and small surprises everywhere. The Qianguqing performance was beautiful, exciting, and truly captivating. I'm still savoring the performance after returning home. The theater itself is also clean and tidy, with clear signage, so you don't have to worry about getting lost. There are also plenty of rest areas, so you can rest whenever you feel tired.

Fantastic performers, fantabulous experience and wonderful venues. The minus thing is the patrons of the locals some couldn’t keep quiet while watching
Absolutely stunning, grand scale, and a large cast and crew who all gave their all; the most worthwhile performance in Xi'an. However, the design of the stairs outside the main entrance is utterly incompetent and incredibly inconvenient. It's especially difficult for elderly people to navigate. Why not just have a parallel entrance instead of these long stairs? A truly idiotic design.

In autumn, the Xi'an Museum is ablaze with red persimmons and golden ginkgo leaves, creating a unique and photogenic atmosphere. Of course, the cultural relics in the Xi'an Museum are also well worth seeing, such as the tricolor flying horse, the Qin jade cup, and the interlocking cloud and thunder pattern cauldron... Each artifact has a different story and historical culture.
The hotel is easy to find, right next to Wuyue Plaza. It's quite new. I booked a family room, which was spacious and gave me a good night's sleep. The breakfast was a little simple, though; a little more variety would have been appreciated. Overall, it was quite good.

Climbing to the top of the Stork Tower, one can gaze at the Yellow River where the water meets the sky, and the expansive view instantly relaxes the mind; going downstairs, touching the ancient bricks and listening to the sound of the copper bells on the eaves in the wind, one is overwhelmed by a sense of history.

The former residence of Gao Yue Song worth to visit especially the experiences of watching performance “shadow puppetry “
Gao Family Mansion is a beautifully preserved traditional courtyard house located right in the heart of Xi’an’s Muslim Quarter. Once home to a wealthy merchant family during the Ming and Qing dynasties, it showcases elegant architecture, intricate wood carvings, and period furniture that give a glimpse into old Xi’an life. The highlight is often the shadow puppet performance held in one of the courtyards—an atmospheric way to experience local culture. Although not very large, it’s a quiet escape from the busy food street outside and worth a short visit if you enjoy history, architecture, and traditional arts.

It was fun, there were few people and many animals, it was very comfortable and my baby was very happy. It was just that we didn't have much time to catch a plane. We will definitely go there again next time we go to Xi'an.
Location: Get off at Changning Palace Station, the terminus of Line 2. You can take a direct bus or taxi. Since we were a large group, we took a taxi. The bus should depart at half past or on the hour. The return bus will be full, so it's 10 yuan per person.
Overall Experience: When visiting the Four Treasures of the Qinling Mountains, the panda enclosure is at the very back. There's no Qizi here! No Qizi! Don't go the wrong way. Everyone should check the weather before traveling to avoid a disappointing experience.
