Jinci Temple, as the oldest existing royal sacrificial garden in China, boasts ancient buildings and thousand-year-old cypress trees, showcasing a unique northern garden charm. The Song Dynasty painted clay statues of maidens in the Holy Mother Hall are a masterpiece, and the ingenious structure of the Fish Pond Flying Bridge is a unique example of ancient bridge architecture. The Zhou Cypress and Tang Locust Tree, along with the Nanlao Spring, constitute the "Three Wonders of Jinci," and a stroll through the temple grounds allows one to feel a rich historical atmosphere.
It is recommended to visit on a weekday morning to avoid peak tour group crowds and enjoy the interplay of light and shadow on the ancient buildings. The scenic area is quite large, so comfortable walking shoes are recommended. Remember to bring sun protection in summer and warm clothing in winter. For visitors interested in history and culture, it is recommended to learn about the relevant background information beforehand or rent an audio guide (20 yuan/time), which can greatly enhance the depth of the visit.
As expected of a national 5A-level scenic spot, it's steeped in history. The scenic area comprises Jinci Park and a museum. Jinci Park is free, and I happened to visit during its peak foliage season. Learning about history while enjoying beautiful scenery was a wonderful experience.

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.

This is definitely a tourist attraction I'd visit twice! It's all about relieving bad moods! It's a fantastic way to release all that tension we usually have, it's truly amazing! Plus, everything inside is incredibly affordable, something you won't find anywhere else! You can eat, drink, and have fun to your heart's content!
I didn't have high expectations for Wansui Mountain; I just considered it a substitute for Qingming Festival and Shanghe Garden. However, once inside, I was surprised by the sheer number of performances. Basically, as soon as one show ended, another was about to start. It's a very small place, and watching the shows took a long time. I highly recommend visiting this place.

来郑州一定要去“只有河南”一趟。戏剧和演出都很好看。非常震撼。一天票看了“曹操的麦田”，“苏轼的河南”，“麦子啊麦子”，“薛怀义”，“梦幻剧场”，“张家大院”。离开前可以在门口看“文明之光”
A highly recommended place to visit!
The actors' professional performances combined with stunning sound effects.
The park has two restaurants with very reasonable prices and delicious food.
One day is simply not enough to see everything; I suggest a 3-day or 2-day trip to explore at your own pace.

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.

The Stele Forest | Over 3K steles
Explore 50+ rare rubbings exhibit
Saved by 621 users5881 positive reviews

I visited the Forest of Steles ten years ago and had a wonderful experience. Unlike most people, my primary focus when visiting the Forest of Steles was the Xuanmi Pagoda Stele, because I've practiced the Liu style of calligraphy since childhood. Seeing the actual inscription on site back then felt very personal and intimate.
Last year, I heard that the Forest of Steles had a new building and a redesigned exhibition, and I've been thinking of visiting it again on my next trip to Xi'an. This time, after seeing the North Hall's exhibition, I felt it was indeed excellent. The environment and space were much better than the old hall, and the text descriptions were both informative and concise. Also, most of the ancient steles no longer had their glass covers, allowing visitors to get up close and have a more direct experience.
In short, it's beneficial to read and have direct contact with ancient Chinese culture—such opportunities are rare. The only downside was that the huge exhibition hall didn't even have a café or a place to refuel; there was only a vending machine selling only one type of mineral water, which forced me to leave early…
Of course, if you're not particularly interested in calligraphy or ancient Chinese history and culture, I personally advise against visiting.
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.

Taiyuan Botanical Garden has become a newly popular tourist attraction, largely thanks to its starry sky-top elevator observation deck. The three hemispherical tropical museums opposite, reflected in the water, resemble an alien base. Now that it's winter and the off-season, the crowds are concentrated here! You could easily spend a whole day here in the summer. There are electric shuttle buses and small electric cars available for rent, so it's not tiring for the elderly or children!
The botanical garden is large and boasts a rich variety of species. In winter, visitors can only view the exhibits inside the buildings, but during other seasons, the entire garden is open to visitors. I was fortunate enough to see the firefly exhibition this time, which was quite a nice way to relive childhood memories. It's truly amazing how such tiny fireflies can emit such bright light. The plants inside the exhibits are as beautiful as ever.
