The Xi'an Silk Road Joy World has officially opened, and here's the ultimate guide to make the most of it!
Xi'an's recent cultural and tourism projects have been increasingly impressive. I visited the 'Silk Road Joy World' over the weekend, and it felt even more like a princess's home than Disney. The exotic architecture is stunning, with palaces, churches, and castles in macaron color schemes... It's a dream come true for anyone with a love for whimsy!
It wasn't fully built during the trial operation period, but now it's finally officially opening. I spent a whole day there, not missing a single performance, musical, or facility. I racked up 20,000 steps - what a fulfilling day!
✨Tour Guide
1⃣️There are seven major themed areas, in clockwise order: Glorious Rome, Fantasy Snow Country, Ganges Elephant Valley, Magical China, Desert Mystery, Gorgeous Persia, and Sunny Greece. It's recommended to go around clockwise or counterclockwise and make it to Magical China, located at the southernmost (central) part of the park, before 15:20 to watch the 'Voice of the Silk Road' performance.
2⃣️Must-try attractions:
1. Fantasy Flight: Similar to Disney's 'Soaring Over Horizon', you ride a flying machine and tour the wonders of the Silk Road 📍Sunny Greece
2. Golden City Rafting: This is the most reliable rafting I've experienced in Xi'an, with a long course and they even provide raincoats 📍Ganges Elephant Valley
3. Marco Polo's Adventure: A 5D experience, you follow the protagonist to battle mythical creatures from the 'Classic of Mountains and Seas', similar to Universal Studios' 'Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey' 📍Gorgeous Persia
4. Other recommended attractions if you have time: Kunlun Mine Coaster, Disco, Caterpillar Bumper Cars (too cute, I couldn't resist)
We played almost everything, and it was so worth it!
✨Dining Guide
1⃣️Concentrated in Fantasy Snow Country and Desert Mystery, you can also buy water from various cultural shops and vending machines along the streets.
2⃣️Fantasy Snow Country has Burger King, a yogurt cow, Myeongdong Street... and there's a 'Shanwu Coffee' at the north entrance. Be sure to check out the 'Xi'an Ice Cream' with macaron colors, it's so photogenic! Topped with colorful corn rings, it's crunchy and delicious~
3⃣️Desert Mystery mainly offers local snacks, most priced under 20 yuan, truly affordable!
✨Photo Tips:
1⃣️Almost the entire park is photogenic, with exotic buildings that make you feel like you're abroad. Highly recommended: Ganges Elephant Valley, Ganges Elephant Valley, Gorgeous Persia
2⃣️In addition to the ground, it's suggested to take photos from the second floor of the stairs for a wider view of the park's architecture
3⃣️For a purer shot of the buildings and portraits, it's recommended to use a telephoto lens, either a camera or a smartphone (zoom in, multiple times)

Went on March 3, 2024, the scenery is pleasant, the seven theme cultural blocks, the building is European style, is a holy place to take pictures and punch in. There are many amusement projects, fantasy flying, Marco Polo exploration, mining cars, jumping machines, all kinds of roller coasters. The musical is very shocking and the on-site effect is good. The dining is varied, with Shaanxi characteristics, the price is very close to the people, a trip worth remembering!
Ok, just west of Xi'an, but due to the weather, some projects have not been opened, a little regrettable. There are restaurants in the park. There are Chinese fast food categories, and there is also a Burger King restaurant in the afternoon, and some projects have a long queue time. It takes about an hour. The bumper car is meaningless. Probably for safety.
Very fun, the child is very happy! The Silk Road Sound musical is very beautiful, the child's phone watch is in the theater, or the theater's Mr. Xiao called to tell us that the next day, it was sent to the theater door! Thank you very much Mr. Xiao of the Qinyin Theater!
It is a dragon free ticket. After the Xi'an cultural travel coupon is full, the adult ticket is very cost-effective. The family is very happy! The adventurer's manual has gathered stickers and exchanged a set of badges! I added "The Sound of the Silk Road", the children especially like it, the performance is very good and very advanced! It’s not worse than Disney at all. Some of the shortcomings are that the roller coaster and several large projects are not opened. Maybe because the weather is cold...
Super beautiful, the color matching of macarons satisfies my girl's heart, even if I don't play, I can go shopping for a long time.
I haven't believed it after reading a lot of reviews, so I went to experience it myself this time. Basically, each project needs to queue for more than an hour. Some projects need four people, six people or more people. The playground would rather let one or two people open it alone, not make up the project full. The small team of one or two people can only look at the empty seats and sigh 😅 We went there. It was a weekend. Although the park was closed at 10, many amusement facilities have stopped running since 7:30, saying that they need to be overhauled. Hey! I went at 12 noon and left at 8 pm. I only played four projects, and I was queuing at other times. Depressed 😒
The playground is designed to stimulate children's imagination and creativity with fairy tales, adventures and other themes. In the game, they can play different roles and create their own stories. It provides a healthy channel for children to express their emotions. Whether it is joy, excitement or frustration, children can naturally express and release these emotions in play.
