Huaqing Palace: Hot Springs, History, and a Royal Love Story

Just a short distance from the Terracotta Warriors, Huaqing Palace is a stunning mix of history, nature, and romance. Once a retreat for Chinese emperors, it’s famous for its hot springs and for being the setting of one of China’s most legendary love stories—between Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and his beloved concubine, Yang Guifei. Walking through the palace grounds, you’ll find beautiful gardens, ancient bathing pools, and elegant pavilions, all set against the backdrop of Mount Li. The architecture blends seamlessly with the natural landscape, creating a peaceful, almost dreamlike atmosphere. If you love history and scenic spots, this is a great addition to a Terracotta Warriors trip. And if you visit in the evening, you might even catch the famous "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" performance, which brings the palace’s romantic history to life with music and dance! #discoverchina
