When you come to Xi'an, you must try the Hanfu experience. The streets are full of concubines, soldiers and guards. Realize the true freedom of Hanfu The rental price of Hanfu ranges from 100 to 400. The more expensive the clothing, the better the quality. The price usually includes makeup and hairstyle. If you have the conditions and want to produce photos, you can choose to pay extra to find a photographer. They will bring professional props and take you to the most suitable place for taking photos, saving a lot of time. You can also retouch the photos. Recommend a few frequently visited costume filming locations: The Longest Day in Chang'an, Tang Paradise, Tang Dynasty City That Never Sleeps The Twelve Hours in Chang'an is an indoor scenic spot. Almost everyone is wearing Hanfu and many people are taking photos inside. It is very photogenic. There are different NPC performances in each hour of the scenic spot. It feels like traveling back to ancient times. The ticket to Tang Paradise is 120 yuan, which is not worth it. If you don't want to take photos, there is no point in going in. However, the night view is very beautiful. You can consider it. The Tang Dynasty City That Never Sleeps is a commercial street with different food stalls and local performances. It is always crowded. It is free and has many lights at night.

As the name suggests, Tang Paradise is an elaborate recreation of a Tang dynasty imperial garden. Located to the north of the historic Furong Garden, it is the first large-scale cultural theme park of its kind in China. Climb Ziyun Tower for a spectacular view of the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, one of the oldest and largest square brick pagodas of still in existence.

🏯The Tang Dynasty Furong Garden is located on the southeast side of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. It was rebuilt in the style of the Tang Dynasty imperial gardens in the north of the original Tang Dynasty Furong Garden ruins. The overall planning and architectural design were undertaken by Zhang Jinqiu, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. Therefore, no matter in the overall or in the details, it is not sloppy at all. - 🏯Because it highly restores the appearance of the Tang Dynasty imperial gardens, it is very suitable for taking pictures of ancient buildings and ancient portraits. At the same time, the lighting project of the park is very good, and it looks very feel. It is strongly recommended to visit at night. It really has the illusion of dreaming back to the Tang Dynasty! - 1️⃣ Hundred Steps of Lotus Steps Relief, P1 This landscape design is a reflection of the Buddhist culture of the Tang Dynasty. Stepping over the lotus means getting the blessing of the Buddha, and from then on, there will be no worries, happiness and peace. 📌Tips: When framing, use the relief as the foreground, and the background is the imitation Tang Dynasty architecture. With the help of the reflection of the calm water surface, the picture is particularly beautiful when the lights are on at night. - 2️⃣Wangchun Pavilion, P2 The picture shows Wangchun Pavilion, a three-story hexagonal pavilion imitating the Tang Dynasty, located in the Ladies' Pavilion. - 3️⃣Yuyuan Gate (West Gate of the Scenic Area), P3 Yuyuan Gate is the main gate of the scenic area.

The Qi Pavilion in the Furong Garden in the lobby is built on the central axis of the entire park, facing the Ziyun Tower across the Furong Lake. 📌Tips: It is especially suitable for taking photos of couples. The composition is also very simple. From bottom to top, just ensure left-right symmetry. - 5️⃣ Ziyun Tower, P5 As the landmark building of the whole park, Ziyun Tower is located in the middle.

A one-way ticket costs 2-8 yuan. Shared bicycles are also a good choice. You can ride a bicycle under the city wall and feel the charm of the ancient capital. 🍜 Food: Muslim Street is a paradise for foodies, but the prices are a bit high. It is recommended to go to Sajinqiao and Dapiyuan, which are frequented by locals and have affordable prices.

The Xi'an Meliá, opened in 2014, boasts 389 rooms and is part of the Spanish Meliá Hotels International group. From the moment you arrive, you'll be immersed in a rich Spanish🇪🇸 atmosphere. The impressive hotel lobby, with its soaring ceilings, is sure to leave a lasting impression. Located in the heart of Qujiang New District, the hotel is just 800 meters from the Tang Paradise and a 15-minute walk from the bustling pedestrian street, Datang Everbright City.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 The Tang Paradise, an imitation of the royal garden of the Tang Dynasty, fully displays the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty and is a cultural treasure of Xi'an. Stepping into the garden, it feels like traveling through a thousand years of time. The pavilions, towers, carved beams and painted buildings are magnificent in the Tang Dynasty style, showing the essence of ancient architectural art. The garden landscape is breathtaking, with sparkling lakes and shady green trees, and each season has a different charm. What is more worth mentioning is the colorful performances. Folk performances, float parades, etc. showcase the folk culture of the Tang Dynasty. There are also large-scale live performances on the water, with light and shadow interweaving, which is magnificent. There are many special foods and various authentic snacks that make people salivate, and you can taste the authentic Shaanxi flavor. 📌Tips: It is recommended to find out the performance time in advance and arrange the itinerary reasonably. The surrounding transportation is convenient and can be easily reached by subway or bus. The Tang Paradise opens for you a wonderful journey through time and space in the Tang Dynasty.

This time I came to the Tang Paradise to take photos of Hanfu, and the shooting points were "Caixia Corridor" and "Caixia Pavilion" on the waterside. The total shooting time was about 1.5 hours, but the Caixia Pavilion Lakeside was so popular that there was a constant stream of people, and the photographer had nearly half an hour to get a free moment to shoot. But it’s all worth the wait! The flying eaves and upturned corners of Caixia Pavilion are reflected on the water, and the background is a garden landscape with greenery and ancient buildings. The picture is extremely beautiful, fully showing the atmosphere of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Standing in front of the pavilion in a Tang suit, you really feel like you have traveled back to ancient times. The Caixia Corridor itself is also very charming, with red pillars and glazed tiles, giving it a strong sense of visual extension. Walking in it and taking a few photos looks like a scene from a costume drama. It is highly recommended to come to the Tang Paradise to take Tang suit photos, especially in the evening when the light is soft and adds to the atmosphere. #liiiiiiiian #MarchGoodPlaces2025 #TangFuRoseGarden #Hanfu

What's it like to walk back to the hotel after touring the Grand Tang Mall? Found a gem for our family trip to Xi'an!

The guzheng performance and tea station in the lobby add a cultural filter to the atmosphere. The rooms feature modern Chinese design with cloud-soft bedding. It's especially delightful that each window offers views of either the Big Wild Goose Pagoda or Tang Paradise corner towers. Most memorable were the cute towel animals folded by the housekeeping staff every morning, adding warmth to our journey. 🌟 A Food Paradise from Dawn to Dusk The hotel's Shaanxi restaurant is a hidden gem, with biangbiang noodles and meat burgers so authentic even locals give thumbs up. A 10-minute walk takes you to the Grand Tang Mall food street, from the time-honored Hulutou Paomo to the trending Brush Pastry.
