But the ticket price is quite high, I would regret not coming, and I would regret coming... In fact, the scenery in the park is quite good, the scenery is pleasant, it feels like a big park, and it is indeed very Tang style, very suitable for leisure and relaxation. We also made an appointment with a photographer to take photos of the night view of Hanfu, and this place is very suitable~ · 💜 Recommended route It is recommended to enter from the Imperial Garden Gate (West Gate), which is actually quite close to the City That Never Sleeps ✔You can see the Silver Bridge Waterfall soon after entering the gate ✔Then walk forward to the Ziyun Tower, which is very suitable for taking photos ✔On the right hand side, there are the Moonlight Guanyin Handprint, the Hundred Steps of Lotus Steps Relief, and the Qujiang Hudian, which are also very ancient ✔Then go to the Caixia Pavilion and the Caixia Corridor, which are popular Hanfu shooting locations. The corridor has a sense of depth ✔The Lady's Pavilion Wangchun Pavilion is also suitable as a background for taking Hanfu photos, and the night view is very beautiful! ✔Then go to the flag pavilion and Chang'an Wharf, and you've almost circled the scenic area · 「𝙄𝙉𝙁𝙊𝙍𝙈𝘼𝙏𝙄𝙊𝙉」 📍Detailed address: No. 99, Furong West Road, Qujiang New District, Xi'an 🚌Transportation strategy: bus/subway 🕐Opening hours: 09:00-22:00 💰Ticket price: 120/person ⌚Recommended tour: 2-3h

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 two-story main gate building with gorgeous shapes complements the three-layer ques on the left and right, which looks magnificent. 📌Tips: When composing, you can use the reflection of the pool at the door. If you are lucky, you can also encounter a flock of pigeons. - 4️⃣Qi Pavilion, P4 "Qi Pavilion" generally refers to a city building or a restaurant. In classical literary works, the term "Qi Pavilion" has almost become a synonym for a restaurant and is used frequently. 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. Its highly symmetrical structure makes it look solemn and sacred, and truly reproduces the majesty, luxury, grandeur and magnificence of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Ziyun Tower was built with reference to historical materials. It is recorded that it was built in the 14th year of Kaiyuan in the Tang Dynasty. Every time there was a Qujiang meeting, Emperor Minghuang of Tang would visit this tower to enjoy singing and dancing. He enjoyed himself with the people. -, 6️⃣ Caixia Pavilion, P6~P8 Caixia Pavilion consists of two pavilions, Jinting and Yuting, and a long corridor. It was a building comparable to Ziyun Tower in the Tang Dynasty, and it is also a good place to enjoy the lake view now. - 7️⃣Hand-drawn map of the scenic area, P9 - 🕰Business hours: 9:00-22:00 (21:30 to clear the garden) 🗺️Visiting time: 2~3 hours (recommended to enter the garden in the evening) 🎫Tickets: 120 yuan, but [free] from August 1st, must be booked in advance on the "Tang Paradise" applet, plan to go during holidays must book in advance! ! ! #春去边玩#地方游#国外游

#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.

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

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.

For those brave warriors who want to climb Huashan easily and play on the Changkong Plank Road without queuing, this guide is shared with everyone. It is suitable for tourists who travel back and forth from Xi'an on the same day and whose main purpose, like me, is to visit the plank road and watch the sunset. It is also suitable for the elderly, people with average physical strength, and those with children. The chosen route is west-up and west-down, with cable car the entire way. Let’s review the timeline first👇 🕒𝟖:𝟐𝟏Arrive at Huashan North Station, 𝟗:𝟒𝟐Arrive at the queue for the West Peak cable car, 𝟏𝟎:𝟐𝟏Get off the cable car and start climbing the mountain, 𝟏𝟏:𝟏𝟓Arrive at the reservation area for the Nantianmen Skywalk. (Figure 2) During the trip, you will pass the top of the South Peak. What you need to pay attention to during this section is that all the processes before going up the mountain must be fast‼ ️If you want to play on the skywalk, run as much as you can‼ ️Because there are a lot of people queuing for the Xifeng cable car, it is better to arrive one minute earlier and go up the mountain. Otherwise, there will be too many people queuing for the Xifeng cable car and you will be tired before you even get up the mountain. 🧗🏻‍♀️Time and tips for playing the Skywalk: There are two places on the Skywalk where you need to queue up. The first is at the reservation office on the lower right of Figure 2, where groups of 50 people are registered and released. The second is that after registering, you have to wait for about an hour until the previous group has finished playing. During this stage, there are rooms inside where you can sit and wait. While I was waiting for my friends to come, I ate something to replenish my energy, then made an appointment with 𝟏𝟐:𝟎𝟎, registered, and went in to wait. When we came out after playing at around 2 o'clock, the queue had already reached the intersection. The people behind us basically had to wait in line for at least three and a half hours to play. 🟡The actual whole journey on the Changkong Plank Road takes only a little over an hour, and half of the time is spent resting at Siguo Cliff and waiting for everyone to arrive before starting the return journey, so the one-way journey only takes about ten minutes, which is very fast. 🟢The safety belt is very tight, "tied up tightly" as shown in Figure 8. It is very safe. There are staff to ensure supervision throughout the process. As long as you are not afraid of heights, you can rush with confidence. 🔴You can’t play alone, but don’t worry, many people play by themselves, so you can just form a team on the spot. It is best to bring cash for convenience, but it doesn’t matter if you forget it, there is a QR code that can be scanned. The main thing is that if someone changes their mind after you arrive, it will be complicated and troublesome to get a refund. 🟠Hold your mobile phone well. People lose their mobile phones and mainland China ID cards every day. Put all your belongings except your mobile phone in your bag and put them in the storage area at the door. As shown in Figure 10, three people lost their mainland China ID cards on that day... You can buy a neck strap in advance to hang your mobile phone like I did. 🔵Want to take photos while sitting on the wooden board‼ ️On the return trip, the chain was on top and not long enough for you to sit down. The staff explicitly prohibited you from sitting down to take pictures, so unfortunately I didn't get to take any. 🌄For watching the sunset and going down the mountain: After getting off the Changkong Plank Road, the route is to go to the East Peak, Middle Peak, and West Peak in turn. Watch the sunset from the West Peak or when the West Cable Car is descending. Check the sunset time in advance every day. When going down, there was no one queuing for the cable car, and each person went down in a cabin. 👚In terms of clothing: The weather in the mountains changes rapidly, so it is necessary to bring a jacket. Don't wear shorts in this season. Wear non-slip shoes! For ladders or steep roads that are difficult to walk on, shoes with strong grip save a lot of effort. As for food and drink: I only brought two bottles of water and didn't finish them, mainly because I didn't want to go to the toilet on the mountain. The water pressure on the mountain is unstable, and the toilets are really smelly and disgusting. Bring some food like chocolate protein bars, and try to travel light; there are several stone tablets of the Huashan Sword Contest, all of which are free of charge. There are some that charge for taking photos and stand there shouting. Many people think that you can't go there even if you are charged, but that's not the case! Just go over and take the photo!

#2月好地方2025 The Tang Paradise is located beside the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in the ancient capital of Xi'an. It is a theme park of a large royal garden that showcases the style of the heyday of the Tang Dynasty. As early as in history, the Paradise was a prestigious royal garden. Today's Tang Paradise was built on the site of the original Tang Dynasty Paradise. With the background of "walking into history, feeling the humanity, and experiencing life", it showcases the splendid culture of the heyday of the Tang Dynasty. I like the pastoral style here, with mountains and water. To be precise, this can be regarded as a man-made attraction, but when you come here and stroll through the park, you will feel relaxed and happy, and appreciate the endless Tang Dynasty style.
