#5月好去处2025 The Twelve Hours in Chang'an theme block is an immersive Tang-style cultural scenic spot located in Xi'an, China. It is inspired by the hit TV series "The Twelve Hours in Chang'an" and creates a walking experience space with the theme of the market system and market culture of Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty. The entire block highly restores the life of the Tang Dynasty, combining Hanfu, performances, food and interactive experiences, and is known as "a one-day tour of Chang'an through a thousand years." Because I have watched the Twelve Hours in Chang'an, I decided to come here when I went to Xi'an. The ticket price of the scenic spot will vary depending on the time. It is recommended to check the activities you want to participate in online before going. 🕰️Business hours: Weekdays: 10:00-22:00 Weekends/holidays: 09:30-22:30 The peak time for light shows and night tours starts at about 18:00 in the evening 💰Per capita consumption: Weekday adult tickets are about ¥60-80 RMB #长安十二时辰

At Qujiang Mandi Plaza in Xi'an, an immersive journey through the golden age of the Tang Dynasty quietly begins. Within this 24,000-square-meter space, the art team from "Chang'an Twelve Hours" has recreated 12 Tang-style streets with over 10,000 props, where even the air between the upturned eaves and bracket sets is filled with the aroma of Hu-style pancakes. When you put on VR gear, you can "step into" the painting "Court Ladies Wearing Flowered Headdresses" to watch beauties chase butterflies, or share a drink with Li Bai in a holographic projection — technology here isn't cold display, but transforms poetic lines like "The nine-tiered palace gates swing open" into tangible street life. Whether listening to pipa music in "Pingkang Ward" while wearing Tang-style Hanfu, or making Tang pastries with your own hands in the "Western Market," every corner tells the story of Chang'an's dawns and dusks from a thousand years ago. Now established as a must-visit "cosmic center of Tang-style culture," it daily attracts countless visitors dressed in splendid attire, immersing themselves in the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. Social media brims with shared travel tips and stunning Hanfu photo ops, further boosting the tourism appeal of Xi'an, this renowned historical and cultural city.

She didn't travel through time and space to become a little princess, but a little palace maid who sneaked out to visit the Lantern Festival The Longest Day in Chang'an has been so popular recently, and it's finally out‼ Photographer gets a thumbs up I can’t shoot big scenes anymore, I can only shoot small scenes. And we have to take a few pictures quickly while everyone is watching the show, otherwise the background will be full of people. If you ask me whether it is worth going or not⁉ I can only say that if you are a Hanfu enthusiast and just go there to take pictures, it is really worth it and you must check it in‼ It’s so beautiful and so easy to photograph, hahaha ~ Because it’s an indoor scene, there’s no need to consider day and night and weather factors. But if you just want to experience the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and watch the singing and dancing performances, then I don’t recommend it, because it gives me the feeling of a Tang Dynasty-themed shopping mall. Although it is well built, it still feels like a shopping mall, not a "scenic spot". There are many scenic spots with Tang elements in Xi'an, and you don’t have to go here. Moreover, you have to grab a seat in advance to watch the show inside, otherwise you can only watch a small head. So whether it is worth it depends mainly on personal needs. 🎫Ticket price: 88/person 📍Location: The Twelve Hours in Chang'an Theme Block 🕙Opening hours: 10:00-22:00

How can you not try on ancient Chinese clothing when you're in Xi'an? This store is located on the B1 floor of Yiyangtang Mall in Datang Everbright City. They offer one-stop services for makeup and photography. The store is spacious and offers a wide variety of clothing styles and colors. The accessories area and makeup area are well-organized.

It looks both noble and lively. The choice of headwear is the icing on the cake. The gorgeous hairpin and tassel make me feel like I've traveled back in time and become a Tang Dynasty princess. - The process is efficient and the service is excellent. I will choose this place again when I come to Xi'an next time.

If you come to Xi'an but don't visit Twelve Hours in Chang'an, it's a wasted trip! - The photos taken in The Longest Day in Chang'an are really great👩🏻‍🎤 Just take a photo and it will be a blockbuster📷📸📸📸 I can't stop at all📸📸📸 Compared to the Tang Dynasty City That Never Sleeps, it is very difficult to take pictures because of the huge crowds of people. It really tests your skills! - And in Chang'an Twelve Hours, there will be a performance every two steps. The actors and actresses are very dedicated and the experience is immersive. Watching this, I really felt like I was traveling back to the Tang Dynasty!🪆🪆🪆 Anyway, everyone must come and see it! ‼ ️‼ ️‼ ️

❤️ Drunken Chang'an (Bell Tower Flagship Store) For the first meal after arriving in Xi'an, I chose this restaurant listed on the must-eat review list. I didn't order the number one recommended gourd chicken because many places have it as their top recommended dish. Instead, I ordered a two-person set meal plus other dishes, including King Pork Knuckle, Dried Tripe, Roujiamo (Chinese burger), Osmanthus Fresh Fruit Honey Jelly Cake... The restaurant is very large, the service is enthusiastic, and the taste is quite good. . 💔 Xiaonanmeng Morning Market Before going, I saw many people saying to avoid Xiaonanmeng, but since it was close to where I was staying, I went anyway and ended up really disappointed... There are many shops and many people. Some popular stalls require a wait of over half an hour. The key is that the dishes I tried at the crowded stalls were not tasty. On the other hand, a stall without a queue selling fried dough sticks with egg was quite good. Most shops have no seating, but near the city gate, there is a row of shops where you can sit outside if you make a purchase. . ❤️ Chang'an Grand Diner: Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty (Datang Everbright City Store) A chain restaurant with dinner performances and interactions. The appetizer is peanuts wrapped in paper. The Concubine Smile and Brush Pen Pastry are both beautiful and delicious. Gourd Chicken & Guanzhong Six Small Bowls are local specialties worth trying. It's a popular spot, so it's recommended to dine off-peak or get a number in advance. . ❤️ JING 1989 Asian Fusion Cuisine · Shaanxi Cuisine (Xi'an Joy City Store) A scenic restaurant located on the 4th floor of Joy City, next to the Xuanzang photo spot. Not crowded during dinner time, no need to queue. This fusion cuisine is creative and tasty. Recommended dishes: Crispy Fried Cauliflower, Kimchi Beef Roujiamo. . 💙 Others ✔️ The Longest Day in Chang'an Surprisingly, my favorite Roujiamo on this trip was the one I had at The Longest Day in Chang'an, highly recommended. I also tried cold noodles and cold skin noodles but didn't like them. . ✔️ Wei's Cold Skin Noodles A chain store, Angus beef burger offers great value. . ✔️ Deyu Lan Qin Chuan Beef Noodles (Terracotta Warriors Lishan Garden) The meeting point for the guided tour group, had lunch here, it was decent.

An overlooked attraction in Xi'an… the Chang'an Twelve Hours dinner show. You can never get enough of Xi'an! I'll be back! I spent a whole day at the Chang'an Twelve Hours attraction. There were so many beautiful young ladies in Hanfu. Being indoors in winter meant it wasn't too cold, which was convenient and made for great photos. I went to the Bell Tower yesterday wearing too little and caught a cold. As soon as I entered, I felt like I had traveled back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty. The performances were brilliant, and the acrobats were amazing. The dancers were also excellent, and the stage production was very well done. The most stunning part was the final grand performance! I felt the ticket price was absolutely worth it.
