Things to do in Xingping

To the tune of "Linjiangxian" – My Alma Mater Forty years have passed since I left the school gates, half a lifetime has flown by, yet the warmth of spring remains. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda in Xiaozhai, the Tang Dynasty's Ever-Bright City. Four years of diligent study should not be taken lightly; parting sorrows linger like a pale moon and wispy clouds, old memories before the wine cup bring a frown to my brow. The Drum Tower and Bell Tower in the Muslim Quarter exude the charm of autumn.

Teacher Tangtang's teaching is really excellent! 🤩🤩 I learned a lot from her throughout the course. She reminded me of my high school Chinese teacher, someone incredibly knowledgeable! ✌︎' ֊'🥳🥳🥳 In short, I really enjoyed it! 🥰🥰🥰

The biggest highlight of visiting Xi'an right now is the Tang Dynasty street, which was originally a shopping mall. People of all ages stroll through the street dressed in various Tang Dynasty costumes, freely taking photos with their phones. There are also shops that rent clothes for taking ancient costume photos. You can see many exquisite makeup and costumes with photographers, which is very DIY. There are also many Tang Dynasty and ancient elements. The staff are also dressed in Tang Dynasty costumes. There are acrobatic performances, guzheng performances, short drama performances, and even the places to eat are in an ancient style. It's like traveling back in time. In short, you can immerse yourself in the Tang Dynasty's golden age for a small amount of money.

I think Daming Park was a little underwhelming. I thought from the photos that there were some ancient buildings on site. Apparently they were all destroyed at the end of the Tang Dynasty. The size of the park and the small recreations do give you perspective on the absolute massive scale that this palace complex once operated on. I listened to a documentary on Daming while wondering around the park, which helped transport me back through time. At present day however, the park is devoid of buildings except for the base of one of the palaces and Daming palace itself situated at the end of a large pavilion.

The scenic area is large and clean, with a refreshing atmosphere. The children were very happy, and the visit was very comfortable. The staff were very welcoming, and the routes were well-designed, making it incredibly convenient! I will definitely come again next time.

Add this to your itinerary if you're visting Xi'an! I have been to the quarter 3 times. Walk along the main path of the quarter BUT make sure you also walk down the narrow alleyways! There are LOTS of shops and food stalls you don't want to miss. Open 24/7 too so make sure you visit!

I was so surprised! This museum is free, and has so many ancient items including a tiny teracotta army!

This water park is amazing! There are so many facilities, the slides are exciting and fun, the wave pool feels like being at the seaside, and the children's area is also suitable for children. The water is clear, the environment is beautiful, there are rest areas and delicious food. The service attitude of the staff is particularly good, which makes people feel at ease. Highly recommended!

Xi'an boasts a rich history, filled with numerous stories, legends, and archaeological artifacts. The Xi'an History Museum is the perfect first stop for a guided tour, providing a basic understanding of its geography and culture from ancient times to the present, which will build a foundation for listening to other stories. Our guide was fantastic—soft-spoken, with a steady pace, and she chose a spot with few people and a great angle. She also clearly explained the origins and stories of some of the legends surrounding the Small Wild Goose Pagoda. A full two hours of guided tour—highly recommended! 👍
