Visited during the off-peak season before the Chinese 5/1 holidays so it was fairly empty. In fact, aside from a few scenic spots filled with photographers, the broader park was a bit of a sad ghost town.. perhaps it’s pricey for local standards, but makes for an enjoyable sunset stroll. There is a flagship night show that requires extra tickets/payments, but we only learned about it there.
The entire park is beautifully landscaped, offering stunning views both during the day and at night. Many beautiful women, all wearing stunning makeup, come to take photos, adding to the beauty of the Tang Paradise. Evening performances are available, so be sure to book tickets in advance during peak season. Watching a performance on Chuanshan Mountain is a truly unique experience.

The Chang'an Twelve Hours themed street has won wide acclaim from tourists for its unique immersive experience, rich cultural activities, food and shopping, innovative cultural and tourism integration, and technological empowerment, becoming a new cultural landmark of Xi'an.
It was great, but we went a little late, so we didn't get to try on the Tang suits and take photos. I'll definitely go back if I get a chance. The show was great. I went hungry, but it was so good that I had to eat a quick meal inside. I insisted on finishing the show before heading out for something special. I have to give a double thumbs up to the staff for their dedication and service. My ticket was for two days, so I didn't go back because I was pressed for time. I'll definitely watch the entire show next time.

The Danfeng Palace explanation should be on the hour, but fortunately we only waited for more than ten minutes, and the explanation lasted about an hour. It is better to understand the Daming Palace and its glorious history with the explanation.
Ruins are just ruins, nothing there. I couldn't find the museum I was supposed to visit. Just when I was about to give up, I found a pit. The museum is right down there, underground...

The performance content is really eye-catching, and the live performance is also very exciting. It is worth seeing the performance. There are many small performances in the scenic area, and my father-in-law is very good.
This trip to Xi'an was a decision I won't regret! I bought a package for two adults and one child, and was even given a free upgrade to VIP seats. What incredible luck! The show, which spans the Banpo period to the present day, boasts a variety of spectacular special effects that truly captivate. It's definitely worth bringing the kids along; it's both educational and fun. Highly recommended!

The new museum is very large and you can't finish visiting it. The tour guide Huang Yifan is very good. He talked for 4 hours without stopping. He is very professional and amazing. It was a very good cultural journey.
The 2.5-hour guided tour was quite long, as we were still in a hurry. We covered the Rubbings Hall, the Jingyun Bell, the main steles in Rooms 1, 2, and 3, the Wang, Yan, and Liu in the New Hall, the Six Horses, Lin Zexu's inscriptions on the Forest of Steles, and the Book of Filial Piety. Our guide, Xiao Huang, was attentive to avoiding large crowds and staggered the tours, with only a 5-minute break. The explanations were very detailed and the experience was excellent. The Forest of Steles is worth visiting.

Taking my six-year-old to the Luoyang Museum, I was initially worried she wouldn't be able to stand still. But Xiaoya, the guide, unexpectedly transformed the experience into a "historical adventure"! For three hours, she used her patience, compassion, and profound knowledge to transform the artifacts into stories that spoke to the child. 💐
She bent over, squatted, and half-knelt to connect with the child at eye level, even holding her hand to look at things she couldn't see. Even when the child asked seemingly irrelevant questions, she smiled and offered a variety of answers and praise. The tenderness in her voice touched me. It turns out that patience isn't just about perfunctory responses; it's about embracing a child's curiosity as a treasure. I asked my daughter why she could listen so intently for three hours, and she said it was because Xiaoya's explanations were so captivating! Whether it was pottery, bronze artifacts, or statues, she transformed the boring details of the era and craftsmanship into something the child could understand. She always found the best angles for the child to view, and even used a tablet to show details about the artifacts and expand on the subject!
For three hours, Xiaoya showed me that good explanations aren't about imparting knowledge; they're about igniting a child's eyes. Next time I take my kids to a museum, I look forward to meeting someone like this who "puts love into their explanations."
Parents who have taken their kids to the Luoyang Museum highly recommend Xiaoya; it's an excellent value!
Teacher Dawei has rich professional knowledge and uses a relaxed and humorous way to explain in detail the historical stories behind each cultural relic in the exhibition hall, making the originally boring historical knowledge vivid and easy to understand.

The night view is more beautiful after turning on the lights. I recommend going there in the evening. The park is beautiful. It is difficult to park in the surrounding area. I hope that regular parking spaces can be planned. There are too many street vendors and the environment needs to be improved.
I came to Taiyuan for a concert and stopped by to play. The architectural design and park construction are really well done. I took my kids for a ride in the electric car and learned about many fruits and plants. It exceeded my expectations!

[Scenery] Stepping into the Xi'an Museum begins a profound dialogue with history. The museum boasts a rich collection, ranging from pristine bronzes from the pre-Qin period to exquisite artifacts from the Han and Tang dynasties, each piece bearing the weight of time. The museum's treasured tri-colored flying horse, with its swift and agile posture, seems poised to leap forth at any moment, awe-inspiring the exquisite craftsmanship of the ancients.
[Fun] Beyond the artifacts, the museum's architecture is also unique, skillfully blending traditional and modern elements. A stroll through its charm is a relaxing and enjoyable experience. The museum also boasts a highly realistic sand table display of the 108 Fangs of the Sui and Tang dynasties, transporting you back a thousand years. Don't miss this place when visiting Xi'an!
I absolutely rave about the Xi'an Museum. I couldn't get an appointment with the Shaanxi History Museum, so I had to use the Xi'an Museum as a substitute. The visit was fantastic. The issues of poor layout and crowds, as some reviews have mentioned, were completely absent. The Small Wild Goose Pagoda is absolutely stunning. The Wild Goose Pagoda Morning Bell lives up to its name. The cultural and creative products are super cute. I shopped a lot along the way. Each of the ten collections is truly remarkable. The instructor was very professional. To make up for our regret of not going to the Shaanxi History Museum, he even highlighted several of the museum's artifacts. The Xi'an Museum has the same large gold cake as the Shaanxi History Museum. The cultural and creative gold cake is incredibly realistic. Don't forget to buy one.

Along the Yellow River No. 1 Tourist Highway, the Stork Tower is a must-see! Climbing the tower offers unparalleled views of the Yellow River and Mount Hua (Qinling Mountains), and watching the sunset is truly breathtaking. It was drizzling today, but it stopped shortly after entering the park. The breeze on the sixth floor was incredibly refreshing. The Stork Tower is rich in history and culture, perfect for bringing children to learn about it. Parking is also convenient at the entrance, making it a perfect weekend getaway for the whole family. We started at the southern end of Yellow River No. 1 Tourist Highway and headed north, exploring everything along the way.
It was completely rebuilt later, and the address was selected after archaeological inference. It has the reputation of being one of the four famous towers. The view on the top of the tower is very good. You can look into the distance and feel the desire to see thousands of miles away as described by Wang Zhihuan. The scenic area is not big, so it is not necessary to come here specifically. If you want to have an in-depth tour of Yuncheng, you can consider it.
