The scenic spot is excellent, with a strong cultural atmosphere, and the overall cleanliness is acceptable.
It's truly impressive. However, the only thing I wasn't happy with was the bridge. There's a deliberately designed gap in the middle, and I accidentally fell into it. [Fifth Photo]
The Tang Paradise is indeed beautiful, but it costs 130 yuan for a small place, and 39 yuan for a battery car. It's not fair. The attractions in Xi'an are really unambiguous in charging. It's better in Guangzhou, where basically no tickets are required for attractions, or they are very cheap. They are too kind to tourists.

I highly recommend The Longest Day in Chang'an. The food, drinks, and entertainment options are all pretty good, and the prices aren't expensive. However, you should consider the dress-up shop inside. The prices aren't expensive, but the service is terrible, and they're just a bunch of sloppy stuff. Other than that, everything else is pretty good. The two-day package is definitely a great value! I'll definitely come back next time.
It's warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Every performer and staff member is so warm and welcoming, like Tangren... and they're also very willing to interact with tourists. Plus, the men are incredibly stylish, tall and handsome 😎, and the women are incredibly beautiful and eye-catching! Everyone, come and check it out! It's definitely worth checking out.

Xi'an is incredibly hot this season, and the Daming Palace, with no shade at all, is even more unbearable. The shuttle bus seems to have stopped running due to the lack of people. I only visited the Danfengmen Museum, where the explanations were relatively simple. Overall, I was a little disappointed.
The visit to the Daming Palace Ruins Park gave us a very intuitive understanding of the Tang Dynasty Daming Palace. Its area is four times the size of the Forbidden City in Beijing. The two museums in the park use the Daming Palace as a link to connect the history of the Tang Dynasty, which is great!

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 Xi'an Eternal Love performance was very nice, and there were many free entertainment programs. The scenery in the scenic area was also very beautiful, and the photos and answers were very good. Next time I will bring my family here to play.

Today's visit to the Xi'an Forest of Steles Museum with our guide, Huang Yifan, was incredibly rewarding. His explanations were professional, engaging, and truly impressive.
Speaking of the "Shitai Filial Piety Classic," Huang explained that it was personally prefaced, annotated, and inscribed by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Li Longji. The official script on the stele exudes elegance and grandeur. He also drew upon the text of the Classic of Filial Piety to explain the contemporary philosophy of "governing the world with filial piety," providing a deeper understanding of Tang Dynasty culture.
Speaking of Yan Zhenqing, Huang detailed his calligraphy style. His strong and powerful style reflects his integrity. He also shared stories about Yan Zhenqing's life, allowing us to appreciate his calligraphy while also experiencing his charisma.
Regarding Wang Xizhi, Huang focused on his running script. He described Wang Xizhi's calligraphy as elegant and dynamic, particularly his "Lanting Preface," which is hailed as "the best running script in the world." Huang also shared some anecdotes about Wang Xizhi's calligraphy practice, making us feel a sense of familiarity with the master calligrapher.
During his lectures, Huang skillfully incorporated the Analects and the Book of Songs. For example, when discussing filial piety, he quoted lines from the Analects; when discussing ancient social life, he referred to passages from the Book of Songs, allowing us to appreciate the profoundness of traditional culture.
Huang's explanations were insightful and accessible, making them engaging even for those of us with limited knowledge of calligraphy and history. This visit was truly worthwhile. Thank you, Huang, for your wonderful explanations!
Our guide, Huang Yifan, was fantastic! The tour lasted over two hours, and he was incredibly knowledgeable about every stele in the Forest of Steles. He explained everything from the historical context of the Kaicheng Stone Classics to the cultural significance of the Nestorian Stele, explaining everything in a simple and accessible way. Most impressively, he combined the evolution of calligraphy with his discussion of the Shitai Filial Piety Classic. Pointing to the strokes on the stele, he said, "Look at the structure of the character 'filial piety'; it captures the ancient people's reverence for their elders." This instantly brought the dull stele to life.
He also paid attention to our interests. Seeing someone poring over the inscription on Yan Zhenqing's stele, he elaborated on the vigorous style of Yan's calligraphy and the calligrapher's life story, creating a compelling narrative. The pace was perfect, ensuring we weren't rushed or dragged out, and he even proactively pointed out good photo angles. At the end, he even recommended nearby restaurants—a truly thoughtful touch! A full score to such a professional and enthusiastic guide!

I highly recommend finding a museum guide to guide you during your visit. You can learn a lot of historical knowledge. Our guide was very knowledgeable, knew the cultural relics like the back of his hand, and answered our questions very patiently.
Teacher Wu's lecture was great. The children followed closely and listened attentively. When he talked about the special points, he interspersed modern culture. Like it. Like it. Like it. Like it.

The tour guide Xiao Qin explained in great detail and had a wealth of knowledge. He covered every venue and gave very detailed explanations of the key cultural relics. He answered all the questions and interacted a lot with the children.
Teacher Qin Yao's explanation was the most exciting of all the explanations in this Xi'an trip. The whole 3-hour explanation was compact, logical, exciting, and comprehensive. The 3-hour explanation was not watered down at all. The 11-year-old listened very carefully and gained a lot. The Archaeological Museum was the end of this four-day trip to Xi'an. Because of Teacher Qin's explanation, it became the most impressive museum. At the same time, our family got to know Xi'an, the ancient capital of 13 dynasties, again. Thank you very much, Teacher Qin. I sincerely recommend Teacher Qin.

It is a very worthwhile destination, especially for traveling with children. The park is located in the Qinling Mountains. It has a large venue, rich animal species, convenient transportation facilities within the park, and friendly prices. The performances at Shanglinyuan are wonderful.
It's quite good. I went there with my son ten years ago. This year I took my daughter there again. It might be during the May Day holiday. There were so many people that I bought tickets for the beast area but couldn't get on the bus.
