Tang Paradise: An Immersive Feast for a Timeless Tang Dynasty Experience
For an immersive experience of the grandeur of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Paradise is a must-see on any trip to Xi'an. Designed according to the architectural style of Tang Dynasty imperial gardens, the Ziyun Tower boasts magnificent eaves and brackets. From the tower, you can overlook the entire waterscape, evoking a sense of imperial banquets.
During the day, explore the Ladies' Hall to see an exhibition of Tang Dynasty costumes, and experience the culture of the imperial examinations in the Apricot Garden. At night, the "Dreaming of the Tang Dynasty" water curtain film and light show heightens the atmosphere. The shimmering water reflects the vibrant dance of feathered costumes, bringing the romance and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty to life before your very eyes.
Although some areas require separate tickets and are often crowded on holidays, the meticulous restoration of Tang culture, from architectural details to cultural performances, is evident, making it an ideal place to experience the aesthetics and life of the era.
The Sheraton Xi'an North City Hotel was a great experience.
The lobby is luxuriously decorated, and it's conveniently located right next to Metro Line 2 and a shopping mall.
The front desk and room service were proactive and friendly, and housekeeping was extremely responsive.
The breakfast was rich and varied, and the Chinese restaurant on the third floor offered delicious dishes, attentive service, and a complimentary fruit platter.
The amenities were comprehensive, and the heated swimming pool was perfect for relaxing.
I came here for National Day holiday and originally planned to stay for two days, but I enjoyed it so much that I extended my stay for two more.

The large-scale real-life immersive experience is quite good. Even without makeup, it has a sense of time travel. The NPCs have a good sense of rhythm and are well-involved. It is not messy during the festival.
The performances were quite good. I recommend the Rainbow Feather Dance, the acrobatics, and the Yan Music.
I loved playing games with the NPCs. Ning, Xuan, Wang, and many other girls and boys were super fun, perfect for adults. I played the Nine Links game with Xuanzang two or three times, and it got the master going crazy. 😂

It's definitely worth a visit, and there are very few people. The museum and the Daming Palace documentary are great! I recommend going to the museum first, then buying a pass for the train and battery car, then taking the battery car to see the ruins, and then taking the train to walk around the park outside.
Daming Palace National Heritage Park is a world cultural heritage site. The scenery on the ground is nice and has a desolate beauty, but there are not many sights left. The museum introduction is still good.

Overall, the experience was good. The view of Kuimen Gate from Baidi Temple was excellent. The island of Baidicheng was filled with the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus. A free ferry takes you to the other side. Those with the energy can hike to the summit of the Three Gorges for a spectacular 5-hour walk. Those who don't want to climb can return to the fortress, where monkeys are teeming with food for 5 yuan, which might be a delight for children. You can also take a boat tour from the ferry for a deeper exploration of Qutang Gorge, but it's not a big deal; the 50-minute round trip is just the experience of cruising the river.
Baidi City and Qutang Gorge Scenic Area (5A) (Figure 1).
Baidi City is located on Baidi Mountain on the north bank of the Yangtze River in Fengjie County, adjacent to Kuimen, the gateway to Qutang Gorge. Originally connected to the mainland, Baidi Mountain became an island after the construction of the Three Gorges Dam, due to rising water levels (Figure 2). Baidi City primarily reflects the culture of the Three Kingdoms period.
Entering the scenic area, you'll cross a 338-meter-long wind and rain covered bridge. This bridge, modeled after Han Dynasty architecture, is the only access point from the Baidi City scenic area to the mainland (Figure 3).
After crossing the bridge, you'll see Zhongyi Square, where a bronze statue of Zhuge Liang stands. Behind the statue is the "Chu Shi Biao" (The Memorial to the Emperor on Leaving the Capital), carved from fine white marble (Figure 4).
Then, you'll climb over 360 steps to the Baidi Temple (Figure 5), the highest point of Baidi City. Inside, you'll find Mingliang Hall (Figure 6), Tuogu Hall (Figure 7), Wuhou Shrine, and the Stargazing Pavilion, among other Ming and Qing dynasty buildings. The temple also displays numerous inscriptions of poetry and cultural relics from the Sui and Tang dynasties. Poets throughout history, including Li Bai, Du Fu, and Su Shi, visited Baidi City and left behind numerous poems, earning it the nickname "Poetry City." The most famous of these is Li Bai's "Early Departure from Baidi City."
There's an observation deck behind the mountain, offering a stunning view of the "Mighty Kuimen Gate," a must-see. The view is featured on the back of the 10-yuan RMB (see Figure 8). The peak in the distance is the "Top of the Three Gorges," the physical summit of the Three Gorges at an altitude of 1,388 meters.
At 10:30 AM, board a cruise ship from Zhongyi Wharf to explore the Qutang Gorge. Sit on the third deck, enjoying the gentle river breeze and listening to the guide's eloquent introductions, while admiring the beautiful scenery along both sides of the gorge. Along the cliffs along the coast, there are numerous cliff carvings by famous figures (see Figure 9). It's said the original carvings have been submerged, and the ones we see today are replicas.
The boat returns to the pier after 50 minutes of sailing, and the tour ends.

Xi'an Eternal Love is indeed a great place for sightseeing and entertainment. The light show at night is very nice, and the Eternal Love stage play is also one of the must-see items. The wire hanging in the theater is amazing, the scene is realistic, and it has historical and cultural value.
Bringing children to experience the Eternal Love has a unique artistic conception. Every scene is very shocking. The scenes in the text are interpreted realistically. The actors are emotional and vivid. The most touching thing is that when immersed in the situational drama, even the horses are very cooperative. Next time I will bring my parents to experience it together

Huang Yifan's explanation was vivid and informative, and the originally scheduled two-hour lecture lasted about two and a half hours. I listened to the entire lecture with gusto and gained a lot of historical knowledge and interesting anecdotes. The museum's 85 yuan ticket price was well worth it.
I visited the new Forest of Steles for the first time after its completion and was completely blown away. I planned to spend two hours exploring it, but it ended up taking over four. There are so many items, and the exhibitions are so interactive. While the ticket price is 20 yuan higher than before, it's definitely worth it!

A must-see performance in Xi'an, at the Heping Village Cross, the venue is very spacious, comfortable and high-end, the dance drama is very exciting, and the Zhouzhi bus passes by, which is also very convenient for Zhouzhi people.
It's worth watching, very vivid and immersive. You can also play mini-games while waiting. I was lucky enough to draw two first prizes, which are two three-dimensional books. The plot is a little simplified, but the color matching and lighting effects of the martial arts are very good. I will watch it again. It is worth recommending

The hotel is easy to find, right next to Wuyue Plaza. It's quite new. I booked a family room, which was spacious and gave me a good night's sleep. The breakfast was a little simple, though; a little more variety would have been appreciated. Overall, it was quite good.
I thought they were Ctrip's tour guides, looking for flags at the visitor center, but they turned out to be official museum staff. The Xi'an Museum and the Shaanxi History Museum have a lot of overlap, and I visited both venues. They saw the same things, like gold cakes, golden dragons, and terracotta figurines buried with Zhu Yuanzhang's fourth-generation grandson. I felt the explanations here were more detailed. I especially enjoyed Professor Li's introduction to the current value of various cultural relics; it was very unique.

The former residence of Gao Yue Song worth to visit especially the experiences of watching performance “shadow puppetry “
Gao Family Mansion is a beautifully preserved traditional courtyard house located right in the heart of Xi’an’s Muslim Quarter. Once home to a wealthy merchant family during the Ming and Qing dynasties, it showcases elegant architecture, intricate wood carvings, and period furniture that give a glimpse into old Xi’an life. The highlight is often the shadow puppet performance held in one of the courtyards—an atmospheric way to experience local culture. Although not very large, it’s a quiet escape from the busy food street outside and worth a short visit if you enjoy history, architecture, and traditional arts.

Now is the off-season, the price is relatively cheap, the total tour time is 3.5 hours, the scenery is pleasant, although there are no red leaves, but the mountains and rivers, embrace nature, feel the magic of nature. You can come again when the mountains are covered with red leaves.
The whole journey takes 4 hours, so you need to plan ahead. The scenery of Xiao Sanxia is very good, the water is very clean, and the tour guide introduced it in detail. I recommend buying chicken jerky on the return trip, which tastes good. It is still a bit hot to visit during the summer vacation. It is recommended to come in late autumn and early winter, when you can see the red leaves all over the mountain.
