    The daytime and nighttime views are both fantastic! 👍🏻 The park offers a variety of activities and is definitely worth a visit. We strolled around before dark and stayed until nightfall – the nighttime views were absolutely amazing! Next time, we'll definitely go with friends in a different season! ✌🏻

    My stay at the Furongge Hotel during my trip to Xi'an was an absolute stellar experience, definitely a five-star choice! The hotel's location is superb, right next to the west gate of the Tang Paradise, just a 2-minute walk from the park. A 5-minute walk to the right leads to the "Twelve Hours of Chang'an" themed street, and a few minutes' stroll away is the brightly lit Tang Dynasty Never Sleeping City. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda and Da Ci'en Temple are also within easy reach, making it super convenient to walk back to the hotel after a nighttime stroll. The surrounding area has convenient subway and bus services, making it easy to get to attractions such as the Shaanxi History Museum and Qujiang Pool Relics Park without having to worry about planning routes. The hotel's overall style is inspired by the Tang Dynasty, with a bright and spacious interior decorated with elegant Tang-style furnishings. The wooden furnishings are warm and textured, and the Tang paintings on the walls and exquisite ornaments exude ancient charm. Every step reveals a beautiful scene, creating a wonderful atmosphere. Wearing Hanfu in the lobby or courtyard makes for amazing photos, instantly giving you a sense of immersion in the Tang Dynasty. The guest rooms are clean, spacious, and bright, with soft and skin-friendly bedding. The butler service is also very thoughtful and attentive. Any needs after check-in are promptly addressed and resolved. In addition to a complimentary gift bag and exquisite welcome fruit, there is also a complimentary afternoon tea every day with a wide variety of delicious options, and a bedtime dessert in the evening. The attention to detail is truly remarkable!

    I first visited the Beilin Museum in 1988 and have done so several times over the years, with the ticket price never exceeding 10 yuan. This year, however, it jumped to 85 yuan. Since I was already there, I decided to take a look. I was surprised to find a massive new museum built behind the old buildings. Even after walking four floors and my legs gave out, I still hadn't seen half of it. It's a perfect blend of the oldest stone carvings and the most modern museum, definitely worth the ticket price. I'll definitely come back sometime in the future to explore it properly.

    I went to Xi'an Eternal Love Show with friends. Before the show started, we mustered up the courage to go into the haunted house… We screamed and clung to each other's arms the whole time—it was terrifying! But afterwards, it was quite thrilling. The tossing of the embroidered ball was fun; everyone was scrambling for it. The show itself was the highlight—the plot was fast-paced, the stage effects were amazing, and it was incredibly impressive. The water play area was filled with the laughter of children; it was so cheerful to watch. I'd definitely come back again if I have the chance.

    We couldn't get tickets to the big Shaanxi History Museum so we decided to visit this. Ticket by specific time slot is free to reserve via Trip.com. At the museum, need to exchange to paper tickets (by showing ID, entered during booking). The Museum is in a big park with Small Wild Goose Pagoda and several other scenic buildings (temples, exhibition halls). It's a lovely park to walk around in. There's a place to write wishes and ring a bell for anyone interested, We spent time walking around the park before going into the museum. It's a good and smallish museum, with more artifacts from the around the regions. Captions are in Chinese and English. There are some extra exhibition (3D) which we didn't go to.The park is a short walk from a few metro stations ; Nanshaomen (near the North Gate) and Tiyuchang (close to the Stadium). If one cannot get tickets to the Shaanxi Museum, this is good enough in my opinion.

    Stepping into the Qinling Wildlife Park, you're greeted by lush greenery and a refreshing atmosphere. The drive-through safari in the predator enclosure is thrilling, with lions and tigers strolling leisurely and exuding power. The petting zoo offers close-up interactions with adorable red pandas and giraffes. A leisurely stroll through the park, listening to birdsong and watching animals play, allows you to connect with nature and heal your mind and body. You can experience the vitality of the animals while relaxing and having a truly enjoyable time.

    Superb! A big thumbs up! 👍 The professional explanations were incredibly insightful; a huge thumbs up to Ms. Wang Shan, no wonder she has a formal history background! I've visited many museums, but I never expected Shaanxi Archaeology to provide such a wonderful experience. Highly recommended!!
