Beautiful place to visit, great if you have time to slowly stroll as the area is very big. For a better experience, check the show times and plan the visit accordingly
Beautiful area, not crowded on a Friday. We went to have our pictures taken for our Hanfu experience around sunset and walked around afterwards to enjoy the night scenery. Lots of people taking pictures around the northeast gate.

Strolling through the streets of Chang'an Twelve Hours, the melodious sounds of ancient music fill the air, the fragrance of sandalwood permeates the atmosphere, and exquisite Tang Dynasty handicrafts are on display everywhere, making it a place you'll want to linger.
Online reviews for "The Longest Day in Chang'an" are mixed, but I had a great experience. The set design and atmosphere are excellent, the actors in the immersive performance are very professional, and it's highly recommended [applause]. It's so much better than the crowded "Tang Dynasty Never Sleeps City" where you can't even see the actors.

Shaanxi History Museum: Advance reservations are required. It has 7 halls; halls 1, 2, and 3 are closed for renovations. Halls 4 and 5 are very small; the main exhibits are in halls 6 and 7. A guided tour of halls 6 and 7 costs approximately 350 yuan and takes about 2 hours. There is no self-guided audio guide. It's quite expensive.
Da Ci'en Temple: There is a free incense offering area. Climbing the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is not included; an additional fee is required. It takes about an hour to see everything.
The musical fountain at the North Square of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is magnificent and beautiful. There are two shows at 8 pm and 9 pm, each about 20 minutes long, worth watching. Afterwards, I strolled to the Tang Paradise. This was my second visit; it wasn't anything new, just a commercial street with no shows, and the food was very expensive.
Daming Palace National Heritage Park: This was my second visit. It wasn't crowded during the week. Enter through Danfeng Gate. There's a Danfeng Gate Museum; a combined ticket allows entry. At the exit, there's a mini-train (39 yuan per person) that circles the outside of the Daming Palace National Heritage Park. From the exit, walk across the bridge to the ticket checkpoint. After entering, I recommend taking the park's electric shuttle bus. It costs 29 yuan per person, 39 yuan per person during peak season, to reach the Daming Palace Ruins Museum. I suggest buying the Ctrip all-inclusive ticket for 88 yuan, which includes the entrance fee (60 yuan), the shuttle bus, and a free guided tour. The visit inside takes about 40 minutes. After exiting the museum, you'll see a miniature landscape of Daming Palace. After viewing the miniature landscape, you can take the shuttle bus to tour the entire site. You can get off at any time, but it's not really necessary; you can see everything from the bus. The shuttle bus also provides commentary. It goes all the way to the park exit.
Xi'an City Wall
I entered from the south entrance of Yongning Gate and exited from Hanguang Gate, which took about 40 minutes. If you walk and rest occasionally, it should take about half an hour. It's very sunny in the morning during this season; I recommend going in the evening if you're in summer. There are also bicycles for rent on the city wall for 45 yuan for 3 hours.
Stepping into the Daming Palace Ruins Park, a restored Danfeng Gate stands in the spacious square, and the imperial road paved with blue bricks stretches into the distance. The ruins display areas on both sides use modern technology to recreate the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

I visited the Forest of Steles ten years ago and had a wonderful experience. Unlike most people, my primary focus when visiting the Forest of Steles was the Xuanmi Pagoda Stele, because I've practiced the Liu style of calligraphy since childhood. Seeing the actual inscription on site back then felt very personal and intimate.
Last year, I heard that the Forest of Steles had a new building and a redesigned exhibition, and I've been thinking of visiting it again on my next trip to Xi'an. This time, after seeing the North Hall's exhibition, I felt it was indeed excellent. The environment and space were much better than the old hall, and the text descriptions were both informative and concise. Also, most of the ancient steles no longer had their glass covers, allowing visitors to get up close and have a more direct experience.
In short, it's beneficial to read and have direct contact with ancient Chinese culture—such opportunities are rare. The only downside was that the huge exhibition hall didn't even have a café or a place to refuel; there was only a vending machine selling only one type of mineral water, which forced me to leave early…
Of course, if you're not particularly interested in calligraphy or ancient Chinese history and culture, I personally advise against visiting.
A must-see for calligraphy and ancient book enthusiasts, this exhibition features many masterpieces whose works have survived for centuries, a testament to the advantage and significance of stone carvings. The tomb of Li Xiaohai is also included in one of the exhibition areas, highlighting its immense prestige at the time.

I fell in love with Xi'an on my first trip there, and this show is definitely a must-see. There's also a haunted house, and people can take photos with the characters. Of course, there are also snacks available if you get hungry, although the taste isn't great. Overall, the show was very entertaining.
The Xi'an Qianguqing Scenic Area is clean and tidy, with beautifully landscaped gardens and small surprises everywhere. The Qianguqing performance was beautiful, exciting, and truly captivating. I'm still savoring the performance after returning home. The theater itself is also clean and tidy, with clear signage, so you don't have to worry about getting lost. There are also plenty of rest areas, so you can rest whenever you feel tired.

Fantastic performers, fantabulous experience and wonderful venues. The minus thing is the patrons of the locals some couldn’t keep quiet while watching
Absolutely stunning, grand scale, and a large cast and crew who all gave their all; the most worthwhile performance in Xi'an. However, the design of the stairs outside the main entrance is utterly incompetent and incredibly inconvenient. It's especially difficult for elderly people to navigate. Why not just have a parallel entrance instead of these long stairs? A truly idiotic design.

The guide, Mr. Li Jiang, was very helpful and his explanations were comprehensive. The Xi'an Museum also has some excellent exhibits and is quite spacious. It's best to visit both indoors and outdoors when the weather is nice.
In autumn, the Xi'an Museum is ablaze with red persimmons and golden ginkgo leaves, creating a unique and photogenic atmosphere. Of course, the cultural relics in the Xi'an Museum are also well worth seeing, such as the tricolor flying horse, the Qin jade cup, and the interlocking cloud and thunder pattern cauldron... Each artifact has a different story and historical culture.

Climbing to the top of the Stork Tower, one can gaze at the Yellow River where the water meets the sky, and the expansive view instantly relaxes the mind; going downstairs, touching the ancient bricks and listening to the sound of the copper bells on the eaves in the wind, one is overwhelmed by a sense of history.

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.

It was fun, there were few people and many animals, it was very comfortable and my baby was very happy. It was just that we didn't have much time to catch a plane. We will definitely go there again next time we go to Xi'an.
Location: Get off at Changning Palace Station, the terminus of Line 2. You can take a direct bus or taxi. Since we were a large group, we took a taxi. The bus should depart at half past or on the hour. The return bus will be full, so it's 10 yuan per person.
Overall Experience: When visiting the Four Treasures of the Qinling Mountains, the panda enclosure is at the very back. There's no Qizi here! No Qizi! Don't go the wrong way. Everyone should check the weather before traveling to avoid a disappointing experience.
