The scenery is nice. It imitates the garden and architectural style of the Tang Dynasty. It seems that the investment is not small, so the ticket is also expensive. There is a free musical instrument performance at 11 o'clock. It mainly introduces the ancient Chinese music notation and several musical instruments. The audience is also allowed to participate in the playing of the big drum. It is quite interesting and I learned a little knowledge. It is good.
Aside from the expensive entrance fee, there's nothing wrong with it.
Although it's artificially landscaped, it's clearly been carefully crafted, with a breathtaking view at every step, perfect for photos. Sitting quietly in the courtyard for a day is also a great option. It's great that Xi'an attractions offer free admission to senior citizens.

If you are wondering if it's worth it is. I recommended giving it a shot. It was so beautiful, you are like in a real c-drama. I felt amazing. If I have another chance, I will definitely go again. 😍
It's a very photogenic place, but it's not very big. You can finish the tour in a short while, and two hours is enough to watch the show. Generally speaking, you can come and have a look, but don't be too special. For girls, it is recommended that they wear Tang suits and Hanfu when they go shopping.

In September, a vast field of pink daisy blossoms bloomed beside the Taiye Lake near the Daming Palace, creating the most gentle and dreamy scene—perfect for photoshoots! Go check it out, ladies!
The refreshing autumn breeze is perfect for a garden tour. Wander through the Daming Palace Ruins Park and experience the richness of history.
After entering the Daming Palace Ruins, you can first visit the Danxia Gate Museum. The park provides its own guided tours, and you can watch an animated re-creation of the bustling Danxia Gate scene on screen.
Inside the park is the Daming Palace Museum, where you can savor the glittering artifacts, witness the emperor holding court in the Xuanzheng Hall, and experience interactive activities where you can try out ancient costumes for yourself. The museum also hides scenes of the residents' lives after the demolition, including locked faucets and old doors and windows, all of which evoke memories of the past.
There's also a massive miniature Daming Palace, offering a glimpse into its once magnificent splendor. The bird's-eye view of the magnificent building is truly captivating. At the end of the Willow Scenic Area lies Taiye Pond. It's the season for the pink daisy, and a vast expanse of tender pink flowers greets the view, blending seamlessly with the Daming Palace's back gardens. It's a truly beautiful autumn scene, well worth a visit. The outer perimeter of the scenic area is free, but the inner area requires a separate ticket. It's quite large and requires extensive walking. For those who can't walk, there's a separate ticket for the park bus, which allows you to hop on and off at will. A must-see for history lovers!
I visited it twice. It was very beautiful, super big, and had a sense of history. However, it happened to be during the Lantern Festival, which ruined the atmosphere a bit. But it is still a place worth visiting.

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 flow of movement, the quality of the exhibits, the scale of viewing, the display methods, the multi-panel illustrations and annotations, the multimedia interaction, the organized flow of knowledge, the specialized subdivisions and progressions, even the scented accents on the magnifying glass holders...
The best museum in my opinion!
There are so many great things to see that I couldn't see them all in one day. I'll definitely go back next time. Make sure to buy the fridge magnets and other cultural products inside; some styles aren't available outside! The air conditioning in the North Building is low, so remember to dress your children warmly.

The Xi’an Museum is a compact yet rich cultural spot that combines history, art, and architecture. Located next to the Small Wild Goose Pagoda, it offers a calm and less crowded experience compared to other Xi’an attractions. The exhibitions showcase relics from the Tang dynasty, ancient ceramics, Buddhist statues, and city history, giving visitors a solid introduction to Xi’an’s long heritage. The museum is well-organized, free to enter (with ID), and surrounded by peaceful gardens that make it a pleasant place to stroll. It’s not overwhelming in size, making it easy to explore within 1–2 hours—perfect for anyone looking to balance sightseeing with a more relaxed cultural visit.
Since I didn't get to make it to the Shaanxi History Museum (even paying for it wouldn't have been possible [breaks into laughter]), I opted for the Xi'an Museum instead. It was quite fun to just wander around casually. Xi'an truly is a treasure trove of cultural relics!
The Xi'an Museum is right next to the Small Wild Goose Pagoda. After visiting the museum, I decided to stop by and try the highly rated Xi'an Museum Cultural Restaurant. Perfect 😍

Just blown away by the performance, music, stage. Didn’t understand the language but can guess what going on. Absolutely recommend
The first stop on the first day of landing in Xi'an was to watch the mighty Qin Dynasty. It is worth watching. It lasts for two hours. The stage design and special effects are highly recommended. At the end, the First Emperor said to the soldiers, "A hundred years later, you will accompany me and I will accompany you." It was quite touching.

To see a thousand miles, one must ascend to a higher level.
The Stork Tower is a remarkable ancient structure. Modern renovations have kept it vibrant. Climb it and marvel at the majestic Yellow River.
I've been there twice, and the experience of climbing the Stork Tower is truly remarkable: each level requires gradual progress; it's impossible to achieve everything overnight. This reminds us that in pursuing our life goals, we must follow the principle of gradual progress. No great achievement is achieved overnight; it's the result of long-term accumulation and unremitting effort. We must be down-to-earth, starting with the little things, and constantly accumulating experience and knowledge to lay a solid foundation for achieving our life goals.

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.
• 9:00-9:30: Open the door and enter the courtyard. First, touch the imperial plaque "Bangyan Jidi" and take an empty photo without anyone around.
• 9:30-11:30: From the Yingzi Hall (guest reception) and Ningrui Hall (waiting area for female relatives) in the front courtyard, to the central hall (master bedroom + Wenbao Pavilion treasure room) and the study room fire bed (where imperial examination masters study at night) in the middle courtyard, to the private school, ancestral hall, and young lady's boudoir in the backyard, explore the three courtyards of the building.
• 11:30-12:00: Go to the Dafeng Tang stage to watch the Huayin Laoqiang performance.

The variety of animals here is still acceptable, but I recently visited several other zoos and found that the animals here are not very happy. I hope that one day this place can be like Chimelong, where the animals can live happily.
The Qinling Wildlife Park is fantastic, with a rich variety of animals and great air near the Qinling Mountains. This is my second time here. My last visit was in the winter of 2024, but I arrived late and didn't see everything. Transportation is a bit inconvenient, and I recommend getting a subway line soon. 🚇 This zoo is a classic, and I'll be back sometime.
