It is an amazing place. You get to feel the history and also the Lishan Park is a beautiful place to walk with the nature.
Breathtaking experience! I went in November after Chinese national holidays were over, so it wasn’t very crowded. If you’re worrying about getting lost there (the territory is pretty huge), don’t worry, even if you come alone, there are plenty of guides walking around and offering their services for 300 rmb only

If you have enough strong legs then you can visit and have a walk, although you can rent out bicycle to visit. But you can enjoy the scenery while walking not on cycle.
This was a great experience in Xi’an. We enjoyed hiring bicycles and riding as the sun went down. Lots to see from the wall and plenty of stops for photos.

There's only one path to Mount Hua, so I chose a one-day hike up north and a cable car down west, climbing the North Peak, Central Peak, East Peak, South Peak, and West Peak one by one, checking off classic and popular spots, and enjoying the magnificent natural and cultural landscapes. Checking the weather forecast, I was fortunate to have a sunny day to experience the autumn scenery of Mount Hua. The hike challenged my physical and endurance limits, and the cable car provided a thrilling and exhilarating experience, like standing on the edge of an abyss. The unique scenery of Mount Hua offered absolutely worth the price of admission. It was a very refreshing and completely satisfying trip.
I went in early November and was extremely satisfied. I climbed Mount Hua at night to watch the sunrise (North Peak, down from West Peak), and it was perfect. I visited all three peaks: East, West, South, North, and Central. The scenery was breathtaking. Highly recommended. I also tried the "Eagle Turns Over" and the "Skywalk."

Mind blowing decorations and performance! Highly recommend
The large-scale sound, light and electricity outdoor situational performance tells the story of the prosperous Tang Dynasty and the love story of Yang Guifei. The scene layout is full of technology. The night sky and the moon are displayed very realistically against the backdrop of Mount Li. The actors dance perfectly, and the lingering love is full of love. The fighting on the battlefield and the flames rising into the sky are very immersive, and the scene at that time is truly reproduced. It is very worth watching and it is also the best large-scale performance I have ever seen.

The scenic area is excellent. The management is very humane, giving you a more pleasant experience than expected. The staff in the lobby are very welcoming, and the pricing is transparent. A special photo shoot costs only 20 yuan and even includes costumes. Definitely worth a visit!
Tiger Mouth Waterfall is a place well worth visiting. In summer, the water volume is abundant, and standing on the bank, you truly feel as if the Yellow River is performing a grand chorus, roaring and crashing. The Yellow River also contains a lot of silt, and the splashing water is full of silt.

The ticket price is a bit expensive: 30 yuan per person. However, the bell tower is still worth going up, as there are cultural relics to appreciate. The view is even more beautiful at night when the tower is lit up.
Previously, I had only viewed it from a distance, but this time, climbing the tower gave me a more comprehensive understanding of its history, function, facilities, and architectural structure. Looking around from the top, the entire cityscape unfolded before me—a bustling commercial area with beautiful scenery. It was definitely worthwhile!

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.
I originally hadn’t planed to visit this place but I’m really glad that I did. It was so magical with all the lights and installments. I haven’t visited the show, but saw a part of it from the other side. I will definitely come back again to see the show.

Buying tickets online was very convenient; they were valid immediately. The bus ride was smooth, and the scenery along the way was beautiful. The waterfall was spectacular; the children were very impressed. The scenic area isn't large, but hearing the roar of the Yellow River made it all feel like the perfect arrangement! Highly recommended.
Hukou Waterfall, located in Hukou Town, Yichuan County, Yan'an City, Shaanxi Province, is adjacent to Hukou Town, Ji County, Linfen City, Shanxi Province. It is a famous waterfall on the main stream of the Yellow River, the second largest waterfall in China, and the largest yellow waterfall in the world.

The Shaanxi History Museum, located northwest of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in Xi'an, is a national comprehensive history museum with a collection of over 370,000 artifacts, systematically showcasing Shaanxi's glorious civilization from prehistoric times to modern times.
The Shaanxi History Museum in Xi'an is like a living history book. Spanning over 70,000 square meters, its Tang Dynasty-style architecture exudes a majestic grandeur. Upon entering, I was captivated by the bronze Fei Lian statue overhead. Warm yellow light shone on the slate-gray brick walls, casting a gentle veil over history.
The glass cabinets in the exhibition hall resemble time capsules, housing over 370,000 artifacts. When the instructor explained that 18 national treasures were hidden here, my eyes were immediately drawn to the rusted bronze artifacts. A large tripod with Taotie patterns from the Shang and Zhou dynasties stood quietly, as if guarding a secret from thousands of years ago.
The ancient human exhibits astonished me most. Clinging to the glass, I strained to identify the skull fossil of the Lantian Man—this Shaanxi native, 1.15 million years ago, could actually scrape animal skins with stone flakes! A nearby interactive model demonstrated how to make fire by drilling wood together, and the dancing flames reflected on the delighted faces of the children.

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.
