Datang Furong Garden is a good place, with daytime scenery during the day, night scenery at night, and Hanfu experience. Overall, the night view is more beautiful, and the location is good, the traffic is very convenient, not bad.
It is definitely the best light show. There is no one. I don’t think there is a good Datang Furong Garden anywhere. There are many beautiful lights. It is very shocking to take the elderly and children to play. There is also a light show. The garden is very large and the time for shopping is short.

Hukou Waterfall, a natural wonder you must see in your lifetime💥
The water of the Yellow River comes from the sky, rushes to the sea and never returns. Hukou Waterfall is really a place you will regret if you don’t go there once❗
📍Location: Located at the junction of Shaanxi and Shanxi, it can be viewed from both sides, but the perspective is slightly different. The Shaanxi side is higher and has a wide field of view, suitable for panoramic viewing; the Shanxi side is closer to the waterfall, and you can feel the majestic momentum of the waterfall.
The one-day tour of Xiaoxitian, Guangsheng Temple, and Hukou Waterfall is perfect! The hanging sculptures of Xiaoxitian are exquisite, as if you have stepped into the fairyland of Buddhism; the Feihong Tower of Guangsheng Temple is dazzling, and the Yuan Dynasty murals are shocking; the Hukou Waterfall is majestic, and the water of the Yellow River rushes down, which is shocking. The itinerary is compact but the experience is rich, the tour guide is professional and detailed, and the scenery along the way is picturesque. You can see the natural wonders and the thousand-year-old culture in one day. It is highly recommended!

The waterfall looks shocking, that is, there are more people, so it is a bit crowded, the transportation is convenient, I went with my boyfriend, took a lot of good-looking photos, the charge for eating in the scenic spot is also reasonable, come back next time
Lend the platform to give a wake-up and avoid thunder to friends who only want to go to Yan'an South Bus Station to take the Hukou Waterfall through train. After the shuttle bus successfully exits the bus station, it will eventually be sold to the tour group for a day trip, and then be given a PUA by the tour guide to promote the self-funded project.

The beauty of Datang Evernight City, that is really a lingering one! When night fell, the entire scenic spot seemed to have passed back to the Shengtang period, with brilliant lights and dazzling eyes. Walking on the street, the ancient buildings on both sides are lit with antique, as if every step is on the history. Those exquisite sculptures and decorations, each reveal a strong cultural heritage and artistic atmosphere. Especially those performances and light shows, it is the prosperity and glory of Datang to be displayed in full, people feel like they are in that grand world, feeling the unique charm and charm.
In the evening, we came to the foot of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in Qujiang New District. In the antique building complex, I tiptoed the first mutton soaked in the thick sputum soaked in delicious soup. Turning my head to the sky, the sunset was draping the Wild Goose Pagoda with gold yarn. When the lanterns on the street were on, the whole pedestrian street suddenly woke up. The music fountain sounded cheerfully, and the colorful columns shuttled between the water curtains. The tree of the walkway did not know when it was covered with flowing clothes, and the outline of the ginkgo more than three meters high was magical, and the lamp beads on the branches swayed, as if tens of thousands of fireflies were in the swirling.

The Daming Palace was built in the eighth year of the Zhenguan reign of the Tang Dynasty (634 AD) and served as the ruling center of the Tang Dynasty for more than 200 years. In the first year of Tianyou reign of the Tang Dynasty (904), the Daming Palace was destroyed and turned into ruins.
On October 1, 2010, Daming Palace National Heritage Park was completed and opened to the public. The main palaces include Hanyuan Hall, Linde Hall, Sanqing Hall, Qingsi Hall, Xuanzheng Hall and Zichen Hall. Covering a total area of about 3.84 square kilometers, the ruins park continues the historical layout of the Daming Palace in the Tang Dynasty. From south to north, along the Danfeng Gate - Hanyuan Hall - Xuanzheng Hall - Zichen Hall - Xuanwu Gate - Chongxuan Gate, it is the central axis and is divided into three major areas: the area in front of the hall, the palace area, and the palace garden area.
The area that charges admission is the palace area, and the other three-quarters of the area are free of charge. The ruins are basically a mound of earth, and there is not much to see. Come here just to feel the grandeur of the Daming Palace.
Walking in the ruins of Daming Palace, you can feel the historical context from thousands of years ago.
Although it is just a microscopic Daming Palace, it is shocking enough. The tour guide who comes with the package is also good and explains in detail. It is a good historical and cultural attraction.

It’s the fifth time I’ve come to play. Every time I come, it’s a very interesting experience. The actors are professionally performing and wonderful. The NPCs are very interesting. The Datang culture is very rich. In short, every time I come to Xi’an, I must go to the twelve hours. It’s very fun! Very recommended 👍
It is a large indoor immersive experience block. If you like this model, it feels really good. We arrived before 10 o'clock in order to open the market. After entering, on the second and negative first floors, there is a feeling of crossing. It would be better if you put on clothes for tourists for free. There are many performances inside, I prefer karaoke, Taibai wine restaurant, Hou Ji wine restaurant, tiles juggling, shadow play, and a scene performance in Chang'an's 12 hours, all kinds of food.

Xi'an Eternal Love is far from the city center. You need to take the subway and take a bus. It takes about 40 minutes to take a taxi. There are many small performances in the scenic area and large-scale performances in Xi'an Eternal Love can be watched. We have more tourists in the past on May 1st, the experience is not very good, many performances have not been seen, the experience should be much better when there are fewer tourists on weekdays!
As always, Songcheng has not disappointed. I saw a lot of performances before coming to Xi'an. I chose a few this time. Generally speaking, the ancient love is still the best.

The weather has been very hot recently, so it is suitable for night tours. Renting a bicycle and riding around the city wall is a great view. There are not many tourists in mid-May. It was noon when we went there. It was too sunny, and there were many young ladies in Warring States robes on it, which was a beautiful sight.
Get off at Zhonglou Station on Metro Line 6 and walk a short distance to the destination.
If you are also considering going to the Zhonglou, you can buy tickets together for 50 yuan, and it will cost 10 yuan more if you buy them separately. There are also several stamps to collect here.

Da Ci'en Temple is the ancestral temple of the Consciousness-Only School, one of the "Eight Sects of Buddhism" in China, and one of the three major translation sites in Chang'an during the Tang Dynasty. It has a history of more than 1,350 years. Da Ci'en Temple is the most famous and magnificent Buddhist temple in Chang'an City during the Tang Dynasty. It was built by imperial decree of the Li Tang royal family. In the 22nd year of Emperor Taizong of Tang's Zhenguan reign (648), Crown Prince Li Zhi founded Ci'en Temple in memory of his mother, Empress Wende Changsun. Xuanzang presided over the temple affairs here, led the translation site of Buddhist scriptures, and founded the Consciousness-Only School, one of the eight major sects of Chinese Buddhism, and became the ancestral temple of the Consciousness-Only School.
The Big Wild Goose Pagoda in Da Ci'en Temple was also supervised by Xuanzang himself. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda was built in the third year of Emperor Gaozong of Tang's Yonghui reign (652) by Master Xuanzang to offer scriptures, statues, and relics brought back from India. The tower is 64.5 meters high and has seven floors. The bottom of the tower is square cone-shaped, and each side of the bottom floor is 25 meters long. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is the earliest and largest existing square pavilion-style brick pagoda from the Tang Dynasty. In the 32nd year of the Wanli reign of the Ming Dynasty (1604), the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was renovated again, which was a major repair and reinforcement project. While maintaining the basic shape of the tower from the Tang Dynasty, a 60-centimeter-thick cladding was built on the exterior, which is the Big Wild Goose Pagoda we see today.
Da Ci'en Temple is located at No. 1 Ci'en Road, Yanta District, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province. It is the ancestral temple of the Consciousness-Only School of Chinese Buddhism and one of the three major translation sites in Chang'an during the Tang Dynasty. It has a history of more than 1,350 years.
The following is a detailed introduction:
Historical Origin
• Construction: It was founded in the ninth year of Kaihuang in the Sui Dynasty (589) and was originally named Wulou Temple. In the twenty-first year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty (647), Crown Prince Li Zhi expanded the temple in memory of his mother, Empress Wende, and renamed it Da Ci'en Temple.
• Development: During the Tang Dynasty, Da Ci'en Temple was built on a large scale, occupying half of Jinchangfang, covering an area of nearly 400 acres, with more than ten courtyards and 1,897 houses of various types. It was the most magnificent royal temple in Chang'an City during the Tang Dynasty. After the temple was built, more than 300 monks presided over religious activities, and Master Xuanzang, who returned from his journey to the West to seek Dharma, was invited to be the first abbot of Da Ci'en Temple. Master Xuanzang translated Buddhist scriptures and preached Buddhism for 11 years. Together with his disciple Kuiji, he founded a major Buddhist sect, the Dharma-Appearance and Consciousness-Only School, making Da Ci'en Temple the ancestral temple of the Consciousness-Only School.
• Existing structure: The current Da Ci'en Temple was built on the basis of the original temple's West Pagoda Courtyard since the second year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty (1466), and now covers an area of more than 76 acres (50,738 square meters).
Architectural features
• Overall layout: Inside the temple gate, there are bell and drum towers facing each other. The main buildings on the central axis are the Great Hall, the Dharma Hall, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and the Xuanzang Tripitaka Courtyard.
• Big Wild Goose Pagoda: Built in the third year of Yonghui in the Tang Dynasty (652), it was built by Master Xuanzang to store the Buddhist scriptures and relics taken from the Western Regions. The tower is 64.5 meters high and has seven floors. The bottom of the tower is in the shape of a square cone. Each side of the bottom floor is 25 meters long. It is built on a platform about 45 meters long and wide and about 4 meters high. It is made of bricks, with polished bricks and square pyramids.
• Xuanzang Tripitaka Hall: The temple houses the skull relic and bronze statue of Master Xuanzang. The walls are carved with purple copper into Buddhist stories - Tang Xuanzang's quest for the law. This huge bronze mural was carved by bronze artist Zhu Bingren. There are 36 pieces and 108 square meters in total. It is the largest bronze mural in the world.
Cultural value
• Religious value: As the ancestral temple of the Consciousness-Only School, Da Ci'en Temple plays an important role in the spread and development of Buddhism. It has a profound impact on the inheritance and development of Chinese Buddhist doctrines, attracting many believers and Buddhist researchers to come and worship and learn.
• Cultural Relics Value: The temple preserves a large number of cultural relics, such as the Buddha statues, murals, and inscriptions in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, as well as the "Preface to the Holy Teachings of the Great Tang Tripitaka" and "Record of the Preface to the Holy Teachings of the Great Tang Tripitaka". These cultural relics are not only precious historical relics, but also important physical materials for studying Tang Dynasty calligraphy, painting, sculpture and other arts.
• Cultural Heritage Value: Da Ci'en Temple carries rich Buddhist culture and historical memory, and is an important part of Chinese traditional culture. The architecture, cultural relics, religious activities, etc. in the temple reflect the prosperity and splendor of Tang Dynasty Buddhist culture, which is of great significance for inheriting and promoting China's excellent traditional culture.

Xi'an Beilin Museum is worth going, very close to Xi'an City Wall. There are many historical relics inside, and the special exhibition is also very interesting. The air conditioning temperature in the North Hall is very low and you need to bring a thin coat. The venue construction is very modern
The service attitude of the scenic spot is very thoughtful, and every staff member is warm and friendly, making people feel the warmth of home. At the same time, the safety measures of the scenic spot are also very complete, which makes people feel at ease. This scenic spot is really beautiful, every place is like a picture scroll, making people linger.
