M15***70[Yongle Palace Experience: Journey Through a Yuan-Century Taoist Art Hall] Visiting Yongle Palace in Ruicheng, Shanxi, is a truly breathtaking pilgrimage! Though tucked away in a small town, this Taoist temple, built during the Yuan Dynasty, is breathtaking with its unparalleled mural art and architectural style. 🌟 Highlights: 1. Treasure Murals: The "Chao Yuan Tu" in the Sanqing Hall is a pinnacle of Eastern art—286 deities, 4 meters high, dance in graceful robes, their cinnabar and azurite colors remaining dazzling even after 700 years. Standing within the hall, you can almost hear celestial music and experience the harmony between man and nature as captured by Yuan-Cheng painters. 2. Architectural Marvels: The monumental relocation of the palace in the 1950s for the Three Gorges Project adds to its legendary charm. Walking through the hip-and-gable roofed, Yuan-Cheng wooden structure, you can gaze upon the intricate mortise and tenon joints of the caisson ceiling, and every carved chiwen pattern speaks to the wisdom of the ancients. 3. Immersive Experience: The scenic area utilizes a dark-lighting system, making the details of the murals even more sacred under soft lighting. We recommend renting a guide (a great value at 20 yuan) to understand the subtle metaphors within the legendary story of Lü Dongbin. ⚠️ Notes: • Flash photography is strictly prohibited inside the temple. You can purchase the official album (198 yuan) to collect your own. • It is recommended to enter at 9:00 a.m. to avoid the midday tour group rush. • Combine this with a day trip to the Jiezhou Guandi Temple in southern Shanxi. The most profound feeling of this trip: While modern people are accustomed to fragmented visual stimulation, standing before these murals, the product of a lifetime of labor, I suddenly understood the meaning of "timeless aesthetic shock." Perhaps this is the meaning of cultural heritage: allowing us to connect with the Chinese nation's most magnificent artistic soul through the intersection of time and space.

Anonymous userMount Hua is known for its precipitousness and beautiful scenery. On a sunny day, the feeling of riding the cable car through the cliffs is exhilarating. You can encounter all sorts of people and scenery along the way. I chose a relatively energy-saving method and spent most of the day hiking, stopping and looking around. It was a great experience. I would like to try hiking at night sometime.

蝈蝈16888I trusted Ctrip and chose the guided tour package, which was only a dozen yuan more expensive than the entrance ticket. It included a professional tour guide's excellent commentary for two hours, followed by a tea break. While it did introduce some shopping options, these were from reputable merchants, and I was free to choose what I wanted to buy; there was no pressure or sales tactics.

_We***98Huaqing Palace is definitely worth a visit! The pavilions and towers within the palace grounds are antique and elegant, and the scenery is captivating. I especially recommend the live performance of "The Song of Everlasting Regret," a grand stage setting paired with dazzling lighting effects that brings the classic story to life, making it a must-see audio-visual feast.

The mausoleum itself is located on a mountain, and at the foot of the mountain is a large square for worship and a temple that enshrines various items related to the Yellow Emperor. It is well worth a visit. However, climbing up the mountain without taking an electric cart is quite strenuous.

爱吃糖浆的小蘑菇There were some icicles along the Hukou Waterfall in mid-December, which looked beautiful and the scenery was breathtaking. I highly recommend it. The apple and pear pastries I bought in the shopping street were very sweet and delicious. It was also the off-season, so there were very few tourists, and I could take my time to enjoy the scenery!

M2d***6wI 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.

You can take a bus to the waterfall entrance, which saves a lot of time. After getting off the bus, it's just a few minutes' walk to the waterfall. It's spectacular and worth seeing.

spatickFun experience with movable seats, theatrical performances, interesting theatrics and novelties such as camels and doggos acting as wolves. Storyline wise, it is "slightly" exaggerated and contrived but this is acceptable as it allows a wider range of performances and costumes.

สมสกุลit's a good place to walk around and imagine how utterly grand this place was which used to be the center of the civilization. The place was huge and educational with remains of the foundations of various halls. Visit the museum, then have a nice leisurely stroll
