Dreaming Back to the Tang Dynasty - Xichang Tang Garden

The history of Xichang can be traced back to the Western Han Dynasty, and by the Kaiyuan era of the Tang Dynasty, Xichang, known as Xiuzhou, had become a prosperous city. The scale of Xiuzhou City was several times larger than that of the ancient city of Jianchang in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which can be described as the peak period of the development of ancient Xichang city. As time flies, the ancient city of Xiuzhou, once prosperous, has vanished with the end of the Tang Dynasty, leaving only a section of the ancient city wall preserving the memory of the Tang Dynasty more than 1300 years ago. In 2016, in order to commemorate the once prosperous era, Xichang invested in the construction of Tang Garden, which officially opened on the eve of the National Day in 2022. The scale of Xichang Tang Garden is not small, covering about 200 acres, and the overall shape is rectangular. With the culture of the Tang Dynasty and the style of the Southern Silk Road as the main themes, it adopts the garden form and architectural style of the Tang Dynasty to create a cultural tourism garden full of Tang Dynasty style. Entering the Tang Garden is like opening a 'dream'. Walking deep in the garden, climbing the solemn Tang-style buildings, at night, the lights are lit, creating a magnificent scene of light and shadow. The main buildings, Jianchang Tower and Xiuzhou Pavilion, can be described as the finest works of imitation ancient architecture in recent years, not only with a solemn and grand appearance, but also with meticulous attention to detail. Tang Garden is not far from Jianchang Ancient City, and the two historical and cultural attractions can be arranged to be visited on the same day.
