    The daytime and nighttime views are both fantastic! 👍🏻 The park offers a variety of activities and is definitely worth a visit. We strolled around before dark and stayed until nightfall – the nighttime views were absolutely amazing! Next time, we'll definitely go with friends in a different season! ✌🏻

    My stay at the Furongge Hotel during my trip to Xi'an was an absolute stellar experience, definitely a five-star choice! The hotel's location is superb, right next to the west gate of the Tang Paradise, just a 2-minute walk from the park. A 5-minute walk to the right leads to the "Twelve Hours of Chang'an" themed street, and a few minutes' stroll away is the brightly lit Tang Dynasty Never Sleeping City. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda and Da Ci'en Temple are also within easy reach, making it super convenient to walk back to the hotel after a nighttime stroll. The surrounding area has convenient subway and bus services, making it easy to get to attractions such as the Shaanxi History Museum and Qujiang Pool Relics Park without having to worry about planning routes. The hotel's overall style is inspired by the Tang Dynasty, with a bright and spacious interior decorated with elegant Tang-style furnishings. The wooden furnishings are warm and textured, and the Tang paintings on the walls and exquisite ornaments exude ancient charm. Every step reveals a beautiful scene, creating a wonderful atmosphere. Wearing Hanfu in the lobby or courtyard makes for amazing photos, instantly giving you a sense of immersion in the Tang Dynasty. The guest rooms are clean, spacious, and bright, with soft and skin-friendly bedding. The butler service is also very thoughtful and attentive. Any needs after check-in are promptly addressed and resolved. In addition to a complimentary gift bag and exquisite welcome fruit, there is also a complimentary afternoon tea every day with a wide variety of delicious options, and a bedtime dessert in the evening. The attention to detail is truly remarkable!

    The Beilin Museum is divided into the Old Hall and the New Hall. The Old Hall has too many steles, and I only had time for a quick visit. The New Hall was a much better experience; each stele has a large space for a 360-degree view, and there are interactive exhibits. I'll definitely come back to experience it more fully next time. The Old Hall also has many treasures, and I hired a guide to explain them; otherwise, I really wouldn't have understood them on my own. It was a very rewarding experience, and I even got a rubbing at the entrance. I left satisfied.

    A theater that only performs one dance drama, a dance drama that only tells the story of one city, a city that tells a history, a history that forges a nation, there is only one such drama in the world—"The Mighty Qin Dynasty".

    My boyfriend and I visited, and the atmosphere of the scenic area was perfect for couples. The streets were lined with lanterns, making it especially romantic at night. We both participated in the interactive activity "Tossing the Embroidered Ball," and although we didn't catch it, the process was still very fun. The performance was spectacular, with amazing stage effects. The staff even offered to take photos with us when they saw us taking pictures. I especially loved these interactive programs; they really helped strengthen our bond as couples.

    We couldn't get tickets to the big Shaanxi History Museum so we decided to visit this. Ticket by specific time slot is free to reserve via Trip.com. At the museum, need to exchange to paper tickets (by showing ID, entered during booking). The Museum is in a big park with Small Wild Goose Pagoda and several other scenic buildings (temples, exhibition halls). It's a lovely park to walk around in. There's a place to write wishes and ring a bell for anyone interested, We spent time walking around the park before going into the museum. It's a good and smallish museum, with more artifacts from the around the regions. Captions are in Chinese and English. There are some extra exhibition (3D) which we didn't go to.The park is a short walk from a few metro stations ; Nanshaomen (near the North Gate) and Tiyuchang (close to the Stadium). If one cannot get tickets to the Shaanxi Museum, this is good enough in my opinion.

    Stepping into the Qinling Wildlife Park, you're greeted by lush greenery and a refreshing atmosphere. The drive-through safari in the predator enclosure is thrilling, with lions and tigers strolling leisurely and exuding power. The petting zoo offers close-up interactions with adorable red pandas and giraffes. A leisurely stroll through the park, listening to birdsong and watching animals play, allows you to connect with nature and heal your mind and body. You can experience the vitality of the animals while relaxing and having a truly enjoyable time.

    Superb! A big thumbs up! 👍 The professional explanations were incredibly insightful; a huge thumbs up to Ms. Wang Shan, no wonder she has a formal history background! I've visited many museums, but I never expected Shaanxi Archaeology to provide such a wonderful experience. Highly recommended!!
