Huaqing Palace (Huaqing Hot Spring & Lishan Mountain) is located 30 kilometers east of Xi'an, adjacent to the Terracotta Warriors. It is well-known at home and abroad for its eternal hot spring resources and numerous historical events, and has become a landmark scenic Attraction for Chinese Tang Palace cultural tourism.
【Palace Scenic Spots】
▲Huaqing Palace has a long history. Emperors of the Zhou, Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties built palaces and villas here. The palace houses cultural areas such as the Tang Imperial Hot Springs Site Museum, the site of the Xi'an Incident - the Five-Room Hall, the Jiulong Lake and Furong Lake Scenic Area, the Tang Pear Garden Site Museum and iconic buildings such as the Feishuang Hall, the Wanshou Hall, the Changsheng Hall, the Huanyuan and the Yuwang Hall.
▲“Ode to Hot Springs” Monument
Lishan Hot Springs are known as the "No. 1 Imperial Spring in the World" because they were developed and utilized early and were favored by emperors of all dynasties. As early as 6,000 years ago during the Yangshao period, the ancestors of Jiangzhai began to use Lishan Hot Springs. The long-standing Lishan Hot Springs embody rich cultural connotations and are an indispensable and important part of the history and culture of the Chinese nation.
The stone tablet in the Attraction is 154 cm high, 72 cm wide and 19 cm thick, with a coiled dragon head and a trapezoidal base. It was engraved by Yuan Chang, the governor of Yongzhou in the Northern Wei Dynasty. The inscription reads, "Hot springs are the natural prescription, the original medicine of heaven and earth, and the people of all nations are supported by hot springs. Guests with illnesses who sleep on the hot springs all come to visit and heal their sufferings with water." This tablet is the earliest existing physical material in Huaqing Palace.
▲Tang Yutang Site Museum
This is the location of the bathhouse where Yang Guifei's bathing scene is described in "The Song of Song of Everlasting Sorrow". After the An-Shi Rebellion, the original building was barely left. In 1982, when the Lintong County People's Government was building the "Imperial Concubine Pavilion", they accidentally discovered the ruins of a Tang Dynasty bathhouse. After excavation and sorting, it was built into the Tang Huaqing Palace Imperial Hot Spring Relics Museum. This hot spring pool is small and exquisite, with a unique design. It is 3.6 meters long from east to west and 2.9 meters wide from north to south, and its shape is similar to an ellipse. Next to the east of the Imperial Concubine Pool is the imperial bath used exclusively by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, a Nine Dragon Hall was built on the pool. Outside the hall, there are nine dragons carved from white jade, spouting water from their mouths. The bath is shaped like a realistic lotus, so it is also called "Lotus Bath".
▲The site of the Xi’an Incident
The five halls of Huaqing Palace are where the Xi'an Incident took place. To this day, bullet marks from the fierce fighting during the military rebellion are still preserved on the glass windows and walls of the five halls. The tables, chairs, beds, sofas, tea sets, stoves, carpets, telephones, etc. used in the offices of each room are all reproduced and placed in their original appearance.
【Historical Events】
▲Deceiving the Lords with Beacon Fires
In 779 BC, King You of Zhou got the beautiful Bao Si, but she never smiled. For this reason, King You and the treacherous minister Guo Shifu discussed a clever plan and lit the beacon tower on Mount Li. The princes of the world watched the beacon and quickly led their troops to rescue him. King You told the princes: "I raised the beacon to make the queen smile", so Bao Si laughed. The princes from all walks of life came with courage and returned with resentment. Seeing that King You was incompetent and the people were alienated, the Quanrong Kingdom took the opportunity to lead troops to attack. When the troops were at the foot of the mountain, King You of Zhou hurriedly raised the beacon to mobilize troops, but none of the princes came to rescue him. King You fled to the foot of Mount Li with Bao Si and was killed by the Quanrong. The historical allusions of "a smile is worth a thousand gold", "a smile loses the world", and "playing with princes with beacon fire" were left behind.
During the Jiayou period of the Northern Song Dynasty, the hot springs of Mount Li were painstakingly renovated by Liu Ziyong and others. They were so beautiful that tourists flocked to them, chanting poems and writing fu, expressing their feelings and nostalgia. Among these numerous poems and fu, the masterpieces such as "Lady Guoguo's Night Tour" and "Mount Li" written by the emerging literary giant Su Shi during his visit to Mount Li are outstanding.
The Xi'an Incident, also known as the "Double Twelve Incident," was a mutiny launched by Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng at Huaqing Pool, detaining the then Chairman of the Nationalist Government's Military Commission.
【Performance】
▲Performance of "The Song of Everlasting Sorrow". The Attraction launched the large-scale real-life historical dance drama "The Song of Everlasting Sorrow" in 2007, and the multimedia video drama "Xuanjing Changsheng Palace" in 2012.

I bought a joint ticket for Huaqing Palace and Changhen Song. But watching Changhen Song, I don't need to buy tickets for Huaqing Palace. I went to Huaqing Palace at five o'clock in the afternoon. Basically, there were no people. I found a tour guide teacher and took me around. The first time I came to Huaqing Palace, I could experience the culture here. If you want to see the song of long hate, you don’t have to buy a joint ticket.
This is the first large-scale real-life historical dance drama in China. The dance drama is based on Bai Juyi's "Long Hate Song", which vividly reproduces the story of Li and Yang from encountering each other, from lingering to separation, and finally meeting in Penglai Wonderland. With the performance of the actors with heart and affection, the plot is interlocking and touching. The performance is in Huaqing Palace. If the performance is more difficult, you can visit with Huaqing Pool. (However, Huaqing Pool is a stone pool with scale disease. It depends on personal preferences. [Dog Head]), the whole performance uses a variety of sound, light and audio effects, hanging Weiya, water and fire blending, The dance beauty props are also very eye-catching, the performance is four times a day, starting at 18:30, 70 minutes, even the last night is often full of seats, which can be seen in its popularity; PS: Since this fearless space is an open-air place, so everyone should pay attention to preparing evening coats and rain prevention measures. Generally, if the rain has little impact, the organizer will send a disposable raincoat.
Tickets for Huaqing Palace are really a bit expensive...120! ! ! However, it is actually very historical whether it is Yang Guifei's hot spring soup pool, the place where the Xi'an incident occurred, Jiang Jieshi Tibetan Residence, Zhou Youwang's fire drama Zhuhou, or the Lushan cableway worth a visit on the right hand side of the gate of Huaqing Palace. A little more is the gate of Changhen Song... The Changhen Song performance is also very good-looking, but the tickets are also expensive... (Four performances a day during May 1st, the latest one is 23:55, it is too hard! ) Changhenge Square is huge, there are many restaurants and pedicure shops in the shopping mall and small street opposite, you can soak your feet and massage to pass the waiting time before Changhengge ()
Huaqing Palace: The blood-colored romance in the fold of power is still warm in the Huaqing pool in the northern foot of the mountain, but it can no longer evaporate the clouds of the Kaiyuan Tianbao years. This hot spring palace, broken by the iron foot of 3,000 forbidden troops, solidifies the most gorgeous blood-color romance in Chinese history. When the love legend of Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei faded the romantic filter of literati ink, Huaqing Palace exposed not only the remnants of the white jade carving column, but also the deadly temptation of an empire in the folds of power. 1. The power mirror of the hot spring palace mirrors the 40-odd records left by Tang Xuanzong in the Huaqing Palace, which constitutes the special coordinates of the political geography of the Shengtang. More than 100 temples such as Feishong Temple, Kowloon Temple and Pearl Temple built on the mountain, interpret the space rhetoric of power in a delicate architectural language. The star soup pool for the emperor to bathe, using the "dome through the sky" design, will be the hot spring and the starry sky vastly weave into a metaphor of the power of the heavens. When Xuanzong stretches his body in the lotus soup, the water mist of the hot spring transpiration is like the figurative form of power radiation. The illusion of the Lushan Palace into the energy core of the entire empire. 2. The political metaphor of the Yuyi Yuyi Palace witnessed not only the fragrant scene of the "Spring and Cold Bath of Huaqing Pool", but also the peak of the political aesthetics of the Shengtang Dynasty. Yang Yuhuan's "Yuyi Song" arranged in the Huaqing Palace, Reconstructed the order of power in artistic form: a huge lineup of 400 dancers, through a sophisticated formation transformation, reproduced the pyramid structure of the imperial administrative system at the visual level. When the sleeves flip into a trajectory of power flow, and the drums perform the rhythm of the bureaucracy, this hot spring palace has become a large theater of political power. Third, the history of horse blood marks dialectical 755 Anlushan rebel iron riding crushed the glazed tiles of Huaqing Palace, but also uncovered the cruel truth behind the romantic narrative. Archaeologically found in the Tang Dynasty Liyuan site, those studded with the sapphire fragments, and the fragmented armor unearthed on Ma Qipo formed a strange dialogue. When Bai Juyi lamented in "The Song of Long Hate" that "the king could not hide his face and save his face", history had already completed the deconstruction of the double myth of power and love in the shadow of the sword and sword of the Pear Garden's dismayed flight and the mutiny of the forbidden army. Standing in the contemporary looking back at the ruins of Huaqing Palace, The "spa water slide" that the literati repeatedly groaned is infiltrated by the complex body fluids of the power mechanism. When archaeologists found the "dragon scale bricks" made in the Xuanzong period on the ground floor of the Lotus Soup site, each piece of clay wrapped in gold is telling the story of the exquisite domestication of power to matter. The ruins of this palace not only carry the tragedy of individual destiny, but also show that any attempt to embed private emotions into the state machine will eventually be turned into a powder in the gears of history. The hot springs of Huaqing Palace are not cold yet, but they are flowing. It has long been a civilized meditation beyond the romantic imagination.
Yang Guifei and Li Shimin beautiful romantic love story, whether it is with friends, family, couples and couples traveling to Xi'an, this life must see the "long hate song" performance.
