Indeed, it's a great angle of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda The popular spot seen online, a bit hard to find. I always thought that the ruins of the Daci'en Temple were also in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda scenic area, but it turns out that you have to exit from the south gate. After exiting, go to the left, and that open space is the ruins of the Daci'en Temple. The photo spot marked on the map is the Tathagata Buddha. Follow the blue arrow in the third picture, bypass a hotel, see an inconspicuous entrance, look inside and you can see the pillar in the fourth picture, the distance is very close, walk the red line in the third picture and you will arrive.

I've been to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda twice, the first time was just to check in and watch the uninteresting musical fountain. This time I brought my elders to 'check in' for the first time, and we watched the uninteresting fountain again. Actually, I wanted to go inside the temple, but the timing wasn't right. You can go to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in the afternoon, then spend over an hour getting dressed up and styled, and when the lights come on at night, you can head to Datang Everbright City. The musical fountain at seven o'clock is in the North Square, after watching the fountain head to the South Square, and on the way from north to south, you'll see the glowing poetry. There's a spot in the South Square where you can take photos of the glowing Xuanzang statue and the Big Wild Goose Pagoda together, or you can skip the fountain and go directly to the South Square to find a spot, because there will be a lot of people taking photos after the lights are on. There are signs all the way, just follow them, cross the road from the South Square, and you'll arrive at Datang Everbright City - a well-made themed pedestrian street, with a main stage on the main road and food and fun on both sides. The distance between stages and the scheduling of showtimes are very reasonable. At a normal walking pace, you can finish watching one show and move on, and by the time you get there, you can wait for the next show to start. It's unlikely to see all the shows, but you can catch a part of them. The show schedule is available on the official WeChat account, but I think it's better to go with the flow. There are too many people, and if you're not keen on a particular show, such as the 'Prosperous Tang Mystery Box' (which is actually close to the entrance, just a few steps away), you don't have to stick to the schedule to find a spot, just watch as you go. Each show lasts about five to ten minutes. Since I brought three elders over 65 years old, they were quite tired by 8:30 pm, and it would take until 10:30 pm to see all the shows. Also, on the first day we arrived, a taxi driver reminded us to leave Datang Everbright City early, otherwise it would be very difficult to get a taxi, so we left at 8:30 pm. I watched about five shows, 'The Reign of Zhenguan' was not bad, and 'The Battle of the Flower Floats' was also good. As for my mom, my aunt, and my great aunt, it seems they didn't watch any, just rested by the roadside . There were indeed too many people. Datang Everbright City is still worth visiting, next time I'll dress up, the immersive experience is good~

Grand Tang Paradise is mainly a large-scale royal theme park showcasing the culture of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. There are also many performances in the park at different times. 🌈 If time is short, it is recommended to go directly to the Grand Tang Mall to experience the bustling Tang Dynasty night market! After all, the night view here is exciting! 📍 Muslim Street/Spray Gold Bridge Muslim Street is basically one of the most concentrated tourist food spots, very crowded, and the dining prices on Muslim Street are not cheap, it can be treated as a sight to stroll through. ➡️ As for Spray Gold Bridge, there are fewer people compared to Muslim Street, but it's not exactly off the beaten path anymore. I personally recommend the old alleys next to Spray Gold Bridge, which are very nice to walk through and have an authentic local atmosphere. 📍 Terracotta Army of Emperor Qin Shi Huang Approved by the United Nations in 1987 to be listed in the 'World Heritage List', it is known as the eighth wonder of the world. This attraction needs no introduction, a pride of the Chinese people. It's very crowded, be careful not to get pushed over. 📍 Huaqing Pool Huaqing Pool, also known as Li Palace, where Yang Guifei bathed, is a very small pool. 🌈 The evening performance of 'The Song of Everlasting Sorrow' is recommended, with a total of ten acts, lasting 70 minutes. The performance is beautiful, and the prosperity of the Grand Tang Dynasty is worth seeing. 📍 Famen Temple Founded during the Eastern Han Dynasty, it has a history of over 1900 years. Located in Baoji City, also known as the True Body Pagoda, it became a holy place for Buddhism because it houses the finger bone relics of Sakyamuni Buddha. Famen Temple visit order: Old Temple > Museum > New Temple ➡️ Inside the Ten-Combined Relic Pagoda, which has an investment of over 5 billion, there is a performance about the past of Famen, which is quite beautiful. Friends who have the money and leisure can go and see it. 📍 Ancient City Wall On the last day, you can climb the Ming Dynasty Ancient City Wall, which is the largest and most intact ancient city wall existing in China. There are four city gates in total, and the wall is especially magnificent at sunset. Highly recommended!
