Huaqing Palace
Location: Huaqing Palace, Xian, Shaanxi, China
Entrance fee: 120¥ + 358¥ performance
Date: July 13, 2022
Huaqing Palace or Huaqing Pool is located about 35 kilometers east of the city of Xi'an, at the foot of Li Mountain. Hua means brilliant, Chinese or flowery; qing means pure or clear. It is a famous imperial bathing pool and one of China's Hundred Famous Gardens.
In Tang Dynasty, emperors would come to Huaqing Palace with their concubines. The Emperor Xuanzong used to spend his wintertimes at Huaqing Palace in the company of his favorite concubine Yang.
“Song of the everlasting sorrow” musical performance is a love story of Concubine Yang Guifei and emperor Xuanzong (Tang Dynasty).
She is known as one of the Four Beauties of ancient China.
Even though she was the wife of the emperor’s son, the emperor was attracted with her beauty, and eventually, he made her his imperial consort. Yang enjoyed a luxurious life after becoming the consort of Emperor Xuanzong.
However, she soon became the victim of courtly intrigue, which ultimately led to her death. But the legendary story of her romance with the Emperor would last forever.
She was so beautiful that we can feel it even just looking at her statue😍
The performance was so realistic, that I felt their love and sorrow. I had a feeling like they’re shooting an ancient movie and I’m part of it. It was so incredible and it’s worth watching it. I really liked it. If you go to Terra-cotta on the way back you need to see this fascinating place and the performance.

Visit the home of the Vietnamese Last Emperor
Bao Dai was Vietnam’s last Emperor, Bao Dai loved Dalat and had 3 residences there.
King Palace is the 1st residence, and, in my opinion, it is the most beautiful one. It is built on a hill overlooking Dalat in a French architectural style so it doesn’t even feel like you’re in Vietnam.
Today you can visit King Palace for 50.000VND and enjoy the beautiful yellow residence surrounded by pine trees and flowers.
If you love taking photos, it is the perfect picture spot.
There is a coffee shop in there so you can just drink coffee, sit back and relax with a stunning view.
Most of the buildings are closed, but you can visit the main one and see retro furniture and the rooms where Bao Dai lived with his family while in Dalat.
Put King Palace in your itinerary of your next Dalat trip 😊
