To make the most of your time and see as much as possible, I highly recommend staying near the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda for a few days. This way, you'll be able to: ✔️ Visit the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda at your convenience and possibly avoid the massive tourist crowds. ✔️ Catch the Musical Fountain show at the North Square. The performance runs several times a day. I have last year's schedule below, but it's worth double-checking before you go: 12:00 - 12:10 16:00 - 16:10 19:00 - 19:10 21:00 - 21:10 ✔️ Take a stroll down the themed pedestrian street of Datang Everbright City. The street is entirely themed around Tang Dynasty culture. It's packed with a massive variety of shops, restaurants, and entertainment options. It looks especially spectacular in the evening. ✔️ Grab a bite at the innovative space-themed restaurant, Spacelab, located on the 4th floor of Joy City. I have a separate post all about this spot. ✔️ The Longest Day In Chang'an This huge three-story building is designed to look like a neighborhood from the Tang Dynasty era. Throughout the day, it hosts around 40 large and small performances, with something happening every 30 minutes. You can spend the whole day here, or come after 5:00 PM when the entrance ticket is cheaper. Hours of operation: 10:00 AM to 9:30 PM ✔️ Tang Paradise Theme Park + musical show ✔️ A bit of a walk, but still reachable on foot, is another cool attraction—the "Tree of Life" (生命之树). It's located inside the shopping mall: Mall: Xi'an Cultural CBD International Commercial Center Pro Tip! To truly immerse yourself in the experience, dress up in traditional Tang Dynasty attire. Not just for a quick photoshoot, but for a full day of exploring!

Chang'an Twelve Hours 🎡Environment and Facilities The scenes are restored based on the drama Chang'an Twelve Hours, mainly playing on the first floor and the basement. It's located at the southeast corner of the Tang Dynasty's Ever-Bright City, and it's quite convenient to take Metro Line 4. ✨Amusement Features Immersive experience of the Tang Dynasty's prosperity, with exquisite settings. Various performances are arranged at different times, including singing, dancing, acrobatics, and shadow puppetry. The cultural and creative food inside is also quite complete, but I see most people come for travel photography. 🌈Playing Experience Since I had a one-day layover in Xi'an, I wanted a one-stop special forces-style experience of Chang'an's scenery, so I chose the most popular Tang Dynasty's Ever-Bright City. Initially, I thought the performances in the Tang Dynasty's Ever-Bright City were worth the 128 yuan ticket, mainly to avoid the outdoor heat. Inside the themed street area, you can check in all performances within about 2 hours. It felt average inside, but coming out and being squeezed made me doubt life. I didn't even want to see the tilting lady or Li Taibai reciting poems. At least as an RMB player, I could calmly watch performances and eat delicious food. For the popular Neon Clothes Dance, you only need to queue 10 minutes in advance to enter. Also, having read the book and watched the TV series, I had a filter for the scenes inside. Especially when I mentioned wanting to eat the ice persimmons that Zhang Xiaojing ate, the seller came to me, which was very interesting! 📌Travel Tips If time permits, it's recommended to join a makeup and travel photography group. There are far fewer people inside than outside, making it very easy to take good photos. Follow the official WeChat account in advance. You can buy tickets on the spot and enter by swiping your ID card. The main thing is to check the map and see the specific locations of each performance. Otherwise, if you have no sense of direction, you might get a bit confused inside.

📍 The Longest Day in Chang'an (长安十二时辰, Chang'an Twelve Hours Theme Block). This spot is named after the Chinese novel that inspired the hit 2019 TV series "The Longest Day in Chang'an," and it shares a similar vibe with the 72 Qilou Scenic Area (七十二奇楼景区) in Zhangjiajie. Traveling across China, I'm always amazed by how many tourist attractions are named after Chinese novels, TV shows, and movies. Here, you'll find daily evening shows (which you're welcome to record) and a wide variety of entertainment (such as Tang Dynasty cuisine, VR experiences, and photo and video shoots), as well as a massive commercial space (where you can grab a bite or buy various treats and souvenirs). You can also rent armor and traditional Chinese costumes and dresses (which, in my opinion, are the cheapest in Xi'an). Everything is brilliantly themed around the historic Tang Dynasty. This place is located right next to the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda. Tickets are 38 RMB. The exact address is: South Gate of Mandi Plaza, East of Grand Tang Mall, Yanta District, Xi'an, Shaanxi Province (陕西省西安市雁塔区大唐不夜城东侧曼蒂广场南门).

The Chang'an Twelve Hours themed street is an immersive Tang-style cultural attraction located in Xi'an, China. Inspired by the popular drama "Chang'an Twelve Hours," it recreates the Tang Dynasty's urban layout and street culture, offering a walking experience that transports visitors back in time. The entire area authentically restores Tang Dynasty life, combining Hanfu costumes, performances, food, and interactive experiences. It is hailed as "a one-day journey through a thousand years in Chang'an." As someone who has watched "Chang'an Twelve Hours," I made it a point to visit this place during my trip to Xi'an. Ticket prices vary depending on the time of day, so it's recommended to check online for the activities you want to join before heading there. 🕰️ Operating Hours: Weekdays: 10:00 AM – 10:00 PM Weekends/Holidays: 9:30 AM – 10:30 PM Evening peak hours for light shows and night tours start around 6:00 PM. 💰 Average Cost: Weekday adult tickets: Approximately ¥60–80 RMB.

❄️ Xi'an is getting colder, but there are cultural and tourism activities you can enjoy without freezing. Just head to The Longest Day in Chang'an, all indoors with a comfortable temperature. Put on beautiful Hanfu, watch the performances, and interact with NPCs for a fully immersive experience🈵 . The song and dance performances are dazzling and intoxicating for visitors. Whether it’s the Hua’e Xianghui Tower instrumental dance or the Rainbow Skirt and Feathered Coat dance, you can deeply feel the grandeur of the Tang Dynasty. After the show, you can interact with NPCs and play mini-games like Feihua Ling, Chang’an Official Language, Chang’an Hundred Questions, Four Seas Gambling House, Pitch-pot, Chessboard, and Luban Lock—these are all ancient games left by our ancestors thousands of years ago. Isn’t this the joy of traveling? . After the show, you can dine at the Tang Banquet Restaurant. At 6 PM, you can “dine” with the “Emperor,” an experience that’s hard to find elsewhere. Plus, every dish is exquisitely prepared and perfect for photos📸 .

The street supports deep Hanfu immersion, with popular photo spots including flying eaves lanterns, the Hua'e Xianghui Pavilion, and the Blessing Plaque Corridor. Visitors can conveniently enter by scanning their ID cards. It is recommended to book in advance and visit during off-peak hours to enjoy the everyday vibrant scenes and performances of the Tang Dynasty.
