    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! ✌🏻

    This was my second visit, and it was still excellent as always! The performance was spectacular, and the NPCs were incredibly dedicated. Prices inside hadn't gone up, but the content of the performances was slightly reduced compared to the previous two years.

    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".

    Photography enthusiasts shouldn't miss the Xi'an Ancient Town Scenic Area! The area's antique-style architecture and unique shops offer stunning photo opportunities, especially at dusk when the lights come on. The performances are a visual feast, with superb stage lighting and amazing special effects; I quickly captured many memorable moments. There are also numerous Instagram-worthy spots, ensuring a high success rate for photos—nine photos simply won't be enough!

    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!!
