Xi'an, a passionate city.

Xi'an Tang Daming Palace is a witness to the glorious history of the Tang Dynasty. It was built in the eighth year of the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang, and was originally a summer palace built by Emperor Taizong for his father, Li Yuan. After large-scale construction by several emperors, including Emperor Gaozong of Tang, it became the most magnificent palace complex of the Tang Dynasty. It was once the political center of the Tang Dynasty, and countless decrees were issued from this magnificent palace, affecting the fate of the entire country. It is grand in scale and magnificent in momentum, and its architectural art is unique, with flying eaves and bucket arches, showing the grandeur of the Tang Dynasty. Walking through it, you can almost see the grand scene of the Tang Dynasty, see the nobles shuttling through it, and feel the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. It is the shining place of the splendid culture of the Chinese nation, and every inch of land is engraved with the imprint of history.

Daming Palace National Heritage Park

Stepping Into Imperial China: Daming Palace & Forbidden City 🏯☁️ Journey through the grandeur of China's imperial past with two must-see stops: Xi’an’s Daming Palace National Heritage Park and Beijing’s iconic Forbidden City! Dive into the splendor of Tang dynasty history and peek into ancient emperor life—make sure your camera’s ready for some epic shots, from intricate rooftops to lush gardens under dramatic skies. Start at Daming Palace (Taihua South Road, Xi’an), open daily (Apr 15–Oct 15: 08:30–19:00, Oct 16–Apr 14: 08:30–18:00, entry ¥60). Stroll the Royal Road for a full palace view and wander the Archaeological Discovery Hall to see Tang artifacts up close. Must-do: Climb up the vantage points for panoramic Instaworthy shots—especially on cloudy days, which add an atmospheric vibe. Bring comfy shoes; the park is sprawling! Next, step into the Forbidden City in Beijing—perfect for immersing yourself in the luxurious lifestyle of China’s emperors. Explore the Hall of Supreme Harmony and marvel at detailed carvings. On a rainy or cloudy day, the golden palace roofs really pop against the sky! Tip: Arrive early to dodge crowds, and bring a raincoat rather than an umbrella (trust me, wind can get wild). Precaution: Both attractions require substantial walking, so hydrate and pace yourself. Forbidden City especially gets busy—even midweek—so pre-purchase tickets if possible for smoother entry. For unbeatable cultural snapshots, focus on courtyard close-ups, aged trees, and grand throne rooms—your followers won’t believe their eyes! #XiAn #Beijing #ImperialChina #CultureTrip #TravelEssentials
