This was originally the southern gate of the Daming Palace, and was also the ceremonial entrance for the emperor to ascend the throne and receive the congratulations of the world. Its status is equivalent to the Meridian Gate of the Forbidden City💥. ⸻ 🏛️ Exhibition Hall Experience: • As soon as you enter, you will see the restored version of the ruins of Danfengmen, and the grandeur is immediately breathtaking! The door is 16 meters high and 74 meters wide, and although it was rebuilt based on the site, it remains full of momentum. • There are several exhibition areas, including archaeological unearthed artifacts display, Tang Dynasty architectural technology introduction, 3D restoration video, and an interactive experience area that simulates traveling through the Tang Dynasty. • Specially recommended to watch ** "Daming Palace Danfengmen Immersive Video"**, using 4D surround projection to restore the palace scenes of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, super shocking! ⸻ 📸 Must-take photos for check-in: 📷 1️⃣ Rebuild the large square in front of the Danfengmen Gatehouse 📷 2️⃣ Indoor Tang Dynasty architectural model + 3D restoration map 📷 3️⃣ Cross the photo wall/interactive AR Tang Dynasty character photo 📷 4️⃣ Sometimes the lights will be lit up at night (seasonal limited), the night view is very beautiful! ⸻ 💡Tips & Suggestions: ✔️ Recommended trip time: about 1.5–2 hours ✔️ 10 minutes walk by MTR to "Da Ming Palace West Station" ✔️ It is recommended to visit Danfengmen first, then go for a walk next door to the "Daming Palace National Heritage Park" ✔️ If you are interested in Tang history, it is recommended to read together with the "Shaanxi History Museum" for more complete knowledge 📚 ✔️ There is a small cafe & souvenir shop in the venue where you can buy Tang style peripherals ⸻ 📌 Reason for recommendation: ✨ Full of cultural atmosphere, understand the architecture of the prosperous Tang Dynasty ✨ Perfect for history fans/students/parent-child trips ✨ Air-conditioned, modern exhibition hall facilities ✨ Interactive elements, not boring, children can play! ⸻ 🏷️ Hashtags #Danfengmen Museum #Xi'an Attractions Recommendation #Daming Palace Ruins #Transcendence of the Tang Dynasty #Museum Photo #Cultural Tour #Tripcom Quality Travel Content #XiAnTrip

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
