🏮Datang Everbright City｜A dazzling feast of lights that instantly transports you back to the flourishing Tang Dynasty, so beautiful it leaves you speechless! Who would understand! The moment you walk into Datang Everbright City at dusk, it feels like magic has been cast—the brilliant lanterns string together like the Milky Way, Tang-style architecture glows with golden light, young ladies in ruqun dresses carry flower lanterns as they pass by, and the melodious sound of the pipa fills the air. It truly feels like stepping into the world of "The Longest Day in Chang'an"! 📍Super convenient location Right in Yanta District, Xi’an. Take Metro Line 3 to Dayanta Station, exit B, then a 10-minute walk. It’s right next to the North Square of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. After exploring Everbright City, you can also watch the musical fountain—perfectly planned itinerary~ ✨Must-experience immersive joy ❶ The moment the lights come on Around 6 PM, the lights gradually turn on. From the rustic look before lighting to the dazzling glow after, this transition must be captured! Use your phone’s time-lapse feature to watch the lanterns along the street light up one by one like stars, instantly boosting the atmosphere. ❷ Stunning street performances Surprises everywhere—dancers waving water sleeves performing "Beautiful Lady’s Walk," their movements as graceful as if stepping out of a painting; actors dressed as the poet Li Bai who recite poetry with visitors and give out small bookmarks if you answer correctly; artisans making dough figurines and sugar paintings, with kids watching wide-eyed, full of lively street vibes~ ❸ Wearing Hanfu makes your photos even better There are many Hanfu rental shops in the area, renting a set with makeup for 100-200 RMB. From ruqun to Tang-style round-collar robes, pick a bright-colored outfit to shoot under the lanterns—every turn looks like a screenshot from a historical drama! Recommended to rent in the "The Longest Day in Chang'an" themed street for more exquisite styles~ 📸Best photo spots ✔️ Kaiyuan Square: The huge "Kaiyuan Prosperity" sculpture with lit-up buildings behind it. Stand on the steps for a panoramic shot—grand and stunning. ✔️ Mid-section of the pedestrian street: Find an alley full of red lanterns and have a friend shoot your back as you walk forward, with the lanterns blurred in the background for an instant ancient-style masterpiece. ✔️ Rooftop of Joy City: Capture the full view of Everbright City plus the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. Shoot after dark when the lights are on—the pagoda’s tip and the lights echo each other, absolutely gorgeous! 🍜Foodie guide ❶ Chang’an Dapai Dang: Must-try gourd chicken and brush pen pastry. The environment is ancient-style and cost-effective, but go early to avoid queues~ ❷ Shanxi 13 Ice Cream: Unique Shaanxi flavors like chili oil and fermented glutinous rice—curious and delicious. Buy a small portion to try. ❸ Street snacks: Try roasted oil bread, roujiamo (meat sandwich), and zenggao (steamed rice cake). Eat while walking to soak up the local street life. 💡Tips ▪️ Best time to visit is 7-9 PM when it’s lively but not too crowded, and performances are most frequent. ▪️ Wear comfortable shoes! The pedestrian street is long and takes 1-2 hours to explore. Don’t wear shoes that hurt just to look good. ▪️ Check the "Datang Everbright City" official WeChat for the day’s performance schedule in advance so you don’t miss your favorite shows. You really can’t miss this place when in Xi’an! When the lights come on and the music plays, you truly feel the weight of the words "Flourishing Tang." That lively yet romantic atmosphere is unforgettable after just one visit! Datang Everbright City The Longest Day in Chang'an themed street Big Wild Goose Pagoda
