【Chang'an Lights Never Sleep at Night】The most comprehensive travel guide to the Tang Paradise, taking you back to the glorious Tang Dynasty!

When the sunset dips below the flying eaves of the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, the real Chang'an is just awakening. As a must-visit spot in Xi'an, Tang Paradise is not only a replica ancient street but also a millennium-spanning dream of the Tang Dynasty. This firsthand guide will help you avoid crowds and enjoy the most authentic Tang-style night scenes. ▶ Best Visiting Schedule It is recommended to enter after 6:30 PM to enjoy the architectural silhouettes during the blue hour and witness the stunning moment when the lights come on. Important tip: Follow the official WeChat account for the latest performance schedule! Regular showtimes are as follows: • 7:00-7:20 PM Music Fountain (Asia’s largest matrix, arrive early for front-row spots) • 8:00-8:30 PM Large Float Parade (best viewing spot at Kaiyuan Square) • Irregular interactive shows: Floating Li Bai/Marionette/Stone Man (random surprise triggers) ▶ Exclusive Tour Route Recommendation Start your time-travel journey from the North Entrance at Xuanzang Square: ① Zhen Guan Memorial Stele Group → ② Poetry Lantern Pillar Forest (perfect for Hanfu photos) → ③ Interactive Performance Area → ④ Cultural and Creative Market → ⑤ South Square Kaiyuan Celebration Sculpture Group. This route follows the light and allows you to watch performances off-peak, saving about 40% of your time compared to the regular route! ▶ Must-Experience Activities List ✅ Hanfu lantern night tour (Hanfu rental nearby for 128 RMB all-inclusive, reservation recommended) ✅ Touch fingertips with the roly-poly girl (least crowded at 7:45 PM show) ✅ Collect stamps in the "Glorious Tang Secret Box" check-in booklet (45 RMB at the cultural shop, great souvenir) ✅ Taste the intangible cultural heritage persimmon pancake under the moonlight (backstreet stalls are 5 RMB cheaper than main street) ▶ Practical Tips • Transportation: The easiest access is Exit E of Dayan Pagoda Station on Metro Lines 3/4; roads around are very congested on Fridays and Saturdays • Photography: Bring a fill light! Mobile night mode portraits tend to blur • Off-peak: From Sunday to Thursday, crowds reduce by 30%, doubling the experience quality • Hidden gem: The corridor on the east side of Kaiyuan Square is an excellent spot to capture the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda and lights in one frame ▶ Nearby Attractions Linkage It is recommended to arrange Dayan Pagoda (climb during the day) - Shaanxi History Museum (visit in the morning) - Tang Paradise (explore at night) all in one day. These three attractions are less than 2 kilometers apart and can be connected on foot, perfectly realizing "See all the flowers of Chang'an in one day." When the clock strikes 10:00 PM and the girl carrying the carp lantern disappears among the red towers and painted pavilions, you will understand why it is said, "The night of the Tang Dynasty has never closed for 1,200 years." This flowing chapter of prosperity is waiting for you to write a new story.
