Tang Paradise

Xi’an’s Tang Dynasty dream at Tang Paradise Park 🏮✨ This sprawling garden park blends classic Chinese architecture, shimmering lakes, ornate bridges, and nightly illuminations - creating an immersive setting reminiscent of ancient Chang’an. The evening atmosphere is especially magical, perfect for capturing those legendary vibes! Here’s how to make your visit extra unforgettable: After exploring nearby Tang Everbright City, hit one of the stylish costume rental shops to don traditional Hanfu attire. Wearing these beautiful robes will elevate your experience, and when you stroll into Tang Paradise Park in the evening, you’ll find that the lantern-lit paths and glowing pavilions make for incredibly atmospheric, crowd-free photos. Try close-up shots beside the willow-shaded lakes, ornate gateways, and under the rainbow-colored lanterns (look for reflections on the water at night for next-level photos!). The park’s cultural performances, tea houses, and themed gardens all make great backdrops for your Tang-inspired adventure. Practical tips: Tang Paradise Park is open daily from 09:00 to 22:00, with ticket sales until 21:00 and last entry at 21:30 (address: No. 99, Furong West Road, Qujiang New District). Admission is 68 RMB. If possible, visit at dusk to enjoy both daytime beauty and the sparkling evening scene. Bring portable lighting if you plan night photography. The park is safe, but wrap up warmly if visiting outside summer. #XiAn #TangParadise #ChineseCulture #NightViews #TravelChina
