[2025 Xi'an ] Travel Guide for Song of Everlasting Sorrow (Updated Jul)

My advice from multiple trips to Xi'an is... You really need to plan well!!! Explore by districts! There are too many attractions in Xi'an, and without a focus, you'll exhaust yourself. Xi'an can roughly be divided into four areas🙋‍ ✅Xi'an City Wall, Drum Tower, Bell Tower, Changle Gate, Daming Palace, etc. These attractions within the city walls can be visited together in one day. ✅Xi'an Museum, Shaanxi History Museum, Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, Great Tang All Day Mall, Tang Paradise, etc. Multiple attractions are clustered here. To explore them all thoroughly, allocate 2-3 days. ✅Terracotta Warriors, Lishan Garden, Huaqing Pool, "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" Set aside a full day to immerse yourself in this historical and cultural beauty. ✅Mount Hua It's best to dedicate a separate day to this, preferably at the end of your trip. It's really exhausting!!! - Many attractions require advance reservations👇 ➡️Shaanxi History Museum: Reserve 3 days in advance Booking method: Official website/WeChat official account Reservations open at 20:00 three days prior. ➡️Terracotta Warriors: Reserve 1-3 days in advance Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum official website/WeChat official account Morning/afternoon sessions available. ➡️Xi'an Beilin Museum: Reserve 1 day in advance Booking method: WeChat official account "Xi'an Beilin Museum" ➡️Xi'an City Wall: Reserve 1 day in advance Booking method: Scenic spot official account/Ctrip ➡️Giant Wild Goose Pagoda & Da Ci'en Temple: Reserve 1 day in advance Booking method: WeChat official account "Xi'an Giant Wild Goose Pagoda" Daily visitor limits apply!! ➡️Huaqing Palace: Reserve 1-2 days in advance Booking method: Scenic spot official website/WeChat official account "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" performance tickets require separate booking. - Xi'an has severe traffic congestion, so try to use the subway for transportation. Transportation within Xi'an👇 Subway🚇: Highly recommended, very convenient. You can apply for Xi'an's electronic subway card in advance. Bus🚌: Flat fare of 2 yuan, just use the Chang'an Tong electronic card. Taxi🚕: Taxis are quite affordable, with a daytime starting fare of 9 yuan and 10 yuan at night. (It's convenient to take taxis within the city, but there may be traffic jams between attractions, so check the road conditions before hailing a cab.) Bike-sharing🚲: For visiting nearby attractions, bike-sharing is also a good option.

✅Transportation High-speed rail: Chengdu East to Xi'an North Flight: Chengdu to Xi'an (around 1.5 hours) Train: Takes a long time ✅Accommodation Near the Bell Tower: For example, Xi'an Xingbo Hotel. Convenient transportation, a wide variety of delicious foods nearby, and some hotels even offer Hanfu experiences. Near the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda: For example, The Westin Xi'an. Close to scenic spots and beautiful environment. ✅Itinerary Day 1: Arrive in Xi'an at noon and go to Sajinqiao to enjoy delicious foods. In the afternoon, go to the Xi'an City Wall and ride a bike. In the evening, go to the Bell Tower and Drum Tower Square to take photos. Day 2: Visit the Museum of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang in the morning. We recommend hiring a guide.

Everyone knows Yang Guifei, one of the four beauties. Jang Han Ga is a performance that tells the love story of Yang Guifei. It is held at the Huaqing Palace in Xi'an, China, where Yang Guifei is said to have bathed, and it is held at night because the performance uses lights and lighting. During the day, you can take a walk around the beautiful Huaqing Palace, and after the sun sets, you can watch Jang Han Ga, one of the three greatest performances in China, so it was a great travel course. And I didn't expect much because I bought the ticket because it was famous, but it was surprisingly bigger than I imagined, and the special effects were so spectacular. During the day, the stage rises from what used to be a lake, and stars twinkle on the mountain behind it. If you go all the way to Xi'an, China, I highly recommend this 'Jang Han Ga' as a must-see travel course!

Today was a day filled with history, nature, and art. I began by exploring Huaqing Palace, a site steeped in the romantic legend of Emperor Xuanzong and Yang Guifei. The palace’s serene gardens and ancient hot springs provided a tranquil backdrop for a morning of discovery. Next, I took the Lishan Mountain cable car, which offered breathtaking views of the palace and surrounding landscape. The panoramic vistas from the top were truly unforgettable, blending history and nature seamlessly. The day culminated with a performance of “A Song of Everlasting Sorrow,” a captivating dance drama that brought the Tang Dynasty to life. The combination of these experiences made for a truly memorable day trip.#xian #thingstodo
