[2025 Xi'an Attraction] Travel Guide for Tang West Market Museum (Updated Feb)

❤ Recommended reason: The Silk Road, which stretches for tens of thousands of miles and has been in existence for thousands of years, was opened by Zhang Qian in the Han Dynasty. By the Tang Dynasty, its starting point had moved to the West Market and its surrounding areas. 🌟 Highlights: In 2010, the Tang West Market Museum was built on the site of the Tang West Market. Inside the museum, there is a glass-floored exhibition hall, with the excavated ruins under the glass. Further on, there is an open exhibition area, which displays the northeast cross street, the intersection of East Street and North Street in the West Market, and a stone bridge ruin excavated on the north side of the northeast cross street in the West Market. 👍 Most recommended: The Tang West Market was described by Ban Gu as "people cannot look back, and cars cannot turn around." The market in the Tang Dynasty was more prosperous than that in the Han Dynasty, with more than 40,000 fixed shops. 📝 Tips: Museum ticket: CNY 60

📍Chang'an in the Past and Present I visited Xi'an with my family when I was a child and went to the Terracotta Army and Mount Hua. This time I went with friends and wanted to visit the Shaanxi History Museum and then go shopping and eating. Unfortunately, it was too difficult to book tickets for the Shaanxi History Museum during the holidays, so we ended up visiting the Daming Palace West Market Museum, which doesn't require reservations. Day 11️⃣ I landed in Xi'an early in the morning and didn't have breakfast, so I went to the Xiaonanmen Morning Market with my luggage. Later, I heard from a friend in Shaanxi that locals don't really go there, and it's become popular online. Indeed, the food wasn't particularly impressive. During the National Day holiday, the Tang Dynasty Everbright City only has performances in the afternoon. I also went to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and took a picture of the Xuanzang statue in front of the south square of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda at sunset! Day 2️⃣ During the day, the snacks at Sajin Bridge are endless. There's a restaurant called Lao Liu's Beef and Mutton Paomo that I personally think is very delicious! In the afternoon, I walked from Defu Lane to Xiangzi Temple Street to Shuyuanmen, and then to the city wall. At sunset, I walked along the city wall. There were a lot of people at the Bell Tower in the evening, all beautiful women in ancient costumes taking photos 😂 Let's just take a picture of the illuminated Bell Tower. Looking at the traffic flowing in front of the city wall, it's the ancient capital of the thirteen dynasties from ancient times to the present!

✅ Life Advice: Be sure to visit Datang West Market on a Saturday! 👍 Highly Recommended: The best time to visit Datang West Market is on a Saturday, when there is a weekly large-scale cultural playthings trade market, which everyone calls the 'Ghost Market'. The name sounds interesting, doesn't it? Those who have seen 'The Lost Tomb' series should find this name familiar! If you're interested in antiques or second-hand markets, I highly recommend a stroll through Datang West Market. Datang West Market is rebuilt on the site of previous ruins and should be considered the true 'Starting Point of the Silk Road'! Not only does it have the Datang West Market Hotel and the Datang West Market Museum (no reservation required, just scan the code to enter, and here you'll learn that the so-called 'shopping' originated from the Datang West Market and the East Market, which is really enlightening!), but there is also a Silk Road-themed street, where you can experience exotic cultures without leaving home. Wandering between the Datang West Market Museum and the Silk Road-themed street, one can glimpse the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and feel the historical depth that spans ancient and modern times. There are also occasional food festivals held here, allowing you to enjoy the flavors of the Silk Road while indulging in the delicious tastes of Shaanxi cuisine. 🌟 Highlights: The upper level of Datang West Market is where the stalls are set up, with vendors laying out their goods on the ground for sale, which is down-to-earth and lively. This is the life of ordinary people, and their passion! The lower level houses the Datang West Market International Antique City, with a vast array of items!! There are amber, jadeite, beeswax, turquoise, cinnabar, various gemstones, agarwood, walnuts, different kinds of diamonds... and many jewelry design and processing stores. 📍 Detailed Address: No. 118, South Laodong Road, Lianhu District, Xi'an 🚉 Transportation Tips: Take Metro Line 5 to Northwestern Polytechnical University or Metro Line 6 to Datang West Market Station, and it's just a seven or eight-minute stroll away. 🕙 Opening Hours: Every Saturday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, after five o'clock, there will be a food and drink market on the streets, replacing the daytime activities. In the evening, the second-floor themed street is very suitable for taking photos in Hanfu. Ladies who want to take photos in Hanfu should definitely go for it!!! ❤️ Tips! 1. The prices are quite magical; as long as you dare to think, nothing is impossible. However, if you don't understand, it's better to look more and buy less, as it's easy to fall into traps! 2. There is a place where you can get a stamp at the Silk Road-themed street's Xiyou Friendship Market, which opens around four o'clock on Saturday afternoons. The stamps are very pretty.

The Silk Road style street of the Tang Dynasty West Market is an international experiential business and cultural block based on the ruins of the Sui and Tang Dynasties West Market, with the Silk Road culture as the theme, the prosperous Tang Dynasty industries as the form, and the antique buildings as the carrier. In this highly characteristic cultural pedestrian street, it condenses the local customs, historical features, and cultural landscapes along the Silk Road of the year. Every time night falls, the decorated Tang Dynasty West Market Silk Road style street has a different style. When you step into the Silk Road style street, you suddenly feel out of the world. There is a bit more romance and leisure time here. The small vendors on both sides of the street offer a variety of small commodities, which also add a lot of color. Geographic location: No. 118 Labor South Road, Lianhu District, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province, 670m walk from Exit E of Northwest Polytechnic University Station on Metro Line 6.
