The Everlasting City of the Tang Dynasty is at the foot of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, starting from Xuanzang Square in the north and ending at the Tang City Wall Ruins Park in the south. In Xi'an, the Tang Dynasty Evernight City is a very popular tourist attraction. Because here, not only can you relax, take photos, shop, eat and drink, but you can also appreciate the ancient charm of the Tang Dynasty and learn a lot about traditional Chinese culture.
The entire Tang Dynasty Evernight City is based on the culture of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. The architectural style incorporates a large number of Tang style elements. There are three themed squares (Xuanzang Square, Zhenguan Square, Kaiyuan Square), six imitation Tang Dynasty blocks, four The large cultural and art halls (Xi'an Concert Hall, Xi'an Grand Theater, Qujiang Cinema City, Shaanxi Artists Gallery), coupled with various theatrical performances, have a strong sense of time travel in them, as if they have returned to the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty, with "a The feeling of seeing all the flowers in Chang'an in one day.
As the name suggests, the city that never sleeps is definitely best visited at night. Indeed, the city that never sleeps at night is really beautiful, and it can even be described as spectacular. At night, the entire city that never sleeps is brightly lit, with dazzling lights and colorful colors. Even if you are not in the city that never sleeps, you can still see the light emanating from it and the lively scenes inside.
With the rise of online short videos, Datang Evernight City became an Internet sensation overnight, and tourists from all over the country flocked here to visit it. In November last year, a short video of "The Gods Holding Hands" by the "roly-poly lady" from Datang Everlasting City quickly became popular on Douyin. In the video, she transformed into "Tang Niu" with a light figure, dancing lightly with her fan, and gently placing her hand on the audience's hand (the lady only holds the girl's hand, and the boy only uses the fan), accompanied by the music of "Myth" , every frown and smile vividly interprets the charm and shyness of the Tang Dynasty beauties, as if pulling people back to the Tang Dynasty in an instant.
In addition to the "roly-poly" performance, there are also many unique and interesting street performance art performances in the Evernight City of the Tang Dynasty, such as the flower fairy, the goddess of the Tang Dynasty, the suspended warrior, and the stone man (making the stone man laugh) is my greatest pleasure) etc., these street performance art performances are all performed by real people, attracting many netizens to come here to "check in". There is also a voice-activated fountain that allows you to cheer as much as you want, let go of your voice and shout to relieve stress and make you feel happy. Combining static buildings, sculptures, street scenes with dynamic art performances, and adding cheers and applause from tourists, it completely makes the Evernight City of Tang Dynasty boil. This may be the reason why she became famous on the Internet!
Another major attraction of the Evernight City of the Tang Dynasty is the sculpture group on its central axis, including prosperous emperors, historical figures, heroic stories and classic works of art. Strolling beside the sculptures, familiar names such as Li Bai, Du Fu, Liu Zongyuan, Wang Changling, Wang Wei, Bai Juyi, Wu Daozi, Liu Gongquan, etc. and familiar Tang poems come into view, as well as historical allusions such as "Fang Mou Du Duan" etc. If your child is still a primary school student, it may be better to go here to learn and teach on-site than to memorize by rote from books.
The sculptural landscape of the Evernight City of the Tang Dynasty is said to have been created by famous masters. It is their careful "carving" that shows the supreme status of the Tang Empire in the fields of religion, literature, art and other fields. The prosperous atmosphere contained in this piece of land fully reflects Xi'an's profound cultural charm and can be called the city's business card.
When you go to Xi'an, you must have a delicious meal to make your trip worthwhile. Xi'an is full of snacks, many of which are century-old. In addition to familiar delicacies such as mutton steamed buns and roujiamo, there are also specialty snacks such as thousand-layer puff pastry, bubble oil cake, and steamer cake. Some people say that for snacks, you should go to Huimin Street, and some people say to go to Sajin Bridge. In fact, Xi'an people may go most to those inconspicuous stores in the streets and alleys. Of course, as a foreign tourist, it is difficult to find them. Even if you open the navigation, When you arrive, you will find that you can't find it at all. The route in the alley is as chaotic as the Kowloon Walled City in the movie.
Yongxingfang in the east of the city is the Shaanxi Intangible Cultural Heritage Food Culture Block. As the first block in the country with the theme of intangible cultural heritage, it has hundreds of famous snacks from all over Shaanxi, including Thousand Layer Pancakes, Chengdu Fried Rice Cake, etc. Cheng mutton bubbles, Zizhou fruit stuffing, Qishan dough, Qishan noodles, Tongguan steamed buns, Dali elbows, Lantian buckwheat noodles, Liquan glutinous rice, Xingping peppers, Qinzhen rice noodles, mutton soup It has everything from Xue to Binxian Royal Noodles, etc. It is said to have 108 kinds of delicacies from southern Shaanxi, northern Shaanxi and Guanzhong. Come to this "one-stop Shaanxi gourmet" dream and you will be satisfied.
Like the city that never sleeps, Yongxingfang also became popular on the Internet for throwing bowls of wine. Someone on the Internet said that since Douyin singing "Under the walls of Xi'an people is the train of Xi'an people" became popular on the Internet, Yongxingfang, which used to be deserted, was like a hydropower station dam opening the flood gate, and tourists came in droves. , the palm-sized Yongxingfang has a daily flow of 180,000 people, while the Muslim Street, which has been booming for many years, only has 150,000 people a day. I guess the mood in Huimin Street must be sour, as if the eldest lady who has always been bossy is suddenly upstaged by the new concubine. Although the eldest lady really doesn't like the master's new favorite, she wants to kick her. He drowned in the well, but due to the majesty of the master, he could only swallow this feeling of cowardice.
Yongxingfang is one of the 108 houses in the Tang Dynasty. It was the residence of Wei Zheng, the admonishing minister. The current Yongxingfang is based on the Ming and Qing Dynasty antique building clusters, and is a combination of Guanzhong archways and traditional folk buildings to form a Gulifang-style layout. There are 108 miniature landscapes of Chang'an City in the block, showing the neighborhoods of ancient Chang'an City. style and historical life atmosphere, as well as traditional folk life space.
In addition to eating snacks, you can also experience Xi'an's profound Lifang culture here. It is said that Yu Wenkai, the designer of Chang'an City, used an urban layout like a Go board to surround the palace city and the imperial city with 110 lanes, forming a neat and symmetrical Chang'an lane, which can be called a model of urban planning and layout. Therefore, when the great poet Bai Juyi climbed to the Guanyin Tower and looked at the entire city of Chang'an, he sighed: "Thousands of houses are like chess boards, and twelve streets are like vegetable beds"!
A city’s style, city’s context, and city’s development dynamics all carry a piece of history. Millions of people from the Tang Dynasty once lived in Chang'an. They built houses, planted bamboos and willows here, and staged the story of the Tang Dynasty for nearly three hundred years. As an ancient capital, Xi'an should explore and inherit it well, because it is culture and memory.
