Tang Paradise, Xian

Route 61 Day Tang Culture Discovery of Tang Paradise - Qujiang Site Park

If you are interested in the culture of the glorious Tang Dynasty, why not spend a day at the Tang Paradise which is believed to be one of the first traditional Chinese classical gardens. It is located in the Qujiang New District and is a royal garden park, which displays ancient China's customs, business exchange, amusements and sports. A wonderful program of dance shows are performed in different halls every day. The water screen film show in the central park at night is especially worth watching. We advise visitors to bring food with them rather than buying it here however, because the food inside is very expensive and not tempting. Take bus No. 609 from the Bell Tower and alight at the terminal stop. (13 stops in total for only RMB1 per person). If you prefer to take a taxi, it usually costs RMB28. (12 kilometers). The entrance charge is RMB68 per person.

Within walking distance, you'll also find the largest musical fountain in Asia. It is situated in the south square of the Big Wild Goose pagoda. Time permitting, move on to the Qujiang Site Park near to the Big Goose Pagoda, which is a newly developed park comprising the historical landscape of Qujiang south Lake, the Qujiang Liuyin, the Hanwu stream, the Yichun garden and other features of cultural interest. It is a good place to relax but is also equipped for business visitors, exhibitions and conferences. Activities to be enjoyed here include cycling, boating and simply taking a stroll can all be the good choice. The best part is that the park is open to all and is free to enter.
