Huaqing Palace(Huaqing Hot spring, Huaqing Pool)

Huaqing Palace is a famous historical site in Xi'an, known for its royal hot springs from the Tang Dynasty and the story of "The Song of Everlasting Regret". With its exquisite gardens and profound cultural heritage, it is suitable for history enthusiasts and families.

This is a must-visit tourist destination. Every visit offers a different and breathtaking experience. The ancients were right; this place is truly trustworthy. A highly recommended tourist spot!

Following the recommended routes on the signs will ensure you don't miss any attractions. Huaqing Palace is worth visiting; if you don't like climbing, Wujianfang is sufficient, as the attractions on the mountain are mostly modern developments and generally not very impressive (see attached photo).

I bought a combined ticket for Huaqing Palace and Song of Everlasting Regret. But you don't need to buy a ticket for Huaqing Palace to watch Song of Everlasting Regret. I arrived at Huaqing Palace at 5 pm, and there were basically no people. I found a tour guide who took me around. It's a good experience to experience the culture of Huaqing Palace for the first time. If you want to watch Song of Everlasting Regret, you don't need to buy a combined ticket.

This is China's first large-scale real-life historical dance drama. The dance drama is based on Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Regret", which vividly reproduces the story of Li and Yang from meeting to knowing each other, from lingering to separation, and finally meeting in the fairyland of Penglai. With the actors' heartfelt performances, the plot is interlocking and touching. The performance is in Huaqing Palace. If the show is not popular, you can visit Huaqing Pool together with it (but Huaqing Pool is only a stone pool, it depends on your personal preference [dog head]). The whole performance uses various sound and light audio-visual effects, wire suspension, water and fire fusion, and stage props are also very eye-catching. The performance is four times a day, starting at 18:30, 70 minutes per show, even the last show in the evening is often full, which shows its popularity; PS: Since this fearless space is an open-air place, everyone should pay attention to prepare evening coats and rain protection measures. Generally, if the rain does not have much impact, the organizer will issue disposable raincoats.

Yang Guifei and Li Shimin beautiful romantic love story, whether it is with friends, family, couples and couples traveling to Xi'an, this life must see the "long hate song" performance.

Tickets for Huaqing Palace are really a bit expensive...120! ! ! However, it is actually very historical whether it is Yang Guifei's hot spring soup pool, the place where the Xi'an incident occurred, Jiang Jieshi Tibetan Residence, Zhou Youwang's fire drama Zhuhou, or the Lushan cableway worth a visit on the right hand side of the gate of Huaqing Palace. A little more is the gate of Changhen Song... The Changhen Song performance is also very good-looking, but the tickets are also expensive... (Four performances a day during May 1st, the latest one is 23:55, it is too hard! ) Changhenge Square is huge, there are many restaurants and pedicure shops in the shopping mall and small street opposite, you can soak your feet and massage to pass the waiting time before Changhengge ()

Huaqing Palace: Bloody Romance in the Wrinkles of Power The water of Huaqing Pool at the northern foot of Mount Li is still warm, but it can no longer steam the prosperous clouds and smoke of the Kaiyuan and Tianbao years. This hot spring palace, which was crushed by the iron hooves of 3,000 imperial guards, solidified the most gorgeous bloody romance in Chinese history. When the love legend of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and Yang Guifei faded away the romantic filter of literati, Huaqing Palace exposed not only the ruins of white jade carved railings, but also the fatal temptation of an empire in the folds of power. 1. The mirror image of power in the hot spring palace The more than 40 records of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang staying in Huaqing Palace constitute the special coordinates of the political geography of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. More than 100 palaces such as Feishuang Hall, Jiulong Hall, and Mingzhu Hall, which are built on the mountain, interpret the spatial rhetoric of power with exquisite architectural language. The Xingchen Tangchi for the emperor to bathe adopts the "dome-through-the-sky" design, weaving the mist of hot springs and the vastness of the starry sky into a metaphor of power that is in tune with heaven and man. When Xuanzong stretched his body in the lotus soup, the steaming water mist from the hot spring was like a concrete form of power radiation, turning the Lishan Palace into the energy core of the entire empire. 2. The political metaphor of colorful clothes and feathered robes Huaqing Palace witnessed not only the erotic scene of "Bath in Huaqing Pool in Spring Cold", but also the pinnacle of the political aesthetics of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. The "Colorful Clothes and Feathered Robes" choreographed by Yang Yuhuan in Huaqing Palace reconstructed the power order in an artistic form: the huge lineup of 400 dancers, through the precisely choreographed formation changes, reproduced the pyramid structure of the imperial administrative system at the visual level. When the flying sleeves turned into the trajectory of the flow of power, the sound of the 羯鼓 interpreted the rhythm of the bureaucratic system, and this hot spring palace had become a large theater of political power. 3. The historical dialectic of the bloodstains of Mawei In 755, the iron cavalry of An Lushan's rebels crushed the glazed tiles of Huaqing Palace, and also revealed the cruel truth behind the romantic narrative. In the Tang Dynasty Liyuan ruins discovered by archaeologists, the fragments of the pipa inlaid with jewels form a strange dialogue with the broken armor unearthed from Mawei Slope. When Bai Juyi sang sadly in "The Song of Everlasting Sorrow" that "the king covered his face and could not save her", history had already completed the deconstruction of the dual myths of power and love in the panic escape of the Liyuan children and the swords and shadows of the mutiny of the imperial guards. Looking back at the ruins of Huaqing Palace from the contemporary era, the "slippery hot spring water" repeatedly chanted by literati is actually soaked in the complex body fluids of the operation of the power mechanism. When archaeologists discovered the "dragon scale bricks" specially made during the Xuanzong period at the bottom of the Lotus Soup ruins, every piece of clay wrapped in gold foil tells the exquisite domestication of power over matter. The ruins of this palace not only carry the tragedy of individual destiny, but also indicate that any attempt to embed private emotions into the state machine will eventually be crushed into dust in the gears of history. The hot springs in Huaqing Palace have not yet cooled down, but what flows in them is a civilized meditation that has long surpassed romantic imagination.
