    It was a very average experience. Without seeing the performances, the ticket price didn't seem worth it, but the performances cost extra, resulting in low attendance and a lack of vibrancy. The overall experience wasn't great, and they need to adjust their operational strategy. The only redeeming quality was that it was suitable for taking photos in traditional Chinese costumes because there were fewer people.

    The Longest Day in Chang'an is such a wonderful place to visit! The immersive Tang Dynasty setting is absolutely amazing. Taking photos and enjoying the activities is fantastic, and I didn't miss a single thing! I must commend the ticket staff; they were incredibly helpful and patiently answered all my questions. They also issued tickets quickly, saving me no time at all, making for a fantastic experience. Visiting during the off-season meant no queues, which was super convenient. The "Rainbow Feather Dance" was absolutely stunning, and I've already recommended it to my friends. I'll definitely be back!

    My boyfriend and I spent a romantic afternoon at the Xi'an Ancient Town Scenic Area. The shops inside the scenic area were very unique, and we bought some handicrafts as souvenirs. The performance was definitely the highlight; the stage effects were stunning, especially the chapter on the Tang Dynasty's golden age—magnificent and breathtaking. The staff were very friendly and even recommended some new shows for us. This date was absolutely perfect!
