    The daytime and nighttime views are both fantastic! 👍🏻 The park offers a variety of activities and is definitely worth a visit. We strolled around before dark and stayed until nightfall – the nighttime views were absolutely amazing! Next time, we'll definitely go with friends in a different season! ✌🏻

    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!

    We took the kids to Xi'an Ancient Love Park for a relaxing weekend, and it was a wonderful experience! The park's paths were wide, making it easy to push strollers. The children's play area was the best part; it was clean, the facilities were safe, and the kids had a blast. The staff were also very helpful, making things much easier for me. There were also many other activities suitable for children, making this trip definitely worthwhile.

    Superb! A big thumbs up! 👍 The professional explanations were incredibly insightful; a huge thumbs up to Ms. Wang Shan, no wonder she has a formal history background! I've visited many museums, but I never expected Shaanxi Archaeology to provide such a wonderful experience. Highly recommended!!
