There is a saying, "The talk of Chang'an." It means that it is a story that everyone talks about, but where is Chang'an? It is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, an ancient city with a thousand-year capital history and three thousand years of history, the current Xi'an in Shaanxi Province. That Chang'an, Xi'an, is a talk of the town again! Climb up the Dayanta (大雁塔, Big Wild Goose Pagoda) to see the Datang Fuyecheng (大唐不夜城, Great Tang City) at a glance and take a full tour of the street. This street is engraved with the stories of the figures who led the story of the Tang Dynasty, such as Emperor Taizong of Tang and Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, and the outstanding figures who created the cultural powerhouse of the time, so you will have to walk around busily as there is so much to see as well as its apparent beauty. The colorful night view of Datang Fuyecheng at night is wonderful. While wandering the streets at night, take in the stories of the Tang Dynasty and its people as they are recreated, and enjoy a delightful culinary experience by picking out some roujiamo (肉夹馍). At Daminggong (大明宫), the center of Tang politics, imagine the prosperous Tang Dynasty while looking at the magnificent palace. At Huiminjie (回民街), an area formed by the Hui ethnic group, enjoy some yangroupaomo (羊肉泡馍), a must-eat when visiting Xi'an, and tour the traditional Gaojiadayuan (高家大院), before watching the shadow play Piyingju (皮影劇), which has a history of 2,000 years. The next day, we climb Zhongnanshan (終南山, Zhongnan Mountain), a mountain famous for its beauty since ancient times, and recite poems about a leisurely life. At the confluence of the Yellow River (黃河, Yellow River) and the Tao River (洮河, Zhao River), we look at the mysterious scenery and listen to the idioms of the ancients who must have pondered many thoughts. For the last journey, we enter the landscape painting of Bingling Temple (炳靈寺, Bingling Grottoes), one of the greatest masterpieces produced by the Yellow River. We conclude our journey of wandering through ancient Chinese stories by savoring the traces of Buddhist culture in the Buddhist grottoes and the silence where the sounds of all things fade away in the Bingling Grottoes (炳靈寺石窟, Bingling Grottoes), which have a thousand years of history. #WorldThemeTravel#ChineseAnecdotesWandering#Chang'an#Xi'an#Da'anTower#DaeTangNeverSleepCity#DaMingPalace#HuiminGa#JongNanSan#BingLingSa
