The best place to experience the Tang Dynasty is not the Grand Tang Mall, but Xi'an Daming Palace.

Xi'an Daming Palace National Heritage Park is located on Longshou Plain, north of Xi'an. It was one of the three main palaces of Tang Chang'an City and the political, economic, and cultural center of the Tang Dynasty. Although it was repaired and expanded many times, it was eventually destroyed in the wars at the end of the Tang Dynasty. Daming Palace was built during the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang. It covers an area of 3.2 square kilometers, five times the size of the Forbidden City. From the reign of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, 17 emperors lived here and handled state affairs for 240 years. It was the largest palace complex in the world at that time and one of the most magnificent architectural complexes in the world, fully reflecting the prosperity and strength of the Tang Dynasty. In 2010, Xi'an City built Daming Palace National Heritage Park on the original site of Daming Palace. Although what you see now is a ruin, only the outline and traces of the former palace complex, it is the most direct reflection of the Tang Dynasty, a cultural treasure house with a long history. Here, you can feel the majesty and life of the Tang emperors. When you enter Daming Palace National Heritage Park, the colors of autumn cover this ancient land with a gorgeous coat. It is not only a window to explore the history and culture of the Tang Dynasty, but also a beautiful natural resort. Tourists and citizens come here in an endless stream. If you want to see the Tang Dynasty, come to Xi'an Daming Palace National Heritage Park! 📝Tips: 🔹Tickets🎫: CNY 60.
