Daming Palace in Xi’an

Visiting the site of the old Palace with its historical significance for the city of Xi’an, it was like taking a walk through time. I enjoyed the landscape, the design was mimicking the Chinese traditional landscape garden with its rockeries, plants and water. The 1:15 scaled model of the palace was one of the highlights of my visit as well as the vestiges of the colossal gate that did not stand the test of time and wars, but through its remaining, we can still grasp its importance and beauty. #xian #damingpalace #chineseculture #chinesearchitecture

Xi'an is an ancient capital of China which had been known as Chang' An city. The land is preserving immense amount of cultural relics and historical places. One of them is Daming Place National Heritage Park or Daming Gong 大明宫. The place served as recreation Palace for the most famous Chinese Empress Wuza Tian. Yeah, we can only imagine how could Her Highness have a fun in her own Palace, whatever, it was truly impressive and unusual even for that time. The area of park is divided for two parts, one of them is for free, but another requires admission ticket. It was interesting to have a chance to take a look at ruins of such place, which includes underground section for visitors. The installation in small size represents Daming Gong in a view like it has been built in ancient time with houses and wall around and gates. Me and my curious wife spent there half of the day. #themepark#culturalattractions#bestislandtraveltowns#museumquest#beautifulsunsets#themeparks#historicculture

Daming Palace Heritage Park

A piece or tranquility from the busy city. A wide open space with a children play park and a long running track. The hop-on, hop-off train is a good idea to see the whole for 40RMB per person over 1.2m. The park and toilets are exceptionally clean and well looked after. The best bit is that it is peaceful and no tatty rides. #historicculture#summervacation

Shaanxi, Xi'an. This is Da Ming Palace aka 大明宫. Area is big and allow to walk for long time and enjoy the good weather. This place was ex residence of very famous person... Wuza Tian. Yes, that was her recreation Palace. It is hard to imagine how great the celebrations were there. Now this is ruins. Platforms are well preserved and looks pretty interesting. The small reconstruction with all this tiny houses and pavilions looks amazing. I'm intrigued whether or not the palace will be restored in natural size. It must be amazing. #holidayvacation#wintergetaway

What do you think of when you see such a large palace complex? Forbidden City? No, this is the Tang Daming Palace, the political center of the Tang Dynasty, which was four times larger in history than the Forbidden City, three times larger than Versailles and 12 times larger than the Kremlin. It is a pity that Daming Palace has long been ruined by war. The millennium has also blown away his glory and history. The magnificent building complex you see today is just a restored model.

[A music restaurant bar that is especially suitable for dating - light time] Yesterday, in the ancient city of Xian Daming Palace Ruins Park, I met a high-value music restaurant bar, which is more than the traditional music restaurant.

Xi'an Tang Daming Palace National Heritage Park.

Xi'an Daming Palace was built between the eighth year of the Zhenguan period of Emperor Taizong of Tang and the Longshuo period of Emperor Gaozong of Tang. The famous Tang poet and minister Du Shenyan described the grandeur of Chang'an Daming Palace: "The Big Dipper hangs on the edge of the city, and the southern mountains await before the palace. Clouds mark the distant golden palace, and the jade hall hangs on the treetops. Halfway up the mountain, good fortune flows, and the central peak is surrounded by auspicious smoke." Daming Palace is the pinnacle of ancient Chinese palace architecture. Its court architectural style and layout directly became the paradigm for palace architecture in various dynasties after the Tang Dynasty. The Daming Palace site is located in the southeast of Xi'an City Wall. Since the excavation of the Linde Hall site by the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1957, the excavation, protection, and construction of the Daming Palace site have been ongoing for more than half a century. In 1961, the State Council listed the Daming Palace site as one of the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units.
