#Rainy season travel destinations
If you like Chinese historical dramas or have ever dreamed of walking in a palace like the heroine in a series, Hengdian is the place to go! Even though we only have 1 day, we fully packed 3 main zones:
**1. Qin Palace**
Start your trip with the grandeur of the Qin Dynasty. The magnificent scenes make you feel like you have really stepped into the era of Emperor Qin. The tall city walls and grand palace gates. Just walking around makes you feel like you are an actor in the series!
**2. Ming & Qing Dynasties Palace**
This zone gives you a true atmosphere of the old capital, with streets, chambers of commerce, teahouses, red lanterns, and ancient costumes available for rent. Every angle you take pictures in is beautiful, like you have traveled back in time.
**3. Qing Ming Shang He Tu**
This is a replication of a famous ancient painting that has come to life! It is a replica of the city from the painting "Qing Ming Shang He Tu", which tells the story of the way of life of people in ancient times. You can walk around the bridge, market, shops, and houses, with actors dressed in period costumes to add realism.
**Likes:**
* Every scene is realistic, great for taking pictures
* Some staffs are dressed in ancient costumes, creating a great atmosphere
* Trams and maps are available
**Recommendations:**
* The area is very large, you should choose the main points you want to go to first
* It is recommended to wear comfortable shoes because there is a lot of walking
* If you have another day, you will be able to visit more
**Summary:**
Hengdian does not disappoint at all. For those who only have 1 day like us, you can still fully experience the grandeur and historical atmosphere of China. If you like something retro, this is a must-see!
