📍 Location: Kunming Pool Qixi Park is located on Kunchi Avenue, Chang'an District, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province, in the Fengdong New City of the Xixian New Area.

✅ Attractions
- Historical and Cultural Attractions: The statue of Emperor Wu of Han stands majestically in the park, giving visitors a glimpse into the emperor's brilliance and ambition. Stone Grandpa and Stone Grandma, symbolizing "Cowherd" and "Weaver Girl," gaze at each other across Kunming Pool, witnessing nearly two thousand years of historical changes. They are strong evidence that the legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl originated here.

- Natural Scenery: Qixi Lake shimmers with clear water, surrounded by lush greenery. The Magpie Bridge gracefully spans the lake, exuding romance. There's also Lotus Island, where lotus flowers bloom every summer, creating an intoxicating scene of "endless green lotus leaves against the sky, and uniquely red lotus flowers reflecting the sun."

- Distinctive Architectural Attractions: The Pan Yi Terrace is a great place to get close to the water and experience the lake's vitality. The Heaven and Earth Corridor showcases rich history, culture, and folk customs. The twenty-six Chinese wedding sculptures vividly depict wedding customs from different periods, which is quite interesting.
