🗺️ When you go to Xi'an, you can't miss one of the most brilliant buildings of the prosperous Tang Dynasty - the Danfengmen Site Museum! This was originally the southern gate of the Daming Palace, and was also the ceremonial entrance for the emperor to ascend the throne and receive the congratulations of the world. Its status is equivalent to the Meridian Gate of the Forbidden City💥.

🏛️ Exhibition Hall Experience:
• As soon as you enter, you will see the restored version of the ruins of Danfengmen, and the grandeur is immediately breathtaking! The door is 16 meters high and 74 meters wide, and although it was rebuilt based on the site, it remains full of momentum.
• There are several exhibition areas, including archaeological unearthed artifacts display, Tang Dynasty architectural technology introduction, 3D restoration video, and an interactive experience area that simulates traveling through the Tang Dynasty.
• Specially recommended to watch ** "Daming Palace Danfengmen Immersive Video"**, using 4D surround projection to restore the palace scenes of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, super shocking!
