🌟 Datang Everbright City — Xi’an’s Nighttime Wonderland

When the sun sets in Xi’an, the Datang Everbright City (大唐不夜城) lights up into a dazzling world of Tang Dynasty culture and modern nightlife. Stretching nearly 2 km along the Grand Tang Mall, this pedestrian street is a feast for the senses.

✨ What to Experience
• Street Performances — Tang-costumed dancers, musicians, and parades fill the avenue with lively cultural shows.
• Giant Tang Statues — Bronze figures of emperors, scholars, and musicians line the street, perfect for photos.
• Light Displays — Buildings, lanterns, and interactive installations glow in rainbow colors, making the whole street feel like a Tang-style festival.
• Food & Shopping — Snack stalls and trendy shops mix traditional vibes with modern fun.

🌅 Why It’s Special
Unlike ordinary night markets, Datang Everbright City feels like walking through a Tang Dynasty dreamscape — part cultural showcase, part modern entertainment zone. It’s where history, art, and Xi’an’s youthful energy meet.

💡 Tips for Visitors
• 📍 Located south of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda (大雁塔) — best combined with a daytime visit to the pagoda, then stay for the lights at night.
• 🕘 Performances start around 7 PM; arrive early for the best spots.
• 📸 Best photo ops: the giant Tang Dynasty princess statue and the colorful light tunnels.
• 🚇 Easily reached by metro Line 3 or Line 4 (Dayanta Station).
