🌸 It's "Clouds think of her dress, flowers think of her face, spring breeze brushes the threshold, and dew glistens brightly," and also "On the seventh day of the seventh month at the Hall of Eternal Life, whispering secrets in the dead of night." I spent a day at Huaqing Palace in Xi'an, embodying the Yang Yuhuan depicted in poets' verses, immersing myself in the grandeur of the Tang Dynasty.
✨📸【Top Photo Spots】
1️⃣ Furong Lake Reflection
Best time: 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM, when the light is soft.
Tip: Crouch low to capture the water's reflection! You can take stunning photos with the Hall of Eternal Life as the backdrop.
2️⃣ Wangjing Gate Red Wall
Stand there in Hanfu, and you'll look like a Tang Dynasty princess on the run.
3️⃣ Beauty Wall
A newly popular spot! The combination of the noble consort and flowers is simply breathtaking!
Tip: Mimic the pose of the consort gently touching her cheek for the best shots.
✏️ Recommended Route:
😜 1. Enter through either Jinyang Gate or Wangjing Gate.
💦 2. Jiulong Lake: At night, enjoy the "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" performance, depicting the tragic love story of Emperor Xuanzong and Yang Yuhuan.
🌹 3. Furong Lake: Pavilions, bridges, and the Magpie Bridge Waterfall, where you can also see the "Hall of Eternal Life" mentioned in poetry. The early summer light and shadows are mesmerizing.
🧡 4. Imperial Hot Spring Ruins Museum: Get a close look at where Yang Yuhuan bathed and learn about ancient bathing culture.
💥 5. Lishan Mountain: You can take a cable car to tour Lishan, but walking up the mountain is highly recommended to experience its unique scenery.
😮 6. Laomu Palace: Located at the top of Lishan Mountain, it is accessible by car.
