"On the night of Shangyuan, when lighting the lights, I dreamed of returning to Chang 'an"



The recently hit "Chang 'an Twelve Hours" suddenly started broadcasting without publicity. I believe many people were shocked by the panoramic view of Chang' an City at the beginning of the first episode, and the picture quality comparable to a movie was instantly on the hot search list.



The entire Chang 'an City is slowly displayed with the camera, allowing people to feel the bustling excitement that overflows the screen. It shows the prosperous Chang' an on the day of the Shang Yuan Festival, and also sets off the atmosphere of a huge conspiracy hidden under this prosperous scene...

Some people can't keep their eyes open because of the tight storyline and extremely highly restored scenes and costumes;


Some people are attracted by the fireworks atmosphere in Chang 'an City. The small characters in each shot are vividly displayed on the screen, and each character has its own vitality.

In the play, the story of Chang 'an City progresses layer by layer, and dangers arise repeatedly; outside the play, people once again focus on this city.Xi'an, the ancient capital of the thirteen dynasties



Even many netizens lamented: "Look at Chang 'an, miss Chang' an","I really want to have the opportunity to go to Xi'an and visit the 108 squares."

qujiangchiIt is the gentle side of Xi'an. The city is built next to the water and thrives along the water; the sculptures on the roadside are of various shapes. Three or two ducks are swimming slowly in the water, and the leaves are swaying with the occasional breeze. Everything is a harmonious scene on a hot summer day.

As night falls, you can shuttle through the snack street full of fireworks, and your nose is filled with the aroma of food; find a century-old restaurant or stop in front of an unnamed stall and taste the roujiamo overflowing with gravy and the steaming hot Hu spicy soup. Steamed buns and cold and clear cold cold noodles, the old flavors of Xi'an are all in your belly.

The Ritz-Carlton, Xi'an

As the first RC in Northwest China, the Ritz-Carlton Xi'an Hotel is located in the most international High-tech Zone, adjacent to the Dayan Pagoda and the ancient city wall that have been baptized by time.

The "iron bump" at the main entrance of the hotel looks plain and even a little heavy during the day, but when the night gets darker, its light will be emitted and become a glowing sphere, reflecting the stars in the reflection of the pool.


When you pass the lobby, you may wish to look up. The ceiling presents a well-defined "square", like a whirlpool, which will "suck you in" after looking for a long time; the "square" of the ceiling and the "round" at the door mean that the sky is round and the earth is square.

Every night at 7 o'clock, there will be a lighting performance on the fireplace at the entrance of the lobby. It is a welcome ceremony belonging to the Tang Dynasty, which instantly pulls you into the "Prosperity of Chang 'an".


All rooms in the hotel are seated facing north to south. The texture of the rooms is extremely strong. The seven treasures patterns representing good wishes are used as decoration, and various materials are scattered all over the corners of the room; the screen next to the floor-to-ceiling glass window is hollow out into the shape of a copper coin, the first ray of sunshine shines through the screen and fills the room.


Outside the floor-to-ceiling glass is Xi'an's spectacular urban landscape. Thousands of homes are littered with lights and stars. The prosperity brings the tranquility of night. It is a completely different visual experience from the daytime.


The spa is decorated gracefully and generously, and the small trees planted outside the window give people a sense of comfort and privacy that is "hidden in the city".

The FLAIR bar located on the top floor of the hotel can be directly accessed by an independent elevator. Sitting on a comfortable sofa cushion feels unreal at the top of the city; you can quietly watch the sunset in the evening, cherish this peaceful time, and wait until the night grows stronger, the atmosphere here will become "crazy"! Let alcohol stimulate your nerves and spend a "trendy" night in the ancient Chang 'an City.



Xi'an Hyatt Regency

Han and Tang palaces in the city


As the only garden hotel in Qujiangchi Ruins Park, Xi'an Hyatt Regency is architecturally enough for the "Tang Dynasty": the walls are abandoned of reinforced concrete and are built on the basis of earthen piles that blend with nature. The central axis divides the hotel area and looks down from the air., such as the Daming Palace in the Tang Dynasty unfolding before your eyes, spectacular and atmospheric!


The hotel is based on the culture of the Tang Dynasty. The four cultural themes of "Prosperity of the Tang Dynasty","Silk Road Style","Auspicious Elements" and "Landscape Chang 'an" run through the entire design and are conveyed in various abstract and concrete ways.

Pomegranate was introduced to China after Zhang Qian was sent to the Western Regions and planted in Chang 'an. Due to its bright flower shape and abundant seeds, it was deeply loved by Imperial Consort Yang and the court, and later became a flower in Xi'an City; In the Hyatt Hotel, you can see decoration with various pomegranate elements everywhere. The round pomegranate sculptures in the Chinese restaurant are lifelike; pomegranate trees are also planted in the garden, which truly admire Hyatt's "pomegranate skirt."

In order to conform to the hotel's background of the Tang Dynasty culture, there is also a special imitation Tang welcome ceremony when entering the hotel: when you step on the red carpet of the hotel, the drums ring, and Tang officials read the welcome speech at the "city gate" and offer wine.

Every Friday at 6 pm, a classical dance on the water will be staged in the lobby, with toes on the water, and each hand lifting and foot lifting. It is full of the gentle and unique style of Chang 'an of the Tang Dynasty. The afterglow shines on the actors and in the water, like Dunhuang flying in the sky. Dance in the clouds...


Chinese elements can be seen everywhere in the rooms, with bedside screen murals painted with traditional Chinese paintings. The all-glass floor-to-ceiling windows are pushed open to a balcony sprinkled with white sand. The outside is covered with fine bamboo forests, fully ensuring the privacy of guests. There are also themed rooms with "pomegranate" as design elements. The bedside background decorative paintings and carpet are printed with pomegranate element patterns, melting Xi'an City flowers into every corner.


If you go to a city and choose a hotel where you can eat all the local food without going out, it must be Hyatt.


Hyatt integrates the taste buds of each city's hometown into its restaurants. In addition to injecting innovative souls based on authentic food, the decoration style also closely follows the hotel's background style;
