At twelve o'clock in Huaqing Palace, pursue the dreamlike prosperity of the Tang Dynasty

This summer, if you want to talk about how popular "Chang 'an Twelve Hours" is now, you can omit 1,800 words here.
The oil-painting scenes of the Tang Dynasty in the play not only make the Tang Dynasty makeup and the delicious food in the play popular
It also made Xi'an, the location where the Tang Dynasty weather was filmed, popular again.
If you only have one day in Xi'an, I recommend you to come to Huaqing Palace.
The twelve o'clock in the Huaqing Palace version is definitely the best way to dream back to the Tang Dynasty.

I came to Huaqing Palace because of a long-lasting love story.
I have watched a lot of travel dramas, and for the first time in my life, starred in my own "Tang Crossing".
When my favorite straw hat dress met the Hanfu I had never tried before,
A journey began here.

Change into Han clothes, light silk small fans, and dark fragrant flower shadows.
Indulge in the exquisiteness and elegance of Tang style paintings,

Chang 'an twelve o'clock, where should we start???

Morning: Thousands of miles of smoke, the shower begins to stop

Chen: 00 (7 - 9:00)
Thousands of miles of smoke, the shower is beginning to stop
Dream back when a beautiful woman is bathing
@ Tang Yutang Ruins Museum

In the second episode of "Chang 'an Twelve Hours", Li Mi mentioned that the saint lived in the "Hot Spring Palace" for a long time. This "Hot Spring Palace" is the Huaqing Palace, where Emperor Xuanzong and Imperial Consort Yang lived for ten years. Yutang, which has a history of using hot springs for 6000 years, is the only royal bathing resort in China. Emperors such as the Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang dynasties built palaces here, but the Huaqing Palace we visit today is mainly themed with Tang culture. There were relatively few people when the park first opened in the morning, so it was the most suitable time to visit the Tang Yutang ruins, which had the largest number of people in ordinary times.

There are five Tangchi ruins excavated today, namely, the Begonia Soup of Imperial Concubine Yang, the Lotus Soup of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the Star Soup of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, the Prince Soup of the Prince Bathed by Princes, and the Shangshi Soup for the Dietary Officials. Among them, the most interesting thing is of course the Begonia soup that the imperial concubine takes a bath. This soup pond was given to Imperial Consort Yang as a love gift by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. From a glance, it looks like a blooming crabapple flower, hence the name. Although the beautiful woman has died, the ruins of the Tangchi made of ink and jade remind people of Bai Juyi's description in the Song of Eternal Regret: "The cold spring gives you a bath in Huaqing Pool, and the hot spring washes you and condenses your fat."

The exclusive "Lotus Soup" of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty is also known as the "Imperial Soup Nine Dragons Hall" and is very imposing. The largest one is Tang Taizong's Star Soup, next to which is the ruins of the sleeping hall where he can rest after bathing.

You can also see the hot spring water source of Huaqing Palace at the Tangchi Ruins. The water inside is really pure. It is said that the water temperature here remains at around 43 ° C all year round. It is rich in various minerals and should be very beneficial to the human body. If time permits, it is also a kind of enjoyment to soak in soup here and experience the treatment of an imperial concubine.

Si: Furong Lake, intoxicated by the beauty of Han costumes for thousands of years

Si o'clock (9 - 11 o'clock)
On the shores of Furong Lake, listen to the wind
Indulge in the beauty of Han costumes for thousands of years
@ Feishuang Hall @ Jiulong Lake @ Changsheng Hall @ Furong Lake

When I followed the drama "Chang 'an Twelve Hours", I had a wish, hoping that one day I could return to the Tang Dynasty to be a classical woman. This time I came to Huaqing Palace, it can be said that my long-cherished wish has been fulfilled!

After dressing up, I looked in the mirror and couldn't help but be intoxicated by the beauty of Han costumes that spanned thousands of years. The hairstyles of beaded flowers and tassel and cloud-side phoenix hairpins do not seem complicated, but in actual operation, they are full of twists and turns. Fortunately, the final result is very satisfactory, so girls like me with short hair don't have to worry about makeup and can confidently try Hanfu.

The most suitable place in Huaqing Palace to shoot Han costumes is the royal garden area centered on Jiulong Lake and Furong Lake. Jiulong Lake faces the Flying Frost Hall. The pavilions and towers around the lake are very exquisite. The dance drama "Song of Eternal Regret" at night uses this gorgeous lake water as the stage.

Feishuang Hall was the sleeping hall of Emperor Xuanzong and Imperial Consort Yang in Huaqing Palace of the Tang Dynasty, and was also regarded as the Second Emperor's Palace. I like the origin of this name very much: When it comes to snowy weather, the surface temperature of the underground hot springs of Huaqing Palace is relatively high. When the hot air rises, it blends with the snow and turns the snow into frost, so it is called Flying Frost Hall. If I have the opportunity, I really want to come again in winter and see the wonderful scene of turning snow into frost.

Which do you prefer, modern or classical?

Walking through the vermilion pillars, I always felt that something was missing in my hands. I bought a small Qingluo fan at the Art Museum of the Song of Sorrow, a real-life dance drama drama next to the Feishuang Hall, and immediately the feelings of a woman in the Tang Dynasty came to life ~

Walking through the verandah hung down by strings of red lanterns, wherever you can see, you move your steps and change the scenery, unfolding a gorgeous picture of the Tang style. Compared with the magnificent and gorgeous Jiulong Lake, Furong Lake, which reflects the flowers and leaves, looks more graceful and beautiful. After all, this is the place where Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and Imperial Concubine Yang made an agreement on the "Qixi Oath", the Hall of Longevity.

I like to watch the majestic figure of the Temple of Longevity from afar under the small bridge and flowing water and beside the lotus pond, secretly chanting the poem in Bai Juyi's "Song of Eternal Regret":"On July 7th, in the Temple of Longevity, no one is whispering in the middle of the night. In heaven, I wish to be a bird with wings, and on earth, I wish to be a connecting branch." Looking from afar always gives people more space for daydreaming.

The breeze blew and the clothes fluttered. Light Luo small fan, dark fragrant flower shadows. Walking in this royal garden where a great love was forged, wearing Han costumes, I couldn't help but feel as if I really came from a Tang Dynasty woman.

Noon: The royal banquet at the palace, feast on your heart

11:00 p.m. to 13:00 p.m., enjoy the royal banquet
Taste the Qin and Tang delicacies in Imperial Garden @ Imperial Garden

If you want to enjoy the style of Huaqing Palace, a whole day is definitely not enough. Noon is the time to store energy. What should I eat? Not far from Furong Lake, there is an equally antique building. This is the restaurant in Huaqing Yutang Hotel, Imperial Dining Garden. The restaurant specializes in palace cuisine and traditional Shaanxi cuisine. If you eat in Huaqing Palace, this is the best choice.

The light and luxurious Chinese decoration very well suits the imperial style of Huaqing Palace. The few dishes we ordered are very excellent and deserve a special ticket circle to recommend them.
Laoshan gourd chicken: gourd chicken is a famous dish in Shaanxi. It originated in the Tang Dynasty and is very consistent with the Tang culture of Huaqing Palace. The chicken has gone through three steps of clear boiling, steaming and frying, and the whole has a charming golden yellow color and looks mouth-watering. The shop assistant personally deboned the bones on site and could later restore it to the shape of a whole chicken. The taste can be described as bursting! The real crispy skin and tender meat, and the chopsticks melt immediately after they are peeled off the bones and eaten in the mouth ~ Recommended for vomiting blood

One bite: The mini version of Roujiamo, at first glance, looks like a plate of macarons, very suitable for girls ~

Oil doused noodles and minced noodles: Needless to say, I have never eaten anything that tastes bad in Xi'an ~

Stone pot fried jelly: It is improved from traditional Xi'an jelly. The original method is cold. The fried flour is used here. It is full of ingredients, fragrant and chewy. After being identified by a senior fan like me, I can get a full score without hesitation.

Steamed cold rice noodles with seasonal vegetables: Xi'an people love cold rice noodles so much. Cold rice noodles made with three-color vegetable juice are very refreshing and must be ordered in summer.

In the future: Feather clothes and colorful clothes, pear garden style

13 - 15 o'clock
Feather clothes and colorful clothes, the style of pear garden
Huaqing Palace in the Museum

@ Treasure Museum @ Tangliyuan Ruins Museum

The sun is shining at noon. The best choice in Huaqing Palace is to visit the indoor museum. You can not only have a more comprehensive understanding of Huaqing Palace and Tang culture, but also successfully escape the heat. The Treasure Museum, not far from Jiulong Lake, displays and collects many precious historical relics of Huaqing Palace. The second floor is the Xi'an Incident Memorial Hall, where you can see many precious historical materials and understand this history better. In the afternoon, we are going to watch the performance of "1212" Xi'an Incident, and we are very moved here.

In Huaqing Palace, my favorite museum is actually the Tang Liyuan Site Museum. This is the only Tang Liyuan Site excavated and unearthed in China. It was discovered in 1995. Liyuan disciples also have a soup pond here. As we all know, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty not only had the talent of an emperor, but was also very proficient in music, so he built a pear garden in Huaqing Palace, and together with Imperial Consort Yang, he "studied" many exquisite art of singing and dancing here.

The museum takes Dream Seeking Pear Garden as its theme and is divided into three parts: Shengshi Huazhang, Dream Seeking in Pear Garden, and Ancestral Garden in Pear Garden. The design of the space is very flexible, and the display method of cultural relics is also very novel. Many technological means are used to restore the style of the pear garden, and an interactive experience is also designed, which is surprisingly interesting.

Shenshi: There is a meeting of clouds and clouds, and there is a fierce battle for remonstrance

From 15 to 17 o'clock, the wind and clouds meet, and the war is fierce
Pursuing the shocking inside story of the Xi'an Incident
@ Yaoguang Pavilion
Although Huaqing Palace is most famous for its love story between Emperor Xuanzong and Imperial Consort Yang, in fact, the Xi'an Incident that shocked China and abroad occurred here. So I arranged this "1212" performance for myself to restore history in the "place where history took place."

The "1212" Xi'an Incident was performed in an immersive manner. As soon as we entered the venue, we were infected by the strong atmosphere of war of the Republic of China and entered the state of national resistance. At the scene, we were both audiences and actors, and we were immersed in the events of that special era.

This performance shows the destiny choices of the Chinese people in times of crisis from different perspectives. What it shows is only a short period of time before and after the "Xi'an Incident", but it depicts the hearts of the characters very deeply. In particular, the scene used high-tech stage means, used screen props that combined reality and reality, and integrated different expressions of movies and dramas, allowing us to follow Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng, fall into the whirlpool of the destiny of our country and the nation, and make choices for our lives. And ups and downs.

The 1:1 restoration of Chiang Kai-shek's special plane was extremely shocking. The streets of the Republic of China with a strong atmosphere of the city were very real, but the scene that moved me most was that before the decision to "remonstrate", the stage used modern sound and light images to express Zhang Xueliang's inner war. This should be the most touching historical drama with the main theme I have ever seen. It is not stiff or preachy, and it can easily be put into the hearts of the characters. People's destiny seems so small in the torrent of history, but people's choices can change the course of history!

From 17:00 to 19:00 in Youshi, Li Mountain is fading away
Be a literary youth exploring history
@ Huanyuan @ Cultural and Creative Center

Huanyuan, located to the east of the "Tang Yutang Ruins Museum", was built in the Qing Dynasty. This was originally a post house of the imperial court, full of Jiangnan garden characteristics and very elegant. There is also a pomegranate tree more than 500 years old by the pond, which is still fruitful today. When the Eight-Power Allied Forces attacked Beijing in 1900, when Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu fled to Xi'an, they stayed in the "Huanyuan" when they traveled back and forth through Lintong.

The five halls around the park were where Chiang Kai-shek worked and lived during his stay in Xi'an. I just finished watching the performance of "1212" Xi'an Incident, and I am really sad to visit here again. The bullet holes left by the "Xi'an Incident" can still be seen today.

Before the performance of "Song of Eternal Regret" started, Huaqing Palace would clear the venue to prepare for the stage. The last moment before temporarily leaving is the happy time for shopping in the Cultural and Creative Center. Huaqing Cultural Creation is full of Tang Dynasty characteristics and integrates traditional culture into current daily life. The Mengdi Mengfei series, hand-made stationery series, and daily necessities series are all designed to be both practical and interesting. Moreover, there are two high-tech interactive experiences here. You can GET Sichuan opera's face changing in one minute, or you can change Han costumes in seconds to experience the empress's costumes.

From 19:00 to 21:00, the night is short, and the summer dream is long
Watch a "Song of Eternal Regret" on the landscape stage
@ Jiulong Lake

The beauty of Huaqing Palace is not only the beauty of scenery and architecture, but also the large-scale live-action dance drama "Song of Eternal Sorrow" that debuts at the finale. The mountains serve as the curtain and the water serves as the stage. Only in Huaqing Palace can the love story between Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and Imperial Consort Yang be truly restored.

I have always felt that the night view of ancient buildings has the most transformative atmosphere. At the beginning of the lanterns, the hustle and bustle of the day were eliminated. The shadows of the trees were mottled, and the blurred and yellow light blurred the traces of the times, leaving only the shadows of the old dreams. Walking in the Huaqing Palace at night, before even starting to watch the drama, it is already making people think.

The dance drama "Song of Eternal Regret" is inspired by Bai Juyi's long narrative poem of the same name. It uses modern dance drama and various high-tech sound, light and shadow arts to show the lingering love story between Emperor Xuanzong and Yang Guifei. In front of the landscape curtain of Huaqing Palace, this unprecedentedly gorgeous performance was so immersive.

Concubine Yang who came on the waves on Jiulong Lake, the figure of a maid under the clear spring and mist, the scene of unprecedented prosperity, and the war-torn Anshi Rebellion... including Yuhuan entering the palace, the Concubine coming out of the bath, the Concubine getting drunk, the Anshi Rebellion, the Mawei Mutiny, the Qixi Oath, the Death of the Concubine, and the Reunion in Wonderland are divided into ten scenes, each scene making it impossible to remove one's attention. At the foot of Mount Li, on the shores of Jiulong, the sad and beautiful love that occurred in the Tang Dynasty 1400 years ago unfolded slowly through time.

The most shocking thing is the projection on Mount Li, which is said to be the largest mountain projection in Asia. It appears in the key plot of the plot every time. It is shrouded in clouds, stars in the sky, and a bright moon in the sky, which is like a dream, which makes us exclaim constantly.

Before coming here, I always heard from people that if I didn't watch the Song of Eternal Regret, my visit to Xi'an would be in vain. I really didn't exaggerate. Mountains and rivers and beauty, home and country and love, collide here to create ups and downs, flashing and fading in the long river of history, and finally engraved into an immortal legend in this palace.

The twelve o'clock in Huaqing Palace is so rich that it makes people reluctant to leave.
The past was affectionate and tender
There used to be constant beacon fires and fierce remonstrance
are lost in the dust and smoke of history
Only the eternal clear spring water
It silently recorded the violent changes in Huaqing Palace

Perhaps, deep down, everyone
There is a classical soul
As long as you come to Huaqing Palace, you will activate the memories buried in your heart.
Waiting, slowly unfolding here.
Waiting, dreaming back to the Tang Dynasty here.

Bye-bye Huaqing Palace
This trip to Huaqing Palace fulfilled my dream of Hanfu
I really like it here,
I think it should be extremely beautiful here in autumn and winter. I really want to come again in autumn or winter!
