Everyone knows that Xi'an was also known as Chang' an in ancient China. It was not only a world-famous city, but also the capital of many royal cities in our country's history. It also had many scenic spots such as Terracotta Warriors, Apang Palace, and Big Wild Goose Pagoda. Here you can also see the remains of many ancient buildings and preserved building complexes. Therefore, it can become one of the four major ancient capitals in the world and one of the most influential cities in China's development history. Today, Xi'an pays more attention to the protection of history and culture. While developing the economy, it is also restoring various ruins and monuments. The park I want to introduce to you today is an attraction that cannot be ignored in historical development. It is also one of the most famous parks in Xi'an City. This is Xingqing Park.
Xingqing Park was called Xingqingfang in ancient times. It has received great attention from the government since the last century, and 800 million yuan was spent on restoration and upgrading. Not only have various facilities in the park been improved, but also the park's walls and surrounding buildings have been restored. It is also due to such huge investment that the beautiful park in the eyes of people today has been created. Xingqing Park's cost of 800 million yuan is definitely not just because it covers a lot of buildings, but also because it covers an area of the largest among Xi'an Historical Parks, covering a total of 780 acres, which is why it is also called "Guanzhong Yuanmingyuan".
The history of Xingqing Park can be traced back to the period of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and was also the political center of the Tang Dynasty at that time. It has a long history and has been ridiculed as a "nail house" in the park. This is not a derogatory term. Such beautiful scenery and unique historical culture are too late to love. Think about it here, you can feel the same scenery as that enjoyed by ancient emperors, which is not found anywhere else. Xingqing Park still retains the palace where Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty lived with his favorite concubine, as well as the hall dedicated to Hanlin scholars and the palace where the emperor rested after the next court. Coming here for a day and rounding up is a day to enjoy the life of ancient emperors. You can also experience the beautiful scenery of the ancient Tang Dynasty through this small world.
There is an ancient building in the park where major political activities such as ancient imperial examinations were held. Looking at the empty space in front of the building, you can travel through to see the grand scenery of the time. Near this building, there is also Huaxian Xianghui Building, the first of the five famous buildings in the world. Because it is older than the four famous buildings in the world, it is named the first of the famous buildings. Another landmark building in the park is the Shenxiang Pavilion. Because the appearance of peonies in full bloom can be seen in the pavilion, it has also become the heart of ancient imperial concubines. It is said that Li Bai also recited poems here. There is also a dragon pond not far from the pavilion. It is said that during the Tang Dynasty, lotus flowers were planted here for the royal family to drink and have fun.
Xingqing Park is next to Xi'an Jiaotong University. The park is open for free from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day. From the moment you step into the park, the beautiful scenery of the park will make you forget your troubles and stay in the prosperous city. No matter which season you come here, you can see different scenery, which is worth a visit.
