There is a cat in everyone's heart, free and unfettered. If you like it, you will leave if you don't like it, sometimes acting coquettishly and sometimes arrogant.

In recent years, more and more tourists like to travel to some sightseeing spots with cats sitting there. This time when I came to Huaqing Palace in Xi'an, I accidentally met a cat man and spent a quiet and lazy afternoon with its company. Travelling friends who like cats may wish to take a look!

In Huaqing Palace, this cat would lie in the grass, under the eaves, and on the stone steps. When it secretly poked its head out, it would be so cute that its heart melted. Visiting here may be the best choice to relax and play with relatives and friends.

Huaqing Palace is located 30 kilometers east of Xi'an, adjacent to the "Eighth Wonder of the World"-Terracotta Warriors. Emperors of the Zhou, Qin, Han, Sui, Tang and other dynasties built Li Palace Garden here. It is well-known at home and abroad for its eternal hot spring resources, historical allusions to the war of warlords, the love story between Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty and Imperial Consort Yang, and the place where the "Xi'an Incident" took place. Friends who like to study history can plan a trip during the National Day holiday and go here to trace the roots.

Buildings imitating the Tang Dynasty always give people a majestic feeling-key tourist areas such as Jiulong Lake and Furong Lake Scenic Areas, Tang Liyuan Ruins Museum, and landmark buildings such as Feishuang Hall, Changsheng Hall, Wanshou Hall, Huanyuan Hall and Yuwang Hall. Those walls with historical flavor leave a mark year after year. Such scenery needs to be experienced slowly and carefully. In Liyuan Music Square, cultural and creative elements such as facial masks and cartoon characters have appeared. These vivid and interesting details make the scenic area no longer stuffy and monotonous.

Look at the sky at dawn and look at the clouds at dusk. The mountain is dotted with scenic spots such as Lao Ma Temple, Lao Jun Temple, Beacon Tower, Military Remonstrance Pavilion, Shiweng Temple, and Yuxian Bridge."Evening Photo of Lishan" is one of the famous "Eight Scenes in Guanzhong". It was getting late at this time, so I took out my SLR to record the moment and capture the details. It is recommended to use a 135 or 70-200 fixed-focus lens; use a 16-35 lens for shooting a large panoramic view. Against the backdrop of the lake, mountains, green trees, and pavilions are divided into two, and the lakes and mountains are picturesque. This place is the "Xijia Tower", or the place where ancient dignitaries climbed the building to look into the distance and watch the sunset.

Use aerial photography to show you the whole picture of Huaqing Palace! It is understood that Huaqing Palace was a separate palace for feudal emperors in the Tang Dynasty. It is built against the mountains and faces the Wei River, leaning against the mountains of Li Peak. It is large in scale and magnificent in architecture. It is dotted with towers, halls and halls all over Li Mountain. Bai Juyi, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote in his poem "Li Gong Gao":"There is a palace on the high Li Mountain, and there are three or four layers of Zhu Lou and Purple Hall." Against the backdrop of Mount Li, pavilions and pavilions, lakes and mountains, can be seen in a panoramic view, as if you were there.

If you come to Huaqing Palace in the afternoon, don't rush to check in everywhere, find a secluded place, sit down and slowly enjoy the breeze and cicadas here. After the fragrance of the Qinyuan fills your body, you can slowly admire the garden. At this moment, don't you find that you seem to have traveled back to the Tang Dynasty? At the foot of Mount Li, the natural harmony and lively mountains and forests make this "palace" seem heavy and mysterious, and there is nothing to do. Visiting here also gives you a more mountainous atmosphere.

During the autumnal equinox, the sun shines through the towering ancient trees, and time seems to slow down, and the rhythm here also slows down. In the leafy garden, I finally let go of the fatigue of the journey and enjoyed the ancient charm and elegance of Huaqing Palace.

The lazy cat, who is not afraid of strangers at all, quietly hides behind the wall and watches you. Look at me again, look at me again... I can't do anything to you. I heard from the staff of the scenic area that this was a stray cat. At first, it remained vigilant and ignored strangers. Later, it was constantly fed by good-hearted people, and it gradually became closer to tourists and no longer feared. May this cat live quietly here without being harmed.
