Detailed itinerary

1

We offer two flexible packages for this unforgettable Xi’an night tour, tailored to your preferences and designed to let you experience the best of the city’s after-dark charm. The Classic Package covers three iconic Tang-style night spots with seamless private service, while the Premium Package adds an authentic local dinner experience—perfect for savoring Xi’an’s flavors alongside its night views. Both packages include a professional English-speaking guide, a private car for the entire journey, and all entrance tickets, ensuring a hassle-free and personalized adventure.
Your tour begins with a convenient pick-up at your downtown Xi’an hotel by your guide and driver. From there, we head straight to our first stop, Tang Paradise—China’s first large-scale theme park modeled after the royal gardens of the Tang Dynasty, a place where ancient history comes alive under the night lights.

As you enter Tang Paradise, you’ll be surrounded by grand, meticulously restored Tang-style architecture—intricately carved pavilions, towering pagodas, and elegant corridors, all illuminated by warm golden and red lanterns that reflect beautifully on the park’s central lake. You’ll wander along the winding lakeside path, where the calm water mirrors the glowing buildings and the soft light creates a serene, almost fairy-tale atmosphere. Your guide will share stories of the Tang Dynasty’s prosperity, explaining the history behind the park’s iconic structures, such as the Tang-style main gate and the lake-side pavilions. This is the perfect spot to capture stunning photos: frame the illuminated pagodas against the night sky, snap candid shots of the lantern-lined paths, or take reflective photos of the architecture on the lake’s surface—every corner offers a picture-perfect moment that embodies the elegance of ancient Chang’an.

After exploring Tang Paradise, we head to Big Wild Goose Pagoda Square, home to the millennia-old Big Wild Goose Pagoda—a sacred Buddhist landmark that stands tall as a symbol of Xi’an’s ancient heritage. At night, the pagoda is bathed in soft, warm light, making it the centerpiece of the square’s night scenery. The square is surrounded by well-manicured gardens, stone paths, and subtle light installations that complement the pagoda’s grandeur without overshadowing it. This is one of Xi’an’s most popular night photography spots: you can take full shots of the pagoda against the dark sky, capture close-ups of its intricate brick details lit up by spotlights, or frame the pagoda with the square’s elegant garden elements. Whether you’re taking solo photos, group shots, or landscape photos of the pagoda and its surroundings, this spot guarantees stunning, memorable pictures that showcase Xi’an’s blend of history and night charm.

4

Our final stop is the world-famous Datang Everbright City, a vibrant pedestrian street that brings the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty to life with modern light technology. Here, grand Tang-style buildings line the street, adorned with brilliant neon lights, colorful LED projections, and intricate light displays that change with the night. You’ll see life-sized Tang Dynasty-themed sculptures—scholars, poets, dancers, and nobles—illuminated by soft lights, as well as poetic verses projected onto the ground and building walls, adding a cultural touch to the lively atmosphere. The street is filled with a warm, bustling vibe, with local vendors, street performers, and beautiful light installations around every corner.
This is a photographer’s paradise: capture the vibrant neon-lit architecture, snap photos of the Tang-style sculptures against the light displays, every moment here is full of color and charm, perfect for documenting your Xi’an night adventure.

If you choose the option 2, you can discuss with your guide to set aside one hour for an authentic local dinner. Your guide will recommend delicious Xi’an delicacies based on your taste preferences—from savory roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) and chewy hand-pulled noodles to flavorful local snacks. Additionally, if you wish to visit other nearby spots besides Tang Paradise and Datang Everbright City before or after dinner, your guide will happily adjust the itinerary to accommodate your requests, ensuring your tour is fully personalized.

After exploring all three iconic spots (and enjoying a delicious dinner if you choose the Premium Package), your guide and driver will safely send you back to your downtown Xi’an hotel, wrapping up an unforgettable evening of history, light, and charm in the ancient city of Chang’an.
