A comprehensive guide to Tang Paradise, a spectacular Tang Dynasty-themed cultural park.
Tang Paradise (大唐芙蓉园) is a large-scale Tang Dynasty-themed cultural park built around the original site of Emperor Xuanzong's former palace in the Qujiang District. The park recreates the splendor of the Tang Dynasty imperial gardens with beautiful lake scenery, historic architecture, cultural performances, and the spectacular Dream Back to Tang Dynasty show.
Covering 1,000 mu (about 165 acres), the park features numerous reconstructed Tang Dynasty buildings, pavilions, bridges, and gardens centered around a large lake. Key attractions include the Ziyun Tower, Fengming Nine-Day Theater, and the beautiful gardens that change with the seasons.
