Chang'an Twelve Hours Overview

A comprehensive guide to Chang'an Twelve Hours, an immersive Tang Dynasty themed cultural experience.

Chang'an Twelve Hours (长安十二时辰主题街区) is an immersive themed cultural experience area that recreates the daily life and atmosphere of Tang Dynasty Chang'an. Based on the popular TV drama, the area allows visitors to step back in time and experience the sights, sounds, and flavors of the world's greatest medieval city at the height of its prosperity.

The experience area features meticulously recreated Tang Dynasty streets, shops, and entertainment venues where visitors can interact with performers in period costumes, sample traditional foods, participate in cultural activities, and enjoy live performances. The immersive design makes visitors feel as if they have truly traveled back in time to the bustling markets and vibrant street life of ancient Chang'an.

Must-See Performances & Activities

Unlike the grand spectacle of Tang Paradise, this area focuses on an immersive experience with authentic street-life atmosphere.

I. Must-See Performances — With hundreds of shows running daily, if time is limited, prioritize these top picks and arrive early for a good spot:

  • Nishang Yuyi Dance (霓裳羽衣舞): At the B1 Shangyuan Ankang Taige Stage — the undisputed "queue king" of all shows. Dancers in flowing costumes with smoke effects create a dreamlike, ethereal performance. Arrive 20 minutes early for a chance to interact from the front row.
  • Tribute from Ten Thousand Nations (万邦来朝): On B1 Liren Street — a grand-scale spectacle recreating the grand ceremony of foreign tributary missions, with nearly all NPC performers on stage for maximum immersion.
  • Banquet of Supreme Bliss (极乐之宴): The grand finale around 21:00 — all performers take the stage with top-tier lighting and stage design, brilliantly showcasing the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
  • Tang Dynasty Court Music (大唐燕乐): At 1F Hua'e Xianghui Lou — a UNESCO intangible cultural heritage performance of Xi'an Drum Music, offering a breathtaking auditory experience.

II. NPC Interactions & Games

  • Meet NPCs: Nearly 100 costumed performers roam the streets — feel free to approach and interact with them to win rewards.
  • Traditional Games: Experience Touhu (arrow-pot game) and Shuanglu (ancient chess) — classic Tang Dynasty pastimes that are great fun.
