Datang Furong Garden
The Datang Furong Garden, a national 5A-level scenic area, is located in the Qujiang New Area in the southern part of Xi'an, facing the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda from afar. It covers an area of 998 mu, including a water area of 300 mu, a green area of 440 mu, and a building area of nearly 100,000 square meters. The overall planning and architectural design of the garden's buildings were undertaken by Mr. Zhang Jinqiu, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and the landscape design was carried out by Mr. Akiyama Hiroshi, a Japanese garden master. It is a large-scale cultural theme site park that comprehensively showcases the grandeur of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Since its official opening on April 11, 2005 (the third day of the third lunar month), it has been committed to creating a high - quality and high - standard brand tourist attraction.
The Datang Furong Garden aims to be "a garden of history, a garden of spirit, a garden of nature, a garden of humanities, and a garden of art". It has specially invited a panel of experts composed of more than a dozen experts in Tang history, Tang poetry, Tang paintings, and Tang architecture, including doctoral supervisors, researchers, and tourism experts from the Chinese Society for the Study of Tang Dynasty Literature. This expert group has re - excavated and collated the historical and cultural content of the Datang Furong Garden, and re - planned and positioned the entire garden's landscape. Fourteen landscape and cultural areas have been delineated, including the Imperial Culture Area, the Women's Culture Area, the Poetry Culture Area, the Imperial Examination Culture Area, the Tea Culture Area, the Song and Dance Culture Area, the Food Culture Area, the Folk Culture Area, the Diplomatic Culture Area, the Buddhist Culture Area, the Taoist Culture Area, the Children's Amusement Area, the Entrance Landscape Culture Area, and the Water Show Performance Area, comprehensively reproducing the glorious civilization of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
There are pavilions, towers, engraved corridors, and painted buildings in the garden. There are more than twenty scenic spots, such as the Ziyun Tower, the Ladies' Hall, the Lu Yu Tea House, the Apricot Garden, the Rosy Clouds Corridor, the Qujiang River Drifting Wine Cups, the Fair Ladies' Parade, the Gorge of Tang Poetry, and the Dogwood Terrace, which collectively display the magnificent spiritual outlook and the incomparably splendid and diverse culture and art of the Tang Dynasty. It is known as a tourist destination that "amazes the Chinese people and astonishes the world".
The park features a large - scale water dance and light show called "Dreaming of the Tang Dynasty", where visitors can take a boat ride around the park to enter a dreamy realm. The large - scale super - dimensional situational dance drama "Dreaming Back to the Tang Dynasty" is magnificent and dream - like. The Tang Dynasty court banquet music performance "Drums" interprets the intangible cultural heritage of the Dongcang Drum Music. There are also high - quality cultural and tourism event brands and projects such as the Spring Festival Grand Gala, the Shangsi Festival, and the Qujiang Flower and Moon Banquet. With multiple free and wonderful performances at scenic spots every day, it is an enthusiastic invitation from the Tang royal family to tourists, allowing them to experience the sacred and grand royal culture in a shocking way.
As a high - quality, distinctive, and culturally rich theme site park, the Datang Furong Garden is a cultural window through which Xi'an showcases the ancient historical heritage of Chang'an and the prosperous Tang Dynasty to the world, and it is also a cultural gateway that attracts the world to understand China.
