For the fans of the Miyazaki Hayao's Spirited Away, the Ziyun Building definitely reminded me of the Yubaba's Palace. The pond, the buildings around it - all makes you feel like being in the movie. The distant lights of the Tang Pedestrian Mall are like the market where Chihiro's parents got turned into pigs.

Entrance was from the West Gate. For foreigners without Chinese IDs had to show passports at the visitor's centre and the enter through a passage for disabled - kudos to the place for having such.

At 17:30 there was a fountain and light show in front of the Ziyun building in the pond. Without stopping for landmarks, the park can be walked around in under two hours. On the east and north sides, each lantern along the walkway represents a sad love story from the Tang Dynasty period.

There is a theater on site for which shows there are separate tickets sold. The entrance to the park itself is free.

No history here, just another large shopping and food complex. Probably built with domestic tourists in mind, as large crowds of them often congregate here.

This dinner show is okay, but over-priced, and feels overly synthetic.

If you plan to visit the Tang-Paradise after 7pm be prepared, that many shows and placed will be closed at this time.
But there is a nice show at the main palace, which is with laser and light, thats the best thing in the evening.

The Tang Paradise was built a couple of years ago. It's supposidly a copy of a Tang palace. It's just a bunch of poured cement structures with wood facades. If you enter you just walk around aimlessly looking at fake buildings. The real tragedy is that it was actually built over the ruins of a real palace from the Tang(this is the word on the street in Xi'an at least). Because of this, the original foundations and site are lost to humanity forever.

This is a large artificial park which has a lot of new but traditional looking buildings and walks around a large lake. It is quite expensive to get in and was almost deserted when we visited, except in the few locations where there were some dance or other performances where there were small crowds. There isn't much to see here though, and what there is is an artificial version of better examples you can see elsewhere in China.

We went to the Tang Paradise just for curiosity. My wife is Chinese and she was very skeptical to go. I insisted. She was Right.. truly right. The place is patetic, all is fake, shows are terrible and it is not really worth the money to enter.

Trust me when I say i've been all over Asia and china and this is a waste of your money. The tickets are 120 RMB p.p. It's a nice park if you like walking around a lot. Besides that it features too many animals in small cages and everything in the park has additional fees. Rent a boat? 80 RMB and above. Tour the park by car? 30 RMB p.p. Want to watch the world famous Tang dynasty show? 198 RMB p.p. Go and spend your time and money elsewhere in Xi'an since there is much more much more interesting worth your time and money.

way too commercial in concept, uninspired and super quiet. a ghost town of the future, designed along themes of the past.

In one word, the Tang Paradise was mesmerizing. When we went there, it was raining, but that didn't take away from the beauty of the garden. I've been to quite a few gardens like the Yu Garden in Shanghai and Butchart in Canada but my favorite by far is the Tang Paradise. It is lovely and scenic, and very Xi'an.

It is about an hour to an hour and a half tour on foot with photo stops. But you may extend as you wish. As with any attraction in China, there are electric cars for RMB5 per person which you can take at the entrance. I prefer walking though to be able to explore the entire garden. On a rainy day, the walk is quite pleasant and relaxing. Try to go on a breezy day, as it might not quite be so enjoyable with the high of the summer heat. Also, avoid weekends and public holidays. The garden is best enjoyed with less people. Take lots and lots of photos! There is no garden like Tang Paradise.
