The Xingqing Palace Park

Lived in Xian for many years, the Xingqing Palace Park is a site I will go every year in my Xian travel. At that time, the park did not have the wall around it, neither the lush trees and beautiful flowers.

Thanks to frequently visit, I have a little knowledge about the history of this park. But it has passed so many years that the memory about the park has faded to some extent. According to records, Xingqing Park Palace is one of the oldest relic park in China. I mean this park is the oldest at the perspective of ‘relic’, not the park itself.

In the year of 1956, following out the policy of improving city’s environment and building a beautiful city, the government of Xian carry out a decision to build a park on the historical relic, which also provides a place for the residents for rest and entertainment. The students and teachers in the Jiaotong University benefit first in the policy, for in a long time, they are free to visit the park.

Unlike the Terracotta Warriors tour, the staying in the Xingqing Palace Park gives me enough time to embrace this ancient city.

My Xian Trip with my Daughter

After fantastic oversea vacation, my daughter and I took a 4 day Xian Package tour, in which we have visited the most famous attractions in Xian in the previous three days, including the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, the Huaqing Hot Springs, the Qianling Mausoleum, the Shaanxi History Museum, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, the Famen Temple and the Xian Ancient City wall.

 In the last day, I decided to wonder in the city with my daughter to breath the special atmosphere of the ancient cultural city. It is a quiet leisure day to experience the charming of this ancient city.
My mother was also along with us to take care my daughter when I was busying in taking photos. She also in charge of answering the questions asked by the little kid and telling stories when she felt bored. I appreciated a lot to my mother in the whole Beijing- Xian tour.

“The never dried gentle Hot springs, the never died Huaqing Palace.’ This is a well known description about the Huaqing Hot Springs, which has witnessed the romantic but tragical love story between Emperor Xuangzong and his favorite concubine Lady Yang in Tang Dynasty.
