[Xi'an Time-Travel Journey|Stay in Yang Guifei's Hot Spring Villa♨ Private Onsen with Lishan Mountain Views + Soul-Stirring Song of Everlasting Sorrow Performance]
Finally checked into the Huaqing Palace Hot Spring Hotel that I've been longing for after watching "Song of Everlasting Sorrow"! Soaking in the thousand-year-old imperial hot springs while admiring the autumn scenery of Lishan Mountain through the window, I almost felt like a runaway princess from the Tang Dynasty👑 (Full guide included!)
🏯✨[Sleeping in a Historic Hot Spring Palace]
Highly recommend the "Deluxe Hot Spring Suite" – lying in the same hot springs as Yang Guifei while stargazing is absolutely magical!
✅ 24-hour private hot spring in the room (the legendary "smooth hot spring water washing silky skin" is real!)
✅ Dedicated butler service + welcome fruit and Tang-style snack box
✅ Window views of the actual mountain backdrop from "Song of Everlasting Sorrow"
✅ Complimentary dual-entry tickets to Huaqing Palace + VIP access pass
♨ Private Onsen vs. Public Pools: How to Choose?
▫【Private Onsen】Perfect for couples/families – freedom to soak nude + jump in anytime (midnight stargazing while soaking is incredibly romantic!)
▫【Public Pools】Must-try the "Starry Sky Pool" ruins! Soak where Emperor Taizong of Tang once bathed, or enjoy Yang Guifei's rose petal bath🌸 with free fruits and drinks – pure bliss😌
📸 Hidden Photo Spots:
✔ Triple-arched gate for sunset shots of Lishan Mountain
✔ Changtang Sixteen Courtyards for instant Hanfu portraits
✔ Morning solitude at the Lotus Lake in the empty scenic area
🎭 Day 1 Itinerary: Immersive Tang Dynasty Experience
📍15:00 In-depth Huaqing Palace tour (right inside the hotel!)
▫ Touch the hot spring waters of Yang Guifei's Begonia Pool ruins
▫ Must-do with kids: Tang-era costume try-ons (children's outfits are adorable)
▫ Feed the internet-famous imperial cat in front of Longevity Hall
📍19:30 Devour a bowl of Shui Pen Yangrou (lamb soup)
Try "Qingya Zhai"'s hand-torn lamb noodles with sweet garlic – life-changing😭
📍20:10 Cry your eyes out at "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" live show
When the laser water screen erupts, the whole audience gasps!! When Lishan Mountain transforms into a galaxy, you'll understand "endless sorrow beyond the heavens"😭
🗿 Day 2 Itinerary: Time-Travel to the Qin Dynasty as a General
📍9:00 Charge to the Terracotta Warriors (15-minute taxi ride)
✅ Family-friendly activities:
✔ Excavate your own warrior with archaeology blind boxes (kids can't stop!)
