The night is late, then comes Datang. Datang Never Night City, the sub-venue of the 2016 Spring Festival Gala, has been a must-visit place in Xi'an since 2016. Datang Never Night City is a Tang-style street located in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda Square. The buildings on both sides of the street are in the style of Tang Dynasty, with bright lights at night. When you step into this street, you will be amazed as if you have entered the Tang Dynasty. It is a prosperous and glorious era, and you will be captivated and reluctant to leave. You can watch various performances for free in the neighborhood, including violin, cello, hand drums, solo performances, and rock band singing, etc. As a local, I often want to take photos there every few days and don't want to leave once I start. You might be even more crazy about it after your visit than me.
The most worth seeing thing on the north square of the Great Wild Goose Pagoda is its fountain show. At night, colorful lights shoot from the top of the pagoda to the fountain pool. The water columns in the fountain pool change their shape with the music, which is beautiful and pleasant. It creates another world in your mind with the combination of lights, sound, and water. The north square of the Great Wild Goose Pagoda is right next to the Tang Paradise. When you visit the Tang Paradise, you can watch the fountain show in the area adjacent to the north square.
The Da Tang Fu Rong Garden is constructed based on the Fu Rong Garden of the Tang Dynasty. During the daytime, it is the imperial garden of the Great Tang Dynasty, while at night, it is beautifully lit up with various scenery. In addition to the "Dreaming Back to the Great Tang" performance, there are also light shows in the Fu Rong Garden. Visiting the garden at night will give you a different color and fragrance, making it an unforgettable experience.
There are various coffee shops and bars in Defu Lane under the city wall. During the day, people call it the most artistic street in Xi'an. At night, it transforms into a different scene and becomes known as Bar Street. If you want to have a drink at night, Defu Lane is definitely the first choice. Here, you can find coffee, tea, and alcohol. Whether you are alone or with friends, you can definitely find a suitable shop here. Enjoy a small drink while admiring the night scenery.
Shuncheng South Alley
Shuncheng Alley is located under the city wall. There are many small restaurants here, offering a wide variety of food and drink. Strolling leisurely along the base of the city wall, I randomly chose a small restaurant and ordered a plate of delicious wine. Every sip was a pleasant surprise, and every restaurant had its own story. Perhaps someone can tell you the stories.
