    Qianling is the joint burial tomb of Tang Gaozong Lizhi and the only queen Wu Zetian in Chinese history. It is located in Ganxian County, Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province. It is the only unstolen tomb of the Tang Dynasty in China. It is also a national tourist attraction and a key cultural relics protection unit in the country. ‌ Because it is located in Ganxian County, and Liangshan symbolizes "Gan" (representing heaven) in Zhouyi Bagua, which fits the supreme status of the emperor's tomb, so it is called "Qianling". ‌‌ As the only two-dying emperors (Tang Gaozong and Wu Zetian) in Chinese history, it has set a precedent for the joint burial of the emperor's tomb. It is also rare in the world's mausoleum. ‌‌ 128 large-scale stone inscriptions in the cemetery, including no-word monument, Shushengji monument, 61 statues of Chenchen, etc., are known as the "Shengtang Stone Carving Art Open-air Museum". No-word monument is7.53 meters high, and eight dragons are carved, symbolizing the controversy over Wu Zetian's work. ‌‌

    When I went to Xi'an, I made an appointment for the Shaanxi History Museum. I didn't make an appointment, so I had to make an appointment for the Qin and Han Museum. Located in Qin and Han New Town, Xixian New District, it is a special museum that focuses on displaying cultural relics and history and culture during the Qin and Han periods. The exhibition hall is displayed with the concept of "big history + small theme", with "the same Qin and Han civilization theme exhibition in the world" and special exhibitions such as Qin and Han architecture, music, life, and more than 1,000 precious cultural relics and digital technology, vividly presenting the brilliant achievements of Qin and Han unified China. Its architecture integrates the style of Qin Xianyang Palace, and the magnificent atmosphere is intersected with the surrounding ruins, which has become an important window for interpreting Chinese civilization. I didn't expect that there are many collections and the experience is great. It is a little farther from the city. You can reach it by subway line 2 to line 14.

    Such a great site! Almost no one there. Note that this ticket is a QR code, not tied to your passport. Don't stop at the entrance booth, just go straight to the underground museum section and they'll scan the QR code.

    Except for the slow and child friendly attractions everything else is open in the afternoon! The afternoon ticket would've been enough. Prices are alright for a park. The park was really empty with only school classes where there in the morning, in the afternoon some more people came but still felt like we were almost alone. (Middle of November). Lots of photo spots !

    In March of Yangchun, the apricot flowers in the south of Jiujun Mountain were blooming, bathing in the fragrance of 10,000 mu of apricot forests in the mountain bottom village and Dongping village. I stepped into the Tang Zhaoling Scenic Area. Tang Zhaoling is the place where Tang Taizong Li Shimin and Wende Queen Changsun's funeral. It pioneered the model of the Tang Dynasty "Because the mountains are the tombs" system, concentrated the open weather of "Zhenguanzhi", carrying the glory and glory of the Tang Dynasty, and was the peak of the emperor's tomb in the Tang Dynasty. A monument in the architectural history of mausoleums in China and even the world. Step into the gate of the cemetery scenic spot, look up and see the whole picture of Zhaoling. At this time, the apricot flowers on the ridge are blooming, and the apricot flowers are like clouds and snow, and they are against each other with green pine and cypress. Like a colorful picture. The Jiujun Mountain in the distance is unique, the peaks are sudden, the towering, and the Wolong pan. The Zhaoling Tomb backed by the peaks is integrated with the mountain, and stands tall. "Looking up is over the hundred and the thousand, the next is thousands of miles", the sky is magnificent. Along the Shendao, the stone carvings on both sides were solemn, as if they were telling the majesty of the old Datang. I stopped and looked at them. These stone carvings seemed to have life. They took me through time and space and returned to the great Tang Dynasty, which was "nine days to open the palace, and all the nations came to worship the crown flow." For me, the trip to Zhaoling is not only a encounter with the natural beauty, but also a dialogue with history. Tang Taizong has rubbed his Xiongtuba industry into the mountains and rivers. In this ancient land, I seem to feel Li Shimin's Xiongxuan. Touch the pulse of history. History and reality blend here, let me know that the years flow, only traditional culture and national spirit can cross time and space, shine, lead us back to the prosperity of the world.
