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".

    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.

    Fun experience with movable seats, theatrical performances, interesting theatrics and novelties such as camels and doggos acting as wolves. Storyline wise, it is "slightly" exaggerated and contrived but this is acceptable as it allows a wider range of performances and costumes.
