The “Twelve Hours of Chang'an” Theme Block is the country's first immersive neighborhood dedicated to recreating the daily life and street culture of the Tang dynasty. By masterfully integrating iconic movie and TV franchises with profound Tang heritage, it offers visitors an instant journey back a thousand years - inviting you to live, breathe, and become a "Tang person" for a day.

Signature Experiences

Hanfu Dress Immersion: For the fullest experience, visitors are encouraged to wear their own Hanfu before arriving or rent a set at the onsite styling studios once inside, so as to fully embody Tang dynasty characters and capture unforgettable photos.

Living Performance Arts: Experience the rhythm of ancient China through hundreds of rotating performances across eight categories, including Tang Dynasty Palace Music & Dance Show, Rainbow Feather Dance, and the majestic Grand Tang Imperial Banquet Music.

Architectural Time Capsule: Walk through streetscapes meticulously reconstructed from Tang dynasty artistic masterpieces. The quarter draws direct inspiration from iconic works like Lady Guoguo On A Spring Outing and Court Ladies Wearing Flowered Headdresses to recreate authentic market life of the High Tang period.

Cultural Interaction Program: Immerse yourself among a cast of over 200 live actors portraying Tang dynasty personalities, from scholars and knights to merchants and palace attendants, who are mingling freely throughout the streets. Talk to wandering vendors with their carrying poles, exchange poetry with "Wang Wei", learn herbal wisdom from "Sun Simiao", or participate in traditional games like pitch-pot, ancient Chinese cuju, and chess. Earn "ancient silver notes" through these activities to redeem unique Tang-style cultural creations.

Food Stalls & Eateries: Savor more than 100 varieties of street food that would have been familiar in Chang'an (Capital of the Tang Dynasty), including Yu Family's sticky rice dumplings, Xiao Family's Wontons, Xi’an Style Lamb Soup, Huji Pastries, and Fire Crystal Persimmon Cake.

Handicraft & Souvenir Shops: Discover traditional craftsmanship at specialist stalls offering silverware, Liuli glazed glassware, Tang-style embroidery, paper-cutting art, and other cultural keepsakes.
