The scenic area is located at the foot of the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, one of Xi'an's most sacred monuments. During the Tang Dynasty, it was the place where eminent Monk Xuanzang translated Buddhist scriptures.

Strolling through the street, you will be instantly fascinated by the myriad of buildings that exude the architectural style reminiscent of the Tang Dynasty, while interactive shows immerse you in the rich tapestry of traditional Chinese culture.

"Here, every attraction reveals the profound nature of history, and every piece of music and dance performance tells a historical story. Whether one's passion lies in literature, history or food, everyone can indulge their interests and find delight in this remarkable place," said Liu Zhimin, another tourist from south China's Guangdong Province.

Such Tang-style blocks based on historical heritages have proven to be successful as Xi'an endeavors to develop its cultural tourism industry and stimulate the vitality of fine traditional Chinese culture.

As the provincial capital of northwest China's Shaanxi Province, Xi'an, a city founded more than 3,100 years ago, served as the capital for 13 dynasties in Chinese history, including Tang, when the city was known as Chang'an.

This is also the place where Zhang Qian began his journey to the Western regions via Central Asia during the Western Han dynasty (202 BC-AD 25) with his envoys. Zhang's pioneering expedition opened up a route that later became the Silk Road, which would go on to see flourishing interactions between China and Central Asia.
