Near the Big Wild Goose Pagoda , Tang Paradise is located in the Qujiang Resort, southeast of the Xi’an City, Shanxi Province. It is a newly opened tourist attraction in April,2005. Tang Paradise covers a total area of 1000 mu(about 165 acres) and of which 300 mu (about 49 acres) is water. This tourist attraction not only claims to be the biggest cultural theme park in the northwest region of China but also the first royal-garden-like park to give a full display of the Tang Dynasty’s(618-907) culture. Altogether, twelve scenic regions are distributed throughout Tang Paradise to provide visitors with the enjoyment of twelve cultural themes and a perfect exhibition of the grandness, prosperity and brilliance of the culture of the Tang Dynasty.

What makes Tang Paradise incredible is that it is no longer the garden mode of only water and mountains in the Chinese traditional sense. The outstanding designers of the magnificent Tang Paradise have integrated almost everything representative of the Tang Dynasty, such as the poetry, Chinese oprera and dance, the marketplaces, the food, the women's lifestyles, and science into every site using cultural themes, thus endowing every place with its own story and its own place in the tapestry of Tang Dynasty culture.

In Tang Paradise, another
surprising man-made wonder is the water film which claims to be the foremost in
the whole world. The screen of the movie is a film of water; thus it can create
a special kind of optical effect which makes the frame tridimensional. When
watching the movie, you can witness that the beautiful night and the fan-like
water surface become an ingenious integration. Every time the figures in the
movie appear on the screen, it seems that they are flying to the sky or coming
down from the heaven which throws you into a wonderful and illusory feeling
that you were personally on the scene. Splendid, indeed!

Tang Dynasty is known as the most prosperous era in the history of China. This is why we like to call ourselves 'Tang Chinese'. The Tang Dynasty theme-park looks really spectacular and modern as well!
