In the past two months, the North Square of the Dayan Pagoda has invested a large sum for the most extensive upgrade since its operation began, and it is expected to resume operations before New Year's Eve. Let's wait and see if the North Square of the Dayan Pagoda can reclaim its title as the largest musical fountain in Asia, or even the world. ️The Dayan Pagoda, Tang Paradise, and the Tang Dynasty Night City are all next to each otherI recommend visiting them together! My plan is to first visit the Dayan Pagoda, then go for a Hanfu fitting and styling. In the evening, I'll enter Tang Paradise for a stroll and catch some performances. After dark, I'll start taking photos and leave just before closing time, so I can enjoy both the daytime scenery and the night view of Tang ParadiseAfter leaving…

She hopes to bring classical aesthetics back into the public through her own efforts and restoration. "The GREAT SHOKUNINI" recently interviewed this 27-year-old Xi'an girl.
