China facts & history in brief                 My China pages directory     Map of China Huaqing Palace and Hot Springs Excerpted from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Xian page The Huaqing Palace and the Huaqing Hot Spring has undergone four large reconstructions during its long history. The first could be dated back to the Western Zhou Dynasty of over 3,000 years ago. The second time was during the Qin Dynasty. By the time of the Western Han Dynasty it had become a popular destination for the Han emperors. During the Tang Dynasty, large number of palaces were built along the mountain slopes and in the surrounding area. It was then renamed the "Huaqing Palace".

Hui Chin and I spent a few very memorable days in Xi'an. We've visited most of the attractionsin and around Xi'an, some of them by conducted tours some of them individually. Terracotta Army Museum complex and Imperial City or Huaqing Palace or Daming Palace or the Huaqing Hot Springs and a few other places we visited with guided tours and while it is a reasonable value for money spent a lot of our time was wasted visiting commercial places like the Terracotta Factory, where we expected to spend some money, so the tour organisers or the bus driver or guide will get some kind of "kick-back", commission or something. During our trips we encountered very many such tours and visiting these commercial places like jewelery factories etc., but only one person, a very likeable Tuk-Tuk driver in Bangkok asked us if we don't mind to stop at a such of place, where he gets some petrol coupons for his Tuk-Tuk, regardless whether we buy anything and we can have a bit of a rest in a air-conditioned place and some free refreshments. These things are usually available at most places and there are no real pressure on us to purchase anything. I 'mean - real pressure', because you will be 'talked to' and 'shown' some merchandise and 'tempted' by huge price 'reductions' 'just for you', but no real pressure is used on you to succumb. Xi'an was one of the best organised, clean and very ordered city we've ever seen. The streets are wide and many of the buildings built in the traditional chinese way. Some modern multi-storied buildings incoporate some traditional chinese characters - maybe just a symbolic roof or doorway or something. Very beautiful city. We taken a few trips out of town from here too, like visited Ya'nan and the Cave dwellings further up north. More about that on other pages. 2007 You can click on these photos for an enlargement.
