A Tang-dynasty street that glows at night
Datang Everbright City is a pedestrian street themed on the Tang Dynasty, running beside the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda. After dark it fills with lanterns, glowing facades and crowds, and feels like stepping into a Tang-dynasty night market.
Lights, lanterns and street performances
The street is free to enter and is best explored in the evening, when costumed performers, music and light displays appear along the walkway. The tree-lined central avenue is lit from end to end, making it one of Xi’an’s most atmospheric after-dinner walks.
Pair it with the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda
The street sits right beside the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, so it is easy to combine the two: visit the pagoda in the late afternoon, then walk the street after sunset when the lights come on. Wear traditional-style clothes if you want to join in with the many people taking photos in costume.
- Free to enter
- Best time: after sunset
- Right beside the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, visitors can find a range of attractions and amenities.
