A city written in verse

Inside the 12-seat cabin, audiences do more than just listen to the poems — they soar above lantern-lit palaces, glide past the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, and drift through mist-covered mountains that once inspired the poets, while verses echo through the experience in the voices of the masters themselves.

A short drive away, Tang Paradise, a sprawling cultural theme park, offers a quieter but equally immersive encounter with the poetic past. Built around the concept of "poetic soul, poetic realm, poetic life", the park has turned into a flowing scroll of Tang verse.

Another landmark is the City Wall Relics of Tang Dynasty, a linear park built atop the archaeological remains of the outer city wall of Chang'an. It has been transformed into a 4.2-kilometer-long poetry corridor. Along the route, visitors encounter static installations — murals, sculpted steles, and engraved pavilions — that trace the arc of the Tang poetic canon. The park also encourages participation: in a Tang poetry maze, families navigate hedgerows decorated with incomplete couplets, choosing the correct line to find the right path forward.
