Tickets and booking
Admission is 120 RMB for adults and 60 RMB at half price, valid every day of the year. Half-price tickets cover minors aged over 6 up to and including 18, and full-time undergraduate students or below. Entry is free for children aged 6 or under (or 1.2 m in height or shorter), disabled visitors with valid ID, spouses and under-18 children accompanying active-duty military personnel (with marriage certificate, household register or similar documents), the three categories of bereaved military families holding a preferential-treatment card, and fire and rescue personnel including retirees with valid ID.
The data pack lists no online booking channel, so the reliable move is to confirm current ticketing by phone on 029-85511888 before you go. The pack also carries an explicit caveat: ticket details are for reference only, and the park’s same-day disclosure takes precedence.
Entrance and routes
Two gate approaches are documented. Buses 22, 23, 24, 44, 146, 212, 224, 526 and 609 serve the Tang Paradise West Gate (Yuyuan Gate) stop, leaving a walk of roughly 580 m; buses 22, 24, 212 and 307 serve the South Gate stop, about 430 m away — the shorter of the two approaches on foot.
The pack does not designate a main entrance or list gate-level ticket offices, so treat both as valid arrival points. For taxis or ride-hailing, give the driver the street address: 99 Furong West Road, Qujiang New District, Xi’an.
Photo spots
The data pack names no individual pavilions, towers or viewpoints, so treat this as timing guidance rather than a shot list. What the schedule does guarantee is a long shooting day: the park opens at 09:00 and stays open until 22:00, so late-day and evening photography inside opening hours is an option the hours explicitly allow.
The two named landmarks you can anchor on are the West Gate (Yuyuan Gate) and the South Gate entrances. With a suggested visit of 1-3 hours, a single unhurried circuit leaves room to pause for photos without cutting the visit short.
Timing and crowds
Opening hours are 09:00-22:00, Monday to Sunday, all year. The pack’s suggested duration is 1-3 hours, which fits comfortably anywhere inside that 13-hour window. The pack contains no crowd or attendance data, so no quiet-day or peak-hour claims can be made; the practical default is simply to pick the slot that suits your day, with the fixed 09:00 opening and 22:00 closing as the only scheduling constraints.
If ticket rules matter to your plan, reconfirm by phone on 029-85511888, since the park’s same-day disclosure overrides the listed details.
Walking and effort
This is a walk-through park visit, not a hike. The pack lists no trails, elevation gain or internal route lengths; the only measured walking is the approach from the bus stops — about 430 m from the South Gate stop and about 580 m from the West Gate (Yuyuan Gate) stop.
Budget the 1-3 hour suggested duration as continuous, easy-paced strolling. Nothing in the data indicates special fitness or gear; comfortable shoes are the sensible default.
Getting there
City buses are the documented option. For the West Gate (Yuyuan Gate) entrance, take routes 22, 23, 24, 44, 146, 212, 224, 526 or 609 to the Tang Paradise West Gate stop, then walk about 580 m. For the South Gate, take routes 22, 24, 212 or 307 to the Tang Paradise South Gate stop, then walk about 430 m.
The pack lists no metro connection. If you prefer door-to-door transport, use the address 99 Furong West Road, Qujiang New District, Xi’an.
Cost breakdown
The only quantified cost in the pack is admission: 120 RMB for an adult, or 60 RMB at half price for eligible minors (over 6 up to and including 18) and full-time undergraduate-or-below students. Free entry applies to the qualifying groups listed under ticket-booking — young children, disabled visitors, military and bereaved-family beneficiaries with documents, and fire and rescue personnel with valid ID.
Bus fares for the routes serving the park are not listed, and the pack names no other paid items, so plan around the ticket as the fixed cost and treat everything else as unquantified.
