Where to Go for a Cool Summer Trip? Enjoy Mountain Breezes, Shows, Food, and Lantern Displays – Start Your Nightlife Mode at Xi’an Louguan

The thousand-year ancient capital—always visit Chang'an! Chang'an's night is not just the night of Datang Everbright City, not just the night of the Bell and Drum Towers, not just the night of the ancient city wall, but also the night of the ancient Louguan. As early as 2500 years ago, Yin Xi at Louguan observed the celestial phenomena at night and welcomed Laozi into the pass to the ancient Louguan, thus enabling the Tao Te Ching to be passed down through millennia and become a classic. The night at Louguan is not only a cool night of pine waves and bamboo shadows, but also a joyful night where you can revel until intoxicated—the later it gets, the more vibrant!

June 12, the first day of the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, Louguan also welcomed its highlight moment. At 7 p.m., under the sunset glow, the 'Xilv Four Seasons · Happy Planet Cool Summer — The 2nd Louguan Summer Night Tour Carnival' event was officially launched at the Zhao Gongming Cultural Scenic Area. Over a thousand guests, media, and tourists from Xi'an Tourism Group, Xi'an Louguan Eco-cultural Tourism Resort, and other units attended the launch ceremony.

With all eyes on it, as the launch ball lit up, the light installations within the Zhao Gongming Cultural Scenic Area lit up in sequence from near to far, instantly transforming the entire park into a dreamlike ocean of brilliance.

Renowned Xi'an musician Wang Jianfang and his band performed live songs such as 'Chang'an Night' and 'Our Fellow Countryman is the God of Wealth', officially kicking off this summer night cooling party. His music integrates local Shaanxi cultural elements like dialect, local accents, and Qinqiang opera, expressing thoughts on life and the world through dialect rock, striking the soul and resonating deeply. Especially in the hometown of the God of Wealth, at the Zhao Gongming Cultural Scenic Area, the song 'Our Fellow Countryman is the God of Wealth' made people feel a special closeness. Many on-site viewers said his songs are truly songs of us Shaanxi people—listening to him is exhilarating and thrilling!

Of course, with the theme 'Happy Planet Cool Summer', the #NightTourLouguan# event is not just about listening to songs; you can also enjoy lantern displays, savor delicacies, relish the gentle breeze, and a full range of super exciting interactive games to flip your summer joy.
