- Tang Paradise
Tang Paradise (大唐芙蓉园) is a large theme park near the city of
Xi'an , inShaanxi province,People's Republic of China . The park is at or near the site of an earlier garden complex in theTang Dynasty , but consists almost entirely of modern construction.The park features numerous buildings, squares, and gardens, all in a contemporary monumental style, but incorporating features of traditional
Chinese architecture , such as eaves and cornices. Some features are named after historical sites or buildings.The park is one of several modern reconstructions of ancient sites in
Shaanxi , which involve anachronistic styles and features, most notably the use of wide stretches of concrete surfaces.The setting, a landscaped convert|165|acre|km2|sing=on site surrounding a willow-lined lake, captures something of the look and feel of classical Chinese landscape painting.
In the evening the many thousands of visitors are treated to a spectacular Lake Show, featuring Lasers, video projection onto water screens, fountains and other special effects. The show was created by a UK company - LCI Projects Ltd.
