Are you fascinated by the golden age of the Tang Dynasty (618-907) – its poetry, wine, Silk Road trade, and the sound of camel bells? Step into the past at Fengxian Museum and experience life in ancient Chang'an just like a true Tang-era citizen!
This exhibition offers an immersive "time-travel" experience into the aesthetic life in the Tang Dynasty – the first in China to combine exhibition, education, entertainment, community, and performance in one integrated platform.

Make your way to the second floor, draw a mystery box, and reveal who you were in the Tang Dynasty – your adventure begins.
Step Three: Immersive NPC (non-performing character) experience
