Xi'an - Celebration Park

Celebration Park covers 50ha/125acres around a small lake in the east of the city. The modern buildings are modeled on the Tang period style (618-907), in memory of the magnificent residence which stood here 1300 years ago. In 714, when Li Longji, was crowned emperor, he had the residence converted into an imperial palace. Its name is thought to commemorate his accession to the throne.
