Talk about a time-traveling brew! 🇨🇳 Foreign travelers, including CGTN's Rachel Weiss, recently stepped into the past at Xi'an's iconic Huaqing Palace—where a 1,200-year-old Tang Dynasty tea ceremony came alive. This isn’t your average cafe run: participants sipped tea using rituals fit for emperors, explored ancient imperial baths (👑 spa day, anyone?), and received a grand welcome that’ll make your TikTok feed jealous!
The Huaqing Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage site, blends history with sensory vibes—imagine floral-scented steam rising from hot springs while traditional music plays. 🌸💦 One traveler described it as \"like entering a period drama, but with fewer sword fights and more zen.\" Perfect for globetrotters craving authentic cultural immersion!
Xi'an’s latest cultural gem isn’t just a nostalgia trip. Organizers aim to preserve Tang heritage for Gen Z by mixing ancient rituals with Instagrammable moments. ✨ Travel experts say such experiences are booming as adventurers swap beaches for #LivingHistory destinations.
