Huaqing Palace Heritage Site
Huaqing Palace Heritage Site is one of the few AAAAA-class tourist attractions in Xi’an not only for its old history but also for its natural beauty. Because of the hot springs here, the site was a winter resort for emperors and their concubines spanning different dynasties in ancient China. During the Tang Dynasty (AD618-907), Emperor Xuanzong had the Huaqing Palace built on the site of the old palaces for him and his favorite concubine Yang Yuhuan.
Former President of Ecuador, Gustavo Noboa Bejarano once visited Huaqing Palace Heritage Site.
