A gallery transports visitors back to the Tang Dynasty in the Tang Paradise park in Xi’an, capital of northwest China’s Shaanxi Province. In 2007, “Da Tang Fu Rong Yuan,” a Chinese TV drama series starring Taiwan actor Winston Chao and mainland actress Fan Bingbing was filmed here. Xi’an Qujiang Film & TV Investment Group, a company behind Jackie Chan’s 2016 film “Kungfu Yoga,” was one of the producers of the series that was developed based on the history of the Tang Dynasty. It was later exported to markets including North America, other parts of Asia and Africa, helping to promote the Tang culture internationally. [Photo provided to China Plus]

Xi’an served as the capital of 13 dynasties in Chinese history, from Western Zhou (1046 BC – 771 BC) all the way through the Tang Dynasty (618 AD – 907 AD). Boasting world famous sites such as the Terracotta Warriors, Xi’an is considered one of the birth places of the Chinese civilization. It was also the beginning point of the ancient Silk Road.
