In historic Xi'an, tourists are beating the heat

Grand Tang Mall, a pedestrian avenue with themes from the Tang Dynasty (618-907), moved some popular performances to nighttime and extended opening time to 11 pm.

Water stations are set up every 150 meters along the block, providing free water (boiled and cooled), as well as mung bean soup. Mist cooling systems are activated regularly during peak heat hours.

Multiple rest zones with seats and fans have been designated, and medicines to prevent heatstroke are available. Security staff carry first-aid supplies at all times.

During the hottest period, from 11 am to 4 pm, outdoor staff and performers work on a rotating schedule. Medical staff are on-site to provide prompt treatment for visitors affected by the heat.

At Tang Paradise, a sprawling cultural theme park, and Qujiang Lake Heritage Park, discounted evening tickets are available after 6 pm. The operating hours of nighttime lighting displays and boat cruises have been extended until 10 pm. Additional seating in shaded areas along the lakeside has been set up with water mist systems
