Location & How to Get There

Qujiang Ocean Park 3D Illusion Experience Hall is tucked inside the popular Qujiang Ocean Park complex in Xi’an. You’ll find it at Golden Coast Commercial Street, Yanta District, which is near the iconic Big Wild Goose Pagoda and Tang Paradise. To get there, take Metro Line 3 or 4 and hop off at Dalujiazou Station—it’s a short walk (or a quick bike ride!) from the exit. Buses like 407 or 526 also drop you nearby. If you’re coming from the city center, it’s about a 20-minute drive.

What’s Inside? A Trippy 3D World!

This spot is all about mind-bending illusions! They brought in the same team that designed the famous Jeju Island 3D Museum in South Korea, so you know it’s quirky. Imagine standing on a tiny balcony high above a “city,” or shrinking to the size of a bug next to giant flowers. The best part? Every room is designed to trick your brain into thinking you’re in a totally different world. Use your phone or camera to snap pics—you’ll get crazy photos that look like magic tricks!

Why It’s Worth a Visit

Even if you’ve done 3D museums before, Qujiang Ocean Park’s version has its own twist. It’s split into themed zones: ocean-inspired art, surreal landscapes, and wacky daily-life scenes (like a melting kitchen or a upside-down room). Some highlights include:

  • A “bottomless ocean” floor that makes you look like you’re sinking.
  • A giant shark mouth where you can pose as if you’re being eaten (don’t worry—it’s fake!).
  • Rooms that play with light, mirrors, and perspective to confuse your eyes.

Practical Tips

  • Tickets: Around 60-80 RMB (check online for discounts). Kids under 1.2m might get in free.
  • Time: Plan for 1-2 hours to explore all the rooms and take fun photos.
  • Crowds: Go early (right after opening) or later in the day to avoid long lines for popular spots.
  • Food: There’s a small café inside the park if you need a snack or drink.

For Families & Friends

This is perfect for groups! Whether you’re traveling with kids, friends, or even solo (great for Instagram!), the interactive exhibits keep things lively. Parents: kids love pretending they’re superheroes or tiny creatures. Just watch their step—some floors are intentionally slippery for effects!

Nearby Attractions

After your visit, stroll around Qujiang Ocean Park itself to see the real fish and polar bears, or head to the Qujiang Pool area for a lakeside walk. For dinner, Tang Paradise nearby has tons of restaurants with night-time light shows.

Final Thoughts

If you want quirky, shareable photos and a break from Xi’an’s historical sites, this is your spot. It’s not too pricey, and the air-conditioned indoor space is a lifesaver during hot summers or cold winters. Just be ready to laugh at how silly you’ll look in some of these photos—it’s all part of the fun!

Pro Tip: Ask staff for their favorite spots—they’ll help you nail the perfect shot!
