King You of the later Zhou Dynasty built a palace here, and in the Tang Dynasty it reached its peak and became the general appearance of the scenic spot today.
The most famous thing about Huaqing Pool is Concubine Yang Guifei and the Xi'an Incident. Yang Guifei, one of the four beauties in China, was born with beauty. She happened to meet the emperor's discerning eye. Once she was favored, Lotus Soup and Begonia Soup were the imperial soup pools used by Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty and Yang Guifei.

Jewelry dropped everywhere along the way, sparkling and extravagant. In modern China, on December 12, 1936, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng launched a "military remonstrance" in Huaqingchi, Xi'an, and detained Chiang Kai-shek in order to persuade Chiang Kai-shek to change his established national policy of "pacifying the country first before resisting foreign aggression", stop the civil war, and unite to resist Japan. Under the leadership of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and Zhou Enlai, Chiang Kai-shek accepted the proposition of "stopping the civil war and uniting with the Communist Party to resist Japan" and settled it peacefully. This became a major event that affected the course of Chinese history.
