A musical journey through the Tang Dynasty - colourful costumes, good dancing and quite interesting - good way to spend an evening!!!!

Took in the show after dinner and was amazed. The show is a historical dance through the Tang Dynasty. The costumes are beautiful and the dancers wonderful. It only lasts about an hour, but it is a wonderful way to spend part of an evening in Xi’an.

Tour was a little long - lots of walking! The dumpling dinner was ok but not amazing, we appreciated the rest while watching the show as we were exhausted. If we have the opportunity to go again we would just opt for the dinner and show.

We booked the Tang Dynasty Show and Dumpling Banquet through our guide, who recommended it. The restaurant was very busy with a lively atmosphere, the food was plentiful and the dumplings containing various fillings were delicious. After the meal we were shown to our seats which all had tables so we could have a drink whilst we watched the show, which itself was really colourful and entertaining. The dancers put a great deal of effort into it.

The show is something worth watching. I usually like to watch a cultural show when I’m visiting and also love to eat the food. It was all in one here enjoyed it!
