Not to be missed!! A wonderful visual show with storyline explained in English on big screens either side of the stage. Seating is tiered so stage is visible easily. Drinks & food can be ordered with the most basic ticket purchase/ seating. Cast stay in lobby post show for photos. Do not miss this dynamic show.
Show was nice, but book early as we sat in the soup serving area and at the back of the hall. Dumplings must have been for tourist nothing like the ones we had in Chengdu or Hong Kong. Very disapponited
We chose the no-dinner option. Super nice show, with high-end artists, colors, scenery changes and stunning costumes
Take a VIP seat, if you can. Don't save on this show. It's definitely worth seeing in the best place. The show is breathtaking. It is an epic and dreamlike representation of Tang history. That's a must.
The show was great and the dumpling dinner was really good. The attention that we received before the show made sure that we would have a great experience. We loved the experience.
This was an amazing trip that I would definitely recommend to family and friends! Jeff prepared everything for us and made sure we reached there on time. The show itself was a marvel to attend, Jeff also helped us get vegetarian dumplings during the order.
The show is amazing with lot of nice visual effects and the artists are well trained. It felt like almost a perfect stage show. For foreigners, there is a english translation on the screen so you can follow the story. The place serves food and wine/beer so you can enjoy that
It was a wonderful and beautiful sight, you were constantly surprised. The dresses were beautiful. We really liked this experience
The concert was excellent, highly recommended for tourists who wishes to immerse themselves in the culture of the Tang Dynasty. My host Jeff Ning was also friendly and helpful!
The show was really great, colourful and interesting and there was an English story to follow along so you could understand what was happening. The dumpling dinner was also quite good, the dumplings look small but are very filling and presented beautifully! Really nice experience that I booked for my parents and they both loved it
