Good!

The food was great and the service was very well organised. The show itself was good but it seemed to us that the performers weren't actually playing their instruments or singing. Like they were lip syncing to the audio from the speakers. It was still enjoyable but left a little bit of a sour taste.

Operator response

Thank you for your review. We're glad you enjoyed the food and service, and we appreciate your honest comment about the performance. Just to clarify – the Tang Dynasty Palace show features a live traditional Chinese orchestra seated on both sides of the stage. The musicians are indeed playing live, and the theatre also uses some backing tracks to enhance the sound quality in the large venue. The live performance is real and is oTne of the theatre's proudest features. We hope to welcome you back for another enjoyable experience!

Show experience

They serve the food pretty fast. Dumplings were good. However, when I booked ed the tickets, there were no choice of seat selection and we were assigned on the back. There are many people blocking our view of the show- really have to stick my head out to view the show.

Operator response

Thank you for your review. Glad you liked the dumplings! About the seating – the theatre assigns seats by package: VIP area is for Imperial Banquet guests, and Dumpling Banquet guests are seated around it. We always try to upgrade when possible, but that night the VIP section was full. We understand this was frustrating. Next time, we'd recommend the Imperial Banquet package for the best views. Hope to welcome you back!

Beautiful show

The show is fascinating with music and typical dance from China, the costumes are colorful and impressive. The dinner was good, mainly filled ravioli with different proteins. Highly recommended.

A Show Beyond My Expectation

The show beyond my expectation. A beautiful artistic representation of Tang's Dynasty's Glorious past, with Xi'An as the capital of this empire and its cultural splendor that surpassed all frontiers, including the Silk Route.

Glitzy show, unappealing meal

Chinese musical instruments were great. Very colourful costumes, lots of parading, posturing and swaying around. The storyline was unclear and due to the seating arrangement it was hard to view the screen at the side. Hard to enjoy the meal which was mainly served in the dark. Very disappointing table service with uneven serving portions. Not very tasty.

Good show, needs to improve the sittings

Good show overall, loved the constumes, the music and the scenery!. The only negative is the limited visibility depending where are you seated (the seats are arranged as dinning tables and the ones closer to the aisle have people in front of them when the show starts, so you don't have a full view and need to turn 90 degrees in order to watch it).

Not enough time for dinner before the show

We were part of a group of 20 with reservations for this show. We arrived just before 5 pm and were seated with a good view of the stage. The dinner is multiple courses, and the servers began bringing food right after we were seated. The lights were dimmed twice during our dinner as performers paraded onto the stage, and gave us previews of what to expect during the show. Due to the large number of courses and the pre-show, none of our group and also many others at neighboring tables did not finish eating before the show began at 5:45. That meant you had to finish your meal in low light and have constant distractions from the waiters bringing food and clearing dishes. The meal itself was fairly good, and the performers and their costumes were excellent. There were even display screens on each side of the stage explaining the storyline (in English and Chinese) as the show progressed.

Operator response

Thanks for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the show. We just noticed that your booking was made with another angcy, not with us. Since your review covers their service rather than ours, we would kindly request that you post your comments on their page instead. This will help us keep our ratings accurate and fair. We hope you had a lovely time in Xi’an, and we'd love to welcome you as our own guest in the future.

Excellent show with great performance, excellent costumes, stage and set

The show was absolutely incredible. We really enjoyed it! 5 stars. We had the royal banquet and the food was just average for us. But overall a great experience in Xi’an!
