Everyone will meet at the lobby of Tang Dynasty Palace by 7:00pm for you to get a ticket with your name. Enjoy the Splendid Tang Dynasty Music and Dance Show with fabulous music and dancing of Tang Dynasty, China's golden age. The show is also a different way for you to get to know the historical culture of ancient Xian city. What is great about this excursion is that it combines two great elements in one tour - an entertaining show and dumpling banquet that indulge all your senses. The dumpling banquet comes with approx. 18 varieties of dumplings including pork, chicken, mushroom and duck with leeks, carrots, lotus roots and more. The dumpling banquet starts around 7:00pm and after dinner you will enjoy the Tang Dynasty Music and Dance Show. The show ends about 9:40pm and the tour ends at the Tang Dynasty Palace.

Ok so the dinner wasn’t the best I’ve eaten but it was cheap and the show was marvellous. The musical interludes were interesting partly because the instruments were not known to us but the costumed dances were a visual feast. The announcers presented in English as well as mandarin so you had an idea what you were looking at. The Red and White Blossoms dance was my favourite, absolutely beautiful! One drink came as part of the meal deal but extra ones were cheap in my opinion. Show was a brisk one hour and ten minutes so time to go on somewhere else should you wish to.
