What an amazing show! The dances and live music transport you back in time. While the narration is in Chinese, there are English subtitles on screens—but the visuals tell the story beautifully on their own. Huge thanks to the Xi’an China Travel Service staff who helped us with internet issues and even arranged perfect seats. You must experience this in Xi’an!
