The Memorable Tang Dynasty Dinner Show Xian

Xian was a former Chinese capital during the Tang Dynasty and has long been considered one of the key places where cultural pursuits were developed in ancient China. Today it is living up to this tradition with nightly presentations of the Tang Dynasty Dinner and Dancing Show Xian. This is a wonderful way to experience the vibrant colors and performances of traditional Chinese dance and music.

The show, which has been wowing audiences since 1981, is a permanent place holder in the top ten attractions and things to do around Xian. Visitors love the combination of delicious Chinese food alongside an energetic and vibrant performance of ancient traditions and cultural arts.

There are three different locations around the city that offer a Tang era performance. Typically the show begins with a performance of Chinese music and then there is dancing. The stage is awash with the rich and vibrant colors of the costumes as the dances twirl around the stage. There are photo opportunities galore here at the dinner show to help you remember the sites and sounds of Xian, China.

The Tang Dynasty was at the helm from 618 - 907 A. D and during this time cultural pursuits of music and dance flourished. The styles that were developed during this time have been hugely influential on the development of song and dance throughout China as well as Japan. They have undergone a renaissance in recent years and the Tang arts have been rediscovered and made available to more Chinese and international tourists.

Several cultural documents were re-discovered in Xian and they helped to faithfully recreate the dances that were performed at court during the Tang Dynasty. Other ancient relics and murals have also helped to ensure that the dances that are presented are authentic.

The show included both the performance and a delicious 18 course dumpling banquet. It is an all you can eat affair and you have the chance to try dumplings with a variety of fillings such as chicken, pork, beef and nuts. There are other items included too such as tenderloin beef and rice. To accompany that there is plenty of beer, rice wine and jasmine tea to go around too.

When dinner has finished, then the show begins. It guides the audience through court life and practices that were in place more than a thousand years ago in China. A lot of research and training is put into developing the dances and they are authentic and faithfully represented on the stage.

The Tang Dynasty Dinner and Dancing Show Xian has wowed hundreds of thousands of visitors since it began in 1981. It is often cited by people as their favorite experience in Xian and even China. The combination of ancient China brought back to life with the dazzling costumes and music are a winning formula. If you visit Xian, then going to the Tang Dynasty show should be at the top of your after dark entertainment list.
