I would give this a miss
We chose the Imperial dinner rather than the dumpling option so we can’t really comment on that option. We just watched possibly the worst live show ever and the dinner that went with it was meant to fool foreigners… what “imperial dinner” has salad with mayonnaise, fried battered fish and shrimp to be dipped in tartare sauce and a black peppered steak that’s been velveted to death…. The menu felt like it was more to please a western palate than an authentic Chinese menu, much less an “Imperial” one. What made it worse was that they were rushing us through the dinner for the show and dishes were just plonked one after the other and, in fact, our dessert arrived together with our meat course. The show was torturous - and we are being nice here - compared to the show we watched in Pingyao, Another Glance of Pingyao or the famous productions, Impressions by Zhang Yimou, this was like pulling out nails. They should have stopped at the 4th dance but the dances just went on and on. I dozed off at some point and woke up every now and then, praying it would end. The only change in the dance routines was probably the costumes, and whilst they were nice costumes, but really how long can a show be dragged on? We felt a bit embarassed that we’d been conned into a tourist trap.

Good dinner, mediocre show
This was an add-on our tour guide, Tina, told us about earlier in the day. We went ahead and booked it with her, because it sounded interesting. The dumplings were amazing. Many varieties, all delicious. The show, however, was mediocre. It told some of the history of the Tang Dynasty, which was interesting, but the performances lacked pizzazz. We had good seats, but a tour group arrived late and was seated right in front of us. They were a continual distraction as they were served their dinner DURING the show because they had arrived so late. Overall, I'd opt for a dumpling dinner without the show if I had it to do over again.

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Dinner and Show of Tang Dynasty Palace in Xian: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Xian.
How much does Dinner and Show of Tang Dynasty Palace in Xian cost?
+
Prices start at $40 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Xian usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Dinner and Show of Tang Dynasty Palace in Xian take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Xian is not rushed.
Is Dinner and Show of Tang Dynasty Palace in Xian worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Xian, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Dinner and Show of Tang Dynasty Palace in Xian?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Dinner and Show of Tang Dynasty Palace in Xian suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Dinner and Show of Tang Dynasty Palace in Xian?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Xian can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Xian and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Dinner and Show of Tang Dynasty Palace in Xian start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Xian within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Xian?
+
On Outty we rank every Xian experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Xi'an Day Tour: Terracotta Army&Optional City Attractions, All-Inclusive Terracotta Army Tour with Premium Buffet Lunch, 2-Day Customized Warriors Tours & Xian Top Attractions. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Xian?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Xian?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
