A dream! Musical - The Song of Eternal Sorrow

The most beautiful musical in the world! Even if you don't understand Chinese, you can still follow this wonderful story. It consists of 95% music and dance. The most beautiful effects are used there, no other musical can compare. You should take the time to visit the palace complex beforehand, then you'll get the right feeling for it. I'll never forget it!!

Spellbindingly beautiful and utterly unique

Taken in a group of six by chinese friends. Absolutelly spellbound - never seen anything like it. If in Xi'an during the summer season, this is a must. Although I could follow the story my only (very small) regret was that I had not read up on the story. I now have a CD of the show and every time I watch it, I continue to be amazed. Better to have an early dumpling dinner in Xi'an before driving to the show. Visited in 2013 (not 2019)

Response from the operator: thank you for your high praise~

Dinner Package & Dance Show -The Song of Everlasting Sorrow Ticket: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Xian.

How much does Dinner Package & Dance Show -The Song of Everlasting Sorrow Ticket cost?

+

Prices start at $180 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 Package & Dance Show -The Song of Everlasting Sorrow Ticket take?

+

Plan for about 2 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 Package & Dance Show -The Song of Everlasting Sorrow Ticket worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 45 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Xian, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Dinner Package & Dance Show -The Song of Everlasting Sorrow Ticket?

+

No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

Is Dinner Package & Dance Show -The Song of Everlasting Sorrow Ticket suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 5. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 2-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Dinner Package & Dance Show -The Song of Everlasting Sorrow Ticket?

+

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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Dinner Package & Dance Show -The Song of Everlasting Sorrow Ticket 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.
