    Great theatrical show and rich dinner of dumping

    A show that recreates a part of ancient Chinese history with musicians, dancers and figurants and a great display of choreography, light and excellent music. A very beautiful show and where you will have an unforgettable time. You will also have - if you choose - a rich dinner composed of dumpings of 12 varieties. Drinks come in soft and water.

    Dumplings and dancing

    We visited here in August 2019. It was a dumpling dinner and a Tang Dynasty dance show. The food was fairly bland, and there were people selling random souvenirs at the table throughout the dinner. The show was mostly dancing with historical details projected on the wall beside the dancers. A very cultural show and good basic insight into some of China's history.

    Glitzy Show

    It was the best dance show I have ever seen. It's a gorgeous stage with lots of different dances and glossy costumes.

    For Tourists

    Dumpling dinner before show was plentiful but mass produced, so was ordinary, three people from our group of forty got sick. Before show included the selling of unrelated souvenirs at the table. Show was reasonably well produced with lighting, dancing and bit of history told.

    Evening Tour: Xi'an Tang Dynasty Music and Dance Show and Dumpling Banquet: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Evening Tour: Xi'an Tang Dynasty Music and Dance Show and Dumpling Banquet cost?

    +

    Prices start at $69 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 Evening Tour: Xi'an Tang Dynasty Music and Dance Show and Dumpling Banquet 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 Evening Tour: Xi'an Tang Dynasty Music and Dance Show and Dumpling Banquet worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 10 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 Evening Tour: Xi'an Tang Dynasty Music and Dance Show and Dumpling Banquet?

    +

    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 Evening Tour: Xi'an Tang Dynasty Music and Dance Show and Dumpling Banquet suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Evening Tour: Xi'an Tang Dynasty Music and Dance Show and Dumpling Banquet?

    +

    Around 4 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 Evening Tour: Xi'an Tang Dynasty Music and Dance Show and Dumpling Banquet 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.
