A reasonable mix of foods and dishes, he looks like a beautiful landscape. 4、 Tenderlion Beef And Fried Rice—Sauteed fillet of beef in sweet and sour sauce served with garden vegetables and fried rice. 5、 Orang Surprise - The Willow's Melody. 6、 Chinese Petits Fours—Platter of assorted ancient imperial “Dim sum” 7、Herbal Tea - Jasmine Tea,The last one is tea. From the best jasmine tea, as a post-dinner refreshment. Exquisite royal dishes accompanied by Chinese tea have become a classic of Chinese food culture.

Dumplings for tourist
Show was nice, but book early as we sat in the soup serving area and at the back of the hall. Dumplings must have been for tourist nothing like the ones we had in Chengdu or Hong Kong. Very disapponited

Great Tang show
The show was great and the dumpling dinner was really good. The attention that we received before the show made sure that we would have a great experience. We loved the experience.

Amazing show!
This was an amazing trip that I would definitely recommend to family and friends! Jeff prepared everything for us and made sure we reached there on time. The show itself was a marvel to attend, Jeff also helped us get vegetarian dumplings during the order.

Must try show, English translation for foreigners on screen and food/wine available
The show is amazing with lot of nice visual effects and the artists are well trained. It felt like almost a perfect stage show. For foreigners, there is a english translation on the screen so you can follow the story. The place serves food and wine/beer so you can enjoy that

Excellent
The concert was excellent, highly recommended for tourists who wishes to immerse themselves in the culture of the Tang Dynasty. My host Jeff Ning was also friendly and helpful!

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Skip-the-Line Tang Dynasty Show Ticket with Optional Dumpling: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Xian.
How much does Skip-the-Line Tang Dynasty Show Ticket with Optional Dumpling cost?
+
Prices start at $37 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 Skip-the-Line Tang Dynasty Show Ticket with Optional Dumpling 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 Skip-the-Line Tang Dynasty Show Ticket with Optional Dumpling worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 30 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 Skip-the-Line Tang Dynasty Show Ticket with Optional Dumpling?
+
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 Skip-the-Line Tang Dynasty Show Ticket with Optional Dumpling 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 Skip-the-Line Tang Dynasty Show Ticket with Optional Dumpling?
+
Around 11 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 Skip-the-Line Tang Dynasty Show Ticket with Optional Dumpling 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.
