    Tang Dynasty Show and Dumpling Banquet

    We enjoyed the Dumpling Banquet very much! It was at a dumpling place downtown with a view of the Drum Tower. My kids enjoyed the show too.

    Banquet and show

    12 different dumplings were served followed by a musical show depicting the Tang Dynasty. Food food if you like dumplings and colourful show.

    Large assortment of dumplings but...

    <p>Large assortment of dumplings but pretty average. The show was OK. Please keep in mind, you will not be moved to the seats in front of stage. You will watch from your banquet table. Didn't feel it was worth the price.</p>

    <p>It's really touristy. The food was great, maybe a little cold by the time it gets to you, but the wide assortment of dumplings is impressive. I could have eaten a little more though. The show was nice, the singing and dancing was great, just some irritations with cell phones ringing and people taking pictures. You need to make sure you get a good seat though, a lot of the seats are not tiered and if someone tall sits in front of you its over. The tour company itself was nice, they picked us up and dropped us off, we probably could have set it all up ourselves but we only had a day in Xian and we did not want to miss anything.</p>

    Xi'an Dumpling Banquet and Tang Dynasty Show: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Xi'an Dumpling Banquet and Tang Dynasty Show cost?

    +

    Prices start at $102 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 Xi'an Dumpling Banquet and Tang Dynasty Show 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 Xi'an Dumpling Banquet and Tang Dynasty Show worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 21 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 Xi'an Dumpling Banquet and Tang Dynasty Show?

    +

    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 Xi'an Dumpling Banquet and Tang Dynasty Show 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 Xi'an Dumpling Banquet and Tang Dynasty Show?

    +

    Around 7 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 Xi'an Dumpling Banquet and Tang Dynasty Show 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.
